My parents played D&D when I was a kid. Out of curiosit, I wanted to check out something they maybe played through. I was born in 84 and I vaguely remember it, so that puts these games firmly in the mid-late 80s. No idea about the edition but that should give some clues. So so here are the...

Hi friends! I’m gonna run an OSR game of Cursed Chateau for some friends in October. About half of them have never played any form of D&D. The other half have played for plenty of time. i was curious if anyone had ran this adventure and, if so, if they had any thoughts on what worked and what...

I've been looking to plug a mega dungeon into my play schedule. I've never done one and I think they sound appealing. My wants are: - The barest minimum of prep - Interesting roleplaying opportunities A few people have directed me to Maze of the Blue Medusa which seems to basically be what I...

Enough with goblins and skeletons. Let's talk about having fun with the c-team of low level monsters. I've never ran either. Looking for some inspiration.

Our next 5e campaign is about to start. I was thinking of getting my players on of these: https://www.amazon.com/Dungeon-Chronicle-Pages-Catherine-Thrush/dp/0991478878 Just as a fun souvenir for keeping the notes. Has anyone used one or a nice looking product like it? Any thoughts? How many...

I am thinking of running Tomb of Annihilation for some friendly acquaintances. My regular group will be pretty busy with our normal campaign, but I wanna try it. So, with that in mind, I am considering Roll 20 or Fantasy Grounds. In my home games I NEVER use a map or minis, but part of that is...

Has anyone had any luck hacking together a magic user who is about as easy to use as the Champion for people who aren't terribly interested in mechanics? I wish the Warlock was this but there are so many moving pieces at a glance.

How did it go? What level were the PCs? Any fun?

I'm curious if there is a better way to run a maze. Are there any tips or tricks to make it more mechanically interesting? Or does it really just boil down to slowly drawing a map as the players navigate, adding some traps.. maybe a teleporter? There HAS to be a way to make it more interesting.

Let's give some... 1. Catching a porticullis falling right on you instead of dodging it.

I feel kind of odd that I have never read an old book containing a legend about a dragon or goblins. Do such things even exist? I assume they've been translated from old english or something right? With giants we at least have Jack and the Bean Stalk and with vampires you have Dracula -- but...

So they recently put the Adventurer's League Quest "Harried in Hillsfar" on Dragon+ which theoretically gives it some wider reach,Has anyone ran this yet? Any tips or ideas on ways to spice it up outside of AL play? Just flipping though, it'd be nice to link the different segments together more...

This is dumb, but I was thinking it might be fun to play/make an intelligence based martial character. I started to think it would be interesting to make a character who throws vials of acid, holy water, oil and whatnot. Any thoughts on what I should look at or consider? We don't play in a very...

Maybe I am crazy but ever since I was a kid I've wanted to make a Vampire Slayer character in the vein of Castlevania. I may have an opportunity in the near future. Part of my thinks that a Ranger/Paladin multi class is the ticket, but I thought it might be fun to throw it out to the world and...

I feel like 1st lvl characters in 5e are super-duper fragile, but it's hard to guage what a good "boss" challenge is on that level. Sometimes you want to just have a straight-up "boss monster" rather than a "boss encounter" I feel like the math in the MM is woo wonky for this. So hit me. What...

I unexpectedly have a pretty "high profile" rpg session coming up for my podcast and I am woefully unprepared. I was wondering if there were any great one off adventures yet I could use rather than trying to cook somehting up last minute. This would be for people who have never really played...

Without boring everyone with the backstory, I'm looking for a nice solo boss fight for my 1st lvl PCs. Here is the thing... The fight is on a ship, and (again for boring reasons that I will spare you of) I'm looking for a unexpected creature to find on a boat. Like a bear or something...
