I've houseruled that Inspiration is awarded on a roll of 1. I took that idea from Cortex, where a failure can boost your chance of future success.

What a time to be alive.

32nd session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at Level 6: Dwarf Berserker/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. Elf Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised in Ptolus...

This could be right up my alley. If I ever got around to creating a homebrew, it would definitely have dead gods, fallen empires, and all that good stuff.

31st session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at Level 6: Dwarf Berserker/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. Elf Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised in Ptolus...

41st session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 8th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. We're playing online and sessions are about 2 hours long. This session was particularly short as we hadn't played in about 6 weeks and so there was a lot of...

30th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters who reached Level 6 early in this session: Dwarf Berserker/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. Elf Wizard/Magician. Outcast from...

Bit late to this, but I've used the Dire Troll to devastating effect on multiple occasions. Great monster.

This is my personal, anecdotal experience: I ran a 1-20 campaign with a vengeance paladin, beastmaster ranger, arcane trickster rogue, lore bard, and shadow sorcerer. The paladin was easily the DPR king. That player would burn smites like they were going out of style. I tend to run deadly...

41st and 42nd sessions of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. 8th level half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. Forgot to recap this! This adventure is an interlude. The evoker's backstory is centered on parents murdered under...

I suspected this thread would be pedantic. It has not disappointed. Ben's math feels like a good faith if imperfect effort to estimate the player base. He's far from the first to try and arguably fail. Cut him some slack. More interesting to me is WotC's claim that 50 million people have...

I've gained a real affection for boggles -- the stat block for the 4E version(s) is great. I try to use them in my games a lot.

29th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at Level 5: Dwarf Berserker/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. Elf Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised in Ptolus...

My guess is the Deck of Many Things is the McGuffin in a Planescape adventure. Great idea. I'm nearing the end of a Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup adventure so that would be right up my alley. Love all the mechanical support they're offering, too. Here's a crazy idea: What if the giant...

Glitchling has captured my imagination. Nice compliment to the warforged. Would like to play one as a rogue. Fate cleric is a great concept. The execution seems dull. But that's my reaction to most cleric subclasses. Some fun ideas among the feats, but many seem underpowered -- particularly...

28th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at Level 5: Dwarf Berserker/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. Elf Wizard/Magician. Outcast from elven lands, raised in Ptolus...

The map of the Academy is killer. Classic Will Doyle. He's a gift. Adventure isn't really my style personally but I bet my players would get a kick out of it. I think the format of a free intro adventure on DND Beyond for every published product is smart -- if they choose to go that way.

27th session of Monte Cook's 3E Banewarrens campaign run with Shadow of the Demon Lord on Owlbear Rodeo. Five player characters at Level 5: Dwarf Fighter/Warrior. Heir to a lost kingdom. His trinket is half of a treasure map. However, after being kidnapped by mysterious forces, his...

I had my first exposure to RPGs in elementary school. I played heavily through middle and high school. I did not have a gaming group in college (which I regret). I was in my late 20s when 3E hit the shelves. They rekindled the old flame. I collected a lot of 3E and 4E books but rarely played --...

I finished my first 1-20 campaign last year and it was definitely a bucket list moment. Congratulations!
