    D&D 5E (2014) Modding Lost Mine of Phandelver for younger kids

    I give you my cautionary tale: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?466835-Very-little-kids-take-D-amp-D-VERY-seriously But seriously - I'm playing with a 7, 5 and 3 year old and they love it. The 7 year old chose to be a wizard and we did some simple character generation and he chose...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    So, Aimn Lu is now an NPC, but may come back to the adventure later. His player is rolling up a new character. Aimn Lu was a favourite character of this player, and he didn't want to lose him, but he felt he needed to take the character in the direction he would naturally go. So yes - in that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Secret Session 34 - In which any of my players stop reading now (if any of you are reading this). This is an e-mail back and forth between the player who's character is Aimn Lu, after Aimn Lu was captured in the Earth Temple. *As told to Aimn Lu....* You are scooped up and carried by some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Session 33 In which the party flee from the earth temple, to the water temple, back to the earth temple and then back to the water temple. In which everyone nearly dies and they lose one member of the group. The heroes progress down a long corridor, but strangely they find themselves unsure...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse Adventure Hooks

    I really didn't like any of the hooks provided, so I didn't use them. It worked out fine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Number of Goodberries - 10 or 1D10??

    Ah - my apologies then to Rune

    D&D 5E (2014) Number of Goodberries - 10 or 1D10??

    If others have the same screen colour as me then it is an easy mistake to make and you have put a pretty good disguise on your name. The name "Rune" blends into the background colour making it hard to see. The most prominent words are "Silver Defender". Maybe you should consider changing the...

    D&D 5E (2014) First-time DM - having trouble with Princes of the Apocalypse

    Also, I found this thread has helped me immensely as the campaign has gone on: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?444419-Princes-of-the-Apocalypse-campaign-recaps Seeing how other people do it is always useful.

    D&D 5E (2014) First-time DM - having trouble with Princes of the Apocalypse

    Don't panic! Think about what you would like to happen and make it up. You don't even have to prepare, making it up on the spot is fine - although I like to have a couple of bullet points written down as reminders. Also - the players may end up doing something totally unexpected. Just roll with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Prince of the Apocalypse - Order in which elements are encountered

    It really can be any order, and you may encounter the leaders earlier than you think (or later). It really is sandboxable (ooo have I made a new word) enough that depending on your DM you may end up going in a totally different direction than anyone (including the DM) expects.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Here is the latest installment, mostly in the earth temple, partly in the fire temple. https://deathgrind.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/earth-and-fire And yes, I railroaded. I'm not proud.

    D&D 5E (2014) Roll20 Launches 5e SRD Character Sheets and drag and drop

    Good news for DMs like me that use Roll20 a lot: https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20 This will make prep a whole lot easier. The new character sheet is so much more simple to read and to use than the old one too. What's more, it enables me to use any monster as a template, as...

    DM Advice

    I agree. Definitely use the pre-gens. Character creation ain't that fun until you understand the basic concepts of the game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Last nights my players continued on their off topic exploration of local deserted mines. Mine Two - The Mines of Madness. They got slammed by a bunch of traps but found lots of magical treasure. Eventually decided that they weren't going to find what they were looking for without getting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    I really enjoyed that. I loved the cut-scene, and it's great that your players are really thinking about how to succeed without just barging in and fighting.

    DM's Guild: One Week In - The Best & The Worst

    As a consumer only, I will be reviewing the one product I bought. But as it is an adventure I'm waiting till I finish it first. My players are about halfway through. I'd hope more consumers will review once they have had a chance to actually use what they got - it hasn't been open long.

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse campaign recaps

    Some very good ideas in there. Thank you, I'll use some of them for my players when they return to the temple (if they go back that way). At the moment my game has gone completely off track with the group deciding that the 'Swords of Liberty' must be holed up in an abandoned mine near the town...

    I had four 5th level characters. Quite a bit lower than yours. They were lucky to survive. They were lucky to not have a TPK.

    D&D 5E (2014) 3d6 in Order

    Urgh: Str 12, Dex 10, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 14 I think that would make a quite useable Half-Elf Bard from the College of Valor. That would change the scores to: Str 13, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 16 It also means that with the Jack of All Trades ability and extra...
