For that to be the case this adventure would need to either take place after the currently-running Campaign 3 (which is set 7 years after the end of Campaign 2), or some kind of time travel shenanigans must have occurred. Seeing as she's a Water Genasi instead of a Tiefling, I'm leaning towards...

I'm really excited for this one. Far Realm + the deep ocean makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done before now.

I've bought the most recent minus for Orcus and Baphomet, as well as the Sapphire Dragon and the Purple Worm. A lot of those were around 80 bucks, and I'm determined to use them in a campaign. These $500 figures are too expensive for me to justify buying considering there will be very few...

I just remembered Deathlocks are a thing, so I imagine one possible punishment for a Warlock is to become a Deathlock if they die.

I added that option to the results if anyone cares to change their vote.

The thread title and poll question are fairly self-explanatory, so I'll go ahead and state my own position. Personally, as a DM I am very much against taking away a spellcasting PC's powers. The way I run things, a PC who offends their supernatural patron retains their powers, but at a price...

Lord of the Rings this ain't.

I also personally do a lot of deep diving into D&D lore to use for my sessions and want to incorporate ways to use it. For example, in researching Orcus I just found what is possibly the only reference to another servant of his allegedly on par with Doresain called Vermiturge (the source is...

Since I started DMing back around 2007 I have only run one published adventure, the one that came with the 3.5 Beginner's Box. I've bought and looked at plenty of published adventures, and sometimes I've thought about running them as is, but so far I always end up choosing to make things harder...

I believe 4E there was at least one reference to the final Paizo era Dungeon Magazine adventure path, Savage Tide, having occurred some time in the last century. EDIT: Found it in the 4E Demonomicon: It then goes on to say that Demogorgon eventually was reformed by the Abyss itself, defeated...

Has anything been said about Manganiellos's campaign? Is it set in the Dragonlance setting, a homebrew setting, etc? Is it the home world of Arkhan the Cruel?

I decided to update the thread title to better convey my purpose for it. The nereid from Tales From the Yawning Portal has this particular trait: For another water creature, the water weird has this in its 5E lore: I'm a fan of spells that are more situational (like purify food and drink)...

In the original streaming show, IIRC, Showing that in the animated series might have helped sell them as more capable, but it also would have eaten up time and gotten rid of an opportunity for the whole group to react to the sudden appearance of an imposing variety of foe.

Huh. The only 4Eism I'd noticed other than the pantheon is the existence of residuum (the all-purpose magic item-making dust from 4E). Do you have a source saying Keyleth used Roots of Rescue? I'm genuinely curious if they're going to mine anything else from 4E to use.

It is kind of surprising that they've restricted the characters' powersets for the animated series versus what they could do in the actual play streaming show, though I think they may expand on them over time. Presumably they thought giving the characters access to all the spells their streaming...

Just finished the second batch of three episodes. Curious to see if anyone's impressions of the show have shifted with these three, which mark an overall shift in tone.

I believe that's in Wild Beyond the Witchlight as a weakness for a specific hag. I think all three of the hags in the adventure have a strange weakness. IIRC, one can't see the first creature in her line of sight upon waking up, and I think another has a windup key that she doesn't need to live...

Just found a good one from an old issue of Dragon Magazine. According to The Ecology of the Purple Worm, a purple worm that is sufficiently harmed will excrete a smelly substance from a gland that warns others of its kind to stay away and to mark a place as dangerous. Even young purple worms...

The harengon barbarian, plasmoid fighter, halfling cleric, and their satyr companion all ended up reconvening with each other at a dryad's tree and were requested to go deal with an ettercap. The monster has both been eating smaller fey and has also kidnapped a halfling tinkerer. The group...
