    D&D 5E (2014) Why is Hoard of the Dragon Queen such a bad adventure?

    It's not bad. It's a railroad in the sense that if your players have no intrest in thwarting Tiamat efforts to get back to the material plan you have nothing else to do and being an adventure path there is a link between each adventure. But the adventures the,sleeves are pretty sandboxy, the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Primeval Awareness and other hidden gems

    Being a veteran I respectfully disagree, first of all, trying to keep time is harder than you might think, time can crawl or fly quickly in the blink of an eye, secondly I would i again that praying for guidance is an active action that require some concentration to cast (otherwise just make it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone ever try a lord of the rings esque campaign?

    Running a lord of the ring like adventure will require some tinkering with the base assumptions of the setting, like adding a corruption track and corresponding downtime activities to remove corruption, and of course picking up the monsters and how the shadow affect them. Honestly, if you want...

    D&D 5E (2014) LMoP Adjustment Calculator

    Firstly, well done. Having said that I don't realy see the point, LMoP is a sandbox adventure, as such it should be "balanced" to the extreme. IMO, running into deadly encounters is part of the charm of sandbox adventures. Warder

    What Happens If CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR Doesn't Fund?

    I just want to say that having played with this at gencon the iOS version was much further along than the web version. My main problem is that it doesn't support 5e and I have no intrest in PF. Just my 2 cents. Warder

    You sure? In my copy of the adventure Auranthur is simply an adult white dragon, where do you get the sorcerer info? Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Observations and opinions after 8 levels and a dragon fight

    From reading the thread I'd guess that it's the first episode in Rise of Tiamat, where the adventurers can encounter Auranthur, one of the great wyrms of the north, he also makes an apearence in R.A.Salvatore latest book. Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Observations and opinions after 8 levels and a dragon fight

    I don't get it, why didn't the fighter and paladin had any bows with them? Edit: and IMEX, concentration spells like fly should be cast on the character that would use it most efficiently, in this case either the fighter or the paladin, a wizard casting fly while fighting a dragon is just...

    D&D 5E (2014) HotDQ looking like an early TPK...

    Also, bringing henchmen and hirelings/militia from the town to storm the lair might be a good option, it will: A. Introduce your players to the concept of using the environment/people for their advantage. B. Allow you to introduce the nice loyalty and moral rules form the DMG (if you want to use...

    D&D 5E (2014) Easy Start 5E Level 5 PCs

    For someone knew to TRPG or to D&D don't go with a full caster, at most go with half caster, you want them to be active around the table and not having to read a bunch of spells, my top picks would be champion fighter or hunter ranger. Warder

    OMG! guess what? so is your's! :P Phew, that was shorter than what I thought it would be, point is mate, you got your opinion and it's a fine and good opinion, but other folks got their own opinions and going all passive-aggressive implying that your opinion is more valid than other folks...

    D&D 3.x The DMG: A CRITICAL HIT at 93.5%!

    If 13th age won ab ENnie award it's clearly due to ENWorld staff bias toward it, and also, it's clear to anyone who is an experienced player and DM that PF only "enhanced" the worst parts of 3e, everyone with a working brain can see it.. /sarcasm Warder

    D&D 5E (2014) Perception checks, searching a room, listening at a door, etc etc

    Several options: Use the marching order guidelines, if a character from the back of the passage want to go to the front and listen to the door, and than another one want to do so and so on they are bound to make some noise, make them do a stealth check. Also who is keeping watch when everyone...

    D&D 5E (2014) Blog of Holding Takes on Treasure Distribution and 1 XP/1 GP

    IMHO, XP for gold is best suited for sandbox campaigns, I wouldn't use it while playing HotDQ or TRoT because those are story driven campaigns but when I'm running a pure sandbox game with no replanted overarching story XP for gold is the way to go for me. Warder
