It actually says 5e in the post and Princes of the Apocalypse is a 5e published adventure - however I have added clarification.

Hi, I hope I'm not breaking the law by posting here for a game that is being run on a different site, but I think there is a more active specifically 5e community here.... I need one or two more players for a continuing DnD 5e Princes of the Apocalypse campaign over on www.rpol.net, fast paced...

Hi, [edit] sorry if this should be a post in the stickied thread instead...can't seem to delete/move it. I'll repost so Mods - please delete this

My issues with it as soon as I read it the first time are outlined below. The Tomb of Moving Stones layout changes. Still make no sense. If the sinkhole is in 'the middle of Red Larch' and we use the map as is, then the moving stones room is 300 feet east, way further than Waelvur's. Much...

The errata is pretty bad anyway. It's like 'we rushed those bits and got a few things wrong, let's knock out some equally ill-thought out and unjustified errata rather than taking the time to correct things properly'.

Well maybe nobody should bother with these threads in future - just cut out the middle men and get the result from you, Colorblind, huh? :)

I think the player certainly made a risky call to walk on in there. The only thing perhaps you could have done different was to have the goblins overpower the monk and prepare to sacrifice/cook/ransom her later - giving the other 5 PCs a chance to launch a surprise assault or come up with some...

Princes of the Apocalypse 7 Tomb of Annihilation 8

Out of the Abyss 7 Princes of the Apocalypse 7 Tales from the Yawning Portal 3 Tomb of Annihilation 12

Out of the Abyss 8 Princes of the Apocalypse 9 Rise of Tiamat 6 Tales from the Yawning Portal 10 Tomb of Annihilation 17 To counter the people that only like the latest shiny thing.

Out of the Abyss 9 Princes of the Apocalypse 14 - great detailed starting town and early intro adventures. Rise of Tiamat 12 Storm King's Thunder 4 Tales from the Yawning Portal 12 Tomb of Annihilation 14 - You call that a city? Same number of taverns as the tiny town in PotA and with less...

To me, there is a logical reason to do it with the statistic large (i.e. as the primary attention-grabbing item) and the modifier small (i.e. as the secondary item). That reason is the human brain's capacity to learn and remember things. If I say to you my Strength is 14, who doesn't know that...

Curse of Strahd 8 Out of the Abyss 12 Princes of the Apocalypse 19 - underrated. My group really enjoyed this. Needs prep work, like all of them. Rise of Tiamat 17 Storm King's Thunder 9 Tales from the Yawning Portal 25 - not an AP! It's a series of adventures that might be played in sequence...

The thread title and the poll questions don't marry up exactly. D&D is certainly not just Tolkien. Vance, Leiber et al heavily influenced. However there would definitely in my opinion, be no D&D without Tolkien, therefore the last answer is the only possible response. There may well have been...

To answer the OP - no, no problems here. You must be spoilt for choice over in the States if players can afford to pick and choose their DM. My guys are lumbered with me, since no-one else can be bothered, and hence - no feats, dragonborn, aasimar, tieflings, genasi etc.

In order to simulate this I would give the enemies disadvantage on the stealth checks, or boost passive perception +5 (equivalent to advantage) for the PCs. If the enemies still 'win', then the PCs are surprised despite their foresight.

When my guys (well, one character actually, who got taken aside) were invited to join, they had to prove their worth by flinging an innocent victim from the rooftop. Larmon Greenboot the shepherd, in this case. Of course, they didn't accept - cue TPCapture and rooftop rescue by Aarakocra as the...

Mastermind from SCAG will surely be in? As well as Swashbuckler.

Characters whose backgrounds do not involve sailing, fishing, or some coastal or river habitation shouldn't be able to swim, full stop!

We use the Critical Fail card deck from Nord Games. I recommend it. Fails are divided into categories and severities, and you take out the higher severity ones until the party reaches a certain level. Also, there are some blank cards to write your own ones on, but I leave them shuffled in the...
