Ouch... That's what I was afraid of. This is WAY worse than when they attacked the cultists wagons before the caravan started heading north. I guess I need to read up on the Well. I wonder if the castle would return for more treasure. They have to have other ways treasure flows into Parnath...

Playing Tyranny of Dragons, Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Near the end. Now, this is only for DMs that have run this game before. Spoiler Alert You've been warned. Seriously. If you want to be ignorant this is your last chance. Talking in 5 4 3 2 1 Ok. My players...

You all win, I lose. Game over.

Why not look act actual Polytheisms and their encounters with other Polytheisms as a basis for the understanding of the way people interact with their gods and why? There is an HBO series called, if I recall, Rome. It follows the misadventures of an officer and an enlisted man from the Roman...

The Rogue Arcane Trickster has their defined "god" as agnostic. Now THAT takes faith!

Best solution for dealing with a pet bird. 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms 1 small onion, sliced 4 tablespoons butter, divided 1 pound boneless owl breasts 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 to 1/2 cup whole milk 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, toasted Directions In a large skillet, saute mushrooms...

It has less to do with expansion of flock and more to do with expansion of awareness of the power of a specific deity. People in such situations have a set of household gods they worship and offer sacrifices to. Clerics and Paladins seek to get their gods included in those lists of household...

I steal from Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Role Playing System. I make them "minions" in groups of 5 to 10 depending on the challenge you need. Each group gets one roll to hit with a +1 per extra creature in the group above one. For every two or three they beat the AC of the PC by they get an...

I like to see anyone playing a Cleric or Paladin play something of a religious fanatic. Someone whose devotion to a particular god or set of gods is greater than the average person. Someone who has had some kind of experience in their life that made them BELIEVE hard in a god. I like to see...

We don't have a Cleric... Or a Druid... Or a Bard... We've got a Ranger and a Paladin for "healers" and a Monk who has proficiency with a Herbalist kit. So potions are VERY popular.

I found a map for an adventure that had north pointing at a 30 degree angle across the map... I have to admit it was annoying.

I tell my players that I target pets. I don't like them. I had one kid un a game capture a wild boar. HE couldn't take it with him and the stables wouldn't keep him. They recommended the butcher, the player didn't even think about it, offhe went to the butcher to "take care of the boar"... Then...

Not to add another lash to this dead horse but does it really matter which way is north on every single map? I can't think of the last time a PC said "which way is north". Mostly they ask about how evil and powerful do the monsters look. The shadows don't generally matter.

Hmm... Noticed by the media. To my mind that's a bad thing. I'd rather remain under their radar. Mind you I was playing AD&D in the 80's when that media attention led to my friend burning all of his AD&D books because his parents went all crazy on him. The only reason my books weren't taken...

I am fully willing to admit I am missing something. I got drafted into running 5e Adventurer League at the gaming store I frequent. I learned most of the rules from the players who knew the system WAY better than me. I GM GUPRS and have for going on 20 years. I haven't played D&D since 3.5, and...

I'm not quite sure but another person who has played 5e for a while has a ranger that does the same thing. Hunters Mark... That might be it.

Very nice. I got two of those dry erase boards. Glued them to plywood to keep everything mostly flat and lined them with the kind of thin strip tape used to divide those boards up. Now I have 4 foot by 6 foot 1 inch square board I can draw on. Now I use sticky magnets on the base of the...

Squishy Pet must die... Squishy Pet tasty. Tasty like chicken... Yum, chicken....

I'm now working up what they must do to save the Mere from those dragons, the dracolich and the real lich that lives there. Then kill all those Shambling Mounds that are gumming up the waterways by filter feeding. Then it can start to drain correctly and they will be able to go into real estate...

Hmm... This is where you want to use ten sided dice to roll each digit in the amount of coins. Instead of 3d6X100 do d3,d10,d10. All the better to make math more annoying! I'd say carrying the merchants scale is the fast way. Carry pouches of relatively similar size, sweep in handfuls of the...
