    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    That sounds good fun. There are so many good locations in Chult that will never be explored in my campaign since they have already made it to Omu. It's a shame, but most of the locations can be cut n' pasted pretty easily into another later campaign if I want.

    Session Recap: Shagambi's Shrine https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7195079/days-108-109-shagambis-shrine The players are starting to learn that Omu is a bit of a meat grinder. It was very close to another character death this week, and the characters had a hard time just getting away. I feel...

    Also, if any of your players are remote there are now excellent online tabletops. Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 are both excellent, but I prefer Roll20 as it has a gentler learning curve and is free if you don't want to pay for any of the fancy extras.

    I thoroughly recommend the D&D Starter Set : https://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Starter-Wizards-Team/dp/0786965592/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 It's cheap, has the basic rules and has one of the best adventures written for D&D in modern times. My D&D veterans I have played with for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    Session Recap - Kubazan's Shrine https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7174088/days-107-108-kubazans-shrine-and-one-character-death The characters went in here a bit too lightly and one of them never even got a chance to respond before he was dead. He has now taken over the NPC Orvex and turned...

    Running WotC Adventure Question

    I go with XP. XP for combat and occassional extra XP when the group complete an adventure. Very rarely I will give a character some extra XP for something amazing that they did themselves (such as one character bypassing all of Firefinger's defenses by climbing up the outside of the tower...

    Tomb of Annihilation

    Here's my campaign log: https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/forum/3041203 And @Nebulous has a great thread of his campaign: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?587369-Tomb-of-Annihilation-campaign-recaps I've really enjoyed the old school feel of this adventure so far with the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    We are back into it for another year. Here is the latest journal entry - https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7113513/days-99-107-the-lost-city-of-omu At long last, after over 100 days of exploring, the group find their way to the fabled lost city of Omu. But now what? Somewhere in here is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grappling on a steed

    In my game this would be a dangerous move for the player. When you grapple from the mounted position you would have to do an animal handling check to stay mounted, followed by another check to stay mounted while flying upwards and holding a grappled creature followed by an opposed skill check as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggested nerf to the Shield spell

    If your players have designed their characters to be tanks, why punish them for that? I know it can be frustrating when you line up a very nasty baddie who then rolls badly and never hits because of the shield spell, but the players have sacrificed other abilities to be able to do that. Let them...

    Oh yes. That happened. I forgot to chronical it. It freaked the party out though. I'll add it when I get a chance.

    Session recap: A better way to travel: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7068729/days-89-99-wings In the only battle of this session, it was lucky that all the characters had earned inspiration. All of them were caught by surprise by the medusa, and if it hadn't been for them spending their...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    Session recap - The Hanging Gardens of Nangalore It ended with a bit of a cliffhanger where things turned sour with a Medusa. Hopefully we don't lose some more characters next week. They've been dying like flies recently...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    Yep that's what I thought when I first saw him. I've been playing him as being carefree on the surface, but secretly holding a heavy burden. I would have him look as if he is about to turn on the party, only just hold it together and then when the situation is over announce that he is going to...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Does the Game Need Now?

    I'd just be happy with: 1) More adventures - both full campaign and small one-offs to slot into homebrewed campaigns 2) A 1st person style 5e computer game that transitions to tactical view when combat starts. It should be playable as a sole player offline, but also as multiplayer. To make it...

    Urp. Just about had a TPK tonight. Only 1 party member has survived now, and only because their final roll was a success on the death save. Almost a TPK from a random encounter. How embarrassing. https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/forum/3041203
