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

    I'm thinking I'll do this, and usually adjust AC in the process, unless I find it makes encounters too easy.

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

    I'm still trying to sort out how to easily track/determine how much water the party has had access to over the course of the day. I don't want to constantly be asking, both because it seems tedious, but also because if they know the drill, they will always tell me the "right answer." And that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on this article about Black Culture & the D&D team dropping the ball?

    I found the article to be though provoking, and not particularly negative or click-baity. Interesting how different people respond differently to it. Because I think context matters, let me share some of my own: I'm a white American living in the midwest, in a predominantly white community...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Multiclassing Poll!

    I mostly DM, but have played a bit. So far no one in the games I DM has multiclassed. Most players are new to the game, and I haven't really mentioned multi-classing as an option to them. My two (teen) children know it is an option, but haven't been excited to try it. I am planning on...

    D&D 5E (2014) how much "work" is prepping & running ToA?

    I haven't started running it yet, but I've been working on prep. -I've just finished creating a spreadsheet that tracks rain and random encounter rolls for 10 adventuring days. It uses random number generation and can be refreshed, so I can extend it as long as needed. So far I've printed 2...

    D&D 5E (2014) GF9 Tomb of Annihilation DM Screen

    I'd be curious to the answer to this as well happyhermit. It's not available on Amazon in the US (at least not that I can find), which appears to leave me with ordering directly from gf9, if I decide it is worth the $15.

    D&D 5E (2014) Optimum and/or Fun Party of 6 for ToA?

    The group I will be running through TOA includes a paladin (unless the party tpks fighting Bad Fruul) reading through TOA, I've frequently thought having a paladin along will be helpful, despite the heavy armor issue. Sent from my iPhone using EN World

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    I can certainly understand the arguments against pre-order bonuses, at least the kind that potentially shut people out of content containing mechanics/crunch. At the same time, I am aware that when the option to preorder XGtE on DDB was first announced, there were a number of posts in their...

    DDAL Hardback ToA start vs DDAL07-01 start? [spoilers]

    If you don't need to run an AL legal game, a third option is to use Return of the Lizard King (available on Dungeon Master's Guild.) If end up running TOA starting with level 1 (or even level 2) characters, that's my current plan.

    How to Use Hard Cover Adventures in AL League Play

    I thought I'd follow up for those who might be in a similar boat. Thanks to being in a campaign on D&D Beyond where the DM turned on content sharing and she (or someone) has TOA, I've been able to read through parts of it. Having done so, I'm feeling more confident about being able to run it...

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

    Well, my crew isn't running higher level characters (they will probably start TOA at level 5), and my problem so far has been encounters that prove to be deadly for them when they aren't designed to be. I'm working with players new to DnD, who are still learning the mechanics and how to use...

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

    This evening I was talking with the player who DMs in my place when I can't make our AL style (but not official AL) weekly game at the library. We are both interested in using TOA/Chult for the weekly sessions once we finish up the Tier 1 modules from SKT, but we were both feeling like the...

    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    Where did you find the author's comments on DnD Beyond? Did I miss a link? DDB does have a dice roller in the forums, but not in the character creator or on the character sheet. Maybe that's what the author is thinking of? Sent from my iPad using EN World mobile app

    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    Yeah, I wondered about that. But it's an extraordinarily poorly written article it that's the case. Or, the author didn't know the apps were connected part of the DDB project? If that's true, it doesn't speak well for the reliability or authenticity of the information.

    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    It's odd to me that there's no link (in the Mashable article) to an official WOTC announcement. If this is accurate, it is an interesting/puzzling choice given that DnD Beyond is working on apps for iOS and Android that would do this and more.

    D&D 5E (2014) DnD Beyond - Why is it still so bad?

    To clarify, PDFs still aren't available. DnD Beyond doesn't provide pdfs, but a digital tool set and compendium. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app
