    New Issue of Dragon+

    You do realise that Expeditions can be run at any time at the store right? I dont run Expeditions at night (although many people do) , I run from a 11:30 am to 4pm in the afternoon on most Saturdays. Stores over in Victoria run from 6 to 10pm. Some stores in the US run them during the day during...

    New Issue of Dragon+

    To be honest I doubt it, in much the same way I doubted that there would ever be a Compilation of Living Greyhawk modules or Living FR scenarios into a book format. If you have seen Expeditions then you would know that they lack the polished mapping of your standard module that WOTC might...

    All AL Expeditions scenarios ARE essentially free. That dosnt mean that they afre freely available however. Stores get passwords on how to access them which they pass on to their in store dms and such.

    The supporting cast of Adventurers League: Why 'Evil' NPCS matter (Spoilers: Expeditions mostly)

    We are now into season 3 of AL and have seen more than 25 Expeditions scenarios go by ranging from Season 1 and the Dragon themed season to Season 2's elemental Evil and now Season 3's demon romp. For me as primarily a DM, Ive seen a fair few NPCS come and go. Some I thought would be more...

    AL Intro Pamphlet for Brand New Players

    I gave out the Quick start guide a while back until I ran out of printed copies. Most people actually looked over it at the table and left it behind (some took it with them).

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    Ill certainly play it by ear, as Ive stated in other threads Im not too good at judging party power until really Ive realised it but by then its too late. As you can see below there is a LOT of Arcane power there (nearly half the party). Clerics are VERY thin on the ground in my Area. The...

    Starting with Magic Items in OOA (Spoilers)

    If its magical armor or a weapon, then have one of the Drow Elites using it. Sure it might be non Drow make , but its still magical and nice and the Drow just have to have it. Also if you play the Drow overconfidence angle, and you want the players to get a rough idea of the buildings that...

    AL Intro Pamphlet for Brand New Players

    I would keep it at one page or 1 two side page. Anymore than that is too much and new players will simply either lose it easily. In place of that I actually just hand out my networking cards. Has the facebook group details for my local area, my mobile number and my email address. Ive picked up...

    D&D 5E (2014) Refusing To Heal Party Members?

    Ive just joined a game of Princes of the Apocalpyse . We are a 4 player table and have a Fighter, A Paladin , a Warlock (me) and a Wizard. So we cover Arcane, but have no Rogue or Cleric. We have to rely on the Paladins spells and Healers kits. I dont agree that every group needs a Healer. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) I don't want to homebrew anymore...

    Id second previous suggestions of a module. Modules are a great skeleton, although they appear more as a full body to others, i tend to think of them as the bones and we as a dm add the meat. Ive never been a homebrew person. Ive never had the will or the way to create a setting that is mine...

    D&D 5E (2014) Earth Genasi Warlock for Princes of the Apocalypse Campaign: Invocation Suggestions!

    Hi, Ive built a Earth Genasi Warlock for a friends Princes of the Apocalypse game. His background was that he was at a Monastery training to become a Monk. Strange guys in Armor made out of Earth attacked, killed everyone and looted the treasury. The character was also 'kiiled' but woke up...

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    Indeed. I tend to see a lot of panic situations. A) Monsters and Parties meet each other B) Players/characters stress over metagame concepts of Monster or in game issues with number/ type of monsters C) Party member goes down D) Accusations of 'this is too hard' or 'why did you do that' E)...

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    Thanks. Im just hoping it dosnt end badly for the group. They havnt worked too well as a team in the 1-4 games (feels a bit like an EPL club where there are lots of 'stars' on the team who all want to be the shiny ones). One druid who just spams moonbeam most battles.

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    These are obviously Spoilers.. > > > > > > > Im running Sword of Sefaril in late november (yeah a long way off) and was just looking over the scenario and the first battle with my 'average' party of 7. I noted the Veteran and 4 Knights. Im formulating up ways to use them properly (ie they...

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    Thanks Merric. I would of found it eventually ! :) . I also assume you meant page 347. Even after reading that section and the section on recharge abilities on page 11 it still is pretty vague about the use per day and recharge powers in terms on if they actually take an action to use. Is it...

    Running a 5-10 Tier game

    Hi, I very very rarely run a Tier 5-10 game (generally people cant turn up, or people complain to me about not running a 1-4 instead). Ive got a 5-10 coming up and would like some help where possible: Im looking at the stats for a Knight who has one of these: Leadership (Recharges after a...
