    Tales From The Yawning Portal - 7 Classic Dungeons Updated To 5E!

    Online retailers have had it listed for awhile. The Yawning Portal is clearly what those retailers have had listed under the name "Labyrinth": https://www.amazon.com/dp/0786966092/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1GQME3PONUYRM&coliid=IE14WUG7GI0NC...

    I'm excited to finally hear what Labyrinth is, and especially excited about what it is. Looking forward to this with great interest!

    Unearthed Arcana Explanation of the encounter building rules in Unearthed Arcana

    I agree, they've worked really well for me, and once you get the basics down, they're pretty easy to use on the fly.

    D&D 5E (2014) First Official Homebrew Campaign Adventure - Need help with ideas!

    You meet Cochise. At first you think he's a terrible guy. You fight, then you get to know him. You come to respect each other, and at the end of the picture... you're friends. Sorry, I read the original post in the voice of Harry Flugelman :D

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM needs help with story

    If you give the players free choice in what they do, as you should, then be ready for them to choose things and go directions you didn't expect them to. And be ready to go with it. For instance, they may have no desire to go back to the magic shop. You can nudge them, but remember the most basic...

    D&D 5E (2014) First Official Homebrew Campaign Adventure - Need help with ideas!

    -Be sure to create an atmosphere. Don't just say, "you enter a room with a table and chair." Say, "you enter a musty room with cobwebs in the corners. The smell of something rotting fills the air. There are eerie carvings on the walls." Don't over do it, but use sights, sounds and smells. -Use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Favourite One-shots Scenarios for DnD

    For one shots, I mostly enjoy a standard underground dungeon crawl, mapping out the dungeon areas and looking for treasure, but with a specific end goal in mind. I typically create my own dungeon for something like this and then stock the areas old school style with monsters and traps, and have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon+ -- any reasonably accessible way to read this?

    I'd definitely buy physical copies. I'd even subscribe if they had the option.

    Have You played In An Official D&D Adventurer's League Event?

    I haven't, but only because the schedule doesn't usually work out for me. Every place that I find games scheduled conflict with other things I have going on.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon+ -- any reasonably accessible way to read this?

    Yeah, I like the mag, but I agree that it's a bit of a pain to read in it's current digital formatting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Found a Use for HotDQ

    The capital letters threw me off, too. I was really having a hard time trying to figure out what OSMe was an acronym for :heh:

    D&D 5E (2014) Amusing dungeon ideas.

    I created one where a wizard was trapped in a cavern and unable to escape. He is trapped inside of a stone statue and can't get out, but is able to cast a spell that creates an image of himself outside of the cavern. He does this and convinces a group of adventurers, who believe the image to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Charm Person failure question

    In addition to what has been said, I would probably also take the target's INT or WIS score into consideration. If it's low, I'd rule that they don't notice anything, but if it's high, I'd either have them do a check to see if they notice.

    Unearthed Arcana What's in YOUR Unearthed Arcana?

    It's a mixed bag for me. I see some stuff that I think is ok, some stuff that I don't mind but that I also don't care about, and a few things that make me go, "that sounds kind of cool." But nothing that made me as much or more excited as options in the core books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why can’t I find anything wrong with 5e?

    I'm with you orderofthings. In the games I run, we stick to RAW as much as we can and don't have problems that I can think of. Other than there being truth to the complaint that hiding rules are too vague and that wisdom/perception/intelligence checks can be a little confusing sometimes...
