The very first goblins cave in Lost Mines of Phandelver can be an excellent standalone. Just put them outside the entrance and let them know "You are tracking a friend who was kidnapped by goblins. You need to try and get him back. After a day of following goblin tracks through a forest you come...

My rule of thumb is that if the players identify something that doesn't really make sense your best reponse is, "yes, that is interesting isn't it? I wonder why." The players will assume that they have been clever to see what you were hiding, come up with a number of theories to explain the...

Following. I'll be basing this in Sharn.

I'm gonna. Upon completing the book your wisdom score increases by 2 permanently.

I'm interested. I read the 5e DMs guide precisely once, from cover to cover. It was OK but nothing of real use for running games for me. I had thought that I wouldn't buy another DMs guide, but maybe I will.

Yeh, I did quite a bit of adjustment of these, cut out some that were not as good and changed them all to fit my PC's background. My group was part of the Boramar clan, so there was an organised crime slant to everything.

Here's our campaign journal (from one characters point of view) in case it is useful to you: Roll20 - Virtual Tabletop for Playing D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, TTRPGs It got as far as the characters getting into Thelanis (the Feywild) and then stopped. For some reason I never enjoy...

Try The Convergance Manifesto from the DMs Guild. Some really good stuff across Eberron and throught the Eberron planes of existence. Starts and ends in Sharn though.

It was the Red Basic D&D Box set, The Keep on the Borderlands and The Isle of Dread (for me in 1980)

Zoom in to Elminster/Mordenkainen in a wizards tower mixing vials. He looks up at the camera. "Oh, it's you. Well I have a job for you". Cut to black.

I don't think any edition of D&D has gotten skills right. I'd love to see a complete overhaul of this.

That was just a thematic guess on my part :)

This site does lots of generated names from different cultures. This one probably works for you : https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/ethiopian-names.php

Yup, those specific people didn't think that through. But that's no reason to disparage an entire generation.

Sounds like a fun table to game at :/ My experience is that Gen Z and Millenials are so much more intelligent, more aware and generally better people than people of my generation (Gen X). Sure they play D&D differently to me, but they have not been bogged down with decades of obscure rules and...

I think D&D has much better systems now, but not nearly as much experimentation and raw imagination.

Yes. Death always has to be on the table to give that tension. I've had entire campaign threads derailed because the character at the centre of that thread died. That's just the way things go sometimes and I will try and bring aspects of what I had planned back in, or use the consequences of...

I loved every aspect of that adventure except the conclusion (Tiamat) which just seemed a bit generic compared to the rest of it.
