    D&D General Thoughts on Dungeons and Dragons: Onslaught

    Has anyone played this skirmish game? It had somehow escaped my attention when it came out last year. Physically, it looks impressive. I'm wondering if anyone on the boards has played it and what you thought.

    WotC Should I try Magic: The Gathering Forgotten Realms?

    I’ve been playing D&D since the 1980s but I’ve never played M:TG. Now I’ve got kids of my own and we play D&D together. I thought they might be into Magic: the Gathering but I am not sure where to start. Ideally, I’d like to start with the D&D flavored Forgotten Realms set. Is this a good idea...

    D&D General No D&D World Loyalty: Still playing After 37 Years

    I’m a huge grognard. I used to hunt down old issues of Dargon magazine for twenty year old updates on events in the world of Greyhawk. I ran a Greyhawk campaign for a decade or so that spanned from the late 1980s through the 1990s. We ran through Temple, Slavers, Giants through Demonweb, White...

    D&D 5E Players Want to Set Up a Shop in Port Nyanzaru

    My party is obsessed with being merchants. They began as caravan guards bringing goods from Luskan to Bryn Shander. When the caravan master was killed, they took over the business and made a small fortune selling scrimshaw in Waterdeep. They turned part of Trollskull Manor into a hub for selling...

    D&D 5E Tomb of Horrible Annihilation in Storm Kings Thunder's Cthulhu

    I'm DMing a group through Storm King's Thunder. They followed up on the Artus Cimber quest and instead of making it a dead end, I decided to let them pursue him down to Chult. So now I'm running a modified Tomb of Annihilation. There's no Death Curse. The party is trying to find Artus Cimber...

    D&D 5E Who is Pock Marked Po?

    SPOILER ALERT! Pock Marked Po is the Zhentarim agent in Port Nyanzaru. My question is how he got that way? How did Pock Marked Po wind up part of the Zhentarim? How does he communicate with with Zhents? What is he doing to advance their goals? I’m looking for answers that are either from the...

    An update on D&D from Wall Street. In the second quarter earnings report, Hasbro called out D&D revenue growth. D&D revenue grew in both analog and digital. ”We take a holistic approach and are pleased with the direction of our digital transformation. For Dungeons & Dragons, which grew in...

    D&D 5E Corrupted Avatar of Lurue

    The text on page 122 of Candlekeep Mysteries says that the corrupted avatar has legendary actions but the stat block does not list any. Am I missing something?

    D&D General Should We Start Using a VTT?

    I’ve been DMing a pretty large group for about two years now. The last year has been done over Zoom calls. Two of the players live with me so they are in the room but the other five play remotely. The Zoom call thing works okay and I can show battle maps by pointing my phone or tablet at the...

    D&D General Yenrakian Remix of the Alexandrian Remix: The Heist Before The Heists

    I suppose everyone knows about the Alexandrian Remix of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. If you don't, you can get the complete collection through his patreon or read it for free (cheapskate) in a couple dozen blog posts starting here. I liked the idea so much that I decided to take it a step further...

    D&D General Horror or Murder Mystery Set in a Noble Villa?

    I'm looking for suggestions for published adventures with horror or mystery themes set in a mansion, castle, villa, etc. Basically, I think my group may wind up at the party thrown by the—SPOILER ALERT, WATERDEEP DRAGON HEIST—Cassalanters where 100 guests will be sacrificed to Asmodeus. If...

    D&D 5E SKT's The Weevil: A Manhunt and a Mystery

    What is the point of the Weevil in Storm King's Thunder? Players can be told to hunt him down by two different groups in Bryn Shander or Darz Helga in Triboar. There's a wanted poster in Long Saddle. Presumably, they'd learn of him in Mirabar as well, since that city has posted a 5,000 gold...

    D&D 5E Guilds and Trollskull Manor

    I recall seeing a huge list of guilds that might visit Trollskull Manor looking for work and payouts. But I don't remember where. Might have even been in these forums but I can't track it down. Anyone recall?

    D&D 5E Higher Level Dragon Heist

    I'm DMing a group of 6th and 7th level characters through Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or pointers to resources for this? Has anyone else tried to convert this into a mid-tier adventure?

    D&D 5E Waterdeep: Dragon Heist-ier

    I've been running my very home-brewery version of Storm King's Thunder for the past year. Much of the year we spent playing out a road trip from Luskan to Bryn Shander. (Here's a thread I started discussing some of those adventures.) The party wound up with a huge amount of goods from Icewind...

    D&D General Scrimshaw Prices

    The players in the campaign I'm DMing are likely to come into possession of a sizeable amount of Icewind Dale scrimshaw. I'm trying to figure out what it might be worth. Anyone have suggestions or sources on pricing for carved knucklehead?

    D&D 5E Wyrmskull Throne

    Has anyone played the 2E Wyrmskull Throne adventure? I tried looking for reviews online and didn't find any in the usual places. Wondering if it is any good and if there's a way I could tie it into Storm King's Thunder.

    D&D 5E Storm King's...CHULT!

    The party I've been DMing through Storm King's Thunder is becoming very obsessed with the Ring of Winter. They really want to go in search of it. SPOILER ALERT. There is a quest where the party can go search out Artus Cimber in Waterdeep but it's a red herring/dead end. But I've been...

    D&D 5E White Plume Mountain in Storm King's Thunder

    Spoiler Alert. Duh. I've been running Storm King's Thunder since January. (If you're curious, check out my posts on it elsewhere in the forum. It's mostly been set between Luskan and Icewind Dale.) I'm not in love with the "raid the burial mounds" section. Or, at least, I feel like this part...

    D&D General Accursed Tower: Map Problems

    Has anyone tried to play through the Accursed Tower? It is a 1999 Forgotten Realms adventure by R.A. Salvatore & the Seven Swords. I bought a pdf from DMSGuild. The thing I'm struggling with is the maps, which don't seem to work. I can't see doors connecting the tower the players enter through...
