I've started to construct a campaign and have left the foundations in the hands of the players. They have surprised me by deciding to have the Boromir clan as their group patron. So it's a crime campaign then.

Hmm, just spitballing here, but how would this work? Roll a d20 and subtract your dex modifier (minimum of 1) Subtract that number from 100 The battle starts, going from highest to lowest. When you have completed your turn, you roll a d20 and subtract your dex modifier, then add the score from...

I say just jump in and start the module proper. Let your players know that you are finding your way with DMing and they should be forgiving if you get anything wrong. At the end of the day the rules don't matter, it's about having fun.

This is all awesome. Thanks all. I will look through them and see which ones grab me.

Hi all, I have been running the Lost Mine of Phandelver for some time (and more than once) with my kids aged 11, 9 and 7 using the pre-gen characters. They are now keen to roll up their own characters and start a full campaign like I play with my friends. Can anyone suggest a good campaign for...

Session 42: The hags lair https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7911822/day-118-10pm-12am-in-the-hags-lair I've got to admit, the group solved those puzzles a lot more easily than I thought they would. The games are getting a bit more few and far between at the moment as everyone gets more busy...

Phew, what a mess.

That went better than I thought it would. Good for them finding the back door - I don't know how anyone would survive an assault from the front. They are approaching the hydra now though, so that could go very badly.

You are putting a great amount of depth into this. I'm enjoying reading this being done well.

We'll definitely finish ours, but as Christmas approaches it is getting harder to get everyone together (particularly me). One of the players in this game will be taking on Decent into Avernus, and I've preordered the upcoming Eberron stuff.

It's a wee while since my last game, so this is a very short journal entry compared to normal because my memory has lost some of the details. Good fun, and Besh came very close to dying. Next week they will be heading down into the hags lair...

Good fun. Is it just me, or are you playing on reversed versions of the maps? It's a while since I played this one, but my memory seems to be backwards.

Session 40 - Naked and alone. https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7840701/day-118-10am-1-00pm-naked-and-alone This may end up being a good example of why you should never split the party. We have another game tomorrow and then I am away for the following two weeks. Next week I am a parent...

I've always encouraged players to play what inspires them. If that means an 'unbalanced' party then who really cares? As DM you change the theme of the game to fit the characters. I've had a party where every member was a rogue and that was a huge amount of fun. Sure they were lacking in some...

I don't know if this will be useful, but here is the adventure log I wrote for my group as they went through the adventure: Return to Xandrar | Eberron Revisited - Heroes of Xandrar | Obsidian Portal

I must be a harsh DM, but in the 39 years I have run campaigns I have never ever, not once had a player get an opportunity to resurrect their PC. There have been plenty of deaths (usually 2-3 per campaign) and 1 TPK, but in almost every occassion they were either too low level, or too busy...

Oh my goodness. That just changed my entire plan for my next D&D campaign.

Are there any thoughts (down the track) of setting up Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds versions of this campaign? I'll be right into that.

Have you seen the thread that @Nebulous started? Lot's of people's recaps: 5E - Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

Ha. I'm trying to slow down my Tomb of Annihilation campaign so that I can avoid a gap between games and give myself time to get the Eberron Campaign ready to go.
