    "straight" rolls in D&D

    not keen on your current mechanics but can't think of a good way to do what you want. I await some good replies. Ok thought a bit more. How about either the change to LE is slow and the failed die roll merely indicates that the artifact is changing the person but there might be ways he can...

    Astral TableTop Gets Revamped

    I have still not found a better one than the free maptools. I will give astral another look but so far I was having trouble with it.

    God Games (NOT D&D)

    I played in a game where we were gods at the start of creation. The game was diceless and the GM was very experienced at the style of game it was, as were most of the other players. It was pretty new idea to me and I enjoyed the game. We had a creation phase where we created the universe and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    I might try running this next. Enjoyed the recaps. My PC's are level 6 though so the start after Port N might need speeding up a bit.

    D&D 5E (2014) How to get an undead army across an ocean?

    They just walk along the bottom?

    Looking for a well-written high-level (10-20) campaign setting in the Underdark from any edition of D&D.

    There is out of the abyss which is good for giving you some locations in the underdark the party might want to travel to and interact with. But you would not be able to run it as is. The overriding plot would be useful but you might well have to write half the adventures yourself. It is for...

    The D&Ds That Never Were

    I want a world where people liked 4th edition, especially my players. They hated it so much. We now play 5th edition but I tend to use some 4th ed adventures from time to time, the NPC's and humanoid spellcasting monsters are so much easier to run.

    Bardic Inspiration houserules

    Yes same story from me, and it can be a good source of roleplaying from the bard, I would try it first.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    I agree with the pre roll the random encounters and just pick a few interesting ones. I gave up calculating xp after the first few levels and just levelled the group when they completed a chapter. If you try to calculate xp as you go you will need either more random encounters or to make up...

    Virtual Table Top With No Internet

    Not if they are on the same machine unless it changed recently.

    Virtual Table Top With No Internet

    Don't understand why you need the internet at all with maptools. It should work fine without it.

    Sneak Peek At Ghosts of Saltmarsh Maps

    Someone made u1 to 3 in neverwinter the online game using the foundry. No idea if they are still there and playable. I did play through some of it but it was a long time ago.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forced Movement in 5e ?

    On a similar note, what do you do when a creature is pushed into a wall with forced movement. In 4e they used to take damage I seem to remember. I assume 5e has no rules covering that too ?

    SPEC 4-1: Cerulean SPEC 4-2: The Writhing Obelisk anyone read or know location of the combined mission document

    Simple skill check question

    A common situation. The players encounter something that requires a skill check to gain more knowledge of. Lets take the simplest example I can think of they find a holy symbol and want to know if they recognise it. Assuming it is an uncommon evil symbol which they may have come across and...

    SPEC 4-1: Cerulean SPEC 4-2: The Writhing Obelisk anyone read or know location of the combined mission document

    So the group escape and regain their gear with little trouble and set off looking for people to rescue. As usual it is hard to make them fight a set battle unless they want to as they have an invisible scout and a very stealthy scout and they do their utmost to avoid anything they possibly can...

    Best Campaign Settings to Lift From?

    Depends what forgotten realms material they have read. A lot of good adventures from what was living forgotten realms are available for free. These are ready to go if you are playing 4e and most are freely adaptable to a range of levels. Some of these are chains of adventures which you...

    SPEC 4-1: Cerulean SPEC 4-2: The Writhing Obelisk anyone read or know location of the combined mission document

    Oh and looking it over again it's not obvious where you intend the PC's to start in encounter 9. I am assuming at the bottom of the map in the middle

    SPEC 4-1: Cerulean SPEC 4-2: The Writhing Obelisk anyone read or know location of the combined mission document

    Well annoyingly I failed to get the other group organised so now I am about to run it for just my group so sorry for the wasted effort. I'll post back with what happens.
