    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    My kids were both loopy, so we didn't get very far today. Still, our caravan got out of the Fields of the Dead, and a few things of note happened. First, one of our PCs was found dead with a dagger through the heart. (The player had to leave the game.) Without blowing our cover, we discovered...

    D&D General Have You Actually Read the DM's Guide?

    I go back to it whenever I need to. I agree, though. Every time I read it, I find something else I didn't remember.

    How big are the biggest cities in your campaign world?

    Same. And the City of Brass will be included as well, assuming my players really decide to continue the campaign that long.

    D&D General Mapping Tools

    Thanks. Do they work with a home computer as well? My prep tends to be completed a day or two before we actually play.

    D&D General Mapping Tools

    I run published adventures, so I don't need them all that much for local/dungeon interaction. It's the cities that drive me nuts. Everything I can find Online is either too busy or not busy enough -- or prints in a blurry mess. I will have to check out Worldographer.

    D&D General Mapping Tools

    Going off of this, I would like something that easily lets me create a printable map. We game in person, not on the computer.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tasha's Optional Class Features - Using Them or Not?

    I looked for Tasha's at Barnes and Noble yesterday, but it wasn't on the shelf. I wanted out of the mall as soon as possible, so we didn't look at the game store there. (We were only there, because "fall" sports are supposedly starting on the first.)

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    The first session back after a long break is often rough.

    How Do You Feel About NPC Party Members (A Poll)

    Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a must see movie if you haven't seen it. It was Keanu Reeve's first major role and has held up amazingly well.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    I'm not sure. Our sessions typically run 1-2 hours, because my son can't focus for longer than that. If they start skipping the action of choice each day, it could go by pretty quickly, especially if the die of fate continues to avoid encounters. They also aren't big on the role playing, so that...

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    It does if it is yowling outside your window. Lol!

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    We joined the caravan in HoQ. It went smoother than I expected. One of my players mentioned that he missed fighting. (I rolled an encounter, but not an actual battle.) I'm letting each character do one thing a day, two on rest days, so I reminded him that he can go scouting/looking for trouble...

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    Chasing after an escapee definitely disrupts the gaming!

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    I like leaving it up to the dice. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) What House Rules Can You NOT Live Without?

    I like that. It keeps the randomness of fate in there, but at the same time it keeps everybody on somewhat equal footing.

    D&D 5E (2014) What kind of XP awards does your group currently use in 5E?

    For that style of campaign, that makes sense. Not my usual style, but in this case, I like it.

    D&D 5E (2014) What kind of XP awards does your group currently use in 5E?

    This. Although I have a house rule that if the player isn't ready with their updates, we only roll for hit points and they have to wait for the next session or a break to get the rest of their upgrade. They should know when they are about to level.

    D&D 5E (2014) What kind of XP awards does your group currently use in 5E?

    It only let me choose one, but we give immediate XP for monsters killed/conquered. We also give XP, though, for information gathered/quests accomplished.
