    D&D General PCs jumping to other campaigns/DMs

    The other thread about PCs becoming NPCs after the player stopped playing or the group started another campaign got me to this thought. Would you allow Pcs to play in other games/campaigns with other DMs and come back? I see on one hand where my group played in a series of rotating DMs for...

    D&D 5E Apprentice Wizard- Arcane Burst power

    I was doing some prep work and came across this monster/NPC statblock listed for a NPC in the game. It is from the Monsters of the Multiverse MotM) book and I see that casting is moved to the Actions section where weapon attacks are generally, but I wanted to focus on the Arcane Burst feature...

    Great Scott, not another movie

    Drolling around You Tube and saw a trailer about this movie. Is there nothing original? Although, it does look rather good.

    D&D General Character named after someone more famous.

    Another thread got me thinking of some of my old characters and who they were named after. Thought other might like to post. My brother had a dwarf in the basic/1e days named after the wrestler Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. He was just named Snuka but everyone knew. Much later I recall a...

    D&D 5E Greater Invisibility and Flanking?

    Had a situation come up last night with a PC using greater invisibility attacking a monster. Another PC came over to attack the same monster and wanted to flank. My first thought was that the second PC could not see the first PC, so no flanking bonus. A player argued that the monster is...

    D&D 5E Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Q3

    So, finally some information on this new campaign coming out in Q3 this year. I cut and pasted most of the below from here, but it looks like it is what is in the general release. The next Dungeons & Dragons adventure will pay off a story hook teased in multiple campaigns over the course of...

    10pm, do you know where your bots are?

    I just seem to notice the 10pm is when the bots post crap threads and college clicks in Chinese. Not sure when this happens in your world, but the mods do a good job of clearing them up. Thank you

    D&D Movie/TV Dungeons & Dragons movie prescreening for Amazon Prime members March 19th

    I saw this just now after watching a movie. Not sure if other movies do this and to how much, or if they are pushing this movie more. Amazon Prime members in the United States can buy tickets to join the adventure on Sunday, March 19. The one-day screening will take place at 2:00pm local time...

    A Meme thread as a break from the torches and pitchforks.

    Just funny memes from the last week instead of all the other stuff.

    D&D General Thank you Moderators

    Just wanted to say thank you to the mods on this site for the last week(s) of activity and how things are being handled. Seems like the site is in overdrive with threads and posts about the Apocalypse of Destruction raining down from the Heavens. All the mods deserve a thank you for your work...

    Christmas Music

    I like Christmas Music, a bit more than my wife and others that I know, but wanted to get a feel of what people here think. November 1st came and no radio station in my area is playing Christmas music. I'm guessing one will start in a couple weeks and the rest will start to follow soon after...

    D&D 5E Using updated Exhaustion rules in Halloween 1-shot

    I'm going to run a Halloween 1-shot with some undead and such but wanted to give the final encounter some more drama. I was thinking a disease, but need it to mean something in the moment and not in 1d4 days or such. I was thinking of using the new, proposed Exhaustion rules where you get a -1...

    DART asteroid impact

    By now I just spent 40 minutes watching a tiny dot on TV turn into a large asteroid and have a satellite crash into it. Scientists have developed this test to see if they can divert threat asteroids that may hit the Earth like in the movies. Not sure why I found this so fascinating. It is the...

    D&D General Bringing the succubus back to town

    My home group is running through Forge of Fury and met with the succubus. They all think that it's a trap and she is a devil or vampire or something since she was all by herself with a ghost and has no food with her. They went down a level and encountered a dragon and not the mage like her...

    D&D General Does you campaign setting match where you live?

    I was thinking about this the other day coming home from vacation in Florida to Massachusetts. We left a place where it is 80 degrees with warm, moist winds and palm trees to arrive at a bleak landscape of 48 degrees and trees that still look like dead twigs. It had me thinking that most of my...

    D&D 5E How powerful to make a hireling

    My group of 7th level PCs hired some hirelings to pull camp duty and watch over the horses while they go into the dungeon. They are paying the base 2gp per day and wanted some sort of competent people since they are going to hunt a dragon. I took a basic guard statblock of 2HD and added...

    D&D 5E Proficiency bonus for NPCs and monsters

    I was looking at some stat blocks and was going to raise one of the to-hit modifiers since I saw the proficiency bonus was +2 for a veteran with 9hd. I saw a chart saying that the bonus is tied to challenge rating (CR) and the veteran is a CR3 creature even though it has 9HD. Then I looked...

    D&D General What should I spend money on now that I'm not going to the local Convention?

    My local convention is slated for next month and the most recent update has the event schedule showing only a small handful of 5e games and a couple random older D&D games to play. It appears that the local group that handles Adventure League (AL) and the one that handles Pathfinder has pulled...

    D&D General Christmas is coming

    Now that it is November, I started looking for Christmas music on the radio, but have not found any yet. I also started to look at D&D related gifts for my table and more specifically, my son. There is also the shipping container ship-show, so that may affect things if one does not start now...
