Character Sheets OOC Community Credit: varg.wikidot.com The morning fog laid chill in the air, a shroud that hid movement and presence at a range beyond twenty meters. An early spring frost had crept in during the small hours, draping icy tendrils on the first shoots of grass naïve enough...

Character Sheets Game Play Thread Community Credit: WotC . . . Source: Starter Set Gundren plunked down a series of small leather pouches, each tied with a careful knot to keep the contents from spilling. One for each of you, by the look of it. When the pouches hit the wooden-planked...

I am unable to use Tapatalk to view conversations on my Samsung Galaxy phone. To be precise, when I attempt to view my messages, the page tries to load but never completes its cycle. I also still show an Inbox and a Sent folder, and still show message titles as those messages existed before...

Maximillian's earthen grasp provides that "[a]s an action, you can cause the hand to reach for a different creature or to move to a different unoccupied space within range." Emphasis mine. If a spellcaster casts the spell and directs it to attack a creature within the specified 30' range, then...

Test.

I'm curious about practice. Which of the core rulebooks have you read in its entirety? I'm not talking about in one sitting. It counts if you're reasonably certain you've read the whole book, even if in multiple disjointed reads spread out over time. Me, I'm pretty sure I've read darn near...

RG Community OOC Credit: pinterest.com Artist: Unknown It had been two days since The Flaying, as His Highness Prince Derendil liked to call it. The Flaying. They took the runty deep gnome, the one with blackest skin. Shoor had laughed his wheezing high-pitched glee at the gnome's...

What's a well-designed high-intrigue published adventure you have direct experience with or know enough about to feel confident recommending? I'm looking for something heavy on social encounters, intrigue, and plot twists. Something Charisma-based characters would excel at. Preferably for...

Which Pathfinder AP has the most intrigue, plot twists, and social interaction? I've run RotRL, and while it's good, it's not what I'm seeking. I want intrigue. Heavy, heavy intrigue. Lots of social encounters. The type of AP that would have Charisma-based characters. So much the better...

I'm super tempted to order the Pathfinder Kingmaker .pdfs and run them for a 5e group. Before I do, anyone know if a fellow gamer has converted them to 5e (and got a link you can share)? If no one's converted Kingmaker, have any others of the Pathfinder APs been converted to 5e?

RG IC Community Credit: Wizards of the Coast Captured by the drow! You wouldn’t wish this fate upon anyone, yet here you are—locked in a dark cave, the cold weight of metal heavy in a tight ring around your throat and wrists. You are not alone. Other prisoners are trapped in here with...

Credit: Wizards of the Coast, Art by Erol Otis In 2004, Dungeon magazine ranked X2 Castle Amber (Chateau d'Amberville) as the 15th greatest D&D module of all-time. Characters explore the haunted mansion of the demented and at times insane d'Amberville family. A strange grey mist shrouds the...

I'm soliciting suggestions from the field for 1e or 2e adventures compatible with 5e. For those whose opinion varies depending on specifics: I'm running five characters (dwarf rogue, dwarf abjurer, halfling barbarian, human cleric, and human fighter) through a 5e PbP version of Stonefast...

The random encounter tables in chapters 2 and 3 of OotA call for no encounter on a die result of 1-13 on a d20. For those of you who have played a session or three of the adventure, is that working or not working for your group? I am considering switching up the ratio so it reads: 1-10...

I will be running OotA. I will also be purchasing digital copies of the maps, and will somehow figure out how to use either Excel or some other mapping tool to create a grid overlay and combat tokens on snippets of combat maps. My digital mapping skill, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I...

The longer I DM, the more I realize that I am happier with fewer rules mechanics and less die rolling and more storytelling. Admittedly, it's not a style everyone prefers. I'm DMing and playing a lot of 5e right now and enjoying the opportunity it affords me to wing it. There are days...

Credit: Know Direction: Pathfinder News, Reviews & Interviews So. This caught my eye. I've been interested for a few months now in running a Cthulu adventure. I checked out Horror on the Orient Express, and while I note it won an ENnie, its behemoth size makes it, I think, untenable for...

Credit: Chaosium, Inc. I'm a huge Agatha Christie fan, and I'm also a fan of PbP gaming. Horror on the Orient Express, a Call of Cthulu mega-adventure, caught my eye today while I was looking at CoC .pdfs. I admit it. I drooled. The .pdf sells for $60. The blurb on the Chaosium website...

I'd like to know whether anyone is interested in playing a solo 5e adventure. That's right. One DM, and one player. I've run a solo PbP in the past, with good results, but that was under the 3.5 rubric. I've been investigating solo modules for 5e, and how to tweak mechanics and player...
