Falus (Faa-loose) the White. A 19-year old human shadow sorcerer with alabaster skin and a haunted look in his eye. He and his friends hunted down an undead shadow haunting a local church's catacomb, and though it was defeated he was sapped of his strength and thought dead - and buried. He...

I thought the default for D&D was that demons and devils were bound to their realm, and only by summons via magic or conjurations to the Mortal Realm could they leave it. Or, that's the way it's always been in my game.

I'm to the point that I'd like to see the D&D team design a NEW campaign world, built around 5E. I don't trust them with converting old material any more and would like to see them do a campaign world from scratch that is fully fleshed out. We got a pastiche with Radiant Citadel, but I'd...

They've done it once before, maybe time to bring it back?

I think they did more than enough to make drinking a potion a bonus action. These are spells in a bottle. If the players do not feel that this is good enough, let them suffer without it or they have abilities great enough you don't need to hand them out.

Makes Acquisitions Incorporated sound prophetic in some way...

I wonder if attached to a backplate (metal plate with leather cover) might help mitigate some of the heat, and the lantern would probably be more candle-sized. It'd definitely be a masterwork-style item. Variant might be to use a non-oil substitute - fireflies, fire beetle glands or other...

Got my first game in yesterday, created a randomly generated town and world, and a tweaked version of the free starting adventure. It started off rough (my wife reacts poorly to new RPGs, especially one so free form), but it got quite cinematic by the end. Aiming to have the next session next...

I’ve read too many published adventures over the years, so my notes are pretty much full-blown write-ups. This was my write-up for my Cyre 1313 Halloween adventure, without the maps (made in dungeon fog),logic puzzle key or handouts. [/spoiler]

What a horrible gut-punch for the publishers. If Diamond is legally able to get away with this, I hope the publisher's lawyers would be able to force Diamond to offer the publishers first-buy rights (at pennies on the dollar) to get their stock back to attempt to resell through other avenues...

Limit your players to pulling from no more than 2 books for their abilities. Not so much for the player’s sake, but for the DMs.The more sources the DM has to track or prep for, the less is spent on handling the adventure and actin at hand. Completely personal opinion: 3E is a severe headache...

Tell that to the dragons of Council of Wyrms. How do they get those items on? They have Demi-human (or kobolds, goblins or the like) associates who act as servants, just as any rich individual might.

I’d be inclined to treat it as if it’s taking the “Help” action. May not be elaborate, but should be able to enhance a performance.

Ah, the Xaosect is revealed! None perfectly fit, but if I had to choose, put me in for the Mercykillers, with a side of the Sign of One.
