While I understand the reasoning behind this post - I vehemently disagree (personal opinion). As an avid Ravenloft and gothic horror fan, I can say for the record that knowing how to escape (or where) hugely deflates the tension, uncertainty, and anxiety that the player should be experiencing...

The DMs Guild notifies people whenever there is an update to a file they have purchased. If you buy an adventure, you don't have to keep checking for an update - you will be informed via email if there is one.

Whether a beast can make unarmed strikes or not is something not covered by the rules - as unarmed strikes themselves are almost unmentioned outside of a single entry in the combat section, references in the martial arts ability, a clarification/correction in the PHB errata, and I believe one...

It should be up some time during the week of March 4th. Specific time is TBd

To save any further argument on this issue, I will forward this issue up the chain and get an official response.

With that being said however - I don't even know why this is a debate in the first place. If a DM needs an encounter, there are plenty of random encounters in each hardcover (and even in Lost Mines) that can be substituted legally - with no issue. Simply pick a random encounter that fits the...

Actually, in respect to the 6-person tent situation - that was never my opinion (my opinion would have been to allow mundane gear with no rules associated with them, thereby allowing other DMs to determine how they functioned at their table). I was actually quoting numerous comments from RCs and...

On a related note, does this mean that characters will have fewer opportunities to use downtime between adventures? As you yourself said, 4-4 happens the morning after 4-3 (meaning there is zero downtime between adventures). Will the ALPG or the adventures reflect this in some fashion or are we...

The DM rewards in particular are undergoing considerable revision for Season 4 - the specifics of which are not yet available. What I can tell you is that the admins and campaign staff have heard the concerns/criticisms/feedback/suggestions, and that the issue has been discussed at length among...

I should add that I make every possible attempt to give accurate information on this forum, and not give misleading advice. If it was a case of my opinion, I would state it as such. If it is a ruling that has multiple interpretations, I would state "expect table variation" and "this is subject...

You are reading more into the article than what was actually intended. Yes, Type is a defined term in 5E, although Arthur himself used the word in a common way, as in synonymous, identical, etc. I haven't spoken with Arthur for quite a while since he stepped down as RC, but I did discuss his...

Also, the hashtag is intended to be used exclusively on FB (and I believe, Google+ and Twitter, but don't quote me on the last two). It is not intended to be used in forum posts.

Please see Rise of Tiamat FAQ entry (which is perhaps the best example to use in this case, given the fact that the adventure lacks sufficient XP to reach the indicated levels, giving DMs strong impetus to add encounters to make up the deficit), as well as the following quote from Art's article...

When I mention that, I am quoting an article on the AL website called DMing and DM Empowerment - which provides a list of do's/don'ts to DMs when it comes to adjusting encounters, and was written during season 1 by Arthur Severance (former RC for Far West region). In particular, I am...

Being armless/legless in AL is mostly just flavor. The mechanical implications are limited to being only able to hold one object (weapon/shield/tool/focus) and being unable to wield 2h weapons - and only subject to DM fiat. Optional rules in the DMG are largely ignored in AL (the only one that...

Fixed. Characters cannot use downtime activities during an adventure (only at the end of the adventure/episode).

I must be an incredible rarity at your store then - as I am playing a Forest Gnome Trickery Cleric/Transmuter

In AL however - the DM is not allowed to add encounters nor are they allowed to substitute enemies. However with that being said - between adjusting tactics, starting positioning and readiness, and monster numbers - I find I can scale the difficulty considerably.

If you print the logsheets, use AL-legal characters, and run the adventure generally as written you should be fine. You can scale encounters up or down by adding/removing the same creature(s) (you cannot substitute different creatures however), but unlike the DDAL adventures, there is no exact...

You do realize that natural attacks (eg. claws) aren't unarmed strikes right? While a bear might be capable of making unarmed strikes (subject to DM interpretation), you would not gain the benefit of multi-attack when doing so (and these would be your normal d4+X attacks). In addition, martial...
