    D&D 5E (2014) Has anyone tried or theorycrafted a Joe / Jane average party?

    The closest thing I've done is have a vignette side-adventure where the PCs take control of some of their favorite low-level NPCs and have a short adventure (like the innkeeper who owns an exotic pistol, the 3-legged dog-hero of the community, and a married couple that fought as one). But as a...

    D&D General Adventure Prologues

    Every campaign. Recent examples: Kingmaker. Instead of starting out with the preset campaign hook of "you have a charter to explore the frontier and take out bandits," I ran a pure roleplay prologue where players invented how they were invited to the wedding of a Baron (based off a real...

    Spell changes from 5E to A5E 1.0

    Document lays out parameters for spells being assigned to major changes, minor, none (cosmetic), new or removed. The actual spell text is not included because that'd be cheating.

    D&D 5E (2014) Vote for Todays Best Adventures for Use in 5E

    I'm going with the ones I know, but really it's highly subjective. A good DM can take a weak adventure and turn it into quality entertainment. A good DM can take a great adventure and make it something classic. The original ratings were largely based on novelty in design, whether it be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anticipatory Movement

    It seems your main concern is the ability of anyone to just run by enemy lines and attack the back ranks with impunity. 1. Tracking monsters could be a pain for the DM. If you have 15 orcs, you're having to track who used what reactionary movement and when. 2. If a monster or class has a bonus...

    Level Up (A5E) Changes in 5E to A5E spells

    Friends (c). Boost. It's actually really useful now. If you have roleplaying going on. Giant Insect (4). Same quality of spell, still not sure anyone really uses it. Goodberry (1). Nerf, and the spell needed it imo as it kills the "survival/exploration" aspect of the game too easily for 1st...

    Level Up (A5E) Changes in 5E to A5E spells

    Yuck, missed that. That's a terrible change. I thought maybe I was misreading, but nope. I can't think of one player who would waste a 6th level slot in my groups on it.

    Level Up (A5E) Changes in 5E to A5E spells

    Next, my take on page 1 of the "Major" overhauls as I saw them: Animate Objects (5). Nerfed a bit but still a solid spell. Banishment (4). Nerfed quite a bit; was an ultimate "save or lose" spell that became much more powerful when magic resistance % was removed, so I can't complain. You've...

    Level Up (A5E) Changes in 5E to A5E spells

    I saw this thread awhile back and no followup about spells that were changed. So, I compared, dividing the spell changes into: Major (overhaul and/or major change in gameplay). Included a summary of the changes, not the entire spell. Minor (1-2 changes, largely the same spell, mostly "cast at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Over 10 Years Since the Open 5e Playtest Began!

    GenCon 2014 launch, got into one of the very limited seats for that year. Knew I was going 5E before that, switching from DMing Pathfinder (my way of protesting that I didn't like where 4E went). Had a large group, half wanted to stay Pathfinder, half came with me to 5E, amicable split...
