That is a great idea. Especially if the orchestra pit is full of real musicians the illusionist has kidnapped & forced to play. Hostages in danger gives the PCs something heroic to do mid-battle. Oh, and Simulacrum. Gotta have the villain use it dramatically.

They were eaten by a grue. Try the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20160430052546/http://www.enworld.org/forum/5ebackgrounds/browsecategory.php?c=1

When the rust monster eats your archive, look to the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20160430052546/http://www.enworld.org/forum/5ebackgrounds/browsecategory.php?c=1

Did not know that part. I mainly like the name, as it sounds like the kind of magical record keeper who tries to have illusionists shot on sight.

An excellent suggestion. Take a look at the real world post of the Queen's Remembrancer: http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/london-is-still-paying-rent-to-the-queen-on-a-property-leased-in-1211 Then imagine how that job would look in a kingdom that dealt with wizards and dragons on a regular...

1. Secret doors should hide shortcuts & bonus treasure, not plot-vital stuff. If the party finds it, great. If not, no harm done. 2. Remember to apply passive perception. "There is an odd draft near the east wall...", etc. 3. "My crew always sets off the first trap." That's a feature, not a bug.

I don't use a screen. It makes it easier to see the table & player's rolls. The only thing I have to do differently is write down the damage enemies take instead of hit point totals (counting damage up from zero). That eliminates any temptation to meta-game how close the bad guys are to dead.

Do those Druids have any enemies who can crash the party? Shunned dark side Druids infiltrating to wreak havoc? Overly enthusiastic gnome inventors looking to show off their wares! Deranged vegetarian protestors?!?

I added a recurring town crier who did each session's 'Previously...' recap & could be hired to spy or spread rumors. Doing the recaps in character let me show how the party's actions were (mis)interpreted by the populace. Having a character they knew & trusted also helped put the adventure...

To clarify the Scout's Sudden Strike: Is it using sneak attack twice on your turn, just not on the same target?

Feather Flail 2nd Level Cleric & Druid Spell Target a flying or falling creature within 120 ft. If the target fails a constitution save, it is stunned and begins spinning uncontrollably, dropping as if affected by Feather Fall. A creature may repeat the save at the end of its turn, ending the...

Isn't that what all the 5E Expeditions seasons are?

Just give them a proper super villain entrance. Perhaps those cult devastation orbs can summon apocalyptic entities?

Derro are mentally identical to unsupervised children. They are outgoing, ask lots of questions, and cooperative with any charismatic outsider. Left unsupervised, they will eat, break, or burn down everything in sight. If you work with kids, just copy the random insanity they come up with. I've...

That's disturbing. Is this likely to happen again?

Apparently he sacrificed his background feature & skills for more magic items...

The cleric at my table calls Thaumaturgy 'DJ Mode' when he wants to enhance a Charisma check with amplified voice, drum beats, and the ground shaking in time with the beat.

The No Foolish Matter Expedition (DDEX 3-6) had a Halfling and his husband as a couple of minor NPC farmer characters.

I was only able to download through the links posted at http://dndadventurersleague.org

D&D magic feels too consistent. Magic should be unpredictable, and only wild magic surges have anything less than textbook precision.
