Just to clarify, (because people seem to miss this part) if a DM runs a party through every mission in Episode 1, the DM is not running the module "by the book". I ran all but one of the events, but I have a table of 5-6 people in a home campaign where there is only one heavily armored...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you bringing me into this? Thaumaturge.

My players' insistence on roleplaying and having fun detracts from my mediocre DMing. Thaumaturge.

This gives me an idea for a certain blue NPC in HotDQ. My players already hate him. After they defeat him, I'm going to look for a place to put a raised version of him. Thaumaturge.

I'm having to retrain some players on this behavior, too. What works best for me is to say "where are you looking" in response to "I search the room". When the player tells me, I ask more questions to get the players to describe their interaction. I think it'll really click when someone...

I'm running a conversion of Ruins of Undermountain. I'm mostly just swapping out monsters for their 5e versions, and it's going very well. Those modules were a bit more dangerous anyway, so if something is a bit too powerful, the players quickly adapt. For traps and things, I'm just running...

Quite right. I'd only escalate. :devil: What did I do? :angel: :] Thaumaturge:)

Hey, I didn't mention mine were autographed by the design team. Both of them. That should count for something. :lol: Thaumaturge.

I had a player throw a cantrip (vicious mockery) at the dragon. When the dragon failed his save, I told the player to roll damage, and he exclaimed, "really?!". It'll definitely take a while for us to unlearn some old habits and knowledge. Thaumaturge.

That old thing? I have two. :p Glad people are finally getting these in their hands. Thaumaturge.

My guess, based on the things they've said, is that they just got approved for the App Store for next week, so they can announce the web beta will go live next week too. Thaumaturge.

This is one of the first things I noticed about the MM, and it may be my favorite change. I was always confused why demiliches were more powerful liches. Now they aren't. They are liches who stopped feeding souls to their phylacteries and have withered away into shadows of the shadows of their...

Grapple does not grant anyone advantage.

Agreed. I'm pretty good about spotting typos, but none have jumped out at me. I'm sure there will be a few spotted this weekend, though. He gets a few paragraphs in a sidebar that tell his background story and such, but there are no stats for him as a different, better, scarier vampire...

I think you're thinking of the Forsaken. Thaumaturge. edit to remove odd strange double quote. edit to not imply I thought doubles were odd numbers. They're just fine, if you get to know them.

You'll probably want to just skip over the goblin art. Thaumaturge.

Wait. Why would they put that in the Monster Manual? Goblins are ochre. Thaumaturge.

And they got the "striking an unconscious character" rules slightly wrong in the adventure. If you attack an unconscious foe, you deal a crit. If you crit, your target gets 2 death save fails. In the adventure they say 1. I'll probably just do 1 failed save unless the rest of the party is...

Jumbo, fiendish, minotaurs. The text pretty much calls them such. ;) Thaumaturge.

Huge (more than 20' tall). Good at mazes, charging, and multi-attacking. Likes to carry palanquins on the beach. Thaumaturge.
