    D&D 5E Mike Mearls 5E 2014 Monster Mods?

    I posted this query in a thread that is buried under hundreds of other posts. I'm creating this new thread in hopes of getting a response. In several recent interviews, possibly more, Mr Mearls stated that he had a simple fix for monster stat blocks in 5e 2014 that makes combat more exciting...

    D&D 5E A Middling DM Runs Curse of Strahd

    WARNING SPOILERS GALORE If you're worried about spoilers for Curse of Strahd, then don't read this thread. So this will be the thread where I post recaps of my campaign. It’s also the place where I’ll post questions about CoS and about the 5e 2014 rules. I used to be fairly familiar with the...

    D&D 5E [2014 rules] Can you charm zombies (and other undead) in this edition?

    I dusted off my 5e books and played a session. Somebody in our party casted charm on a zombie and I mentioned that it wouldn't affect the monster. After doing some research, I couldn't find any rule backing up my assumption. To be clear, if you do a quick google search there is something...

    DDAL Best Adventurers League Season 1-10 / Advice on running it from home

    Hi! My DCC campaign is kaput*, so I'm considering running a 5e 2014 game again. The thing is that scheduling is a pain in the butt; a few players are very dedicated, others have crazy schedules, and a few others are just flaky. I figure that running an AL style campaign at home would resolve...

    [DCC] Sequel to #97 Queen of Elfland's Son?

    The title. I'm about halfway through reading this adventure and it has mentioned a sequel, unfortunately a google search doesn't reveal a title. Anybody know? The adventure looks cool btw, loving all the superstitious details of the faerie world.

    D&D 4E Nentir Vale lore pdfs for the uninitiated DM?

    Hi! I want to mash up my current DCC campaign region with another region. Looking at the Nentir Vale map, the group would enter from the east through the Dawnforge Mountains. The PCs would be from cultures completely separate from the Nentir Vale and worship different gods. I have zero interest...

    [DCC] Cleric of Cthulhu? Turn Unholy?

    Hello! New Judge here with a new group of players. So one of the players has thrown me a curveball before even reaching 1st level, he wants to be a Cleric of Cthulhu. I understand that there are folks of the opinion who think that Cthulhu wouldn't have a Cleric. While I think this is reasonable...

    [DCC] Mesopatamian Dryad? Magic-Tech Rod of Rulership?

    So we just finished the Funnel Portal Under the Stars last week. The players seemed to find the puzzles and traps a nice change of pace from our usual combat heavy sessions in 5e. With that in mind, I've decided that I'd like to run Crypt of the Science Wizard for our next adventure. This...

    Tell me about using Dungeon Crawl Classics to run "A Hole in the Oak"

    Our group is currently enjoying Goodman Games Isle of Dread 5E conversion, but I'd like to run my first DCC campaign starting in July or August. I found "A Hole in the Oak" Old School Essentials (OSE) and it seems to fit my needs pretty well; specifically the fact that it's a large dungeon (60...
