    D&D 5E Ranking the 2014-2024 5E Adventures

    We've done this before, but with all of the official adventures of the 2014/5E era now published, it seemed like the right time to look back on them as a whole. In the past, the campaign-length adventures have often been lumped in with the anthology/compilation books, but I'm gonna create two...

    D&D General 2024 official book release dates...

    ...is it weird that we don't know any of them yet? Don't we pretty much always know when at least the next book coming out is scheduled to publish?

    D&D General Adventure Titles

    Adventure titles are hard. What are some of your favorite titles from pre-published adventures? A lot of the official 5E ones read like marketing copy soup to me. I'm gonna disqualify anything with a colon in the title as being hopeless. Rime of the Frostmaiden, Dragon Heist, and Dungeon of the...

    Elissar/To Save A Kingdom PodCast Party: Memories of Holdenshire

    I'm a player in one of the Level Up A5E actual play shows that will be starting in October: I play Mercury, the tiefling cleric. This is our first experience with Level Up A5E; we had our first recording session this past Sunday evening (covering our first two episodes) and everyone was very...

    Level Up (A5E) Pre-Gen Question

    Very specific. This pre-gen level 1 rogue, Gwyven, has a Maneuver DC of 15. I think Maneuver DC = 8 + prof bonus + dex or str bonus. This character has a Dex bonus of +3, so my group thinks his Maneuver DC should be 13 (8+2+3). But we might be missing something? Is it a Rogue ability somewhere...

    Level Up (A5E) Newbie subclass/archetype question

    I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but I wasn't able to find it with a quick search. Currently building my first Level Up character. Just wanted to check whether the Level Up archetypes and subclass options are intended to replace the official 5E ones, or are just additional options?

    D&D 5E The Short Rest Adventuring Party

    Another thread got me thinking about this. With the short rest mechanic seemingly being phased out for the 2024 rules, I am wondering if anybody has had the experience of playing or DMing with a party where all the characters were short-rest focused (or were running things like the Champion...

    D&D General Do you use Alignment in your D&D games?

    For me, the alignment of my characters is a way to help me think about how to roleplay them, but it's just part of a mosaic and I don't view it as a restriction. I don't think in terms of "my character wouldn't do this because he's lawful good" or "my character is doing this because he's chaotic...

    Critical Role Critical Role Campaign 3 Discussion (SPOILERS)

    My unsolicited Critical Role Campaign 3 episode 1 thoughts, having watched the first half while not paying very close attention to it. I was fine with it by the end of the first half. However, if I was a brand new viewer I 100% would not have made it through the opening 10 minute intro/shilling...

    WotC Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Story Hook Advice

    Please forgive this very niche topic. Starting DoMM campaign on Monday. No idea how far we'll really get. This is a very casual group of players that has a tendency not to remember or track story arcs or plot points, so I thought this plot-lite adventure might work for them. I would never run...

    “You do realize”

    You do realize that when you start a post with the phrase “You do realize”, you sound like a douche. Suggestion: I know this probably can’t happen, but I wish there could be a macro that automatically replaced “You do realize” with “I am beautiful” or something equally non-insufferable.

    Shadow Sorcerer vs Hexblade Warlock vs Grave Cleric

    I'm working on a new character, and this is what I know about him: He is a halfling vagrant, driven from town to town, subsisting on begging and odd jobs. One night he takes shelter for the night in a graveyard, and is forced to hide in a mausoleum when undead rise from their graves. They...
