D&D 5E 5e CB's Stonefast OOC -- COMPLETE

[CanadienneBacon]

Mithgarthr Entertainment designed it for 5e. Though, it came out before the Aug 17 Sage Advice.

I'll know by tonight whether we're going to use delay. Normally, I'd implement delay; however, my purpose in running Stonefast remains 5e rules familiarization, making it likely that we will NOT use delay.

 

[Skarsgard]

It took me a while to get over the fact there was no delay(our group tried to include it and after a couple of sessions we got rid of it as it just led to "optimization" mentality), i think it feels more organic without it and whilst you don't get your full action with Ready you can still get a fair bit done.

Do we have any reach weapons in the party?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

We will not be using delay.

Do we have any reach weapons in the party?

I hadn't thought you guys had a reach weapon, and a check of the RG revealed that my intuition was correct. Nary a reach weapon on anyone's sheet.

Clearly I was wrong about the provenance of Stonefast. I should have looked it up. . . .

 

[CanadienneBacon]

If you elect to look it up, be advised I have gone "off roading" with respect to stocking the dungeon with encounters.

I ordered the 5e Monster Manual; it'll be here Friday. I'll pick up the DMG in a week or so. With these purchases, I'm committing to 5e as my system of choice, and am likely to run games in the future. Not sure whether those games will be tabletop or PbP. If PbP, they'll be here; I live in the sticks and work long hours, so PbP is the more likely of the two since it better suits my schedule. Sometime later this week, I'll pop a .pdf of the free 5e rules on a USB drive and will store that in my work desk drawer (a happy compromise between storing the .pdf on my hard drive and stashing a hardcover in my filing cabinet drawer).

You all have been amazingly patient with me as I learn. Thanks.

I think we're all still learning 5e; I know I am. Thank you for running this adventure for us.

Since the offer was extended... I did a quick google search. It looks like this is an adaptation to an old BECMI adventure, with the map specifically having been lifted. Didn't read any of the rest of it or check out the map, even thoguh CB changed a lot of stuff, didn't want any tip-offs. <- I actually love messing with existing adventures and changing what different things do, catches any sneaks by surprise, LOL.

Definitely agree, thanks for running this adventure. It's been a lot of fun.
