I like what you are doing there. Gives me some ideas for future adventures. Very nice!

If I had to choose one, I would vote for simpler rules rather than more detailed or complex. My reason for this is I find it easier to add on complexity than it is to remove it, so if the rules are less complex to start with, I can always add in more rules, crunch, or what have you to make it...

Only under 2 conditions: 1. When a player has literally not shown up more than once (in 10+ sessions), which was not so much fired as just kind of "let go". 2. When a player is so caustic to the entire group that keeping that person is detrimental to even continuing the group. I am not talking...

Given your daughter's idea for her adventure, along with others that have been mentioned, I would recommend "mining" The Lost Mine of Phandelver for ideas. It comes with the basic boxed set of the rules, which is better to use in general when starting out (DMing or playing) than getting into the...

Xanathar's Guide to Everything

But he'd never let you down.

Not sure what you are going for here, but to me, that is a very balanced party. I prefer groups of 4-5.

You should publish your conversion in DM's Guild.

Precisely! If the characters don't already have a home (parent's house?) or apartment in Waterdeep, they need a place to gather and rest. At least with Trollskull Manor, it is basically deeded to them for 'free', so despite it being a dump, it is a rent-free place they can hang their armor for...

Well, I just uploaded the conversion for WDH to Eberron - Sharn to DM's Guild. I hope some folks find it helpful. It was a LOT more work than I anticipated at the beginning. I am looking forward to trying it out on my group of players in a couple months. I also learned a great deal about...

The selling of Trollskull manor has been mentioned before in another thread. That is certainly an option, and I think the final agreement on the price of sale was 5000gp.

I echo some of what Pukunui has said. I spent almost an hour with the players before they even rolled up characters, going over some of the details and pitfalls of the possible things they might encounter, both as players and characters - basically, I managed their expectations right from the...

That sounds EXCELLENT! Would love to have you report back after you've run a few sessions to hear how it works out.

I think these are some very good points to keep in mind. You will need quite an appendix and chart mapping out who is located where, their motivation, what they will do in certain situations, etc. Also, Practicalm is correct in that someone was considering having the McGuffin move from major...

I have not seen any reviews here on EN World, but there are some comments posted in DM's Guild with some of the adventure modules of the Embers of the Last War. They are not full out reviews, but there may be some help in letting you know if the adventure is worth purchasing and running, or not.

I envision an in-game copy of Volo's Guide to Monsters would be more like "An Idiot's Guide to Monsters", punctuated with more of Volo's boastings with an egotistical self-congratulatory prose. It would likely not be as practical as the real-world player's version, but still having some helpful...

I've been thinking about picking those up because I enjoy minis (using, painting, collecting, etc.) and these are rather unique. I think they would be helpful for new players, especially kids, to envision what these spell effects actually would look like on a proper scale. Please report back...

I am in a group now that started out with that concept in mind. I have DM'd once out of maybe 10-11 times. The other DM gets lots of ideas and wants to try them out, so I have acquiesced. In retrospect, I am not sure that was a good idea for me to just say "sure, go ahead, I'll just keep...

That is very interesting. I like the premise. Can't wait to watch!

Funny you should mention this attraction to Rezmir, because my character's backstory was that he had previously had a fling with Rezmir and she was kind of trying to coax him into joining the Dragon cult, but as soon as things got weird, he dumped her and took off. It created an interesting and...
