Hi, Ive recently started to run the season 4 scenarios the Beast and Im after some DM advice. One of the characters I have found out is a Paladin in service of Loviatar (who if you dont know is very much Lawful Evil and all about whips and Hurt and Suffering: ie the inflicting of it). Now Ive...

Recently I ran for a guy that had been gaming 'way back when' and had stopped and had just within the past 6 months restarted playing with 5e. He played in one of my 2 runnings of Suits in the Mists. To be honest I was expecting based on my first meeting, some interjections during the...

Hi, Before I start I want to be clear. I will be talking spoilers here and this thread is only for dms. Ive run a lot of games of AL now and given out a lot of Expeditions/AL scenario items. I have 2 rogues for example that use a certain +1 Drow origined Rapier in my 5-10 tables. I have...

Curse of Strahd is just over a month away and Ive already been formulating some character concepts. Perhaps not surprisingly , I have scheduled Suits in the Mists locally and notice on the 2 tables I already have 4 Paladins? Does anyone else have any idea what they might want to play? (keep in...

Hi, Im currently running Princes the Apocalypse for a 7 player group. We are currently about to hit the Circle of the Scarlet Moon . My Group range between level 5 and level 6. 3 6's and 4 5's. Now from my understanding the modules are written with 5 players in mind. Cant someone direct me on...

Hi, I ran a table recently which had 3/6 characters as 'Factionless'. The players all had access to the faction documents, yet still decided that they didnt want to join a faction. One player told me it was because it didnt really fir with his character, another player said they didnt like any...

Hi, If like me you are an international AL player, you may have to wait awhile before grabbing the SCAG (Sword Coast Adventurers Guide) Now Ill state this now There is NO INFORMATION on which parts of the SCAG will be available if any for use in future AL . None. Do not ask here about when...

We are now into season 3 of AL and have seen more than 25 Expeditions scenarios go by ranging from Season 1 and the Dragon themed season to Season 2's elemental Evil and now Season 3's demon romp. For me as primarily a DM, Ive seen a fair few NPCS come and go. Some I thought would be more...

Hi, I very very rarely run a Tier 5-10 game (generally people cant turn up, or people complain to me about not running a 1-4 instead). Ive got a 5-10 coming up and would like some help where possible: Im looking at the stats for a Knight who has one of these: Leadership (Recharges after a...

Hi, First Ill get my prideful statement out of the way. For some time, Ive been running AL in 2 locations. Its taken a bit out of me (I also run Wed Encounters) and Ive been looking to recruit another Expeditions DM. I finally have found one I hope and we both ran Shackles of Blood last...

This is not a thread about the exp a DM gets by running a tier 2 scenario. (It deserves it's own thread elsewhere). It is about some strangeness concerning the min/max exp rewards in some scenarios. Ive cultivated the following information from 4 Season 2 scenarios: Anyone else note how...
