    D&D 5E (2014) what monsters create other monsters

    I’ve been wanting to make an encounter with a Carrion Crawler mama and it’s babies in a nest. Eggs are laid within corpses. Just haven’t had time to nail down the details of CC babies.

    D&D 5E (2014) How does your group determine ability scores?

    4D6 drop the lowest down the line. The campaign I just wrapped up was 3D6 down the line with the option of choosing one stat to be 4D6 drop the lowest.

    D&D General A idea for A DAD version of The Hulk from The Avengers that spends half of every month as A Angel Lord and the other half as A Demon Lord

    How would this be relevant in the campaign you are running? Do the players meet this Hulk? Is he important somehow?

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you buying less 5e Material?

    I haven’t touched official WotC material since TCoE, and will likely not be acquiring any thing that has come out recently or is coming out in the near future. It’s nothing against WotC, I just don’t get excited about high fantasy anymore and none of the new setting books jive with my sensibilities.

    Have you tried a little place called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?! *bald eagle screeches in the distance

    D&D General What is the best dungeon for long term exploration?

    Currently running Barrowmaze and it ticks all the boxes. Even came up with some home brew rules to make playing it more “old school”.

    D&D General What did you think of the Stranger Things D&D game?

    The DM was great. A good example of how you can be adversarial but also root for your players.

    D&D 5E (2014) Good Lord - I'm Taking Over 20+ Teen D&D Players

    Let the power go to your head and just rule with an iron fist. Turn those DM’s into savage player character killing machines. That’ll teach those teens some REAL life lessons.

    D&D General How often are your stories on a clock?

    Yeah I get it, but I was tired of it and wanted things to progress for my own sanity. It came down to pacing really. The game was getting stale and so I injected just the slightest amount of pressure to kinda light a fire under the players and shift the focus of the adventure.

    D&D General How often are your stories on a clock?

    I told my players once that they had 2 in game weeks before a ritual was complete just so they’d get on with the adventure instead of pissing around town. I’m currently using the dungeon turn with every hour indicating a roll for random encounters. The players also know that if they stay too...

    D&D General Why did you pick your campaign setting?

    The Setting: Barrowmaze and the Duchy of Aerik Why?: We tend to play beer and pretzel style as we only have 2 hrs of gaming each session, thus the focus is on action and adventure and less on character arcs and such. Having the classic home-base-with-a-dungeon-nearby setting allows me to pick up...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wy to level playing field for martials with alternate ability score generation.

    I don’t have to accept anyone’s word and you can’t make me because you aren’t my real dad. I was sincerely asking whether or not it impacted play for people as I have not had an issue with this particular problem at any time during my illustrious 20+ year D&D career. As someone has pointed out...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wy to level playing field for martials with alternate ability score generation.

    Not to be a bother, but I see this topic coming up repeatedly and I have to ask: Does the perceived disparity between martial and caster classes actually impact play? Has anyone been playing a fighter and get miffed when their teammate wizard drops a big ole fireball and cleans house of all the...
