I have had fun retrofitting Ravenloft to double as Castle Shadowcrag. I use some of the same encounters, but by and large they're stripped out and replaced by all sorts of different undead and ghost NPCs.

Combine Lost Mine of Phandelver with Icespire and find the 4e Neverwinter city supplement, and you will have enough material easily for a 1st to 12th campaign.

The Con save is equally horrible for the bad guys, who usually fail it. I miss the old Concentration Skill where you could actually get GOOD at something. 5.5e needs a major overhaul, but the changes in this thread won't happen probably until a full 6e.

Level Up fixed Tiny Hut to my satisfaction. It is expensive but lets you get a Long Rest, and is no longer an invincible shield. Tiny Hut 3rd-level (evocation; arcane, force, protection, utility) Classes: Bard, wizard Casting Time: 1 minute (ritual) Range: Self Area: 10-foot radius hemisphere...

PotA is a great adventure, but it is not good for a starting DM. It needs some work from you and online guides to bring it together. Still, if you want the challenge, study up and read walkthroughs.

I'm very glad when players step in and support rules, especially when they realize they can't do something they'd planned on, and I'm too busy on the DM side to even notice their mistake.

When they level up I go around the group and ask them what new abilities they gained, so myself and the other players are aware.

I think if someone could resurrect this old book by William Dear, THAT would be a great movie.

Thanks @thom_likes_gaming . As others have pointed out, the article is a summary of the book. Much of it IS factual. Some of it is undoubtedly sensationalized for fame. I don't know how to weigh it one way or another. These events happened, and they had an influence on our collective hobby for a...

In real world occultism, gnomes are one of many names for faeries or earth elementals. They exist in the astral, and are generally invisible except to certain clairvoyants, but even then they do not have a distinct shape, seeming to form themselves from what the clairvoyant might imagine them...

I'm using gnomes in my Midgard campaign as villains. These particular gnomes worshipped devil patrons and effectively became evil. They're all a little crazy and mostly warlocks.

Many of them had level prerequisites, but I didn't see anything game breaking if you ignored that. I only used the resource at 1st level, they didn't gain more later.

It was the Talent series by Dragonix. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/214641/Character-Options-Talents-5e

Last campaign I let everyone start with a talent that was essentially a half feat from a DM Guild resource. There were lots to pick from and it gave the PCs a little more variety at 1st level.
