As the title, our local library has offered D&D in the past, and I'm going to offer to DM. It's light on details at the moment, but I'm looking for advice. It'll be 5e. Any tips you all have? Any suggested adventures? Things to avoid? Personal experiences doing this (or something similar) you'd...

It may be called the ORC license right now, but that doesn't mean the community cannot give it its own nickname. Reading the beginning of this thread, I am heartened by the banding together of the little guys to take on Sauron. That is what this whole debacle feels like to me. They have...

Can a person in gaseous form move through an enemy's square? I don't deny they'd provoke an attack of opportunity, but is it possible to move through them, or are they trapped in? I'd think by raw, there's nothing in the spell that says they can...but consider: A vampire is killed in a room...

I'm curious if anyone has ever DMed a Tornado, and any elements of the event. I've randomly rolled a Tornado that lasts 60 minutes, and will be hitting the structure (a huge mountain with caverns) that the players are in. Though rules systems are not necessarily important for your comments...

The scene: It is a small vale, cut off from the rest of the world/help for 3 months of winter. Normally a very holy site, Asmodean cultists and their bugbear army have taken it over, seeking to slay everyone in the vale --especially any clerics/spellcasters and to prevent people from seeking...

Here's an interesting article on Kobold Quarterly's website: The Lost GM Scrolls: Mike Mearls on Stepping Up and Taking a Poke at the World / Kobold Quarterly

Here it is discussed that WotC are choosing not to implement a mechanic to counter the 15mad. http://www.enworld.org/forum/new-horizons-upcoming-edition-d-d/326541-five-minute-workday-article.html There is a lot of discussion about whether or not the 15mad is even a problem...but regardless of...

A thought occurred to me as I rewatched xmen 1 for the umpteenth time. "What ABOUT power mismatches?" What about a game that acknowledged them (like the avengers: Hulk vs. Hawkeye)? There has been much debate regarding fighters and wizards...and rogues versus jedi, and such and so on...

I'm looking for any and all in game ways to get either 2 green hags or 2 night hags as followers (for a witch who counts as a hag). I've considered planar binding/planar ally, charm monster (or person?), geas, etc. but I'm not really happy with anything I've come up with. Another option might...

I'm not complaining...just making sure things are working as they should be. I've gotten xp recently (and over the last several weeks/months) and haven't "levelled"...and I'm not sure (haven't payed close enough attention) if I've gotten xp for the "who has the most xp" page. If everything...

I was thinking about how my group, which is largely the same group of people from college plays D&D and I realized, in the context of different groups having different styles, that we all learned to play together. Hence, we all have the same style, whatever the rulebooks guided (or future...

Since not all fiends are created equal, I thought I'd take a stab at modifying the half fiend template to a half daemon template. All abilities are as per half fiend template, except where noted. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/templates/half-fiend Creating a Half-Daemon...

Forked from: http://www.enworld.org/forum/news/325522-playtest-update.html What if the game were structured around parties not needing a healer? What if standard play involved more caution regarding getting into fights, and more caution about not getting hurt? Healing is generally...

Mostly I just want 5e to take the best of all prior editions and cobble together a fantastic D&D experience. I want that to the degree that I hope they restrain themselves from introducing too many new rules or elements that don't hearken back to at least one (but ideally more than one) prior...

The only rules for this thread: 1. Post a villainous theme song. 2. Embed or link to the source song so that others can hear it. NOTE! You don't have to use youtube, but if you do, to embed, you just copy and paste the url. Nothin fancy. (Just thought I'd help things along there...I always...

I'm looking to hear from everyone (from OD&D through 4e) in terms of what they think the best adventure product is (an adventure product can be a single adventure or a campaign/adventure path or mega-adventure) that's come out in the last year or two. Ideally it'd still be in print.

Forked from: http://www.enworld.org/forum/news/324875-monster-design-d-d-next.html I was REALLY optimistic earlier on for D&DN (and when Monte was on board) with their "flavor first" philosophy. Now I read this: That's what makes a hook horror what it is? Clicking, hooks, climbing, and...

I'm running Way of the Wicked by Fire Mountain Games, in which players play villians, beginning as servants of a cleric of Asmodeus (and likely worshiping the dark lord of lies themselves). So I've been reading up on him. There are several origin stories, but the coolest, IMO, and the oldest...

After reading about the dragonborn trademark issue, I got to thinking about dragonboobs again...and stumbled on a character concept. We know dragons lay eggs, and I think dragonborn do as well. So I'm thinking about male eastern mythology dragonborn with the wispy moustache like gold...

Many of the concerns of balance and flavor etc seem to be on the encounter level. It's my contention that this is a somewhat boring level on which to focus in terms of storytelling. The encounter level is a fragment of the game, and I'd like to see more of a focus on the whole of an experience...
