Yeah, my players are nearing the end of PotA (2 dungeons left to do, since you're only meant to clear 2 of the final nodes). They're level 7, though there are 5 of them. I calculated that even with doing all the side quests and every dungeon entirely, you'd only scrape level 13 with a 4 person...

What Lanliss said above, but I'd also add: don't go and try and kill it while everyone else is sleeping or anything like that. This is clearly something that is fun for the rest of the group, so don't be the person who goes behind their backs and ruins that. Also, it might actually be friendly...

So, my party are entering the sacred stone monastery for the second time (previously they were level one and just briefly explored the top level before legging it. Now they are level 5, and have dealt with Rivergard Keep, the water temple, Feathergale Spire (kind of), and the Sacred Stone Monks...

Wow. The effort put into this is incredible - I can't believed you actually sourced so much of the information! This is an amazing resource, thank you!

My party decided to head back to Neverwinter, use all the money they'd made and a few persuasion checks to hire a squad of about 30 mercenary crossbowman/archers, and then set up an ambush for Venomfang in the village. He died in about 3 rounds.

According to Mike Mearls's twitter, the D&D site and other tweets from participants there is going to be a new weekly D&D stream run by Chris Perkins! Details here. It's initially going to be the new adventure "Curse of Strahd". The players are as follows: Anna Prosser Robinson: Video games...

What's also awesome is the Witch Hunter class that DM Matt Mercer created for Vin Diesel, then expanded into a full class and released for free!

An interesting and very long thread on traps I'm going to try and port over to here slowly over the next month. Thanks to @MerricB for the tool to make this so much easier! Originally posted by kraleck: Are you a DM? Do you need a clever trap but have no time or imagination? Then do we have a...

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like the answer, but what is the easiest/quickest way of saving large threads? For instance, there's a thread with close to 1800 home-made traps ( This one ) that's been going for the last 8 years or so, and it would be a terrible shame for it to be lost to the...

I wouldn't force them into any fights, but there are some that will be damn hard to avoid. But hey, if they come up with some crazy clever plan it might just work if the dice happen to be with you. I'm somewhere between "boss fights happen" and "all fights can be avoided" in the sense that I...

I recommend Being Everything Else if you fancy something related to getting better at GMing. It's an irregular show by the co-creator of Dungeon World Adam Koebel and video game designer Steven Lumpkin. They're both excellent DMs and have a lot of wisdom to share.

Sorry, didn't see this had been made, please delete.

Jeremy Crawford says that they write parts of the books. Where is your counter information that they only review them coming from?

So how much do they have to do for you to consider them at least partially praiseworthy? Sounds like they had a pretty hefty hand in creating the books.

spinozajack, have you ever considered that you not liking something doesn't make it objectively bad? Including the Warlord means anyone who wants to use it can. Anyone who doesn't want it can outlaw it at their table.

By RAW tiefling horns do not count as weapons. What your tail can do would be up to the DM's discretion.

For me, the answers are yes, yes, yes, and no because I don't use notes. I have no problem with the players knowing things about the enemies.

I don't fudge hit points without telling my players. I can't in fact, as I run on roll20. All rolls, stats and hp are in the open. If a fight seems to be dragging then I'll straight up ask the players if they want to wrap it up. There's nothing wrong with players knowing stats of enemies in my...
