Has anyone heard or seen any discussion about Paizo producing one of their AP's for the 5E rule set? Given the ugly history that led to the creation of Pathfinder, I imagine this is a long shot, but I'm going to keep hoping anyway.

I'd have Sanbalet try and frame the PC's as smugglers, perhaps leaving an anonymous message with the local Saltmarsh sheriff or law-enforcement that four smugglers matching their description were operating out of the abandoned house. Since his operation is busted anyway, might as well try and...

I haven't seen anyone else mention this yet (likely because it's common wisdom), but I like to have some variety in the Saves which my spells target. For instance, Web is Dexterity (IIRC) and Blindness is Constitution - so that gives you some options on what to target. Bunch of nimble looking...

I'd recommend the Starter Set (Lost Mines of Phandelver) to start with. It's an excellent adventure that will take you from L1 to L5. I've GM'd it (sadly, group wiped half way through the last big dungeon due to tough encounter and stupid/careless play). Warning: HotDQ spoiler! I'm currently...

We put our RotRL Pathfinder game on hold (characters had just hit 6th-level) in order to try out 5E. I GM'd a fairly straight forward LMoP, albeit with some geographical changes since I was gonna have it lead into Forge of Fury followed by Red Hand of Doom for the Rich Baker hat trick. Sadly...

5 out of 5 rating for Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path Although there are a few weak spots (see below), this is one of my favorite AP's that I've read to date. It's got a compelling storyline, a lot of decent city-based adventuring, and a compelling big bad guy (er gal actually).Weak...

3 out of 5 rating for Mummy's Mask Adventure Path This is based on a read through only, perhaps some of my suspicions will not be born out in actual play.I actually liked the start of this, although the hook is kinda flimsy and badly in need of some fleshing/building out by the GM. After that...

2 out of 5 rating for Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path I've only played half way through this, so can't comment on the latter parts of the AP. However, the Mythic rules are so lame and broken that I can't imagine even a stellar storyline could overcome the mechanical deficiencies.I'm...

What I use are plastic zip-top freezer bag with a white label for printing on. I have a bag for each category - for instance, one for Elementals, one for Humanoids, one for Goblins (since I have so many), one for Undead < CR6 etc. If a bag starts getting full I figure out a logical way to divide...

The flameskull did my group in as well. I'm actually kinda pleased with how it played out. Initially, they (all L4) came in and went up the left to the bugbear barracks. After a decent fight, they immediately decided to rip open the barricaded door, and began travelling down the hall in a loose...

IMO, 2E was kind of a low point for adventures. Some good 1st edition adventures are the aforementioned Under Illefarn, and I really like Ravager of Time as well (although I haven't run or played it). If you're willing to consider 3E material, I'd recommend Forge of Fury and Red Hand of Doom...

I've read this entire thread with interest, because I have pretty much made the jump from PF to 5E because of "Splatbookitis". For me, I like a classical D&D feel, and PF jumped the shark with the ARG and crap put out since then. When I DM, I can ignore this and enforce Core+APG only (my...
