Have been playing and running 5e for a while. I just ran my first session of OSE Advanced using Incandescent Grottoes for my kids. They were a party of a Druid, Paladin, Cleric and Thief. 2 PCs and 2 hirelings. Some Anecdotes: 1. This adventure layout is incredible, it’s like my brain goes on...

Curiously it doesn’t list Unarmored Defense like the Martial Adept and other printed Monk stat blocks but does provide for a calculation of 10 + DEX + CON through the Mountain tattoo. The tattoos are fun ideas for Monk abilities or magical items.

Have you looked at something like Skerples’ Kidnap the Archpriest? I’ve been looking into it and it seems like it could help a lot.

I’ve been reading a lot of OSR adventures and I’m not sure I’m able to enjoy these ( 5e) anymore. Upon reading all that occurs to me is: Why is the layout of this Prison so simple? Why do they give you a prescribed infiltration plan? Isn’t the fun in these making your own plan and having it go...

Do we have any idea when the Dolmenwood Kickstarter will happen other than Q1, 2023?

Which category should you vote if you use MCDM monsters but also the new mechanics that go with those monsters such as the companion mechanics?

I got this one, I’m so excited for it.

I’ve gone into full on panic buying mode and ordered all the books on the OSE site that I don’t have already. I’m open to recommendations, especially for higher level dungeons.

So if I understand correctly, a good adventure and board game? What is the review for someone with no nostalgia because they were barely born?

Is there an easy way to tie the new starter set to this? Could they be adding content to bridge the gap? Would the characters being Level 3 or 4 help with the balancing?

I play with my children, they’re happy to elaborate sometimes and then other times you need to fill in the gaps.

We had another session and the players have now reached level 2. In a moment of stress / excitement I ruled that the Rogue could sneak attack as a Reaction when healed by the Order Cleric. Realized only afterwards that I had forgotten because I was getting worried about the character’s survival...

My 1d&d playtest group is still going. The only player affected by the recent packet was the Rogue but they are still level one and the only effect is they got an extra language. They have taken up the light weapon rules changes and enjoyed them. The Order Cleric cannot make the Rogue sneak...

In the video that accompanies the playtest packet Jeremy Crawford states that the MotM races are to be used alongside the new PHB ones. It would be Eladrin + Starting Feat for example.

Had another session today, here’s the feedback: 1. Had our first natural 20’s, promptly forgot to award inspiration. Rewarded after session after remembering. 2. If your group enjoys role playing you can go a while without testing any changes 3. Most fun session to date but that had more to do...

Playtest report: 1. Had the natural 1 rule come up tonight on a survival check. The character wouldn’t have much of a modifier but it felt almost natural to say that it was a failure and that we wouldn’t have to look up the modifier. For better or worse it does speed things up a bit. 2. Both...

So far we are testing the following on Stormwreck Isle: 1. Tabaxi Rogue with Lucky feat 2. Hexblood Druid with Healer feat 3. Dragonborn Monk with Tough feat 4. Ardling Order Cleric with Alert feat

I've been playtesting One D&D with a brand new group of players (my wife and kids) and it has been a blast. We're playing Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. A few things I've noticed so far: 1. It is good that Feats include passive bonuses because they would forget to use any active ones 2. So far...

Monsters and players do not follow the same rules though. There’s nothing that says the monster gains Extra Attack and MotM has monsters that can cast spells as part of the multi-attack, something that players cannot do. Some monsters add damage dice to their weapons as a means of scaling...

Do we currently know for certain that monsters can make Unarmed Attacks? Also, wouldn’t it be really bad for a monster with multi-attack to instead have to take the standard attack action for a single attempt at an unarmed strike to push a character away? Multi-attack explicitly says what can be...
