Strahd is trickier to run than any other Boss out there because he shouldn't be run like any other Boss out there. 1) He's bored. His universe is mostly shades and shadows. He doesn't have new things to entertain him, and that's part of his curse. There were several Ravenloft novels put out...

If the party keeps moving, this can frustrate Strahd for a little bit and buy some time, especially if they did some damage and he has to spend rounds regenerating. I don't see Strahd playing dumber than players, however, given his nature. If a player has a winning strategy, they don't just...

I put my notes on running Strahd (as is) in a Strahd thread, but in summary, in his castle he's near invincible because of his Lair ability to run through walls. He's a genius tactician and general. He can run through a wall, regenerate 100%, and come back. I played him hit and run. He'd come...

Waldenbooks store in the mall had the "Red Box." Looked cool. No idea what D&D was. It became my next birthday gift.

It's also really good to remember you had that effect! There was a thread here awhile back about "oops" moments players had when they forgot a life-saving feature.

Back in my day, in 3E, 68 points of damage would've killed ya. Kids these days have it easy.

Last session, the players spent some hard earned cash on a bag of holding. They advised, as a player group, that too many puzzles and obstacles in our last campaign were overcome by shoving people into the bag of holding (e.g. one person flies across a chasm). I advised that we were using some...

I'm running a 5E conversion of the original Dragonlance modules with the following from A5E: Character creation rules (modified for DL) Spells Equipment / Magic items Monsters (unless not in the A5E bestiary) I'm not using a ton of the extra rules (e.g. exploration, travel, maintenance...

I love this one!

They choose how to carry out the Action, but they can't change it in a declare system. Not saying my numbers are perfect, but it speeds up the game a ton, and it's really rare a player can't do anything from actual play because players are surveying the battlefield and anticipating what could...

Thought I'd share from last session and see if anyone else has a story to share. Running a 5E conversion of Dragonlance, and at the bottom of Skullcap the 6th level party tangled with a CR10 wizardly apparition, immune to normal weapons. Skullcap was a ruined centuries-old base where the wizard...

The Level Up Advanced 5th Edition main book has "crit" and "fumble" charts for skill checks (so you'd have to get the book). We use them often, and they only can occur in "when it counts" situations. Jumping across a shallow creek with no real penalty or a climb check for a 10' fall wouldn't...

Making all Perception a save denigrates the Expertise feature, and I'm not sure what we're gaining if we make it a saving throw other than to reduce the ridiculously high levels that some characters can get Perception to. Personally, I don't like using Perception a lot anyways, so your example...

An adventure spanning the multiverse involving the League of Malevolence giving you the chance to play heroes with godlike powers to fly, react inhumanly fast, wear invincible armors, and shrug off wounds that would kill normal mortals, and even play animals that walk, talk, and use human tools...
