    D&D 5E Help for disease based campaign

    I like the idea of a plant based infection - especially the idea of people 'sprouting' when they die (Grim Fandango!). I think I should finally bite the bullet on Volo's guide.

    D&D 5E Help for disease based campaign

    Hi, I'm a pretty new DM and not super excperienced with D&D and looking for help with ideas. I've had a first session with players based in a port town. In this session I involved the Tavern Owner's daughter who was a wannnabe adventurer, and had recently returned from a mission that had gone...

    D&D 5E Help with Roguish Sorcerer (Wild Mage) build

    Would like a bit of advice on a character I recently built at lvl 2 to join a new group. She's a Sorcerer with the Wild Mage, but I've also been playing up her roguish behaviours - her basic concept is that she's a street urchin - talented thief/pickpocket - half-drow (though doesn't know this...

    [GM Advice] Help with Warlock PC in Eberron (backstory and hooks)

    Hi, would like a little advice if possible, since have just started a campaign in Eberron for the first time. One of the players has picked a Warlock with the Great Old One specialism and 'Haunted One' background. She's not overly sure about the setting (in fact, I think she's not that keen to...

    D&D 5E First Session adventure outline - looking for feedback - Eberron Murder Mystery

    I like the idea of making it level 1 - 3, but would obviously need to flesh it out some. Not entirely sure how...maybe bringing in House Jorasco (as owners of the hospital which could be the root of this problem) or the Boromar Clan (a Halfling crime gang) throwing up some roadblocks/encounters...

    D&D 5E First Session adventure outline - looking for feedback - Eberron Murder Mystery

    Thanks for all the incredibly helpful advice! I'm half considering throwing this away and going with a pre-written module (anyone know if there are any good murder mysteries for 1st level I could adapt?), but shall perservere for now! Answering a couple other questions... This thing grossed...

    D&D 5E First Session adventure outline - looking for feedback - Eberron Murder Mystery

    Sorry yeh, tried to base something around the Roach Thrall in the sharn campaign book, but a few kinks to work out it seems!

    D&D 5E First Session adventure outline - looking for feedback - Eberron Murder Mystery

    Hi folks, Have written out an adventure set up as kind of a grim murder mystery and wanted to know what you all might think and how I could improve it. This'll be my first time going off-module so to speak, so want it to go well! Background - 5 PCs just opened a detective agency in Sharn (in a...

    D&D 5E Eberron - Mourning causing a PC's warlock's powers?

    Hi, This is my first run of Eberron and have had some other really good advice here, so just wanted to run this one past you all! I started the campaign using The Mark of the Prophecy in the back of the 4e campaign guide. In the first session, the PCs rescued the two NPCs, and the mourning...

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    Quick question though, the campaigns set in Sharn, but her character could be from anywhere. As I understand it, Blood of Vol is a continent wide religion, however the upper echelons of the orgaisation are in Karrnath. Would you say her parents could have come from anywhere? Or would this sort...

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    Amazing, I'm almost hoping her character dies now. Thank you!

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    This is something I have possibly been overthinking! So I think your post very wise...it's collaborative story telling after all right?

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    Love the idea of one of her parents actually being a dragon by the way, but these group of adventurers are now going to Sharn to set up a low rate detective agency. If she was 'sired' in such a fashion, how would have she been left alone for so long? I guess it's possible that there are spies...

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    All fantastic ideas, thank you for giving them! We had our first session this eve, but though it was somewhat shakey beginnings (the first combat lasted quite a while!) as soon as the mourning happened there was a definite shift in tone, as the people of Cyre were wiped out and the players were...

    D&D 5E DM advice, PC's backstory - Eberron draconic Sorcerer

    Have been going around in circles with this so would like to ask on here. Any advice would be much appreciated! Just about to start a campaign in Eberron (first time!) and not entirely sure where the story will be heading, but want to try and get enough interesting hooks into the characters...

    Eberron, Sharn inquisitive campaign – session zero 5e

    I've been listening to manifest.zone, it's a goodun. One thing I'm a bit puzzled about, is how the PCs would have ended up fighting for Cyre, especially if they would've come from different parts of the continent (like the Druid coming through the Feyspires in the Eldeen Reaches)? Thanks for the...

    Eberron, Sharn inquisitive campaign – session zero 5e

    Would you be able to give an example of the kind of thing you mean? A puzzle that leads to the reason the mournland happened? Thanks

    Eberron, Sharn inquisitive campaign – session zero 5e

    My players have said they're up for something a bit dark, though we'll see how it plays out. That's what I'm going to shoot for anyway! I'm doing exactly what you suggest, and players are all cool with it, so thank you. I'll definitely check out the Sharn book. Just one more thing - I may get to...
