    D&D General Why did you have to cancel/reschedule your most recent session?

    I voted one or players were sick. To be honest, I didn't' know why they couldn't make it and I never ask. The reason is really not important to me. To be clear, I do care about their well being and I assume they're ok. It's just that if you can't make, then you can't make it. No big deal. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls 5E 2014 Monster Mods?

    I posted this query in a thread that is buried under hundreds of other posts. I'm creating this new thread in hopes of getting a response. In several recent interviews, possibly more, Mr Mearls stated that he had a simple fix for monster stat blocks in 5e 2014 that makes combat more exciting...

    D&D General Mike Mearls sits down with Ben from Questing Beast

    Mike Mearls states that he modifies 5e Monster stat blocks by reducing Hit Points and increasing Damage. Does he give a formula for these modifications? e.g. half the hit points but double the damage. I don't think he says in the video; I'm thinking a blog or reddit post.

    It's GM's Day! Tell us about your first GM!

    i've told this story before My first DM was my brother, and I played Dweeny the Dwarf. We were using the Red Box (BECMI), and he ran Castle Mistamere. I remember dying on the first encounter with the carrion crawler that was hiding underneath the fallen door outside of the castle walls. My...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    Getting to the Church on Time The Long Rest The Gang laid out their sleeping rolls in various rooms of the dilapidated mansion and finally got some rest, though it was twice interrupted. The first time was at midnight when a procession of eerie green lights was spotted coming through the gaps...

    GMs: Where and When Do You Run Games

    We usually play at a house. Sometimes we can't play at a home, so we play at our FLGS: Heretic Games 442 San Mateo Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, which is the next best thing.

    D&D General Favorite Less Used Low CR Creatures?

    This is not found in official MM, but I like the Thoul. A good BBEG for 1st/2nd level.

    D&D 5E (2014) For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

    There's been no talk of 2024 at our table. I'm not even sure the other players are aware it exists. I doubt we'll make the switch. I have a minor concern that the new adventures will work with the 5e 2014 game. My guess is that it wouldn't be problem.

    GMs: How Much Do You Curate Your Adventures To Your Specific PCs, Mechanically Speaking

    [note: I've only ran various editions of D&D games and DCC games] When I run a game, I let the players know what kind of adventure(s) that I plan to use, and I run the adventure as planned regardless of the Characters created. The adventures that I have always picked assumes that the party is...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    Character Vs Character/Betrayal I should’ve addressed this in session 0, especially with Curse of Strahd since one of Strahd’s tactics is to turn the party against themselves. But I haven’t done that, so I’ll be addressing this next session. This is just me writing down my thoughts. Nothing is...

    @TaranTheWanderer I just looked that up. Yeah, something offensive always follows 'you people...'
