    D&D General Your favorite way to start a D&D campaign?

    Perhaps I wasn't clear - It's a TRAINING mission - no one is actually dead. The 'deaths' were a simulation, a lesson in not playing stupidly and/or assuming character invincibility, which players tend to do. This is especially effective for players who are used to permissive DMs who routinely...

    D&D General Your favorite way to start a D&D campaign?

    Starting with a (sort of) fight is how I like to do it. If players are new to my style of DMing, or new to D&D in general, I like to start them out with a scenario in which they are a posse on the trail of a band of goblins that have kidnapped a local. There's a little bit of tracking and...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    AD&D 1e, Cormyr. Well! 'Team Evil' had their first excursion together. Though Team 'evil' is a slight misnomer as half the group is neutral, but they ARE in the employ of the Assassin's guild. A Chaotic Evil Dwarven Assassin, Neutral Evil Half-orc Fighter, and two Chaotic Neutral elves - all...

    D&D 5E (2014) What level do you like to start at?

    Players: Hey! All the cool DMs are letting us start at level 3, or better yet 5! What level do you start at? Me as DM: One. Players: But at higher levels we can- Me as DM: One. Players: Okay, but first level characters are so- Me as DM: One. Players: Fine, if you want us all to be bored or die...

    D&D General What are you prepping for your next D&D session? (+)

    My 1e group has split into two groups - and Team Evil starts their first session apart from the regular group this weekend... Each of the members owes a debt to either the Thieves' Guild or the Assassin's guild, so they are basically given a mission to break into a crypt on a Noble's estate to...

    AD&D 1E Inquiry: How do fans of AD&D (aka 1E) feel about the Unearthed Arcana supplement?

    I view UA as any expansion set - as selectively optional.... so I basically go through and cherry pick the options I want my players to have, tweak a few here and there and that's that. For instance, I don't allow Cavaliers, and the Paladin remains a fighter subclass, but I have allowed...

    I noticed AD&D was absent, just added it back right before you posted... so it should be at 60 assuming I didn't miss anything. Edit: Yes, @Swarmkeeper, we seem to have rolled a simultaneous initiative for our typing. :P

    D&D General Does anyone else title their D&D sessions?

    I am normally not one to title the sessions, but since I have started running a game on Roll20, I have found that I am doing it with each session/chapter. Running a Fifth Ed. Fantasy module called The Fey Sisters' Fate, two sessions in: #1 - Trouble in Bur Hollow #2 - The Silver Mist Run

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    1st Ed AD&D, Forgotten Realms (Cormyr) continues... Kyla the Kensai's mini-session (as outlined above) was a success but left her with some wounds to heal, so she bowed out to convalesce. By some strange coincidence her player also could not make it to the session. Amazing how these things just...
