    D&D 5E (2014) Does any product give a detailed description of the city Silverymoon?

    My players will be passing through this city, and while I will be writing up most of the material for it, I would find it helpful to have something already written that details the city to build upon in order to save time. Looking at a couple of Wikis, the reference sources are all one or two...

    D&D 5E (2014) SKT - Yakfolk Village makes no sense.

    I was thinking on this problem last night as I was laying in bed drifting off and decided that the best way to handle it without moving the entire location would be to change the slaves from human/demi-human to humanoids. That many human slaves would be difficult to explain in this remote...

    D&D 5E (2014) SKT - Yakfolk Village makes no sense.

    I like this idea particularly well and will run with it. Thank you for your input.

    D&D 5E (2014) SKT - Yakfolk Village makes no sense.

    My players aren't children, no one would storm out, or even question it most likely, however we are all educated professionals and it would be noticed even if not commented upon. Making believable environments the norm helps with accepting those things that aren't the norm (fighting inside a...

    D&D 5E (2014) SKT - Yakfolk Village makes no sense.

    So I try to have things make enough sense in my fantasy games that the sense of suspension of believe isn't strained too much. We are still a ways from it, but my party will eventually be pursuing the Vodindod and Duke Zalto, and the Yakfolk village just makes no sense. I may have to just cut it...

    The Horror! of Player Agency

    If you are there to kill monsters, not only is it your obligation to communicate that to the DM, but also the DM's job to know his players and present games that maximize everyone's enjoyment. Like in any cooperative event, the ideal outcome isn't always achievable (everyone has maximum...

    D&D 5E (2014) Storm King's Thunder - Nonan's Hold (need DM advice)

    They experienced a heavily modified version of chapter 2's Triboar fight. They spent several sessions roleplaying in the town and interacting with the villagers, solving a couple of mysteries. Of the two giants and their minions, one of the giants survived unscathed and drug the hunk of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Storm King's Thunder - Nonan's Hold (need DM advice)

    Thank you for your advice folks, I really like the wild goose idea. As I get older my creativity wanes so ideas like this that make the world feel real helps me a great deal. I can't use geese as it is late summer and the game is set in the North, so the weather is starting to chill. Any...

    D&D General Hero Forge in Color Is Open For Busniess!

    Nice model, but $45? I'd rather paint my own for that price.

    D&D 5E (2014) Storm King's Thunder - Nonan's Hold (need DM advice)

    I have a great group of players who are all excellent roleplayers and are led by my best friend who is a great DM (better than me), and though I've run games for over 40 years, I'm starting to slow down. The party is 6 players at level six and we are in chapter 3 of SKT. I like to write my own...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Hill Giant Chief for Storm King

    Oy, no. I have neither accused anyone of anything nor am I rising to your bait. Just delete the thread or whatever you guys do. And yes, this stuff very easily devolves into virtue signaling. What I will accuse you both of is attempting to make an issue out of a non-issue. I will make no further...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Hill Giant Chief for Storm King

    Umbran: Fair enough point. I shouldn't have mentioned it in today's hyper sensitive climate that so very quickly devolves into virtue signalling and acrimony, which is why I don't want to discuss it. I have many strong opinions and wrote the post quickly, which is likely why it came out. Those...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Hill Giant Chief for Storm King

    Glass : I'm not concerned about the scale too much so long as it fits on the proper base, which this does. I'm looking more for visual impact on the table, and this model as a chief does have that. Dave: Yeah, this is essentially Guh in a nutshell, which is fine, the rules seem solid on her...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Hill Giant Chief for Storm King

    I want to use the hill giants in the SKT game I'm running, but I'm not into their storyline, or rpging them like overgrown children. I think of them more like the Trolls in Tolkien's The Hobbit. Still a little comedic, but deadly and frightening, not silly. Anyhow, I don't like Guh. The plotline...

    Need a Battletech Lore Master

    That is a lot of thought. I feel fairly confident about not incorporating new tech into a 30 year old game, and just accepting it as is. Rather like playing Fallout, the tech just developed that way in this fantasy setting and roll with it. Not that I desire to let the air out of your tires...

    Need a Battletech Lore Master

    After three decades I'm getting back into the game. I quit before the clan stuff and am perusing the enormous quantity of material that was produced in the years since I lat played. I'm noticing the Experimental Technical Readouts and am curious what era they were made for? Where do they fit in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need quick Wight life drain help please?

    My players will encounter two wights tonight in different fights. Does a wight drain life with each of its attacks, or is this a special ability that it may use only once per round? My google fu has failed. Thanks!
