    Legacy of the Crystal Shard

    4 out of 5 rating for Legacy of the Crystal Shard Like its predecessor, Murder in Baldur's Gate, LotCS is a setting book and maps with an adventure thrown in. The setting and background materials are great, certainly worth the price. The adventure (which requires you track down an online PDF...

    Murder in Baldur’s Gate

    4 out of 5 rating for Murder in Baldur’s Gate First off, don't pay $35 for this. Amazon has it for much less. Second, be sure to track down the two online-only PDF supplements on the WoTC website (one with monster stats, one with extra material for the adventure). Third, this is really two...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feat to negate disadvantage in casting spells at close range?

    No, not that I know of. You either roll with the disadvantage or move away from the enemy & eat the Attack of Opportunity.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Nine Hells in your game

    I steal heavily from the In Nomine RPG for their demons, because they make much a better Demonic Hierarchy. Princes like Saminga, Haagenti, and Kobal running the Nine Hells is both entertaining and genuinely scary. http://innomine.wikia.com/wiki/Demon_Prince

    D&D 5E (2014) The Rogueish Shenanigans!

    Easy there, tiger. Don't assume it is personal. I'm the DM in my group, not a monk player. The reason I consider it unbalanced is that a monk's weapons and AC pretty much require them to be a hit and run unit, where a rogue can rely on stealth & flanking in combat. The free Hide/Disengage/Dash...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Rogueish Shenanigans!

    That's my biggest gripe about rogues. Cunning Action cheapens the monk as a speed-based melee class if anyone with two levels of rogue is always faster & more mobile.

    D&D 5E (2014) Revenge of the Cultists - DM Help

    From the crypts. You could say the black ice is animating the buried dead, and there could be hundreds of Dwarves buried in the area.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Slow Birth of an Ad Hoc Setting

    I like the built-in, Pacific Rim style epic quest to save the world. You have to brave the depths, fight off the horrid monsters, and set off the oblivion portal spell to stop the Apocalypse Flood. Operation Drain Plug?

    D&D 5E (2014) My group is questioning everyone.

    My group tries to interrogate folks a lot. I say 'tries' because the wizard thinks Shocking Grasp makes a good interrogation tool.

    D&D 5E (2014) Easter Eggs in 5E

    It's 93. Speaking of the trinket table, I'm pretty sure item 34 is a 9-volt battery.

    D&D 5E (2014) Easter Eggs in 5E

    PHB, page 104, Wild Magic Surge table. Roll a 42 and you turn into a potted plant, straight out of The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    D&D 5E (2014) ideas for an attack on an airship / making the next adventure fun

    They're only CR 2 or so, but I've had great fun with a flock of perytons that try to carry off any gnomes or halflings as meals to go.
