I don't think its worth it to roll a Wound for each Crit. There's a lot of crits and monsters don't usually last that long anyways. For me, it's more fun to just describe the death blow and move on.

I think the double trouble from the Critical hits is a bit much. I roll for Grievous wounds at 0hp. Players roll a d6 and the corresponding stat has Disadvantage to all rolls until healed or some weeks of rest.

EPIC!!!

Just flipped through it at the store. Looks better than I expected. A lot of art. A cool art appendix, even. More side adventures than I expected. There's a lot here to make a rea open endedl campaign of it, rather than a scripted "storyline". Can't wait for my order to arrive. Kinda wish...

I haven't used it yet, but I wrote of a "Dungeon Crawl Classics Warrior" class that is basically Fighter that uses a proficiency die and gets their choice of battlemaster maneuvers when the die is 4 or higher. Fighter Archetype: Warrior At 3rd Level the Deed Die replaces Proficiency 3rd =...

Cragmaw could have had a bit more to it. It basically became one big fight in my game. The wasn't a huge fan of the final dungeon either. The actual "forge of spells" didn't make much of an appearance. I think that making the forge an active part of the final battle would make things way...

These videos are a great advert for D&D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWU5iPjQpI&list=PLQOB_yCwC5J2m1lKNxYQfwyAhp2MRihAb

I don't know if its necessarily V, but I've swung towards being a lenient DM. My gf is at the table now and the advantage mechanic keeps things from getting out of control so I just sort of roll with whatever now. Like last night the guy playing a Monk was battling a thug in a flophouse and he...

Well, I think any given blow should only deal a single injury. Triggers shouldn't stack.

Here's what I've been using. I prefer to keep it abstract, though I did just add a possibility of specific injury after reading this. It's worked well in play, and requires a bit of a magic resource decision making. The thing about these types of critical wounds is that they can stack up...

I don' t have enough room at the table I've been using, but I miss it. My gf keeps looking at the map!

I guess the Red King could be a Death Knight or a Liche. Definitely out of the league of any adventurers I DM. On the other hand, I'm still learning thet 5e characters can handle some pretty high level foes given the right conditions.

I name all my characters after professional soccer players. Weird names from all over the world.

I haven't used it in my game yet, but here's the variation I've got going for the Alice character class. The only thing I've been wondering about for when my players to end up in the Red and Pleasant Land is how to roll with vampires. My conversion style so far has been to try to just use...

I have a friend playing a Warlock for her first D&D. It works well because she has only a couple spells and gets them back quickly. Also the fey pact gives her a lot of social power during rp.

I used to DM 4e and moved on to OSR stuff for the same reason as everyone else has said. It was GREAT for elaborate diorama style combats, but not so good for loose improv adventuring. Re: Spellslot tracking, the best thing I did for my noob players of wizards and clerics was give them a...

I'm thinking if I go with gold = xp, then I'll divide all the monster xp by 10. I really like that Wine Women and Song article linked above. Spending gold earns XP, limited only by time and how much you want to have on hand for worldly things, like new suits of armor. I think what I dig...

I'm playing a Half-Orc Ranger who is an Acoylte of a god of money. He's a tax collector.

Your lucky the DM didn't have that potion miscibility table from the DMG.

I was thinking of "Hammer of the Gods" but there are just so many options.
