    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    We'll be taking at least the next two weeks off. One player's going on vacation (Smugly) and another one is taking a coding class (Moss). The PCs are in rough shape, and they still have a hard encounter in front of them. Thalion, Roos, and Skarther are very low on Hit Points. Darsha and...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    I revised The Yester Hill Chapter using notes from "Raising the Stakes" CoS supplement (I donated $5 for it) I enjoyed doing it, but ridiculous amount of rewriting and rethinking. The spacing is weird because it's formatted to be printed. Here it is:

    D&D General Which edition handled alignment best?

    What's the difference between BECMI vs B/X? They're both three alignment systems, AFAIK. Anyway, I picked BECMI.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    Players changed their minds and decided to visit the winery, so I was only half prepared to run this. Also, this was a cakewalk for five 5th level characters as written.

    Wizard of Wines Previously: Thalion and Ireena were invited to dinner by the Baron Vargas for uncovering the plot to steal St Andral’s Bones. Other members of the Gang tagged along posing as servants. The dinner was cut short when Izek, the Baron’s Henchman, attempted to capture Ireena...

    WotC Mike Mearls: "D&D Is Uncool Again"

    Have we figured out how many angels that can balance dance on the head of a pin yet?

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    I changed it to make it clear to the players that she's related to Kolyan and Ismark. I think that naming style would be lost on some of the players and just confuse them. The players are awesome, but some of them aren't always listening especially after a couple of drinks. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    Izek and Baron Vargas Previously: The Gang, Thalion in the lead, was tracking down the stolen bones of St Andral. They had learned that the culprit was Henrik the Coffin Maker. Thalion got him to confess in front of the coffin maker’s shop, where a crowd of onlookers and guards were gathering...

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    This is first that I have heard that particular reason for the number of Vampire Spawns at the Coffin Maker Shop but that makes a lot of sense. I would've reduced the number ahead of time if I knew that that was the case. I've already reduced the monsters in Bonegrinder from Night Hags to Green...

    D&D General What modules have you reused for multiple campaigns

    B10 Night's Dark Terror I've run it in full once, but I've repurposed whole chunks of that module multiple times. Used lots of the small dungeons. The Wolf Goblin Lair is a good one. I put the hattaki valley in the Isle of Dread because the Rakasa were searching for it.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    Here’s some background that I had to develop because of last session. If I don’t give the players some noncombat options, then they’re going to be wiped by 6 vampire spawns. Plus, I need to start planning for the invitational dinner. If things get boring, then I might throw Izek at them, so I...

    D&D General Do you track ammunition?

    The players in our group track normal ammo, in theory. I'm not sure if they really do. They track special ammo (silvered and the rest).
