I, too, have gotten a lot of inspiration from Scrivener. My 5e home brew is using Neverwinter area as it's base. My party is going to be travelling to Leilon soon to recover a gnomish artifact stashed away in the abandoned (allegedly) High Tower of Thalivar. Although I did not run a Realms game...

Yea, you know you've got them when they say that!

Buzz, do you think there will be any interest in a D&D 5th Edition adventure? If so, I can run either an Adventurer's League session or something homebrewed.

Or better yet Jaracove, use the actual encounter building guidelines in the DMG. CR's can be deceptive and are not they way to build an encounter. Use the XP budgeting guidelines (with the multipliers) that are suggested in the rules.

That's silly, very silly. Does anyone really try to pull this stunt at your table?

Yes, with a grappler feat. Also, some monsters have special grapple attacks that impose the restrained condition.

The only negative one has by being grabbed is that your speed is zero. So: 1) Normal 2) Normal 3) N/A

I started playing in the late 70s in the Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin (near TSR) area. Every single campaign, convention game, etc focused on combat. Yes, there was exploration and other things, but most of the time spent at gaming tables (including the ones DMed by Gary and other TSR...

Now that I am thinking about it, I've rarely seen concentration broken by failed Con saves in our games. More frequently it is broken when another concentration spell is cast.

+3 weapon is legendary. In fact, you can destroy artifacts with it. I wouldn't worry to much about parties having +3 weapons and ammo unless the DM is an idiot. (or the party is epic levels).

The party for which I ran LMoP also died in the last room.

What? You obviously have never played "old school" D&D. Unless the DM allowed them to get a "backstab" in and they were high level, they were basically weak sauce in combat.

Neb, you realize that each square on the Thundertree map represents 10', not 5'? You printed out the map to small.

Riley, The DMG addresses the "darkness issue" and clearly states that someone in the dark can see a light source from miles away. So no, you will not get the scenario you described above via RAW.

In reading the two disease entries that are included in this preview, perhaps our judgement on the spell Contagion is too harsh. The complaints about that spell is whether one of the diseases one can use would easily bypass a Legendary Creature's auto-save feature. The argument assumes that as...

Can someone point me to the specific page number that indicates a PC can only communicate during their own turn?

Ilbran, so if a PC in your game rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll they suffer an opportunity attack? What a horrible rule. High level fighters with 4+ attacks per round (double with action surge) will be getting negative consequences less than every 30 seconds in combat, on average.

Most aren't. Most don't have a jacked up wisdom either. They usually take expertise in one skill and thieves tools. Again, just feels like a "default" rogue should be better at finding traps without having to give up other options.

I like pretty much everything about 5E. The one thing that irks me, however, is how most Rogues are not the "go to" guy in the party to find traps. I want to find a house rule to change this to a more intuitive result; that being a trap disarming rogue/criminal should not have to rely on a...

I didn't run those adventures. Are they still available to download?
