If you make sure to initiate a session zero where you make the rules of the campaign clear to everyone and get everyone to agree on a tone and style for the gameplay, then you don't have to worry so much about everyone going all murder hobo on you.

A younger dragon with less than a hundred years on its belt might fall prey to the trap of its emotions, but I believe that it's important to keep in mind that an older dragon that has lived for far longer has the benefit of experience. Not XP experience, but the experience of situations where...

Sorry, my thoughts are worth at least a silver each.

The Hag has a second-in-command, a human child with sorcerous potential that she raised into adulthood. The second commander is away from headquarters at the time that the Society collapses, and swears vengeance against the PCs for killing "Mother" upon hearing of the news.

Here's the thing. A dragon is only as weak or as strong as the circumstances under which it is fought allow it to be and how the DM plays it. If played to its full potential, a dragon is far more deadly than many people might realize. For example, if the dragon is already in flight when the...

You must be swift as the coursing river. With all the force of a great typhoon. With all the strength of a raging fire. Mysterious as... ...the dark side of the moon...

I would, but raising dragons and training them to attack the players at the table is a bit too time-consuming for my schedule.

You might need some more common potions to even things out a bit with the rarer potions; you can try the ones that I included in my artificer project on DMsGuild. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/204687/THE-ARTIFICER-5e-Revised

The music produced by the composers of Square Enix for its fantasy RPG video games has enjoyed a reputation for iconic, moving themes. You'll find a grand plethora of epic scores for your campaign enhancement from their selection of albums, many of which can be purchased on the iTunes store...

I had written a 25-page document of thematic spell lists as part of my Magic Spell Cheat Sheets on DMsGuild, because people requested it so much. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/175969/DD-5e-Magic-Spell-Cheat-Sheets I'll be updating the whole thing with Xanathar's Guide spells over the next...

If the party can hunt some animals quickly, they might be able to jury-rig some furs for clothing. If you're open to third party materials, you can offer the players the 4th level spell Temperature Zone from this Artificer book on DMsGuild. If any of the PCs is a full caster, it'll probably...

You could make it a magic item that enhances roleplaying rather than offering mechanical advantage in combat or whatnot. That would only be useful if the current campaign is the type to offer ample opportunities for roleplaying though.

Since they're not from the same source, I'd go with the multiplicative stacking rather than overlapped stacking. Plus, it'd be pretty cool to see what the player does with that. Go on and turn that super monk jump into a Super Mario jump!

A free preview of the upcoming Realmspace Traveller's Guide has been released on Dungeon Masters Guild! You can follow the author's progress updates on DMsGuild projects @JohnnyRPG on Facebook. REALMSPACE The Forgotten Realms setting primarily takes place on a planet called Toril...

Only the first hit on which the player declared the intention to cast Shield matters for why Shield should always work to turn the hit into a miss or not be cast at all. If other attacks hit after the first hit is blocked, it's because the Shield didn't move fast enough to keep blocking more...

If you really want to make it feel old school, you could always re-implement Thac0. B-):angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:B-)

According to the actual RAW, Fireball does NOT engulf an entire area simultaneously (it's an explosion that spreads from a point - the spell's text actually says this) and those within do NOT necessarily take equal damage (half damage on a save or less, reduced to zero on a save with Evasion).

Crafting and selling takes significant time away from adventuring. If the PCs don't have any more pressing issues to attend to, or any higher priority objectives that they are personally pursuing, then it's one of many legitimate ways to play the game, a different KIND of adventure as it were...

The argument counter to that is that if you get hit even with Shield up, then you never cast Shield in the first place, because Shield would have blocked that hit, so there's no point in holding back the roll result.
