I've always pronounced it TA-MO-A-KAN, with a hard "k" sound, and I like it better that way. I think I'm going to stick with it. :P

Yup. ;)

This is what I do. You can make +1 weapons/armor non-magical that are made by master crafters. Anything +2 or +3 would be magical. In my world, there are a select few master smiths who can make such weapons and armor, but you have to travel and find them. Or ask around big cities.

Here are some things I've learned: Expect to make mistakes, but don't sweat it. Everyone does, especially when starting out. Your players will have fun anyway, because role-playing games are fun. DM'ing is a bit of a skill, so you'll get better the more times you do it. Don't try to play your...

The best I know are these links to holidays and festivals. Holidays: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Holidays Festivals: http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Festivals That's the most I know. If you click on each individual holiday, it will give you a big list of how...

RP Davis gave you that handy link. If you also look in the second link, where I created the yearlong monthly calendar, I have the holiday names listed at the end of the month that precedes them. In other words, the day after Hammer 30th is Midwinter. The day after Tarsakh 30th is Greengras. Etc.

Yes, but it's not the VPN IP address only that's banned. It's the entire account, even when you log in using a normal IP address. And then getting that account restored is very hard to impossible to do. I find that policy to be a little on the extreme side, especially considering they don't do a...

Not a big fan of Twitch's policy on accounts. Be forewarned if you use a VPN, they will insta-ban your account simply by being associated with certain VPN IP addresses, even if you have don't nothing untoward whatsoever. In other words, create an account. A month later accidentally log in while...

It's quite subjective, but for me the best definition of a min/maxer is a person who puts optimization well ahead of a character's personality, background, quirks and other traits in terms of character creation, sometimes to the point where optimization is the only thing that's important and...

I made a simple month template for the Calendar of Harptos to use in my game. I plan to print out 12, one for each month, and put them in a binder, so I can track my players' progress and actions throughout the year, as well as track the seasons and what special holidays are coming up. (Since I...

What people have suggested are great. Let me add a couple: Didn't see anybody mention these, but Amber Castle and Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth are also great. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

Opinions vary. But even if you do love the 4e Realms, there just isn't a lot of detailed info about the various regions of the world like there was with the older Realms modules and material. I'm an older guy, but I'm not really a grognard because even though I played around with D&D a little...

Well, the elf NPCs and other long-lived races are still around. ;) But yeah, a lot of classic human and other NPCs from across Faerun are gone. And I liked Mirt the Moneylender, Khelben Blackstaff, and others. I don't think that just because books are written that alter the campaign universe...

Completely agree. It's a real shame they mucked around with the setting and advanced the timeline. So many classic NPCs gone. I just stick to the pre-4th edition Forgotten Realms and pretend like the changes they made to the Realms never happened. It means that I have to heavily modify any...

Except, most of the NPCs are long dead, and a lot of the political history of various places have changed. I hate, hate that they advanced the timeline 100 years and made so many changes to the Forgotten Realms. That's why I just stick with the 1369 or 1372 time of the Realms. There's also tons...

I think I'm a pretty decent DM, but without fail I learn things when I watch or participate in other games where someone else is the DM, and I've learned several useful things by watching this game. Also it's been really entertaining. I've laughed out loud a lot. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk

With regard to the first sentence under "Introduction," Tales From the Yawning Portal is the title of the book, so it should be capitalized. It is weird that each letter is capitalized, and some letters seem to be a larger font than others, but maybe that's just a design choice for the first...

I get what you mean, and hour-long videos would be nice. I appreciate that they sit down for long sessions and tape the whole thing. If they broke it up into hour-long episodes, they would have to insert breaks every hour into their play, and that might get annoying for them as players...

It can get silly at times, but not in the same way. They really get into their characters, have a fun time with each other, and and sometimes create some hilarious situations and banter. You should definitely check it out.

I think I've spotted the bard.
