Hi, I've finished my first session of ToA and I'm preparing Port Nyanzaru and the rest of Chult now. Since there's such a great focus on navigation, foraging, water consumption and general preparedness, I'd really like to introduce a more sophisticated inventory system instead of just...

Hi! I recently set out to organize a weekly D&D campaign and the group assembled much quicker than I anticipated. I'm prepping Tomb of Annihilation, and would love some feedback. I'll be using the Celler of Death from DMsguild as the intro adventure, but beyond that I'm just looking for...

Hi, DM's, what brought about your first total party kill? Players, what lead to your first TPK? I am asking because I DM'ed a one-shot this Saturday and I had my first TPK. I've only DM'ed for about a year, and I have killed one character in a one-shot and had several unconscious ones in my...

Hi everyone, When I started researching and preparing The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, I had a hard time finding resources and feedback. I'm creating this thread both to tell my players' story, and in hopes that someone else who is preparing the dungeon can benefit from it. I think the dungeon...

Hi folks! Today I started running The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan from Yawning Portal. My group has 4 players, and I'm running it pretty much as-written from the book. For those who don't know, Tamoachan is a 1st edition dungeon originally intended for tournament play that has now been adapted...

Hi everyone I'm a fairly new DM, and this Saturday I'm going to run my first really big dungeon: The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan from Yawning Portal. My question is how I and the players can keep track of things. I obviously have my DM map from the book, and I usually draw on my battlemat, but...

Hi everyone! I'm planning a one-shot for some friends (and a few strangers), and I'd like to run an interesting dungeon. I was recently a player in one, and it worked well for a one-shot I thought. I'm tempted to try a dungeon from TotYP, but I'm unsure which one is appropriate. I'd like the...

Hi everyone, Next week I will run Death House as a one-shot for a group of experienced players. I'm running the one-shot mostly to test Death House, as I will be starting Curse of Strahd with my regular group soon and they are all new players. We are about to finish Lost Mines of Phandelver...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of preparing Curse of Strahd, and I came across this site: https://www.ambient-mixer.com/ There's lots of cool and ominous ambient music, and I am considering using it for certain parts of the story. At least for Death House I think it might be cool, and...

Hi everyone! Your forum is active and seems great, so I'm happy to have joined! I have sort of a moral conundrum and I am looking for input. I generally like the idea of "Support your local game store!", and I do it enthusiastically at my local running store when buying running gear. I don't...
