it doesn't feature the works of creators who spend their copious free time being edgy online. This is unnecessarily snide. There are a multitude of ways to indicate that you appreciate the tone of this design without implying that other people's creative endeavors are a waste of time.

The Mulmaster Sea-Snake!

I find it more likely that all the marketing for the event is drawn from this season (Tomb of Horrors being in the Tales from the Yawning Portal hardcover), but that the actual storyline will be something quite different. WotC is in a pattern of alternating nostalgia products (Curse of Strahd...

Eltab: Glad I could help! More fun with Glyph of Warding: since Counterspell states that it interrupts a creature casting a spell, the spell in the glyph can't be counterspelled! (Extrapolated from one of Jeremy Crawford's recent tweets.)

The line about a glyph doing harm was removed in the PHB errata.

You can cast Glyph of Warding at a higher level to store higher-level spells.

I'm picking new spells for my abjuration wizard, and I'm realizing that there's a lot of non-attack spells you can store in a Glyph of Warding. It's basically an expensive spell scroll you can't move, that only holds spells that affect a single creature or an area, and the spells don't require...

Second "Blades in the Dark". And I'm going to make an argument for adding the "Adventures in Middle Earth Loremasters Guide". Yes, the Player's Guide came out in 2016, but (from the reviews I've heard) it's not really fully playable without the Loremaster's Guide. And yes, it does use the D&D...

WizKids D&D miniatures are a line of prepainted minis. Except for the invisible ones. :)

[Duplicate post; please delete.]

[That should be "David Leslie Johnson", not "David Leslie Jones".] Based on the director & the writer's past work, I'm guessing this is going to be terrible. Mind you, "terrible" might still mean "lots of fun for 10-13 year-old kids", which wouldn't necessarily be bad for the brand. I know I...

Most are 4-hour adventures, with a few 2-hour adventures scattered in there. Of course, the way I ran them, the 2-hour adventures took four hours... Be sure to track down the Google Doc "errata" page for AL adventures. WotC edited the adventures using InDesign, and now that the adventures are...

For "Kingdoms of Kalahari", I'm pretty sure you mean "Kingdoms of Kalamar". A useful piece of data would be to have separate categories for "Forgotten Realms - Adventurers League" and "Forgotten Realms". I'm curious how many people play in the Realms because it's the only legal setting for...

The creatures we call "orcs" are actually humans with a genetic condition: "orcism". People with the condition have been forced out of civilized lands for millennia; they've banded together for protection, and interbreeding has strengthened the trait. "Half-orcs" are people who have the...

Minor correction: According to the most recent PHB errata, you don't technically gain the blinded condition while in darkness. "Vision and Light (p. 183). A heavily obscured area doesn’t blind you, but you are effectively blinded when you try to see something obscured by it." I think that's just...

There's a lot of things you could do. It sounds like both of your players agree that their power level needs to be dialed back, but at least one of them is still attached to their current character and/or the current story. Here's one idea: Alternate between running two campaigns. In the first...

Neat! FYI, there's also a very cool pursuit tracker here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/adventurersleague/809992819126274/

As written, valuable items are stashed in the leader's chest; everything else is just gone. The search for gear and spell components (not to mention food, water, and shelter) drives a lot of the first half of the adventure. Maybe they can find out their gear was sold to a trader heading to X...

That's a perfectly valid interpretation. The way the rules on "Food and Water" are written, you only check once, at the end of the day. I was going with rules-as-written.

Ha! I knew I was forgetting something. :)
