    D&D 5E (2014) [SPOILERS] Enhancing Tomb of Annihilation

    My group has been in Hrakhamar for the last two sessions. They are levels 5-6, so I beefed things up some. Here are some of the changes I made, and some issues I discovered: There are significant issues with the map scaling and the number of monsters in several of the areas. The biggest...

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    Surina, Initiative: 1D20 = [3] = 3 Surina's internal reflections are apparently distracting her a bit.

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    Surina was impressed with the wisdom and sense of the mayor and the others. Then felt a flash of shame: had her time in the temple and in training eroded her faith in working people? For a brief moment she envied the archers above; at least they could DO something; all she could do at the...

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    Hearing the keening, Surina jumped a bit despite herself. Moving to the base of the stairs, she calls up "Everett? Zad? What's the situation? Am I needed above?" If anyone else (NPCs) are on watch with her downstairs, she motions to them to listen at the various doors in the room

    Best Two Hour Adventures?

    Oh, be sure to read the comments and reviews on DMs Guild for the modules you buy. They will identify strengths and weaknesses and sometimes suggest fixes.

    Best Two Hour Adventures?

    There are only two AL seasons that are mostly 2 hour modules, Storm Kings Thunder and Curse of Strahd. I ran all the first tier SKT modules. They vary in quality, but are all decently runable. They do interconnect, so they should be run in order. (If you run more than tier one, the chronology is...

    What to do and where to start after a TOTAL PARTY KILL?

    Note that if one is running TOA “by the book,” neither resurrection nor ghosts of previous players is really an option. Personally, I would find moving this a generation or two later to be complicated and a lot of work. Plus, one of the main incentives/time pressures is gone. (This all...

    What to do and where to start after a TOTAL PARTY KILL?

    One option would be to have them start with new characters in a location that would lead to them taking a different direction toward the site of the boss fight. One advantage of TOA is the size of the sandbox: even if they started a ways away from the boss fight, they could have all new...

    We Were All New D&D Players Once

    In terms of the question of whether or not to use pre-gens, I'll share the practice at my weekly AL style game at our local library: Players who are new to 5e (3 sessions of play or less at ANY table), are required to use a pre-gen from my "library." Class and race options are limited to the...

    Core+1

    Actually, I don't believe Mistwell is correct. I just double checked my own campaign on DDB, and I find no way to limit what is available to my players. There are plans for this to be added to DDB, but it has not been added yet.

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    Surina will gladly take a watch; she's not picky about which one. I'm thinking, though, she'd be most useful on watch if she stays downstairs; she doesn't have great ranged attack options--she'd be more helpful making sure nothing gets through the doors on the ground floor. Is that a possibility?

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    Surina frowned in concern at the description of such an organized and devious plan, then shook her self and put on a more calm expression. "I've felt the call of The Family as long as I can remember. I started to study for the priesthood, but then I realized I was called to be a force for...
