Every 1e DM I knew (myself included) had the "to hit" chart from the DMG taped/stapled/glued to the inside of our DM screen. So, even if the players didn't have the info on their character sheet, it was pretty easy to look up as we went. BTW, totally irrelevant, but...my first DM screen was the...

And Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle is a sort-of prequel to Scourge of the Sword Coast, although they both start at level 1 or 2. You could have a DM run Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, then start a fresh campaign (new characters, possibly new DM) for Scourge of the Sword Coast. Here's part of the...

I suppose it depends on what the DMG is considering a session. (My DMG is at home...so can't look it up.) If a session is 4 hours, then this doesn't seem so bad. 8 hours to go from level 3 to level 4 doesn't seem too fast to me. We tend to play 3-hour sessions, so that means 2.5 sessions to go...

Sandbox-type adventures, similar to Lost Mines of Phandelver (design-wise), for varying levels. A good starting adventure, good maps of the area, and plenty of hooks for DMs to create their own followup adventures, plus additional adventures set in the same area down the road. Sort of a more...

You seem to be forgetting the unwritten rule that nothing WotC does is acceptable. * Fired 2 people: DOOMED * Hired 2 people: DOOMED * Released 3 core books that have remained top sellers on Amazon since their release: DOOMED * "Only" released 1 official sandbox adventure, 2 adventure paths...

I second that recommendation. Lots of really good maps. I bought the entire Red Wizards series. Haven't run any of them yet as-is. May some day, but at the very least I have a ton of stuff to mine for other adventures...

Thanks for the replies. Now to decide if/when to get a level or two of Warlock. It would be great to be able to have more Healing Word, Dissonant Whispers, and Faerie Fire available after a short rest - would certainly help the party. But the extra attack at 6th level (Valor Bard) is something I...

Thanks. So, if I'm understanding, a Bard could conceivably cast a Bard spell in a Pact Magic slot and regain it on short rest? Because that would be very cool.

If you multiclass a level (or more) of Warlock with another class that has spells, do you regain *all* spell slots after a short rest, or just the Warlock spells? Seems it would be just Warlock, but I know it's going to come up, so want to make sure. We haven't done any multiclassing yet...

I think it's an instant classic. Best Starter/Basic set adventure for sure, but possibly one of the best adventures, period. WotC should make more of those style adventures for varying levels.

I think you just (almost) described Lost Mines of Phandelver. You could use Phandalin as a base city. At the end of LMoP, the PCs can relocate in Phandelver to help rebuild/revitalize it. It already has several NPCs, but you could add more as the town grows/expands. Flesh it out a bit more and...

The funny thing is, many of the old classic modules from 1e were actually adventure paths...just broken into smaller chunks. They were even eventually re-released as bundled APs.

I haven't been following this thread, so haven't read all 13+ pages. I did read the OP, and here's how *I* would rule at *my* table (YMMV): * The RAW say (for War Caster) that if a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack, you can use your reaction to cast a spell rather than...

From the UA Eberron page:

We're currently 4th level (HotDQ, in which I'm a player), and I've DMed LMoP all the way through, so not sure what you're getting at with "once you and your players had played a bit". We have played a bit, and so far we haven't seen what's being talked about. If players are repeatedly outrunning...

I guess my two groups (one as a player, one as DM) are doing it wrong if this edition is supposedly so over-powered. The near TPK during the goblin ambush in LMoP was a great introduction to how deadly this edition can be. And our last session in the hatchery (HotDQ) saw 4 of 5 PCs go down at...

You messed a few 5e releases: Murder in Baldur's Gate Vault of the DracolichDreams of the Red Wizards: Dead in Thay Dreams of the Red Wizards: Scourge of the Sword Coast Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle

Y As a DM I would count the experience even if I hand-waived the rest of the encounter. The characters came up with a good strategy that worked, so they get XP (either actual encounter XP, or counting towards a milestone - they successfully thwarted the baddies), but there's no reason to waste...
