    New Ravnica Race and Guild Details Revealed

    Myself as well. Played MtG in the late 90s, but never paid attention to the worlds. I'm happy to see some of the creativity in the background behind the game coming to life as a D&D setting.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E's "Missed Opportunities?"

    1) I'm fine with two free skills from background, and then some roleplaying fluff (in most cases). 2) Granted - we don't use Inspiration ourselves. Instead we use the Action Point system from the Eberron campaign book from 3rd edition. Far more effective. 3) I've never used those guidelines...

    Survivor Halloween 2018 5e Undead- Wraith WINS!

    Well, with the villains, I recommended that one because of my own DMing influence. The villains of horror movies each have a distinct personality (and tentatively, an alignment). If you take Jigsaw, as an example, he's a 'villain' who could never recover from his grief and became a vigilante -...

    I make these suggestions admitting I have no idea what has, and has not, been done already. Horror Movie Villains (Jigsaw, Jason, Freddy, etc) Horror Movies (in general)

    Survivor Halloween 2018 5e Undead- Wraith WINS!

    I was voting Wraith and Lich from the beginning - mostly because both of them have very interesting creation stories attached. I'm quite happy about Wraith's win here - thanks for a fun thread, lowkey13 !

    D&D 5E (2014) My (Personal) Early Evaluation of the D&D 5thEd System – Wall of Text

    The only thing I can really add that wasn't already covered, would be that not only have I never paid for a table at my FLGS, but I've never even heard one in my area (or surrounding areas) charge money for it. I'm guessing that's a regional thing, I'm not entirely certain.

    D&D 5E (2014) Creating a school D&D club: Rolling Again!

    You could try the Mini-Dungeon Tome for 5th Edition. I backed this on kickstarter, and it's now available in pdf format on Drivethrurpg. It contains 130+ mini adventures, which might be great for your time constraints - you could even weave 2 of them together if you need to stretch at any...

    High-Level Features for Mid-Level Campaigns?

    One alternative method we chose for preserving balance while still eventually getting access to high-level material, was to reduce Hit Dice gains. We don't do it for every campaign; just once or twice it's come up where we wanted something more balanced, like the sweet spot you pointed out, but...
