    Resting in armour

    First off: sorry to start a new thread because I know for a fact this has been covered on here but searching on the app doesn't work and opening the thread via the internet takes me to the homepage. I know there is no rules on resting in armour which is strange considering the amount of detail...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is my DM being fair?

    This sounds unfair. My monk has alert and my cleric has luck. They're in the game for a reason. Unfortunately, everything is at the DMs discretion but I would still argue that. Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    DM tips - improv

    I'm actually really good at accents but for some reason whenever I'm DMing, all my NPCs come out west country. It's funny you should mention backgrounds and floors. The very first thing I did when I was elected DM was get a copy of everyone's character sheets solely for the purpose of back...

    DM tips - improv

    Following on from this topic; what do you do if a player throws their melee weapon, like if they want to throw their longsword at the enemy. What kind of attack roll would you have them make? Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    Deck of many things

    Update: I made a cursed item for each of my players a few weeks ago and handed them out at last night's session. They were not impressed. This made me realise that the deck of many things is not for them. Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    DM tips - improv

    You're right, the book didn't elaborate at all as to what his intentions were. In terms of future interest, my players have none. They're metagaming a lot of the time, so the players know it's a side quest, so the characters aren't interested. They're pretty rubbish tbh, they also lost...

    DM tips - improv

    This is my first campaign and what I've done is read the book and write up each scenario/encounter/chapter etc into a PowerPoint, but in bullet points like you said, I leave out a lot of stuff because it's just not relevant. And I too have thrown in a bit of homebrew to change up the pace...

    DM tips - improv

    My DM game was somewhat lacking in last night's session. I always get excellent advice that I never would've thought of on here so that's what I'm fishing for again. Background is as follows, but feel free to skip to the last paragraph. Tips on improv. I know I focus too much on the campaign...

    Deck of many things

    The next question is, if I were to introduce it, should I let the players know the cards before they decide whether or not to draw? Or just be like "here is a magic deck of card, but be warned blah blah blah" Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    Deck of many things

    Maybe I'll hold off then. My group are level 5, just finishing phandelver then doing a homebrew, all thoroughly invested in their characters. Due to their inexperience (everyone's first campaign) I know if I give it to them and give them very stern warnings, they'll just be like "I draw ten...

    Deck of many things

    I've read about 10 different stories and all of them received 5000xp at least once, which is good. Wondering whether or not to introduce it to my characters Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) WAVE ECHO CAVE

    I should've mentioned that although we've got a projector in our d&d office, I can't use it because I use my laptop for DMing. Unless I just used the projector for sector 2. (I also bought the mike schley maps) Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) WAVE ECHO CAVE

    I'm a new DM, new to D&D, and an encounter in a dead end that's only 10 foot wide to be really difficult for me to manage, with 6 players, and they'd probably dislike it for that reason too, they'd all be climbing over eachother to attack.

    D&D 5E (2014) WAVE ECHO CAVE

    Quick question. Area 2 in Wave Echo Cave. It's a maze. How should I reveal this part of the map to my players? I usually just uncover the whole area/room, but it's a bit of a waste of a good maze in this instance. So I was thinking of drawing it out and revealing small segments as they...

    Frequent short sessions vs infrequent long sessions

    We do 4 hours fortnightly, I would prefer to do weekly but my party would prefer to do monthly so we compromised. They say that playing takes a lot out of them. I personally think that DMing is more taxing than playing yet I'm always ready to keep going (I'm the DM). Sent from my HTC 10 using...
