Hi, My players will encounter a silver dragon and they need s.th. from him (Knowledge, an Item, ...). But before he helps them, they must prove themself worthy, i.e. they must pass a test of lawfulness. I'm not sure wether or not they know if they are tested. My problem is: I have no idea how...

AMA with the Guvnor. Nice. :) What is your favorite character concept you've ever played and why?

Hi, I loved DMing Tyranny of Dragons :) And here is a question considering pre-written adventures in general: As a game designer you design adventures which are intended to be played by other people. Do you have any advise on how to make running a pre-written adventure/campaign more "easy"...

Hi, as I'm actually reading through the recently released Princes of the Apocalypse Adventure Path there is one thing which gives me headache: Level Progression. I really like the idea, that the player's are free in their choice what to do and in which order, but it seems that the dungeons are...

Ok, do some of you have a page number or so for the statement, that all damage is applied at once?

Hi, I'm not sure what is the correct interpretation of the Bite Attack of the Giant Spider. The Target gets piercing Damage and the target makes a saving throw. Ok. Thats ok... But what happens if the Target is reduced to 0 hp as a consequence of the piercing damage? Are piercing and poison...

Thanks to all of you! You helped me very much! :) I will buy the 3e Campaign Setting Book as a start and then expand it on the needs of my group later on. best regards

Hi, one of my gaming groups is now switching to 5e and we decided to play in the Forgotten Realms (Faerun of Course) but not around the sword coast. Now I've asked myself which region should I choose? I'm relatively new to the Forgotten Realms, so maybe you can recommend some regions? And...

The second point, I do not expect as much books as in PF. But it's more the psychological point, as I'm a completionist, too. For Ideas definitely the DMG or the MM. I think the DMG is absolutely gorgeous and contains many ideas, but in my opinion the MM is even better for idea mining. For the...

Normally, such discussions are not my favorite time-spending hobby, but actually I think 5e is the best system I've ever played, so I decided to give it a try and help you. First of all: 5e books are more expensive than PF Books, BUT way more complete. Of course, you could play Pathfinder with...

Yeah. Lost Mines is awesome! I'm Almost done with it and One of my groups :) Just to specify: What i'm searching for dont have to be written for d&d 5e. i'm just searching for Description, Dungeons and ideas. just Story and so on. i will adjust the encounters for use in d&d5.

Hi, I'm running two D&D 5e campaigns and have a lot of ideas for plots and so on. But I've found out that I'm not that good at detail work. I know there are many published adventures, campaigns and so on. But most campaigns are not generic enough to just put them into my ongoing campaing. Also...

Hi, I haven't found any Rules for Crafting Scrolls of Brewing Potions. Of Course, they are specified as magic items and for scrolls the Rules for crafting Magic Items could apply, but what about potions? The Player's Handbook mentions in the description of the Herbalism Kit "creating potions of...

Hey. Thanks again for all of your input! :) Now, as I find Freeport still really nice and I love the swashbuckling style of game, I'm thinking about using Neverwinter instead of Freeport. I've found out that there is the "Neverwinter Campaign Setting" Book from 4th Edition. I've taken a look...

Wow! Thanks for all the input! :-) It helped me a lot! Indeed, Ptolus looks amazing, but on the other hand it looks to much for me. I'm a little bit overwhelmed by this massive city! I will definitely pit Ptolus on my RPG-List, but for the moment I will go with Freeport. As I am not new to...

Yeah, i also think so. I like Cthulhu, but I'm not sure for some of my players. So it depends on how much Mythos is in there? I thought it is mainly about pirates.

Hi, I wanna start a urban "campaign" after my Players finish Lost Mine of Phandelver. Now I'm searching for an urban setting where I can put my ideas into. It is important to me that this is not a full fleshed out campaign, but instead a setting with many plot hooks, a good description of...

Hi, at the moment we are finishing the Tyranny of Dragons campaing. As we definitely want to play a new campaign, I'm searching for the next thing. First, in the 5e Release Schedule there is "Princes of Apocalypse", which is scheduled for mid/end of March. Sadly, there is no further...

Hi, I'm a GM and I've decided to use my Notebook at the gaming Table. I am doing this now for a few years and it always went nice, but now I want to play D&D 5e. The last game I've played was 13th Age and I'm used to have all Monsters as PDF. So I can just copy paste them to scrivener (which is...

Hi, at the moment i'm preparing the "Rise of the Drow" Campaign for my group. But we want to play it with D&D 5e. So I need to convert the Campaign from D&D 3.5 or Pathfinder (Stats for both Systems are given in the Campaign) to 5e. My questions are: 1) There are so many conversion guidelines...
