RAW, this is correct, but I remember Mearls saying via twitter something along the lines of "it's not really meant to use with cantrips, and in that case I'd rule the damage is the same as casting a 1st level spell".

What Thaumaturge said, but using an Italian accent. :D

If you're not using a grid -such as I- describe the scene as best as you can so everybody is on the same page. During my first session, players were somewhat lost in the combat and kept asking questions about distance and positioning; after I improved my descriptions and detailed exactly how...

I agree with you, but I'd say that OP and sandboxing are mutually exclusive. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense to organize a campaign in which every group goes a completely different direction.

I used to think monsters had far too much HP until I got to run 5e. Even low level characters can deal a surprising amount of damage, so after my players cleared their first dungeon before breakfast I can say: monsters may not have enough HP for these guys ;)

Yes, I'm quite fond of 5e's approach to monster design, but then again I've never been the most tactically oriented DM.

I love it too! *hi-five* Halflings, yeah! ;)

Is there any chance the D&D Epics adventures will be made available at some point? OP or not OP, I'd still love to take a look at the adventure!

I'm in. I'm waiting for the material to be available too- I have hopes for the downloads to be ready by EOD.

Thaumaturge justed confirmed Dragons do get spells: Source

I don't have the MM yet, but the index previewed here a couple of days ago doest list the Arcanoloth in page 113.

I'm running LMoP with 6 PCs and this is what I do: -Multiply number of non-unique monsters by 1.5 -Increase HP of "boss" (e.g. Klarg) or solo monsters up to 50%.

Here, here and here. Looks pretty cool to me! :D

I'd personally make Prestige Classes into Feats with prerequisites, probably in sets of two or three. So any PC that could qualify for a Purple Dragon Knight would be able to gain progressive benefits at 4th, 8th and 12th levels (or faster for some classes), should the player decide to advance...

FWIW, characters don't change that much between levels except at specific "milestone" levels (such as 3rd, 5th, 10th and so on), so that while leveling up does happen often and PCs get new stuff as they level up, it's not as drastic as in other editions.

I'm with Jester here: I've tried to do it for 4e, but we weren't getting much out of it so we stopped. Most of my players don't read the books, or DM books at least, so facing a new monster is always an exciting prospect for them. Sometimes they learn stuff about the monsters they'll be facing...

No problem, I can deal with the little typos on the PDF or physical book. I purchased the digital version of the map for printing (alas, due to shipping costs and customs fees I can't buy the physical map from Blando) and it looks AWESOME :D I wager these places still exist on FR, but aren't...

Thanks for the update, soulcatcher78! I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive. The Encounters PDF still has the wrong spelling, though.

I'd bet real money we'll see FRCS during late 2015/early 2016. "Not in development" doesn't mean "We ain't gonna do it".

I'd like up to 4 supplements a year, personally.
