    Best old-school dungeon crawl for 5e?

    I can say that my group went through Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury as the first part of Storm King's Thunder (I was underwhelmed at the opening chapter in the book) and had a fantastic time. Got them up to 5th level quite nicely.

    "I'm BATMAN!" - Robert Pattison

    Ledger was incredible...surprisingly so. He went to a dark place playing that character, and I honestly think it contributed to his death. Not so much with the DC failure on its last few movies. Wonder Woman and Aquaman were both surprisingly good. And while I haven't seen Shazam! I do hear...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Final Announcement from The Descent Live Stream: Eberron Hardcover

    I have to say that while this is not entirely unexpected, it is slightly disappointing for me. I was really hoping for something like Planescape, SpellJammer or even (I know...really remote) Dragonlance. Ah well. Maybe next year.

    GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8--Final Run-- Part 6---THE END

    The show ended pretty much how I expected it to (I called Bran winning the throne 2 seasons ago). I do have some complaints about the continuity. Last episode, especially...what was the point of Arya finding the white horse? Did she become death? Was she dead and the horse was taking her home...

    Are you satisfied enough with the Artificer to publish it?

    This! This is my exact problem with it!

    Are you satisfied enough with the Artificer to publish it?

    No, I don't. I don't like it. What role does it fill? What does it add to the core group of classes that isn't already covered by those classes? My personal opinion, mind you...but it doesn't seem to fit well.

    GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8--Final Run-- Part 5

    I also had an issue with how Cersei "died." I think it would have been much more satisfying to have one more scene with Jaime and Cersei buried beneath the rubble together, and Jaime reaching over to choke Cersei to death so that she wouldn't have to suffer. It would have fulfilled the Valonquar...

    GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8--Final Run-- Part 5

    It was entertaining, yes. I have some serious criticisms about it, however. Mainly in the fact that the sudden transformation into madness for Danaerys wasn't believable for me. Yes, I know that she has been showing signs of this over the past few episodes, and my criticism is also tempered by...

    Preserving the Fear Inherent in 1st Level

    Or, do like me, and change things up to keep the players off balance. I don't often like to really challenge my players, but when I do, they tend to enjoy it as much as regular heroic game play. It's the moments of high tension that adds spice to the game, IMHO.

    Preserving the Fear Inherent in 1st Level

    My point is that it's OK for the DM to use a monster or group of monsters intelligently. Play to their strengths. Fighting a lair full of goblins? Lots of traps, little ambushes, etc. If the party withdraws for some reason (like to rest), reposition enemies...have them fortify areas that they...

    Preserving the Fear Inherent in 1st Level

    I don't know...you can effectively scare them with the right monster(s) and good tactics. Primary example: Last night, I was running my group (all 8th level) through Storm King's Thunder. They are currently dealing with the Fire Giants, and they had already entered the Fire Giants' lair once...
