So far in DMing 5E I've seen the most damage from an Oath of Vengeance Paladin (Vow of Enmity increases crit chance thanks to advantage). After that it's been a Rogue. Personally, when I DM I try to pick monsters according to the party's composition. Monks are highly mobile and can attack...

For those interested I've just learned that WizKids is releasing an Aspect of Tiamat miniature sometime in the next few months for a little over $100. It's not as big as the first one, obviously, but it's still 6 inches tall, which seems more than sufficient for representing Tiamat.

Last night I ran the final battle of my Underdark campaign I began in August 2020. The 15th-level party, made up of a dwarf bard/cleric, shadar-kai monk, kenku rogue, and dragonborn sorcerer, faced off first with Doresain (after defeating much of his ghoul nobility) and then with an only...

Thanks for this! I'd wanted to use the Ravenloft book for a while and wished there were some more published 5E adventures to go with it. Transporting these adventures to the Domains of Dread is a great idea.

So here's an idea regarding D&D providing more non-violent solutions for things: maybe it's partially because people have tons of options for video games where they can kill things, but not many where diplomacy or trickery is an option. TTRPGs have that edge over video games because in video...

Since people have brought up both the Book of Vile Darkness and Critical Role in this thread I thought I'd mention that the campaign Matt Mercer was running that eventually became the first series of Critical Role included elements from the Book of Vile Darkness. For example: That's some dark...

Looking at it, someone on the original Spelljammer team must have been a big fan of Japanese pop culture. Bionoids are clearly based on Guyver, there are Spirit Warriors that are insect-like mecha that characters can enter and pilot, and giant space turtles called gammaroids that spin like the...
