As the title, our local library has offered D&D in the past, and I'm going to offer to DM. It's light on details at the moment, but I'm looking for advice. It'll be 5e. Any tips you all have? Any suggested adventures? Things to avoid? Personal experiences doing this (or something similar) you'd...

Disagree. Agree until you get to "therefore". Therefore growing the player base and as such, the customer base. The point of the article, IMO, is that the lack of DMs is a bottleneck that stifles growth of the brand. More DMs = more GAMES, not more books sold. More games = more players = more...

Oh, interesting. Looks like that magazine was Feb 2003, so 3.0. What I was saying was true for 3.5 (cold iron must be specifically made and a steel sword or armor wouldn't count). But 3.0, IIRC was just magical plusses for DR, so this template would have been being creative prior to the...

Steel isn't cold iron. Fey in most editions have vulnerability to cold iron, but not to normal weapons.

I re-read your original post. "Murder Hobos" is a well(ish) known term for unscrupulous D&D characters. If that name isn't taken, it might fit your game.

With respect "Vagabonds and Varlets" sounds less like a game and more like an NPC supplement. Is your game tied to a setting? "Vagabonds of the Scorched Forest" Or a time/mythos like "Vagabonds of the Ancient Caves" "Vagabonds of the Ankh". If not tied to anything, and it is more of a system...

Theory: The show will be a cooking class entitled "Second Breakfast or Elevenses?"

Imagine someone is having a bad day. "I am awesome +". Maybe they just want to hear good things about themselves that day. No constructive criticism, no jibes, no "well, this one time you___, so maybe grow from that". Or imagine someone is feeling upset about Star Wars because of the sequels...

Or you could try to make the forum a less antagonistic place. The OP is asking how to do that, not for a free therapy session.

Learning from this thread how much the stuff that wasn't told until later makes the whole thing better (eventually and with quality control). I still feel the initial jolt of the prequels messing with the originals. But, yeah... Darth Maul's backstory, now that I know it, might make Phantom...

In that same campaign I just mentioned, I keep misty step and vortex warp memorized and in reserve for exactly this reason. In another campaign I'd probably have chosen more offensive spells. EDIT TO ADD: Which, in a way, makes the difficulty level even harder. The need to have retreat spells...

I can sort of see your point. I think Lucas was trying to do with Maul what he did with Fett. I just don't think he was successful. But I do agree, when it comes to prequel dialogue, usually less is more. Maybe if he'd just DONE something evil (that made sense for the character) that'd have...

I agree that the Darth Maul lightsaber fight was amazing. However, Darth Maul himself may as well have been a robot. I felt like he was a non-character, no emotional investment against him, and when he died, no sense of satisfaction that evil had been defeated. Giving the audience motivation...

I'm playing in an open world version of the 5e Strahd book. Since it's open world, we hear about things much more powerful than us, and have even met Strahd himself briefly on a couple of occasions. We have a paladin in the party, and even he knows better than to attack Strahd. But we also...

That's me. I voted for only Phantom Menace. The poll said "worst" so I picked only one. I'd probably have voted for the other 2 prequels if I voted for three. But non-objectively I also wanted to vote for Rogue One. It was the movie that made me want to stop watching Star Wars movies. I found...

I actually like the idea of a name meaning order for a chaotic character. He/she/they could be rebelling against the name, like someone named "angel" or "charity" who decides to become a rabblerouser as an act of defiance.

That was a beautiful and heart wrenching story. I think it gets to the heart of what people are trying to come to grips with in this thread. Your act of kindness and that material at the time made a lot of young people's lives so much brighter. Nothing J.K. does or says can change that. And...

Honey Heist Honey Heist is a surprisingly successful one-page RPG. Here is the plot: 1) You have a complex plan that requires precise timing. 2) You are a GODDAMN BEAR. That's largely it. It's easy to run and easy to play, and there's a D8 table for hats if you want to be a bear that wears a...
