    Numenera Core Rulebook

    5 out of 5 rating for Numenera Core Rulebook A caveat - I've only run D&D games before but have been doing so for the last 36 years (eep). While the setting is a little bare bones (but very nicely done and a very good mix of sci-fi and fantasy), and there are not a lot of modules out there...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Here is our latest adventure log - A watery fate: http://deathgrind.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/a-watery-fate This one took a lot of writing as a heck of a lot happened. The players descended through 3 levels of water in one 3 hour session, ending at the water portal. But the entire party...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron 5e - What do we want?

    I don't want to see an advance in the timeline, though I wouldn't mind seeing a step back in time. For me the big thing is updating the things that are difficult to homebrew - classes, races, dragonmarks, items etc. I don't see any need to republish what already exists, but it would be good to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Opportunity attack question

    Yep, if your party does not have strong ranged attacks then you'd better run. Split up, find cover, find somewhere where the enemy can't fly. At worst, hope that one of you manages to get away while the dragon is busy melting the rest of you. Dragons are tough, you don't want to meet them where...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your favorite campaign you've never run

    I had once designed a whole pirate islands campaign, linked to the backgrounds of two of the characters who were by that stage at level 5. But on the way out from the mainland the characters twigged something was off about the captain of the passenger ship they were on. They jumped ship, swam to...

    D&D 5E (2014) dragonmark-like supernatural gifts

    Aha. Then this becomes a totally different story, and what you have come up with seems very cool indeed. It's interesting how campaign specificity makes all the difference to me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    The latest adventure log. It doesn't seem too exciting in the writing, but it was really high tension stuff, going into a second massive battle before they had any chance for a short rest. They were already very injured and out of resources. I'm a bit sporadic in my gaming at the moment as work...

    D&D 5E (2014) dragonmark-like supernatural gifts

    I dunno, while I can see what you are trying to do it all seems a bit weaksauce to me. It doesn't seem inspiring, it just seems like trying to find a spell that fits each mark. I like the idea that someone else had on another thread. No variant humans, but everyone gets a feat at first level...

    D&D 3.x Thoughts of a 3E/4E powergamer on starting to play 5E

    That statement, more than any other you have made makes me realise that you play a different game to me. I simply cannot understand a player wanting to read the Monster Manual. For me that would completely ruin the game. I like the challenge and danger of not knowing what I am facing. It seems...

    D&D 5E (2014) feeling dissatisfied - need some advice

    I seem to be in a minority. I say that if you are not feeling inspired by this campaign then scrap it. But have one big final quest first that ties up a few loose ends. Then take a break, plan the next one, and start again when you are ready. If you progress with a campaign that you are not...

    D&D 5E (2014) I'm *GASP* Actually Going to Be Playing 5e in a Few Weeks -- What are the Character Creation Pitfalls to Avoid?

    Avoid thinking in terms of stats and optimisation. If you think in terms of story, character motivation and character background and then work out stats, skills and abilities accordingly, you'll have much more fun. Don't forget to give yourself flaws. Flaws are fun.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen's MOBILE Mansion? Opinions wanted

    I'd follow a strict interpretation of the rule of cool in this case. On a ship feels epic, so yes. On a cart is a bit sad, so no. WWTFDIHWM - What would the Fonz do if he were Mordenkainen.

    D&D 5E (2014) I Told Ya So 2014!! (or not)

    Or not. You told us in 2014. You were wrong then and you are wrong now. Nothing has changed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Here is the latest entry in our assault on the earth temple, in which the players are again defeated. But at least they are defeated in a cinematic fashion thanks to the idea Nebulous had of destroying the stone bridge. Thanks for that - it worked a treat...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Princes of the Apocalypse] Anybody running this?

    It will depend on how your players react. If they are kill first, ask questions later kind of players then you will find it harder to seed the hints that there is a deep conspiracy going on. If they are willing to roleplay and sneak etc then they will start to sense what is going on. I had...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Princes of the Apocalypse] Anybody running this?

    This is my one, set in Eberron: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?453315-Another-Princes-of-the-Apocalypse-Recap-Eberron-styles-but-later I started it at 3rd level as well. I eventually folded my recaps into the @Nebulous thread above as his is great. You should definitely update us...
