    Defiance in Phlan

    3 out of 5 rating for Defiance in Phlan This module was released at the same time as the 5e PHB. It is an introduction to the 5e system and is appropriate for new players or people learning the 5e rules. The Good: The short format of each episode makes this easy to fit into many people's...

    D&D 5E (2014) CR 13 dragon beaten by level 7 party observations

    This sounds like an awesome fight and thanks for the report! Lucky that dragon didn't have Spider Climb.

    D&D 5E (2014) Drawmij's Instant Summons: Am I Missing Something?

    I've seen this used on powerful story elements-such as a demon's control amulet. Or other kinds of MacGuffin control. Drawmij's Instant MacGuffin Summons

    D&D 5E (2014) What Campaign Setting(s) Do You Want To See in 5E?

    I am going to say I would like to see: Ravnica? Innistrad? or one of the Magic worlds/settings Talislanta

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons DMs Screen Pictures

    This screen seems like a nice "Thank You" gift to give to whatever kind GM runs this mod for your group. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Can my table focus on making things fun instead of optimizing?

    I agree with Mistwell, just start the campaign without the PHB chapter 6 optional rules. Its 8 pages that produce something like 80% of the D&D questions out there. You can slowly add it in, allow them all at once, or just play one campaign without them as you see fit. Players are still...

    D&D 5E (2014) Initiative and Delay

    Here is an article on DMDavid that gives some insight into this: http://dmdavid.com/tag/exploring-three-corners-of-the-new-dd-rules/ As for why no delay in the first round, it was probably removed to streamline the game. They remove the exceptions and special cases to get rid of the "except"...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's break the Ring of Spell Storing

    You could store a Conjure Woodland Beings in the ring and use it to summon 8 CR 1/4 Pixies. The pixies can cast dispel magic (among other things) so you could essentially dispel magic (or polymorph, entangle, sleep, fly, etc) 16 times per day. Once from a normal cast and once from the 8 pixies...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help Me Develop a 5e Town

    I imagine there would be a secret society, the Bomkf (Binders of the Mad King's Fortress), that would exist in the town to prevent visiting adventurers and the occasional powerful and overly curious mage from poking around the hills and trying to find the sealed fortress.

    D&D 5E (2014) Next DMG Sneak Preview is Up! Figurine of Wondrous Power!

    Hehe we are buying and drooling over stuff we bought 30 years ago. :) These people are geniuses. I also notice no spells/guidelines for creating the items...at least in these entries.

    D&D 5E (2014) How does Conjure Elemental work with higher slots?

    So access to these two so far. The invisible stalker is interesting so I'm glad that line of text is in there. Maybe they wanted to pre-approve summoning elemental creatures that may be in March's Adventurer's Guide (to Elemental Evil).

    D&D 5E (2014) Initiative and Delay

    I don't know. Does it cause conflicts with the concentration mechanic for spell casters? I have not put it back into the game. Not in 5e, but yes in other systems. If the players are unhappy and you are unhappy the house rule seems like a good way to handle this.

    D&D 5E (2014) N00b

    Hmm the older editions pretty much have an answer to lots of problems. From this edition you might consider the concentration mechanic for casters. And possibly advantage/disadvantage with saving throws. If you don't allow retainers or henchman for high-level PCs some of the more basic powers...

    Wouldn't people be trying to capture you and sell you in the Dragon Markets?

    Monster info/database

    That does sound useful if you post it when you are done. I have used the tables at the back of the 1e monster manual 2 for monsters by climate so far with 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    My first copy started falling apart after 3 weeks. Large sections in the spells detached. I was able to return it and get a new copy. The new copy seems fine so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk?

    It is probably something related to the extra life 24-hour game for charity at the end of the month. Perkins is participating in that.
