I have a lot, some parts nostalgia (it's what I was listening to at the time), and some parts "hey, that's a D&D song!". Actually, I actually have a D&D playlist of these songs on my Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5aEdr7YwnICkJGy0i3rUha There could easily be 50 more songs on this...

I just got my copy, but won't be able to get into it until tomorrow. That sounds like a fun campaign! I've been tweaking and working on some stuff to have a five color mana system. I have the bare bones of a "mana caster" class that I've had on the back burner. I was waiting for this book to...

Four years ago I taught my kids to play (at the time my daughter was 14 and my twin boys 9). We don't play together anymore, though. My daughter (who lives with her mother) runs games for her friends, most recently her hacked up version of a Red and Pleasant Land (which I got her for her...

Part 3 is up. Backpack, bag of holding, and chest sheets available as a form fillable pdf. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/2018/11/08/inventory-sheets-part-3/

Hack & Slash blog had a nice write up for a wizard school of shadow that includes some spells and a spell list. http://hackslashmaster.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-5th-edition-shadow-wizard.html

I'm really looking forward to this book! Long time player of both games. This is like getting chocolate in my peanut butter. I've tinkered around with some crossover stuff on my blog... https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/?s=plane+shifted Also have just started a MeWe group on the subject...

I love throwing in new monsters that are just different enough to confound the players. A lot of the APs have this problem. You needed fights to gain the XP to level up to the appropriate level for the next adventure. Milestone leveling solves this problem, as well as making a lot less...

Save yourself some work, do a google search for 5e conversions of the adventure that you are running. Other DMs have done the work, find one that fits your groups style and use their conversions.

I'm excited about this! I've been tinkering around on my blog with mixing D&D with M:TG. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/?s=plane+shifted

I didn't want to delve into the play itself too much, as they are already pretty deep into it, having read it multiple times and "looking forward" to watching five dress rehearsals. We had did character creation via email, with 3rd level characters. I gave them some info on races and classes...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I will be starting at 3rd level. I'll be using a modified character sheet, covering much less info.

Need help / advise on running a one shot. TL;DR: Running a game for four women with no RPG experience at all. Looking for any tips on running and engaging the players. My wife works for the theater department at the University of Pittsburgh. Later this year, they are putting on a production of...

Just wanted to give XP for the Book of Beautiful Horrors. Thanks for that!

I ran a the first half of it before the group fell apart for scheduling reasons. We all really enjoyed it, and I was looking forward to the parts we didn't get to. I would run it again. Here's some play reports that I wrote up. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/category/play-report/age-of-worms/

It has made for some truly epic showdowns.

It can, but all their stuff was pretty good quality. We can't see any difference between their stuff and actual Lego stuff. Like I said, it's probably been a couple years since we made an order, so take my review with grain of salt. We would only buy pieces for the PCs. If we used minifigs for...

I run a game with my kids, and they use minifigs for their characters. These posts are from a few years ago when we started. https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/2014/09/30/lego-minifigs/ https://jonbupp.wordpress.com/2014/10/05/lego-minifigs-in-action/ There are a few third party sites out there...

I forget where, but I do remember a option for darkvision that I like. Surface races with darkvision only get the benefits at night/twilight. Underground races only get it in complete darkness.

I use the Escalation Die in my game. It does help speed up combats, especially the big grindy type. As far as ED vs. Bounded Accuracy goes, just increase opponent AC by 1 across the board. I allow "boss monsters" to also use the ED. In one extreme case (against Lareth and Co. at Moathouse...

That's where I'm at at the moment. Mostly I run for my kids, and they have tended to run characters with access to darkvision or the light cantrip. I do run this game as more heroic and epic, so it's just as easy to hand wave away. I do run a solo game via email for an old friend of mine that...
