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

    Wanted to ask a question about rolls. i find enworld's built in roller frustrating to use, especially since editing posts with rolls is problematic. In my previous pbp game here, I use cayotecode. I do the roll there, it provides a url and/or bbcode snippet which I paste here, which allows...

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

    Surina was tempted to send her horse galloping up to the bodies. Seeing them lying there triggered an intense need to help, and, if she was honest, to avenge. But Zadolix's caution, and Keth's wisdom in dealing with two of the horses shook her out of it. She slipped down off her horse and...

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

    Surina watered her horse, and splashed a bit of the well water on herself; she never had liked the hot weather; she much preferred the cooler months. "Thanks for the water an the information, Mr. Marney. I'm Delmirev Surina. If my memory holds, you used to purchase wine and cider from my...

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

    Surina smiled fondly when Zadolix entered and greeted her. "It's good to see you my friend. I've been in Cade Coble and only just returned myself, so I don't know more about the rumors than you." When Keth suggested leaving, she nodded and joined he and Zadolix in heading toward Everett and...

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

    Surina frowned a bit to hear Everett was in charge; he could be a bit unruly, and quite frankly, oblivious to the ruckus he caused. His carefree attitude grated against her devotion to the rules. On the other hand, she, too was concerned about the rumors about the Leed barges. And it wasn't...

    IC post is up. I'll try to get Surina up in the RG tomorrow. Had planned to tonight, but it's been a long day and dinner didn't sit the best with me.

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

    Surina adjusted the pack on her shoulder as she paused at the door to the Lounging Goose. The chainmail she wore still felt new and different; it hadn't quite yet become a part of her. It was good to be back in Bit, after her time training in Cade-Crable. It was an odd feeling coming into...

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

    Surina's basic info is below. I do have some questions to fill out her backstory: Could she have gotten weapon training at the Church? Her background is acolyte, so I have her serving in the Church in Bit, but decideing to follow the way of the warrior/paladin. Would she have needed to leave...

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

    I'm interested if there is still room. I've had 2 PbPs fall apart on me, so I know your pain, but I've never dropped out, and I always alert folks if I'm going to be unavailable for a bit. I limit myself to one active PbP at a time. It will be tomorrow afternoon before I can put a character...

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

    My crew is still trekking through the jungle; They've enjoyed it for the most part, but I can tell that it's beginning to be a bit of a slog for all of us. Once they reach & finish Hrackhamar, I'm going to suggest we change how we handle the traveling. I planning to continue to use the...

    "Are the Authors of the Dungeon & Dragons Hardcover Adventures Blind to the Plight of DMs?"

    I don't know that I exactly qualify as a new DM, but I still think of myself as a novice. Of the WOTC published adventures, I've only run (most of) LMOP and (currently) TOA. I (or rather my son) has HOTDQ and TftYP on the shelf; I've read through a church of Hoard, looked only briefly at...

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

    Ended up writing my own. Didn't mention the company of the yellow banner, because when I went back and checked on the details given about them, it wasn't reasonable for the dead explorer to have encountered them--their paths would have been different. Here are the entries if they are of help...

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

    My players are not likely to stumble across hints that they need to look for Omu as they are provided in the book. I'm planning on planting a diary on a dead explorer they encounter at some point. (Right now they are on their way to Hrakhamar). I thought I'd also add a reference to the...

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

    My 4-5 level party has been pretty much breezing through the encounters in the wilderness, so I've had to start thinking about how to make them more challenging. I asked for help with adapting Mabala (and got good advice) in kthis thread I'm working now on Hrakhamar. Depending on how many...

    Beefing Up Mbala (TOA Spoilers)

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I sometimes have trouble thinking outside the box, and I found the discussion helpful. I decided to run with Quickleaf's suggestion about Zombies, and set up to use some of the zombies listed in TOA. But I also paid attention to his suggestions about strategy...

    Beefing Up Mbala (TOA Spoilers)

    Druids don't get auto detection, and she won't automatically know she is a hag. But the character in question was raised by a hag, and hates them bitterly. Narratively, I think it makes sense that she feels something is amiss. That said, you are right about Nanny P. realizing they are more...
