    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Thinking of you, and though I have an impression, I can't say that I "know" you at all, really, so correct me if I'm wrong: I think that, were you to buy this box set, you'd have use for: 1) The three Adventure books (these are flimsy pamphlets, but they pack a lot in there). 2) The NPC Cards...

    D&D 5E (2024) Teos talks about using the hero’s of the Borderlands Starter Box to run games.

    Makes sense. As a follow-up: All this had me sign up for the "free" part of a number of patreons. I'm not agianst paying for them, but I'm curious as to how much I'd actually take the time to read or watch their content. I've noticed that many of them (IDK if I'm specifically speaking of yours...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Phandelver Starter was $20 USD or between 25 and 30 CAD depending on when we're talking about during the ~decade it was around. (Mostly $27). But this thing has a significantly increased cost of components. It probably wouldn't matter to YOU, Micah, because it's unlikely that you'd care much...

    They are the exact same MSRP. My store sells both for $65.99 CAD.

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

    Stryke nodded to Terrin and said, "He may come to his senses, if he has any sense, and inform the others where we have gone." He put his hand on Copper's shoulder and said, "Join me in executing a thalak'vel - what you would call an ambush? If I can borrow a bow or at least a javelin or two?"

    That will only work if you use the same basic tactic that he's using, but in reverse. Seeing as he is currently out-of-sight, you'll have to find a place to hide, wait for him to start following you again, and then shoot him and run for the next pace of cover. I'm not sure that there's any way...

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    I'll call a couple of folks who have entertained me competed in the past - @Kobold Stew & @Snarf Zagyg - do you fellahs have time for Iron DM?

    Iron DM 2025 Scheduling Thread!

    No, the Adventures are meant to be more like "general outlines" than they are fully-statted finished products - and they have always been for a variety of genres, not just D&D, and certainly not just WotC. Heck, some of us have made up the game that the adventure is meant for. @Snarf Zagyg even...

    Yes, yes it is! Snarf (Shamal) has one, and you are looking for a total of four. They are made from the obsidian-like rock of Blackpeak, and are, IIRC, about a foot tall.

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

    Team Lake Aywin was struggling to shove off the kayak, wedged in a tight spot in the fast-flowing tunnel. He was somewhat distracted with Svetlana, who was still exploring various parts of the Lake. Thankfully, Shade-9 made the difference, and their kayak came free, finishing its journey down...

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

    Yup, that does the trick. I'm always surprised by how easy it is (for others, not for myself) to get my morale back in check. I've been trying to teach my wife for 20+ years that all she needs to do when I'm low is to say "You got this!" She isn't very good at it (my kids are, though...

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

    Team Infiltrate (on the run) Stryke led the group up a steep slope and through a wide cave-mouth, as the fanatical cultist sent another bolt of fire that exploded on a nearby wall, thankfully missing everyone. The cultist fell behind as they climbed into an open chamber. The dim light of the...

    Team Caves Shamal and Urgan both targeted the Houndsman with their particular magic, which seemed to cause the crystals around them to glow increasingly brighter. "Those crystals are unstable, you fools!" called the wizard Valendra as she moved further away from them and cast a spell of her...

    I feel us slowing down, and I don't want it to happen. Ideally, I'd like a post-rate of 2-3 posts per week from all of you, and that would mean quite a bit more from me. I'm absolutely partly responsible. Time sometimes gets the better of me (for example, I've been prepping a big multi-table...
