One more write up to do. We played on Thursday night in an extra long session and I haven't had a chance yet. The campaign is now officially over now though.

I agree with that. I'm putting together my new campaign at the moment and want to try something that I have never had in my nearly 40 years of playing D&D - run a city based campaign with a strong home base. I feel this will be a challenge for me, but I will not do my usual thing of planning far...

Wait till they find out who was in the sack. They just murdered someone significant.

We played last night :) The players destroyed the atropal and the soulmonger, and now part of the party is facing Acererak while one of the party is off on his own adventure. Never split the party, especially when fighting the boss...

Nicely done. Was that a map you already had that you adjusted the adventure to fit?

I've started to construct a campaign and have left the foundations in the hands of the players. They have surprised me by deciding to have the Boromir clan as their group patron. So it's a crime campaign then.

Hmm, just spitballing here, but how would this work? Roll a d20 and subtract your dex modifier (minimum of 1) Subtract that number from 100 The battle starts, going from highest to lowest. When you have completed your turn, you roll a d20 and subtract your dex modifier, then add the score from...

I say just jump in and start the module proper. Let your players know that you are finding your way with DMing and they should be forgiving if you get anything wrong. At the end of the day the rules don't matter, it's about having fun.

This is all awesome. Thanks all. I will look through them and see which ones grab me.

Hi all, I have been running the Lost Mine of Phandelver for some time (and more than once) with my kids aged 11, 9 and 7 using the pre-gen characters. They are now keen to roll up their own characters and start a full campaign like I play with my friends. Can anyone suggest a good campaign for...

Session 42: The hags lair https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7911822/day-118-10pm-12am-in-the-hags-lair I've got to admit, the group solved those puzzles a lot more easily than I thought they would. The games are getting a bit more few and far between at the moment as everyone gets more busy...

Phew, what a mess.

That went better than I thought it would. Good for them finding the back door - I don't know how anyone would survive an assault from the front. They are approaching the hydra now though, so that could go very badly.

You are putting a great amount of depth into this. I'm enjoying reading this being done well.

We'll definitely finish ours, but as Christmas approaches it is getting harder to get everyone together (particularly me). One of the players in this game will be taking on Decent into Avernus, and I've preordered the upcoming Eberron stuff.

It's a wee while since my last game, so this is a very short journal entry compared to normal because my memory has lost some of the details. Good fun, and Besh came very close to dying. Next week they will be heading down into the hags lair...

Good fun. Is it just me, or are you playing on reversed versions of the maps? It's a while since I played this one, but my memory seems to be backwards.

Session 40 - Naked and alone. https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7840701/day-118-10am-1-00pm-naked-and-alone This may end up being a good example of why you should never split the party. We have another game tomorrow and then I am away for the following two weeks. Next week I am a parent...

I've always encouraged players to play what inspires them. If that means an 'unbalanced' party then who really cares? As DM you change the theme of the game to fit the characters. I've had a party where every member was a rogue and that was a huge amount of fun. Sure they were lacking in some...

I don't know if this will be useful, but here is the adventure log I wrote for my group as they went through the adventure: Return to Xandrar | Eberron Revisited - Heroes of Xandrar | Obsidian Portal
