    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lakefiltrate (Terrin) While others watched or spoke among themselves, Terrin examined the obelisk, shining light on its weathered surface of runes and strange markings. He quickly concluded that it was Elvish. Much of the symbols were magic - wards and seals - but some were words. Though...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I think a creative plan is in order. My idea was to let you go to L5 when the overall party has TWO of the Bhaalite Idols. So... maybe soon, but not before the Hydra needs to be dealt with. Of course, you don't HAVE to necessarily fight it (or at least, not to its death).

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    Right! And this is how these work, so I think the word is appropriate. Call them Adventures and you have the confusion we are seeing in this thread. Myself, I think that these are great, and I welcome this increased variety to the way DM material is presented. We have plenty of fully...

    D&D General Hours actually playing RPGs, D&D?

    Yeah, I have no idea either. My best guess is that it takes (on average, it can wildly vary) about a month of real time to run the equivalent of a two-hour session. And this is at a decent rate! They can lag (and even fall apart, clearly).

    D&D General Hours actually playing RPGs, D&D?

    I play about 9 hours per week, in 3 to 4 games, and that's not including my PBP games here on ENWorld (because they were outlawed by the OP, which is fair - they take sooo much more time than "normal" games do).

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Four, but yeah - the job is to collect them up and use them to break into the central vault, which is where the Staff is expected to be. The Idols double as the "keys" that disable the wards that are placed on the Vault. Imani discovered all of this through extensive research.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    It IS pretty frustrating to SEE them on pallets for three weeks in a row, only to be told that they don't trust me not to break street date, so I can't have any yet, and then watch as everyone online gets theirs in the mail directly from WotC, yeah.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    D&D 5e 2024 is absolutely selling great. I fully believe that anyone who claims otherwise is... let's say, using "wishful thinking". That said, I have to admit, that I'm starting to agree with @Mark Craddock. I'll explain: When I first heard Mark make the claim (a long time ago now) that D&D...

    It could be, like I suppose that it once was, short for "Modular Adventure".

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    A single session's worth of material! Honestly, it's about time that things were written for that timescale. I still don't like the term "Adventure" for that, but I guess that it fits. It reminds me of the word "Module", which some of us old folks still use interchangeably with "Adventure"...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lakfiltrate (Team "Fusion"?) The individual in question, Stryke, returned to the new gathering. It was clear that he was somewhat uncomfortable being around more surface-world strangers, but he was satisfied that the numbers might make the upcoming task more achievable. He said, when...

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    I think the map makes for a very, very interesting multi-part encounter. I'll acquiesce that it can be seen as more than a single encounter, but I still don't think it should be called an "Adventure". Looks like we might need some new words to describe the scales between Encounter, Adventure...

    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    I think the format is fine, and it is a pretty cool encounter! However, I agree with others that this shouldn't ever be called a free "Adventure". It is a free Encounter, slottable into any adventure, and it should be celebrated for what it is.

    I should have my Judgement up sometime Friday. I've got to write my conclusion, and give it all a re-read, but I'm almost done.

    D&D General An Alexandrian Pantheon for D&D

    My buddy @Kobold Stew might have some insight, as he knows a thing or two on this subject, I suspect. ... Once he knows that it's not about the fellah who calls his Blog "the Alexandrian".

    I am about halfway done. Stuff came up Mon/Tue. I started working on it again this morning, but got nowhere before my wife needed help with something and ran out of time before heading to work. It's top of my mind, though! You'll see it soon, I think.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lake & Team Infiltrate The Kayaks were not heavy, but the were somewhat awkward, occasionally scraping on the walls, or tipping sideways when carried over the uneven and steeply-plunging ledge-trail. Loklafd was at the front of the train, with one hand on a kayak's bow, and the other...
