    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    I completely agree. I would just ask the player to give me a quick synopsis of the prophecy, thank them, and let them know that in your world, it might turn out a bit differently.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Is Designing Adventures With Shorter Content Chunks

    I have an adventure from it to put on the tail end of our current campaign, assuming my players still like the campaign enough to get to Level 20. I figure if we don't make it that far, I can always use it somewhere else at a different time.

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    On the Washington coast, we've only had a few days that were over 100, but I freely admit to buying two mega-boxes of ice cream at Costco right beforehand.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Is Designing Adventures With Shorter Content Chunks

    I love this idea! If nothing else, it lets the players take some real downtime, buy a house and set it up, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e suggestions for two beginner children and a first time DM dad?

    I've been in that situation. For us, we started with Lost Mines. To begin with, we used the pre-gen characters and I took one too, even as a DM. In my opinion, no starter player should begin with two characters. We actually ran through/started this twice, because the first time was full of...

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    In this case, I would use the bare bones of the prophecy, but let the player know that you wouldn't be trying to stick to canon, just melding it into your current campaign in whatever way made sense.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many house rules?

    Personally, I only have a house rule for how training works, because it doesn't make sense that while you are training a skill, you can't produce anything and then WHAM you are an expert. However, I have no problem with any amount of house rules as long as the entire table understands them and...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    After a random encounter coincided with Tiamat's Vengeance Day, resulting in a massacre and all the Dragon cultists fleeing, our game was upended last session. This session, after preparing for the team to follow the fleeing cultists (once the guard let them go), they instead decided to ride...

    D&D 5E (2014) PC races that a DM has specifically excluded from their campaign and why

    I don't use alignments, because we've figured out that the players at my table are incapable of following them. Lol!

    D&D 5E (2014) PC races that a DM has specifically excluded from their campaign and why

    At the start of the current campaign, I said no to Dragonborn, because it would cause potential issues that the players were not aware of. Now, though, if a player has to reroll, Dragonborn are also options, because they know what they are getting into. New players have to avoid Dragonborn for...

    D&D General Dumb Reasons To Get Booted From a Group.

    Or maybe he decided that his prep time was better spent doing something other than drawing maps that only some players could see and thought they could be mature enough to play with the given restrictions.

    He does sing with the dwarves, so . . .

    D&D General How Do You All Use Dragons In Your Worlds And Campaigns?

    I'm running HotDQ, so I use them all over the place!

    D&D General TPK or Imprison

    As much as I do resets if the entire group gets TPKed, this late in the campaign, I would just allow it to happen. Sometimes stories do not end well.

    D&D 5E (2014) The October D&D Book is Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons

    True! However, they are not automatically enemies/monsters to kill.
