A question just to stir the pot: In a home game that nobody is going to profit from and no outsiders are going to see, is there an ethical difference between generating AI art for various characters and using copyrighted images from the internet?

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone! Someone pointed me to the Painted Phantasm (CR 7) in Tome of Foes 3, so I wound up using that (actually, two of them) for this encounter. But my party is going to be infiltrating a wizards' stronghold soon, so I expect to need more spellcasting foes soon...

Speech to text?

Got a link, by any chance? What's insane about it? I think it's great!

Not to be a broken record, but the Adventurer's League adventures are short and official, and while they range from excellent to terrible, there are quite a lot that are decent quality or better.

Here's a cool monster you could throw in (CR 4):

Either would work. If it's insubstantial, I could give it resistance to non-magical weapon damage. If you know of any, yes, please suggest them! I have a party of six level 6 PCs, so, something that would be appropriate for them.

Yes, I'm currently playing in a campaign about a world where magic has been only available to the Evil Empire and we're fighting against them. However, the DM has been making magic items available to us, and I would encourage your DM to be thinking about giving you more magic items (and earlier)...

I have a session coming up this weekend where the PCs (level 6) will be fighting a construct--a portrait of a mage that has come to life. I could homebrew this from the ground up, but I feel like there is probably something like it out there already. Can anyone suggest an existing monster...

But wouldn't a campaign creation guide also be another book to buy?

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I like campaign creation guides. I just question whether such a book reaches the level of essential-ness to make it qualify as a fourth core book.

And apparently do so without a campaign creation guide?

I don't think so. What if you're planning on running mostly published adventures?

I don't think you need a campaign creator's guide in the same way you need, say, a monster manual. A campaign creator's guide would be more of a niche thing that some GMs would benefit from and others not.

Have you checked out ENworld's En5ider? Might scratch the same itch, although it comes out as individual articles.

I'm glad you're covering this campaign. It's quite solid and deserves more love.

Ah, got it.

Wow, so the PCs can never be caught off guard, ever? I don't want to shut down that much potential story.

Do you mean the cover art? I wouldn't call that "lovingly fondling." If you're thinking of the "Illusion of the Decapus" illustration, it's pretty tame (though it was the cause of some hand-wringing at the time), and also, you don't actually see the decapus in it.

You more likely ran the reworked adventure with the green cover. It's much easier to find.
