    Sword Coast Legends

    That's very interesting, I wonder how the campaign mode will work. Personaly I want an engaging and super interesting story like in BG1 and BG2, while I appriciate the charm in "running" an adventure for my friends (ala NWN) when it comes to computer games, I'm more of a single player kind of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Legends & Lore - A Retrospective

    I'm not sure if it's a matter of under performance, going with essential was a change in tactics, going with 5e was a huge strategic change. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Item Inconsistencies

    The potion is very rare because it's more practical to make the corresponding permanat item rather than take the time to make the potion, mystary solved! Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM let Player Die, now what?

    Haven't read the entire thread but from the OP it seems like the player is a big baby, it isn't your job to make sure the characters remain alive, it's your job to weave a good story and a believable world it's the players job to explore it and survive. Another thing, as a DM you need to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Per Ed Greenwood, Halruaa survived the Spellplague

    Whooooo, nice! I can see steering my players to toward it, thinking that they are going to loot a fallen empire and run smack into the surviving Halruaan. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    It isn't and it wouldn't, it's people trying to find faults anywhere they can I guess. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Analysis of "Typical" Magic Item Distribution

    On a related note, does anyone know how much I need to roll to determine treasure? Is there a guideline somewhere? For example, I got a mini dungeon for 1st level group (a prison break scenario) where the main enemies are goblins and a bugbear, and the lair/prison is a small laboratory of a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    H Paizo is a good example, they are lauded for thier AP and adventures but personally I have yet to see a paizo adventure that I thought to be good, I bought a bunch and my general reaction was meh... different taste I guess. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    I think that the railroad is the fact that there is a part where the DM can have the dragon attack the keep while the characters are inside and if the characters do enough damage (25 hp) it flies away. And the players aren't forced to engage it, they can choose to not engage it and the mayor...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    No it doesn't, the episode clearly state that if the characters don't enter the town than the cult forces pillage and burn to thier heart content and leave at dawn. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    IMHO, that's a problem of players expectation verses adventure expectations, if your players don't know what they are going to be playing while building thier characters, or have no wish to buy into the adventure premise (i.e thwarting the cult plans) than you have a problem on your hands. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's underwhelming releases

    I hear bunch of folks saying that HotDQ a is a bad adventure and I don't get it. I have a wee bit of experience, both with home brew adventures and with published adventures (about 20 years) and I think that it's a solid adventure for experienced DMs. It's not noob friendly but than again we...
