    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5E: Ranking every published adventure, using Amazon reviews

    Our Rise of Tiamat part of the campaign was amazing and ended epically. I learned a lot from running HoTDQ so poorly.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5E: Ranking every published adventure, using Amazon reviews

    Hard for me to take adventure reviews too seriously. Each experience is so unique that one groups run through an adventure has no bearing on another’s. Also I don’t believe many DMs(particularly the forum going, review writing crowd) have a healthy sense of self reflection. “I didn’t mess that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Removing the HP Bloat

    This was my experience with Strahd. Some sessions they’d cover TONS of ground. Others they’d cover little but have 1-2 major encounters. The final battle with Strahd(from the dining room to his ultimate demise) took 6 1/2 hours(split between 3 session) and was basically 3 separate battle with...

    I’d advise him to be very selective in his choice of fellow gamers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans Only

    Like… totally. Depending on the setting you might want to open up the racial ability bonuses to people to illustrate a natural bent towards one stat or another. But yeah… I’m in.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do You Tinker with Adventures to Make Them "Winnable"?

    I have a philosophy that helps with these moments. Play with the rules, don’t play by the rules.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    You’ve had bad DMs. I don’t know what to say. My players do things that are off their sheets all the time. Sometimes at disadvantage or advantage(and man, disadvantage isn’t all that bad and is often mitigated by a variety of things). If you don’t take actions your character might take...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    Well yeah… I guess I’m just good about people doing things that aren’t on their sheets. A lot times when I see someone poring over their sheet for something to do I ask “What are you looking to accomplish?” To which a poster above might say “We’ll I want to use the table to force the 3...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    It really isn’t. I feel bad if you’ve been in a game run that way. Edit: I mean… No more so than any other game. I don’t understand the question maybe. “Can I do x?” Or “I do x” Is something asked/said in many games.
