    D&D 5E (2014) What to do when the Player's Handbook falls apart

    Other than sending it back to WOTC for a replacement (which I think is the best idea). However, I decided to convert the Player's Handbook into a binder style book (like the old 2nd Edition) so I could add the Unearthed Arcana materials, the errata sheet, and any additional 3rd party player's...

    Tips on keeping track of enemy spells

    It can definitely turned into a needless bookkeeping exercise, but I also did not want to fail to play the spell casters un-intelligently. I would not think that a single spell caster would create too many problems to manage for a DM. There are tons of spell slots at the DMs disposal, but the...

    Tips on keeping track of enemy spells

    Played the game this weekend and the magic user encounters were very interesting. The spellcasters did tons of damagecwith each spell. - almosted did in one of the characters with the first spell. However, two things swung the encounter heavily towards the adventuring party. First, many were...

    D&D 5E (2014) Movies that make you want to play D&D

    Noone listed Dungeons and Dragons movie? I know it is a horrible movie, but it does get me in the mood for D&D. Add Big Trouble in Little China. Essentially a trucker in a D&D game. Kung Fu Hustle. Almost any martial arts movie, especially Bruce Lee flicks like Game of Death, or even Jackie...

    Updating the human verification questions

    I'm not sure what the capabilities are for the human verification program, but if possible, I would recommend a rotation of questions from a pool. For example, instead of asking two questions about a dragon breath, I would set up question one to be about dragons breath, and the pool of...

    D&D 5E (2014) In fifth-edition D&D, what is gold for?

    But gold enables the purchase of big ticket items like a manor or castle and to establish a lifestyle as a patron in the campaign world, funding future adventurers. That's the goal anyway -- like others in the post, we seldom can make it that far in the campaign before the group changes...

    D&D 5E (2014) In fifth-edition D&D, what is gold for?

    My problem with gold in D&D 5e is more about coinage treasure in the first place. Upon finding the coin treasure deep in the dungeon, my players look at the 1000 plus coins and just ignore it, especially copper. It was like finding a million pennies: Sure, it equates to $10000, but it is...

    Cloak of Misplacement Cloak of Misplacement Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement) While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. However...

    Tips on keeping track of enemy spells

    I agree that I doubt I will get past round five. But the exercise did help me sort through the preparation. It made me realize that I did not have to be prepared for 20 + different actions. (Seeing all those choices, for all the enemy characters, was a bit overwhelming at first and gave me...

    Tips on keeping track of enemy spells

    Walock of the Fiend supported by two Enchanters DMMike, that's the approach I've decided to take. Typically, I do not want to over plan any encounter, but generally most creatures only have a few actions they can take anyway. Spell casters add numerous more options, and if you include...

    Tips on keeping track of enemy spells

    Anyone has any tips on keeping track of enemy use of spells? I am running an adventure that is full of several different magic casters (clerics, wizards, warlocks, bards). As I am putting the encounter together, I am noticing the abundance of spells to keep track of (and master as I have never...

    When does a TPK occur?

    I wonder if the reason some of the parties foolishly tempt a TPK is because they so often encounter events that they often encounter and defeat dangerous foes that they become somewhat dull to "dangerous" situations.
