Thethain found the reference in the current FAQ. Ultimately, the question is, 'can I refuse to take the rewards from a game I consider sketchy?' I see no reason that the answer can't be 'yes, as long as you log the game regardless'. Simply saying, 'I'm going to pretend I didn't play this game'...

I'm a fan of the Final Fantasy Tactics game myself, so this is an oddly interesting challenge. If you're trying to be faithful to the original class, though, there are a few things to consider: 1. In the original FFT game, the Dragoon job isn't available until after you've leveled in a number...

You've hit on a solid solution -- there's really no 'official' way to report this kind of play (which seems, from your description, to be a way around the rule that you only get rewards for playing a full chapter of a hardcover rather than individual encounters), but if you're uncomfortable...

Chaosium and their third-party publishers have always done a great job of evoking the feel of the Lovecraftian setting -- you don't get involved in Call of Cthulhu design unless you're already a pretty big fan, I suspect. But I can't agree when I see the BRP rules referred to as 'elegant'...

Good to know -- thanks for the response.

A good observation, since it is correct by the letter of what was written, but not by the spirit of it. Let's not get into this discussion again -- there are many things the rules don't cover: - How much falling damage do you take when falling into water? - What's the minimum hit point...

That's a good point, and it's even more significant at a con; at the FLGS, somebody probably just burned some gas and some free time to decide to try out your table, while at a con, that same player put down cash money to get a seat. (Though admittedly, as a con DM, you don't have to usually...

I was not aware that secret missions were tradable, especially on Facebook. See the section on 'Cheating' in the ALPG. Also the following in the ALDMG: "Make decisions about how the group interacts with the adventure; adjusting or improvising is encouraged, so long as you maintain the...

It's cool to get this info, but I'm not sure how the list of what's supposed to show up is made -- went into my FLGS this past Saturday, and they didn't have the Loremaster's Guide from last week's list, but they did have the Megaman Pixel Tactics card game from this week's list.

Sure, it's legal, but it's also perfectly obvious when you sit down at a table with that sort of character. Case in point -- the last session I ran at the FLGS, a player came in at the last minute and asked to sit in on our Tier 2 game. He only had a level 4 character, but that was OK, because...

Not only do I not see the PHB+1 rule changing, I also don't see a rebuild coming -- the EEPC rebuild option for higher level characters was not repeated for SCAG or Volo's, so I doubt it would be repeated with whatever book is coming out in the fall, assuming it's not a companion book for the...

I can't really defend the CoS AL adventures -- I reviewed them all on the AL board, though the reviews before DDAL 04-08 were lost in the Great Crash of Summer 2016. You can look over the surviving reviews below: DDAL 04-08 The Broken One (3 stars) DDAL 04-09 The Tempter (5 stars) DDAL 04-10...

OK, then -- problem solved!

I can understand the spirit of this interpretation, and it's even workable, given that every character should have dates on their character logs that identify the specific dates that they received the XP from an adventure (or other source, like a claimed DM Quest) so that a player should be able...

Actually, the FAQ doesn't say this at all: The FAQ defers discussion on how to choose your +1 to the ALPG, as noted in the original post in this thread, and explicitly says that all options when creating or advancing your character must come from your allowed rules. In other words, you must...

The problem with this argument is that the ALPG tells you to note your choice of +1 on your character log. It does not simply note that, if you've taken a character option from a non-PH source, then you are 'locked into' that source -- it explicitly tells you to select your rules source before...

In the current (6.0) Adventurer's League Player's Guide, players are allowed to choose a '+1' source for their character options, and the three current options (EEPG, SCAG, VOLO) are listed. Clearly, based on the wording of this section, a player is not required to choose an option. It also...

I believe the other demons are immune, based on the description of the chasme's Drone power -- as for the quaggoths, if you rule that they had to pass their saves earlier in the day to even patrol with the chasme, they'd already be immune (a successful save renders the saving creature immune for...

Might want to try this in the general 5e forum, since the AL forum is focused on running AL-legal adventures within the D&D Organized Play program, and a home-brewed locked-room mystery wouldn't qualify as AL-legal. Good luck! -- Pauper

Great (or sick) minds thinking alike? My first draft of this review had the adventure coming in at 3 stars, but in retrospect, since many of the complaints I have relate to other modules, I finally decided not to hold the weakness of the season against this module as much. As a straight dungeon...
