Like or dislike Matt's way of DMing, he's a very humble and thoughtful man based on everything I've seen. I really like how he presents himself and this game.

This is exactly why I posted the question. Because it does become something different than the norm. My focus is providing new and fun experiences for the older players, while the newer players get to do something unexpected, with their enjoyment at the center. All that being said, I agree...

I love this idea, and may even use it for dungeon crawling as well. Thanks!

In my world, it's been 250 years the last big war between the Orc armies and the humanoid nation they attacked. There is rumbling that the Orc armies are re-gaining confidence and small skirmishes have been breaking out on the borderlands between the two territories. There is a definite...

I had never heard of Level Up until reading your post. They did a great job with the Monk. Were I in the market for more materials, this would be my first purchase.

I really like DnD Beyond for all of my digital character sheets etc.

Why axe the Monk? I see a lot of people don't care for the class, but I haven't seen reasons behind this dislike.

Depending on how active they all are in your campaigns, it seems like an awful lot to manage 50 in one tier alone. And if they aren't all active, is it worth trimming some of that fat? Seems like the ole, "When everyone is special, then nobody is" kind of thing...at first glance.

Yes, even at level 15+ the party would be no match for the gods I have. But I want them to feel the grandeur of where the gods live, and lift the veil of what true power feels like. I would use the gods more as an entity to connect with for a global catastrophic event as opposed to a direct...

Have you explored the non-WoTC content much? GM's Guild etc come to mind. There are some very highly acclaimed creators on there among other resources. Just curious if you've had any luck with those and your personal preferences.

This is what I'm working on right now. I'm devising ways to get the party to NEED to go visit a god. There will be something they have to accomplish to prevent a calamity beyond the help of mortals. My friends and I played for years and never explored these aspects of the game...even...

It had slipped my mind that gods can be married...I love the thought of that.

Have you run a campaign with this setup? If so, how did that go with gods accompanying the party? Seems like things could get pretty wild. Also, do the PCs rely on the god with them to do the heavy lifting? This is rather intriguing to me.

This is a pretty cool idea actually...one pantheon encroaching on a completely separate one. Interesting how that would effect the populace on the Prime Material Plane. Massive wars on behalf of their gods could be a great backdrop for a campaign.

So how active in the day-to-day will the gods be? Do they ever visit the Prime Material Plane, or will they just be ruling from a distance?

This! I have been thinking of things like this as well. Like if you're roll doubles the AC of the target, damage is doubled, including Str/Dex bonuses. Or for every point above the AC on your attack roll, you add +1 damage to the damage roll. Things like that. They would have to be...

So, after reading a few of the threads on here regarding Pantheons and how they can be integrated into our campaign worlds, I was motivated to flesh mine out a bit more. I hadn't really done that to any great detail, and with a Cleric in the party I thought I was doing them a disservice by not...

I agree with all of what you're saying. I think there's also a bit of culture shock because I hadn't DMed since AD&D 15 years ago. 3E and 3.5E had come out, but because our group had invested so much money into AD&D we just stuck with it. So that had a lot to do with my reaction to seeing it...

I really can't wrap my head around all the healing rules in 5E. Short rest get a bunch of healing. Long rest, you're good as new even though you were carved up for 99% of your entire life force. It's just weird to me, and also eliminates some of the need for healing spells and healing...

Floating down a river split up on two flat boats, the party enters a part of the river where it gets very misty/foggy. The rive slows down a little and deepens on either side of the small island in the middle of the river. It is a densely forested area here. The PC at the front of the first...
