I wasn't as familiar with the original Tomb of Horrors when I first read the book in 2011. I just re-read the passage applying your notes and...there are definitely a few areas where that avatar would have been killed instantly. I enjoyed your take on this.

That's great. There's a scene in the book where R2D2 is a DJ in a cyberpunk club. I hope that scene is included. I saw they replaced Ultraman and some of the other obscure anime robots from the final gate with the Iron Giant and more well-known giant robots. I'm still looking forward to the film.

The scene in the book is long and detailed. It would be pretty cool to (spoiler) see Acererak match Parzival in Joust at the end of the tomb, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm excited to see how the movie handles most of the gates.

If Spelljammer is coming to 5e, I'm going to immediately abandon the Tomb of Annihilation, dust off my old 2e campaign and play as often as possible. I loved Spelljammer, so I'm going to keep close watch on this.

Those star bases look amazing. I'm also excited about the WOIN starship book.

Mike is an amazing designer. He has some great stuff over on his own website, like 5e versions of Street Fighter 2 characters and Simon Belmont from Castlevania, among others. Congratulations, Mike!

This sounds cool. I've always wondered about using an LED TV or a projector for games, but always find myself going back to mats, tiles and theatre of the mind. What's your set up like for this?

Hey, I should do a shout-out to Dwarven Forge! They're amazing...I've just never had much of a set. :D

I highly recommend the Lazy Dungeon Master. I always find myself crunched for prep time, and Sly Flourish's tips have saved my game more than once!

I used the Dungeon ones this exact way during my last game. I place them on top of wilderness dry erase mat and it seemed to work well!

Dry erase boards. Flip mats. Graph paper. Lego. Theater of the Mind. All of these are valid, tried-and-true methods of tracking movement/combat in Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs. While I've employed all of these in the past, nothing has worked better for my games than the dungeon tile. The...

Though I've had the book for a bit over three years, I can't honestly say I've read it all the way through. There's some great info in the book for sure. After reading this, I'm inclined to look over mine again soon, especially to help with story telling for my upcoming Starfinder and Tomb of...

I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the awesome tip!

These are most excellent. Some great work here!

Thanks for the feedback on those points. I'll have to study the starship combat rules a bit more in-depth, as I've come across that same issue. The game is fun so far.

I ended up buying the Core book today and it honestly seems pretty straightforward. I'm excited to run my first game. I'm still interested in tips and feedback, but not nearly as nervous as before.

5 out of 5 rating for Xanathar's Guide to Everything The book is an excellent addition to the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons. Our review at Nerdvana Media breaks down why it's one of our favorite releases of 2017. Read it over at Nerdvana Media.

Adobe Creative Suite. I use InDesign and Photoshop mostly. There's a great website for monster/adventure templates in the 5e style here: http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/ As an alternative, GIMP would probably work in lace of Photshop and Scribus as a substitute for InDesign.

I've been looking through some Starfinder material at my FLGS and must say I'm impressed with what I've seen! I am quite intrigued and interested in getting into the game. I've been running a D & D game since the mid-90s in one form or another, beginning in 2nd edition. I skipped 3rd and 4th...
