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

    Not to be "too" defensive...is that in print from an AL admin? "My understanding" for D&D 5e is that all the realms are tied together. Heck, I even ran into some servants of Kyuss at WF. I thought the Far Traveler background fit well for that premise. It also might work well that the mists...

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

    So as an old Ravenloft fan, my first toon will be a Warlock with the Undying patron. He'll be a Far Traveler background from Darkon with Azalin as a patron. The mists have recently allowed him to escape into Phlan which shouldn't have happened and they have moved him back but into Barovia. I'll...

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    Actually a lot of people my way are excited about the story but the organizers and traveling players are dreading it. I can't imagine what scheduling and play will be like at Origins. I think 6 months is too short of time for 14 mods like this. It's certainly easier given that it only goes to...

    Winter Fantasy 2016 and D&D AL

    Our table at T2 was fairly challenging. We didn't have an over optimized group so some encounters were fairly brutal (even on normal mode). No one at our table (including our judge) understood the map on the wall and what the colors (locked or unlocked meant) meant. We just kinda played...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    wow...!?! I think it has been reiterated many times, this is not her closure story...you should do some more background checking. Just because you decide to role play something doesn't entitle you to something extra....she was perfectly capable on her own before you showed up. You have to...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Many of the critical events certainly seem to be "lead" by the mod. I try to play them before I run them and in many cases, there really wasn't a choice. I do like mods where there are multiple paths which can certainly affect the method of getting the deed done...in that I think those mods are...

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I'm about a 6 hour drive from WF and Gencon - usually $500 each once everything is divided up. Gencon in Milwaukee was 11 hours but cost less. When WF was in New Jersey, that was 7 hours. Is it worth a few special events: yep I'll do both the AL and PFS specials.

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    Actually, myself and the group I travel with would not attend WF, Origins or Gencon if it wasn't for special events. (We've been attending Gencon since the Milwaukee days - and well, ... Spy Bar)

    AL VS LFR of 4th and why I'm so disappointed

    I somewhat agree with the OP on this one, but not in regard to LFR. I started back in the Living City Days (i.e. cert collection phases). I think Living Greyhawk for the first 2 years was incredible (maybe just me). But it later simply got out of control...many adventures were still written...

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    Given a whole year of Season 4 stuck in the mists theme, any chance of having some sporadic standard mods through out? Maybe following up on the previous seasons' stories....

    Season 4 Curse of Strahd and Adventurers League

    awesome...looking forward to it. I'm an old Ravenloft fan. We'll see by mid season how the "continuous aspect" works out. For new players just getting in it may be a problem but we can also add pre-season 4 stuff. Is the intro for only level 1 then? (got lots of DM credit for a new character).

    Legality of AL adventures on Dungeon Masters Guild

    The bigger cons work through their Venture Captains and aren't usually charged. For smaller cons, it's hit or miss but usually the VC's get them.

    Makeing new Duergar Ranger

    I got that. Not trying to be argumentative, but the weight rules don't work out for most cases. Do we just ignore the weight restrictions? A dragonborne weighs 300#... Lets take the intent of having a Duergar riding the cert'd steeder. It's carry capacity is 225# (15 str x 15). A typical Dwarf...

    Winter Fantasy Roll Call

    Track A Characters: Kazik - Evocation Thayan Wizard 8 (DDAO 1 and 4 - ideally) or Numeon - Cleric / Warlock tank 8 (DDEX 3-15 ideally) or Sevatar - War Cleric of Bane 8 (DDAO-2 ideally) or Seraph - Life Cleric of Bahamut 8 I can run any of the above but I'd like the wizard in the list as...

    Makeing new Duergar Ranger

    Steeder Mount: You have acquired a male Steeder from a Duergar trader as a unique pet, mount, animal companion or wildshape form. Your steeder is capable of carrying one Small or Medium humanoid with an exotic saddle. It seems odd that this wouldn't fulfill the requirement for the Find Steed as...

    Makeing new Duergar Ranger

    That's some interesting perspectives... <Sorry if I hijack this thread but a similar concept for AL.> Duergar Paladin using find stead but using the Steeder Mount cert from Gencon. Any reason that that cert couldn't be substituted for the "mount" aspect of the spell? Also, could I purchase the...

    Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide

    3 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide Opening background is thought out and well done. Many locations have generic maps to allow a DM to jump in. A lot of the story that a player could use is semi informative but just not deep enough to fully vet out. The deity section is...
