    Requesting Death House help - SPOILERS AHEAD - DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT DMING

    I have a theory that Elizabeth sacrificed Gustav after she found out about the Child belonging to the Nursemaid. Maybe he mortally wounded her also and thats how they both became Ghasts.

    Requesting Death House help - SPOILERS AHEAD - DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT DMING

    Its possible the Parents were Ghasts early on. Perhaps the conversion to Undeath in the Ghast transformation (and we are never entirely sure how much Ghouls/Ghasts remember of their previous life) means that yeah The Dursts DID forget their children were locked up. We also never find out how...

    Not Got Strahd Yet & Still Want Previews?

    Kinda reminds me of a friend of mine that plays SW: Xwing (minis game). Fantasy Flight Games uses Good Games Australia as the reseller/distributor in Aus also and there is ALWAYS clogs in Prize support where the blame game occurs. Good Games Aus blames FFG, FFG blames Good Games Aus.

    Not Got Strahd Yet & Still Want Previews?

    What I find weird is Good Games Australia is WOTC's seller/distributor in Australia. So they provide their own stores/franchises with product and effectively competitors stores with product and often the competitors store has better prices than their own stores.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sunlight in Barovia vs Sunlight Sensitivity

    Id probably keep the Sunlight issues for pcs. Barovia itself falls to the whims of its Darklord and I dont see Strahd giving any interloper a free ride. So while he gets the full beneifts of a warm bright Barovian Afternoon, I wouldnt let a Drow or Duergar do so. Savage: When I ran Death...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd: PCs are from where? [pls no spoiler]

    Yeah Im not a fan of having Native characters. Esp for a story like this I think it dilutes somewhat the appeal and mystery of the setting. I dont have to explain Barovia to a non native interloper because they dont know. I know a lot of people really just seem all that native stuff is added...

    D&D 5E (2014) Barovia's world

    There is no reason why the Prime Plan where Barovia was ripped from would have the same levels of horror. Strahd and his realm were ripped from their place (or were they? Remember the Dark Powers are able to REPLICATE someones homeland even down to providing them with people. They are actually...

    Not Got Strahd Yet & Still Want Previews?

    Yeah I think it came out during or just after PAX, I picked it up from Games Laboratory the day it came out. Im not sure if that was an exception or a rule though. And of course being in Perth adds about 10 years to wait times.

    What is the ceiling on playing a habitual liar in Adventure League?

    I say go with it. If you get a good table of players/characters it will probably work very well, and if it was my table.. Id encourage you to do it in game. Ive got a Wizard who manage to convince a dinner party in Mulmaster that he was a Zor. He rolled so damn well that the lie continued into...

    New DM Quest Rewards available on DM's Guild

    Im yet to download the DM Rewards, but am guessing the flood of people posting selfies with the sheet is a reward? I was gonna wait until the corrections were made. To be honest, I did some calculations the other day am Im rocking 4 characters now who have been DM Credit'd to 4-5th level. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Feathergale Spire: The players want revenge!

    THe group Im playing in has 'cleansed' the Keep, Monastery and Spire. We were actually leading refugees from the Monastery to Womford when we found out it was now Lake Womford. Big assed lake where the town used to be. Its caused most of us to want to target the Water cult first (now that we...

    What is the ceiling on playing a habitual liar in Adventure League?

    Meta gaming is dependant on the quality of players you have (not neccesarily experience indicates this either). Ive been in groups of loooong time players who were poor metagamers and long time groups that were really really good. You really only find the metagame level when you get to the...

    What is the ceiling on playing a habitual liar in Adventure League?

    Byakugan: Ive had a AL character in one of my games who wont kill. He ALWAYS does non lethal and wont fight critters he cant knock out. I dont get to see him often but I would not class him as a murderhobo. I love Notes as a DM. I sometimes hand them out RE: THe Nightmares I gave people during...

    Thoughts on running Death House

    Ive run Death House twice now as a 'launch' event of sorts. (I actually wasnt intending on running it, but then Suits got delayed and that sorta screwed up my plans). I ran it at two different locations on Saturdays. I basically said 'We have 4.5 hours. Im going to run as much as I can in...

    AL and Deep Gnomes

    Locally I tend to only find races from the PHB in use. My Out of the Abyss game started with 2 Duergar and a Drow but due to drop outs and player poachings , Ive now got humans and a smattering of elves/half orc. I also run Expeditions and have seen a single Deep Gnome who was played more like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd price in Canada

    Dont feel too bad, its hideously expensive in Australia too. So much so that when I asked the price at my LGS, they had no idea (which is normally a sign that they are worried the price will put me off)

    What sort of character will you build for Curse of Strahd?

    I built a Cleric for Death House and Out of 17 players at our event I was the only one. OOOOOH so many Rogues and Paladins. 2 wizards, no Sorcs, no monks,
