    D&D 5E (2014) Starting first 5e D&D game - need some help about amount of sessions for campaign

    My players have just made 5th level, and are loving how much more powerful they feel with multi-attacks. Don't need to get to 20th level to enjoy the improvement in your character.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    They headed back to Red Larch for beer and adoration! Thorg the dwarf picked up some better armour and they were handily awarded a scroll of two Knock spells for saving Dellmon Ranch. On to Sacred Stone Monastery. (Arrival time, late afternoon) Not surprisingly, they scouted around the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting first 5e D&D game - need some help about amount of sessions for campaign

    Try something like Princes of the Apocalypse that suggests an event based levelling system. It goes up to about 12 level and there is tons to do, so I doubt your players will get bored with it. I'm running it right now and the pacing feels good. I'm chucking out clues fairly liberally to keep...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    We finished at Dellmon Ranch last night. The orcs sent another 23 out in four groups. Again, the party and defenders used their ranged attacks with good effect. Even with disadvantage, if you keep firing out arrows you will hit eventually... The raiding party got badly beaten and around 7 or 8...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    The party headed up to Dellmon Ranch to help out the farmsteaders. We had the first attack by the orcs - 4 groups of five ran out. The range of the bows meant that the defenders got a load of shots off and took down a couple of orcs quite easily. A volley of 5 javelins certainly has an effect...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Thanks for the tip. I might let then find some notes somewhere about the closing of the nodes. Or let someone have a dream/vision... I am trying out event-based levelling. So they level up for clearing the cult keeps. It's working so far. They won't level up for doing the Iceshield Orcs quest...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    So, we finally managed to meet and have another session. The party, despite not really being into genocide, felt they needed to clear out the rest of the tower. They headed downstairs to the ground floor and went into the kitchen. Conversation with the initiates was short and resulted in the...

    Feathergale Society Initiation.. They went up to the pinnacle after breakfast to be greeted by Thurl, a Howling Hatred Priest and 4 knights. Thurl gave a speech about how exciting it was for the Society to be expanding and that tribute must be paid to Yan C Bin. Three Initiates then appeared...

    D&D 5E (2014) Long Rest while trapped in an alert Dungeon

    I think it partly depends on how much effort the party take to hide away, disguise their location and keep watch. And how do you want the 'story' to pan out?? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Adjusting Wildshape

    I forgot about the limitation of what they've seen. The druid in my game goes for bear. The player wants to try tiger or lion, but I'm pretty sure that the character won't have seen one. Dire wolf is more likely. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using EN World mobile app

    Also, I want them to go back to Red Larch and speak to their faction contacts. I want to seed them with more info - about Knights of Samular and the legend of Renwick Caradoon - about the Iceshield Orcs threatening homesteads - to give them general faction orders to further investigate the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Last night's session: The did the manticore hunt. We had a bit of a discussion about whether it is the PC who attacks, the hippogriff or both. A player read out the mounted combat rules and I decided that the hippogriff just does the flying and the PC have to attack, ranged or otherwise. They...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Yeah, like it!! I might well nick that idea. If they refuse the offer, which I expect, I'll just have Merroska look crestfallen, but he'll still politely offer them a room for the night.
