Do you suppose a beholder sleeps with one eye open? All the little eye stalks closed but the large central eye remains open, unblinking, staring into the abyss.

Into the Wyrd and Wyld also has some dark creepy fey vibes. It's another resource I'm using for Dolmenwood, haven't looked at it since a campaign a couple years ago.

I think you could remove ability scores/modifiers and still be DnD, after all, pre-wotc it was far more likely that you wouldn't have a bonus or penalty and it didn't impact your character that much. You'd have to make some changes, especially since in 5e the stat bonuses are a large part of...

A while ago I posted an image of Valeria from a description of her in the REH story, Red Nails and since I've been reading a lot of the old marvel Conan comics, here he is. I think he's become the iconic barbarian so it didn't need much in the way of description, I just used his the classic...

I'd suggest finding a book on folk tales or a dictionary of fairy tales, I've been looking through a couple of dictionaries for my Dolmenwood campaign and they are loaded with ideas that should be fairly easy to turn into encounters for any version of DnD.

I have tended to play or run longer campaigns, but the few one offs I've played in have been great to try out different classes. Generally I think that they're pretty low effort in character creation, the DM can even provide premades for players if it's also a brand new system and you're wanting...

The cat takes the fish. Cthulu: "THE PACT IS SEALED"

I'm very much a #5 when it comes to my characters, when I leave a game I don't really worry what becomes of the PC I was running; though I have asked an old DM what he did to an old PC of mine, I think he just retired him to his home town.

With the white font colour, I thought you had to actually be able to scry on WotC to divine what it was about.

That's a good point, a few of the races in dolmenwood have better skills that would grant them advantage on the check.

I think mainly that the time would be reduced to 1 minute/level to bring it more in line with other spells that were also similarly reduced in duration. I was actually thinking that 1 minute/level would be the same as greater invisibility, but I checked just now and saw that it was 1...

I'd say that, depending on how you're using time, you could essentially say that each attempt takes 1 turn. Eventually they'll roll their target number and then you can just mark off an amount of time which might be important if you're tracking things like torches (can the team afford the thief...

That's the sort of terror I'd love to inspire when using light sources.
