Dwarves and orcs living together- kids these days.

My players see a monster that needs to be killed. They hardly ever try to talk with things in a dungeon. They more recently try to talk to things on the road like bandits trying to exhort them out of gold. Maybe some of this is that gold in 5e has less opportunities to use. I'm making an...

Wouldn't the younger generation be the larger numbers? I get the reference to using Gen XYZ and such but the Boomers were the largest compared to the newer generations. Some ideas for the youthful numbers to want to explore should include reclaiming old homelands. This will place them at...

The problem I would have is that I would need to run another campaign before I get to this one. I would want something that ties in to how the PCs get there. I might never get to play that or I'm waiting for someone to make a 1-10 lead in. The other point in an earlier post was to use...

I'm guessing this is from the new Forgotten Realms (FR) books that just came out. The OP was not clear in mentioning anything.

Sounds terrible with the situation outlined. My players have not used it yet and tend to not play wizards. As a DM, I might let it play out to show the players that eventually it becomes not fun. I might also show them if they do not see it themselves with having 20 cultists cast it on the...

Dungeons all the time. I like smaller locations like a 5-room dungeon or something with 15ish rooms that can be played in a a couple weeks. Dungeons are a bit of a vague term with traditional caverns and crypts to city sewers and warehouses. Dragons tend to be only a couple per campaign...

I wish I used factions more. As the DM, I should have the npcs be in more factions to introduce the players and PCs to more options. As a player I would want more options to how the faction is going to influence the game and thus the PC. Being a Harper might be cool, but how does that help...

My players hit level 12 and finished the arc and now are free to pursue what they want. I'm having a problem making things for this level to both challenge them and make it fit with the world. A bandit attack on the road with 50 bandits instead of 5 and I'll throw in a mage with a elemental as...

Other than this, what are you trying to achieve? Everything is frontloaded to level 1 and 2 which go by vest fast. What is stopping people from just taking these 2 levels and then multi-classing to get these bonusses? What would this look like with other spells from other classes? These look...

I might give the next encounter advantage on the initiatives since they already know something is coming. I might base this on how much the players try to get into the spirit of the encounter though. The first round might need to be forced a bit. You want all the Pcs to wake up rom being...

@Illudenerth welcome to the site. There is another thread about this similar with a couple posters running clubs at school that should be a good help. One of the things I use for map making is Christmas Paper that has the 1inch grid on the inside. I can magic marker as big a map as I need...

I would be more interested if they came painted. My son might like them since he paints some. Then again, if I need them painted why not just make them plastic?
