Checking in to make sure all is well, and also to let you know I'm on vacation and my internet access will be spotty. Aug 6-12 I won't really have access at all. Sent from my iPhone using EN World

You're welcome. I knew I'd searched before, but when I checked my iPad before responding to your comment, I discovered the problem. Some experimenting on my part and checking DDBs forum thread on global search tracked the issue and solution down. Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

There is a global search function, and once the search is run, you can filter to show only compendium results. If you are working on an iPad, the search field may not show up in landscape mode. It should in portrait mode. This is an apparent bug that was reported a while back. I just reported...

They have said that you can purchase "bundles of like content per source," so all the player races from the PHB, all the magic items from the DMG, etc. I don't know that a spell bundle has been specifically mentioned, although the purchase of individual spells has. I would presume a spell...

They've been very open about the fact that the campaign manager is currently bare bones and that added features are in the works. The campaign manager was the last "phase" of the beta, although it opened when the character builder did. I have the impression that they released it when they did...

This is already part of DDB; they call it the Compendium, and I've found it very handy. (In fact it was up before the character builder was) It wouldn't require a subscription, just a one-time purchase of the books you want. That said, while I find their pricing model very reasonable, you...

Are You Planning on Subscribing to D&D Beyond I'll buy the PHB on sale, and either the spells or all player options in SCAG depending on pricing and bundles. Can't justify anything more currently given my budget. I have no need for either subscription at this point. The rest will have to...

On the DnDBeyond forums, they have been explained that a DM with the Master tier (6/month) can share with up to 12 players with free accounts.

I've DM'd most of it. I wouldn't up foes. Some encounters were close to deadly; I fudged a few roles. If you are using the pregens, be sure that you as DM read all the backstory info. With the rogue pregen in particular you will need to do some thinking about how to handle certain encounters...

Until this summer, most of my games were family ones, and we had one set of books. (i do make extensive use of the SRD pdf to participate in a PbP game). My daughter "infected" her friends, and two of them also bought PHBs which they use in the game my daughter DMS. (One of those friends has...

For that matter, some of the encounters as written should be run through kobold fight club, as they can be quite deadly. (Less of an issue with experienced players whose strategy is better than the novice players in my group).

General: -If all the rules seem overwhelming to master, decide which ones to ignore. (e.g. I dropped encumbrance, exhaustion, reactions, and opportunity attacks initially; Now that I feel a little more competent I've added the last two back in). With an established group, especially, (mine...

Oh, another thing I appreciate are suggestions on how to adjust encounters depending on party size and/or level. (Dan Hass' adventures and the AL adventures both do this in somewhat different ways)

Only now noticed I apparently inadvertently clicked laugh on your post, Hillsy7. My apologies!

A bit late to the party, but here's my input as a fairly new DM, with little to no prep time. I prefer pdfs, so some of my input is geared that way -boxed text, written to take into account different entry points and potential changes depending on what has happened so far. (I like the...

Quellathe managed to throw herself against the wall and avoid the worst of the fireball. Naeris, however was not so lucky and fell to the ground, singed fur still smoking. "No!" shouted Quellathe. She shoved her way past her fellows into the room, and shot two arrows at the mage. The first...

Quellathe muttered in frustration at being boxed in. She much preferred the forest where she could move more freely. She approached Kelvyn and Tirion, and drew her bow, ready to shoot when she could. I'm assuming Q doesn't have line of sight on anyone at this point. As soon as she can, she...

[ooc]Q will take out the two orcs. [\ooc] Sent from my iPhone using EN World

[OOC]if Q has line of sight, she'll shoot two arrows at the woman. Rolls are above. If not she will continue to ready until she had line of sight on someone. [\OOC] Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

[ooc]Quellathe's target of choice when she gets a line of sight is Khalil, although she'll shoot at one of the others if they come into line of sight before Khalil. [\ooc] Sent from my iPhone using EN World
