    D&D 5E (2014) DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    The Darklake is a rough place. Just began pre-rolling the random encounters and 6 chances per day for a random encounter is a big change from the 2 per day in the caves.

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss- Post your pre-set encounters *Spoilers*

    I did some random generation of encounters today and came up with following encounters that I liked. I've been using a result of 1 on the light rolls to determine if the encounter area is within the Faerzress. Day 7 Narrow sized area, Dark Patch of Green slime in area. A rocktopus that is...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    Any thoughts on having a ranger in the party with Favored Terrain: Underdark? I'm wondering how much it should alleviate the survival part of this adventure.

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss- Post your pre-set encounters *Spoilers*

    In this thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?469005-DMing-quot-Out-of-the-Abyss-quot there was much discussion about the random encounters and sandbox nature of the adventure. I would love to see what other GMs have come up with for their campaigns to put in those open areas...

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Options

    We play with both options. I even give them a free feat at first level and allow them to move the stat bonuses from a race around (although they cannot stack them with the subrace bonus). I haven't found it to be a problem, the players like the extra options and as a GM it just lets me throw...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: Now That It's Over

    (I posted this in the other thread and then saw this one) I've been reading this for years, since I first came here. Thank you Sagiro and Abernathy's Company. I have taken more inspiration from this for my own game than any other source. Whenever I get stuck for ideas or feeling a little burned...

    Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

    I've been reading this for years, since I first came here. Thank you Sagiro and Abernathy's Company. I have taken more inspiration from this for my own game than any other source. Whenever I get stuck for ideas or feeling a little burned out, I read a few posts and I'm jazzed to run again...

    D&D 5E (2014) Have you played 5E yet?

    Played the Starter Set last night. Only had three players, they chose the Noble Fighter, the Folk Hero Fighter, and the Dwarf Cleric. We had one death, the cleric. Some spoilers below It was a fun session. From a gm perspective, I enjoyed the simplicity of the rules. I'm not sure if its...

    Will the real Mike Mearls please stand up?

    The game produced is what matters, not what his opinions were years ago. Its not like he is running for office or something.

    What RPG's do you want to talk about?

    Savage Worlds. I just learned the system and having a great time. Just finished my Shadowrun conversion and looking forward to trying it this weekend.

    Gamer Guilt Over Potential Gaming Shift

    Switch to Savage Worlds. I just did this and I couldn't be happier. Like Scourger's posts above, your prep time will drop dramatically and you can focus on something besides stats. Your game and sanity will be saved. As to gameplay, its just as exciting and the players have just as many...

    4 Hours w/ RSD - Let's Have a Flamewar!

    I agree with the post, and its something I've been struggling with in my own game. I've dropped d20 and started playing Savage Worlds because of the complexity factor. I'm tired of the hyper-specialized characters and all the time spent on just trying to play the game by the rules. As to...
