    D&D 5E (2014) Check Out Some (Minor) Monster Reveals From Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants!

    Wonder if my party will talk to the giant lynx, bearing in mind that the last monster they talked to ate half the party?

    WFRP 4e The Enemy Within Campaign Book 1: Enemy in Shadows Session #14 Who Can You Trust?

    Love this story. We played out the Odenhaller Contract in Altdorf before heading to Bogenhafen, but I’m really enjoying both the memories and the differences in your campaign. Keep the blunderbuss, fellow Sigmarites; it will save your lives!

    Dragon Reflections #65

    Thank you @M.T. Black for these articles. They are well-written, evocative and nostalgic. Like @MNblockhead , I always get a boost when I see a new one drop into the messageboard.

    D&D General What is your favorite class(es), and what about makes them so fun?

    The Illusionist (as far as I can remember, and I'm talking over 40 years ago...) had its own spell list, albeit with overlap from wizards, and the spells literally allowed you to change reality to suit your aims. They were almost unlimited in scope and allowed for immense creativity. Things like...

    D&D General What is your favorite class(es), and what about makes them so fun?

    Ah, 1E illusionists! Now there’s a welcome dose of nostalgia. They were awesome to play but also made terrifying villains for a DM.

    Level Up (A5E) Scarlet Citadel for A5E

    They were level 3 during level 2 of the dungeon, and they’ve just risen to level 4. They haven’t seen any action yet on the lower dungeon level, as we finished with them descending the stairs. The party comprises a paladin, an artificer, a bard and a fighter. All the players are very...

    D&D General What is your favorite class(es), and what about makes them so fun?

    Always far more into story/roleplay than managing resources, so I tend to opt for fighter, rogue and ranger more than any other class. I do quite like the 5e bard though, and played one in Curse of Strahd.

    Level Up (A5E) Scarlet Citadel for A5E

    That second level is tough! My lot got hit by the trap at the base of the stairs, battled through the hybrid ooze and negotiated a retreat with the alchemist, before getting ambushed by zombies ( spawned from the pit on level 1) on the way out, exhausted. On return they killed the alchemist...

    D&D General Thoughts on running Rappan Athuk (and deadly megadungeons in general) [SPOILERS]

    There’s something special about RA. Something that makes you feel like you are in the dark. And that the darkness is closing in on you. And within that darkness, something waits. Something hungry. Something evil. Not felt like that since my earliest days of gaming.

    D&D 5E (2024) Looking for VTT (Foundry or Roll20) campaigns for my next (5e) campaign

    Yes, I replaced the Caves of Chaos with RA. The Keep just made an effective home base, a storyline source and a “home to save” from the evil leaking out of RA. I think Zelkor’s Ferry is from the later 5e version. RA, for me, is the gold standard of mega-dungeons, though I’m currently running...

    D&D 5E (2024) Looking for VTT (Foundry or Roll20) campaigns for my next (5e) campaign

    I ran it back in 3.5 days and loved it. I've never played it as a player but that's definitely on my bucket list for one day. My key aims were to build a narrative around the dungeon so the players had buy-in beyond just treasure and adventure. To achieve this I transplanted the Keep on the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bragging on my players

    We had a similar situation in Odyssey of the Dragonlords and it highlighted the different ideas of player-fun that we have in our game group. Three of the four player characters had go a bit too powerful for campaign-enjoyment. Encounters were getting too easy. Nobody’s fault really, just a...
