I was a big fan of the novels back in the late 80s/early 90s. Didn't really play through the adventures though. I have a passing interesting and revisiting the setting and as a fan of 5e, I'm curious how well this book has landed with players. I understand, being both a sourcebook and campaign...

So, I've got the two Beginner and the Essentials box, so have those three, but I'm looking for something similar. Not the long 1-10 level epic campaigns, but more of these shorter mini campaigns as it were as I've found they're just the right length for the group. So, are there any other good...

I understand Old School Essentials is basically a cleaned up B/X ruleset. However, I’m a little confused on the offerings. Is it a single book? A box set? What’s this new KS about? I just want B/X… what do I need?

I’m looking to run some of the Goodman Games 5e conversions of reincarnated models. I have a contemporary 5e DM screen that I like, but for these occasions, I think I’d prefer something with old school style art facing the players. Is anyone aware of any retro looking DM screens for 5e? Thanks!

So, of the current six available I’ve only ever owned Lost City. I’m considering jumping in and collecting these even if I only ever just read all the extra content for some and not play them. With that in mind, how would you rate the 6 adventures and additionally how would you rate the 6 as...

For those that have played through both of these, what are your comparison thoughts? I’m going back and forth on deciding which of these two to attempt. The players are middle and high schoolers. I can see both potentially being hits based on theme. Does one play faster? Less sessions? More PC...

I’ve been running adventures for my kids and friends (11-15yrs) through the Starter and Essentials boxes, so the Phandelver/Sword Coast area. I was a Dragonlance reader back in the day so know little about the FR. Is there a good single book novel that takes place around the Sword Coast I could...

How often are cards pulled from the Tarokka Deck? Is it frequently throughout the campaign or more of a one encounter deal?

Im running Lost Mines of Phandelver...there are a lot of alliances and fraternities the PCs can join. Can they join more than one? Should the other PCs know who joined what? Are there any that feature more prominently in other adventures? What does a new group do with these?

Coming back to D&D after many editions away, but was a big DL fan back in the day. So, Besides the 2e stuff, where there ever quality materials produced for the setting? Taking publishing materials from all the editions into account, which stands as the best source for the setting? also, what's...

So, I'm currently running LMoP/SKT and plan to go ToA afterward. Beyond that maybe OotA or CoS. I don't know anything about the Forgotten Realms beyond what's in the D&D starter, PHB, and in the campaign books. Do I need either of these FR supplement books or are they more for DM's who are...

I'm going to be running SKT for two groups (one doing 1-5 in LMoP, the other via SKT) and the two will join up in Chapter 2. Looking over the three, I'm leaning toward Triboar and Bryn Shander, but I'm curious what experience others have had with this chapter of the campaign. Which town had the...

Looks like there was a neat little deck of cards for 4e that made coming up with various Critical Hits easy. I see they were made by Paizo, but there's some Nord Games one also. Any difference? Which is best to convert to 5e?

Anyone have a suggestion for a good alternative to Microsoft Whiteboard? I'm using a Mac and don't need anything fancy. Just something to doodle a few encounter features, not heavy map making. One feature I would like though...say I had an image, I'd like to run some grey over it, then use an...

I'm considering running two separate groups through Storm King's Thunder at the same time and they would cross paths a few times, but pretty much end up playing the campaign in parallel. The combined sessions would end up with 7-8 players though. Ugh, that's a lot. I prefer 3 in a group. 4 max...

So, I have a group working through LMoP then will hit Storm King's Thunder. I have a second group of players that also want to game, but I don't have the bandwidth to run two different online campaigns. So, I'm thinking about having this second group join the first at the 5th level entry point...

One of the players in my group is switching over to a Monk, but the adventure (LMoP) I'm running doesn't seem to offer a lot of treasure for that class. What sort of magic items work for this class that won't negate their abilities? Are Gauntlets considered armor? I mean, they need to stay...

So, I find myself getting ready to run two different groups through 5e. One is made up of three adults, the other four middle school kids and one other parent. The kid group halfway through with Mines of Phandelver and I plan to continue them into Storm Kings Thunder. When SKT is over...I'm not...
