Thanks for all the valuable answers, much appreciated. While I'm reading chapter 3, quick question: Langdedrosa is supposed to be fighting the chars in room 9 if the hatchery. Either another one-on-one, or joined by 2 berserkers against a party of 4, who should be level 3 by then. With L being...

What system was this about anyway? Too old for 5e (which gives a clear "stunned = failed DEX save" anyway), so PF or 3e?

Wait.... DDB is NOT owned by Curse anymore? Then why the blazes do I still have to use a freaking Twitch account to log in (or Facebook, Google, whatever poison is out there)?!? Wouldn't separating from Curse (Twitch / Amazon) be the ideal moment to get rid of that cursed (hah!) junk?

Ok, so we've played 4 sessions now, finished chapter one last session. All went fairly well, I think. The party had a few rough encounters, though all things considered didn't have too hard a time. I still feel like I managed to convey the feeling of being in a town under attack by raiders and a...

I would agree with the IP, except for the damage of the butt side attack. "this attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4". looks like just a d4, no strength bonus, to me.

I answered specifically with D&D in mind. I played "Das Schwarze Auge" (the 'german D&D') quite some time before that.

I can't truthfully answer, as my take is "everything that I own for 5e is legit, and if it's in something I don't own, show me and sell me on it". Which is how my Tyranny party came to include a Firbold and a Kalashtar-based bug person (by far the most off-road build I ever allowed).

Howdie, In a campaign I'm playing in, we found a "Box of Darkness", that emanates a Darkness spell when open (centered on the box). It's theoretically awesome, but, as none of us seem to be able to see in / through magical darkness, we've never actually used it. What would be ways to see in...

Actually not too great. Nothing from inside the game (Ghosts of Saltmarsh, 5e) I'm playing in, more a group dynamic. After 6 months of IC downtime we got back in action, but everything felt sluggish and gloomy. We never for into the 'flow'. Hopefully the next session will be better.

Cool stuff! I swear, once we're done with HotDQ (so, in like 5 years), we'll get straight on WotBS. I love that thing so much.

This would me really happy - if it didn't happen only a few weeks after this here post https://www.enworld.org/threads/are-high-resolution-maps-available-for-vtts.673034/post-8109562 that made me ultimately change my plans and instead run Tyranny of dragons. Not that I mind running ToD, but...

Ah, indeed. I guess I could have looked that up myself. ;) Thanks. I will say, mechanically I don't see enough of a difference to make the distinction worthwhile, but lore-wise it seems clear enough. I'll be able to work with that. Thank you :)

So, I'm about to start DMing Tyranny of Dragons (man, that book is a true beauty) and I'm going to use this thread to post some questions that come up. I hope it's ok to pile it all in one thread, if not please let me know. First of, what's up with those "half-black dragon" NPCs? I mean...

This just went on my wish list. Thanks for the review.

Heinemann also was part Interplay and worked on / designed Bard's Tale, Dragon Wars and such gems of early computer roleplaying games. So, there's a ton of awesome in this couple.

Not meaning to come across pushy, but: Is there any news on this? My group is ready and itching to go, and I'm waiting to throw my money at you ;) Just as a point of interest, is there an expected rate at which you plan to release the modules? Just so I can try to kinda of roughly pace my...

I'm a big fan of "making the numbers come to life" as a basis for RP. Thus, no class is inherently more or less "combat focused" than any other. You get what you build. Want a not-too-much combat focused bard (or rogue, cleric, sorcerer...)? Then build one and describe and play them...

I write it down in a piece of my notebook paper. Then I just call out who's turn it is and expect my players to start learning the current fight's order and adapt to it. What a fool I am - it never works out that way.

I feel lonely being the only 'by the book' vote...
