The only change from the 2024 rules I’d like to see them implement is having healing potions be a bonus action. The rest I could take or leave.

Another vote for Amber. It has the intrigue of Game of Thrones, but better with the plane hopping, elements, and demons. Sign me up.

These are two great resources for an Menzo campaign. I once ran one with the major drow houses setting up a very temporary alliance to combat an external threat - an army of demons led by a group of very powerful driders looking to destroy the city and its inhabitants - and found these...

Just as Jack began preparing for the Chief's onslaught, Bible sprang into view and stabbed at the giant over, and over, and over... again! Hell hath no fury...thought Jack as he strode gingerly around the gore that was once the Chief. Nodding at Bible, he then muttered "Right, let's finish...

Can I get some Doo Wa Ditty?

I’ve been wishing for this since before Casino Royal (Daniel Craig, not Peter Sellers et al.) came out.

Final countdown starting soon: Terror from the Underdeep: A Giant Box of 5E Adventure

Here’s some worlds I would think about creating: 1. Dungeon World. All civilizations are underground because the surface was made inhospitable due to a cataclysm. Like an underdark campaign but inside out. Brave adventures explore the surface world and battle horrid monstrosities that are...

I agree with your assessment Merric. If they want to go the "one roll" route, then just make a Con save to begin with. You can easily imagine that if you are engaged in melee, you're going to be exposed to a bunch of tentacles and their poison. As a DM, I can narrate that well enough, even...

And there's call for an errata to fix out there too: https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/errata-carrion-crawler

Fore refence, here's the 2014 version of it's actions: Multiattack. The carrion crawler makes two attacks: one with its tentacles and one with its bite. Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) poison damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13...

I see. Yeah, that's pretty bad then. I'd run it as Dex save to initlially avoid, then Con saves to end the condition if the initial Dex save failed. Or maybe the challenge rating just needs to be amped up a tad...

I haven't seen the full stat block. I assume the tentacles need to hit to trigger this affect? Or is this the main attack? If the later, I see why they went with the Dex save for triggering the initial condition, but subsequent saves really should be Con to resist the poison. Weird.

Yes, but my point is to have both. The roles are just that - roles only, with no other flavor.

I had the same thought. You get to the "Creating a Creature" section of the DMG and it starts with: Use the approaches and examples in the following sections to build custom creatures for your game. "Oh boy, let's dig in!" 2 pages on how to modify stat blocks and add traits later...
