I'll be at Winter Fantasy, though I'm not doing any of the A/B/C/D/E tracks. But I am playing some of the DDAO adventures that were ticketed individually. Slot 3: DDAO-7 (Chris Lindsay's adventure, TBD) Slot 9: DDAO-4 "Halruaa Rising" (Robert Adducci's adventure) Slot 11: DDAO-3 "The Taming...

1) Like. Should help make the case for various conventions to invite you guys. If it's well received at early locations like Winter Fantasy, you may want to find a way to expand it to at least some of the RCs, as the flight costs may be a challenge for conventions in some areas that aren't...

I think you may find it challenging to mix magic with barbarian. Many of the best support spells in the game require concentration. Tasha's and Sleep are OK at lower levels, but at higher levels both Sleep and Tasha's aren't nearly as effective as something like Hypnotic Pattern, which can...

I'm thankful for the community of players and DMs that we have in my area. The league certainly deserves credit for its focus on supporting the brick-and-mortar WPN stores and fostering an environment where players can travel from store to store and support play at several different ones.

I do this as well. Most replayers are pretty good about behaving. There are a small number of jerks who aren't, but they're very much in the minority, at least around here. Regarding Oubliette of Fort Iron, it's not all that unusual for new players to figure out the "big picture" fairly...

It's been a year or so, but my recollections are: 1). Hp aren't that different at low levels. I.e at level 2 I had 17 hp but the tanks had 20. We're both usually down in 3-4 hits. 2) levels 1-2 go by pretty fast, by design on the XP scale. 900 XP to level 3 vs. 6500 to level 5 means...

Yeah, that's why I'm not such a fan of Mobile. It's good for you as an individual, but it's not necessarily good for the team. I also agree with MwaO on this: And again, Defensive Duelist gets better as you gain levels.

I'm playing a monk in the Adventurers League. All the way up from Level 1, and he's currently level 10. He's a human variant, so dex = wis = 16 at level 1, ergo AC 16. But I went with Defensive Duelist rather than Mobility, and have been pretty happy with the choice. Essentially he was AC...

Actually, you're not supposed to be stuck, even in this situation. Wizards has a process in place for people who want to play Expeditions but can't get a local store to work with them. The link's not the easiest to find, but it's here: http://dndadventurersleague.org/get-involved/ In the...

Could we use the 5e Ampersand? That's the logo that's on all of the AL LC and RC official shirts.

I would strongly encourage all DMs for this adventure to read the "suggestions / errata" document for Expeditions, found here. See the section under DDEX 3-2 on "encouraging the players to surrender". You definitely don't want to grind out that Red Plume fight as a DM. The fight in Part 3 is...

You can play Expeditions as a pickup game as long as you're willing to play at a local store and they have table space. It's admittedly a bit more work than putting together a pickup game at home. But frankly the Expeditions program is designed to help support public play, i.e. primarily at...

I would like to see improved DM rewards, but I would rather that they be something other than x.p. From considering the various earlier discussions, my current preference would be some sort of DM credits that DMs earn for each game of public play that they run, which can be redeemed for...

This also should perhaps be linked in the list of AL resources?

5 out of 5 rating for Defiance in Phlan This adventure is designed to serve as an intro to 5e and it does it exceptionally well. Very easy for new players to take a pregen character and play for an hour or two or four or however much they like and kick the tires on 5e to see if they like it...

Hello all. I've recently returned to D&D after a long absence. I've been playing Living Greyhawk for about the last 1.5 years. The last time I played before that, Druids topped out at level 14 (The Great Druid) and to-hit rolls were looked up in a matrix by class and level in the DMG. I'm...
