    D&D 5E (2014) 2-year campaign coming to a close, closing thoughts

    Current version attached. Covers those questions, but in a nutshell, each round everyone commits to a PHB Action and rolls a single die based off that choice (e.g. I'm using my glaive, I'm retrieving an item from my backpack, I'm casting fireball). Everything else, including how to carry out...

    D&D 5E (2014) 2-year campaign coming to a close, closing thoughts

    In 3 decades of DMing, I've had 3 campaigns in any edition go 2+ years, 15+ levels, AND completion. This, for good or ill, will be #4 (even if there's failure, the campaign will have its own unique ending). We started a Kingmaker (5E conversion of a Paizo adventure path where players build a...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the best official campaign to start off with for first-time D&D players?

    Never Played Before: Lost Mines of Phandelver. It has prefab characters with ties to the region so people can just begin gaming, and a wonderful classic experience that's easy to run for DMs with little modification. It caps around 5th level, perfect for new folks. You'll overwhelm gamers if...

    TSR Wizards of the Coast Requests Injunction Against NuTSR

    Well, I was reading along and thinking "this isn't so bad..." Then I got to this part: And this: And this... Along with the ideas of racial superiority for white skinned, blue eyed people, with lastly the "subraces" of playing something that isn't white:

    D&D General The Case for Evil Orcs (Minor Rings of Power Spoilers)

    You don't have to "make a case." 500 people could consecutively post that "they think" drow-orcs-ogres-tieflings-demons-devils-mind flayers-chromatic dragons-yada-yada shouldn't be run as evil. At my table, in my campaigns, I'll run them as evil because my players, at my table, are playing...

    D&D 5E (2014) Players voting on each other's alignments?

    I think it was the language of your original post (even if not your intent) of: It may have sounded like players would be forced to go with the group vote.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you still roll a saving throw if you are immune to what you are saving against?

    Immune simply means you take no damage or are unaffected by a particular attack. It says nothing about removing the obligation to make a saving throw, nor do spells/effects say "make a saving throw unless immune." Common sense would say there's no point in rolling a saving throw if the target...

    D&D 5E (2014) Players voting on each other's alignments?

    If you think the idea would be fun and your fellow gamers agree, go for it. It's not unprecedented. AD&D Dragonlance had an alignment track where the DM could gradually shift a character towards the alignment they were playing versus declared. However, it'd be a better idea to treat this like...

    D&D 5E (2014) How specific is Commune with Nature?

    My group's 12th level druid routinely uses Commune with Nature, the capstone divination for his class. The information obtained strongly depends on the question asked. Ultimately, it cannot provide knowledge that nature wouldn't know. I like to provide information to players from the perspective...

    D&D General As GM, do you have bad guys kill downed PCs?

    I put "yes fairly often" not because it happens often, but because I make that "yes" decision most of the time with foes that would naturally kill off the PCs, such as ghouls. That all said, my players know this, and while they don't like characters dying, they are okay if it was a fair play as...

    D&D General One Piece of Art- What D&D Art Inspired You to Love a Class?

    As a DM, I don't often play. But damn if this Dark Sun art didn't make you want to play a Mul Gladiator, what else could... It captured everything Dark Sun sought to be. The exotic feel, struggle, raw strength, brutality, alien nature, desert world.
