What would make a new setting UNQUIE? (Hated that word in west Berlin). Unless you filter/curate some of the official books, what could you add. Waterdeep heist could be expanded but it has some kitchen sink problems. Autognomes and artificer gives a splash of Eberron. The flying monkeys gives...

Note AL guidelines are being updated. Final draft should drop at the end of the month. Circle casting will be option, so my group is going to play test it. The primary caster must be within 30 feet of the seconds. I ruled they have to maintain this through the spell. It doesn't trigger until...

Any spell that has a casting time of an action or 1 minute or longer... holy long sentence batman. Why not any spell which is not a bonus action.

Speed bump combats. You know the ones the party going to win and the monsters may live to the end of round.

most of those are humanoid. Aka stand on two feet. I think the OP wants more Mr. Ed.

As Dm on my sign in sheet I have a start and end time which I suppose to use for Adventure League DM points. My friday night game generally runs 3 hours. So with just my Princes run I am over 60+

The fight started with 2 water weirds and 2 dark tide knights. All are cr 3. The two reasons this fight lasted as long as it did is because the opening criticals. And me using the underwater terrain. I was rolling 17+ on saves for the first two rounds of combats. And yes I made adjustments since...

Just notice session above has the wrong level of people. They were mostly nine.

Quick after play demo review. I demoed this set today for about 4 hours. All 3 players had a few months experience. The Bad. Very childish suitable for 10 years old. With no story connection. The good. The player who took the player card fully enjoyed the experience and loved the various...
