    Just once it would be interesting to see what a positive post from you would look like.

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Phandelver - help me make it less like a video game

    I didn't tone it down; as long as you don't have the entire castle mob at once, it's fine. However, my group was pretty sly -- they had Glassstaff's staff and decided they would impersonate him. They got all the way to the main bad guy's chambers (can't remember his name) when he was alike...

    D&D 5E (2014) Running Phandelver - help me make it less like a video game

    When I ran Lost Mine of Phandelver, I thought it was silly that the characters would interrupt their very important quest so save Gundren with a bunch of side quests. So I didn't even offer them -- until after the adventure was complete. Basically, the group comes back to town, Gundren is saved...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance: Is it possible to run a Dragonlance game using the current core rules and material?

    It would take quite a bit of refluffing, but definitely -- it can be done.

    D&D 5E (2014) Points of Light setting and current cross-over strategy: Round peg in the square hole.

    Came here to pretty much say this. I loved the Points of Light setting, but it would not work as well as the Forgotten Realms does for the stuff they've written so far. But then again, Corpsetaker, if you enjoy Points of light, you can definitely change the adventures to fit that setting. I...

    Tales From The Yawning Portal - 7 Classic Dungeons Updated To 5E!

    Maybe you'd be happier haunting forums that do things that make you happy then. Just a suggestion. :) I, for one, am ecstatic about this release. Can't wait to get it!

    Tales From The Yawning Portal - 7 Classic Dungeons Updated To 5E!

    I'm curious if there's anything that Wizards of the Coast could do that would make you happy.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    Arial Black, your response was fantastic. Thanks very much! So how are DMs handling ambushes? Are most DMs rolling one Dexterity (Stealth) for a group of monsters trying to hide? Or are they rolling individually? I could see rolling individually for giant badgers hiding, but rolling once for a...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    Some really good explanations in this thread! I think I've been able to wrap my mind around it now. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    If I walk into my living room and notice that one of my brothers is hidden behind a couch, couldn't I still be surprised by the other brother hidden behind the other couch, who I didn't notice? Why would one brother automatically make the other brother known?

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    This is an interesting method. I wonder if it would fly for Adventurers League.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    It sounds like the consensus is that a group of monsters, no matter how they are placed or how well they roll, if one of them is noticed, they're all noticed, and a surprise round is not triggered. (Though some may remain hidden if they rolled a high enough Stealth, giving advantage on their...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Would this Surprise Example Play Out?

    There are five goblins. Each of them roll Stealth checks: 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. There are five PCs. Between them, they have passive Perceptions of 10 and 11. I see this going one of two ways: 1) The four goblins who rolled 11 and under on their Stealth checks are seen but the one who rolled 12...

    I can't respond to your private message until I have five posts. This should be five. I think.
