    D&D 5E Mike Schley's Giants maps with the original module

    You need to know that 5E hill giants are huge-sized and that previous editions had them as large-sized creatures. That's a pretty important difference when it comes to how many giants you can fit into a room. When I recently ran a 5E conversion of the 4E adventure, I used a combination of...

    D&D 5E Help me come up with a property for a magic flail

    A wind duke would be easily heard over the din of combat or in the middle of a storm. I would allow the user to enhance the volume of his voice (like thaumaturgy) to be heard to all within 400' very clearly regardless of other noises. It's a minor enough thing mechanically, while still showing...

    Dungeon idea - a forgotten prison for dragons built by aberrations

    There is only one reason...to try to take over the world! Well, obviously the aberrations were trying to experiment and transform the dragons into aberrations themselves. Perhaps a dragon/aberration hybrid to rule the skies as well as the ground? Perhaps they've evolved a kind of zombie...

    I have an important game of D&D this weekend. I could use help.

    Start the game in a happy place, and let them take some time to absorb the world around them. A festival with performers and songs, foods, fancy clothes. Feed their eyes, ears, and nose with the world around them to really pull them into the game from the start. If your wife likes shopping...

    Chicago Gameday 39 is Sept 13th at Games Plus in Mt. Prospect, IL

    Time check? Warhorn shows the morning game slot as starting at 10:30, but i think you mean 9:30am... I'm pretty sure all the regulars already know it, but I'd hate for somebody new to sign up and then show up late thinking they had more time.

    Odd idea for items in an odd game

    Where does magic come from? Does it come from a wizard in a lab, or things like dragon's blood? Magic items for me comes from time (older is stronger), and the source of magic (dragon's blood, a kiss from a goddess, phoenix feather, etc.) I certainly allow masterwork gear of all kinds, and...

    Pathfinder 1E First session on new campaign finally done, need some advice on enemies.

    You could also have someone provide a way to "trap" the efreet, and reward the party. Then, a few sessions later they hear about an efreet with a new master being used to do bad things (preferably to somebody emotionally close to a PC member)...and it was all the party's fault, and maybe they...

    Pathfinder 1E Ideas for special properties for magic leather armour?

    I smell a rat! Perhaps the smell of the were-rat has absorbed itself into the leather. The armor can charm a modest swarm of ordinary rats, or perhaps up to 2 giant rats, or maybe even a dire rat (adjust as appropriate to the PCs level), and cause them to act similar to an animal companion...

    Shelving

    The Borders bookshelves in the kids section have slats in them, which are perfect for use as display shelves or for holding store products still in the package. Be sure to check another store if you don't find what you want.
