Colette asks – Hi! I’m DMing a campaign for three friends, and one of those friend’s girlfriends is interested in joining. I like her and think she’ll be fine, but I’m having trouble thinking up a way to work a completely new character into the story. For reference – this is a D&D 5e game …
All great plans must answer a single question that is often overlooked – how the hell are you going to extract yourself from your current pickle that you have created for yourself? And this is where we find our heroes in today’s adventure. Sure, you could be tempted to assume they only wanted this airship because …
Tim asks – I currently play a wizard in my D&D 5e campaign. Folks listen to our game so the advice I am looking for is – what are some fun things to make your wizard feel truly magical. He is incredibly talented but with a good heart so figuring out better and flashier ways …
With our perfect disguises on we are ready to head into The White Spire with an all expenses paid trip to Nareev. Things are certainly getting tense, what with out goal just a few short feet away. Danger is breathing down our necks. Trust comes slowly since anyone could be a Nareevian agent. But with …
Claudio asks – My players and I are in the middle of a long campaign. There are five players in the group and the rest of the campaign is probably going to deal with three of them primarily, since the other two have more or less resolved their character’s storylines. The characters themselves don’t really …
Glaine, the Jewel of the East, sure is nice for being a town taken over by goo-folks. While people seem to be generally bummed about the whole thing, the magical floating city almost makes the sky more beautiful. Street meat still tastes as good. The alleys still smelly. Sure is odd finding all this normal …
After the gang catches their breath from the previous night’s battle it is time to face the music. Not the beautiful music Val plays, no, the music of the reality that is their situation. They have chosen to leave Norhall behind in hopes of saving the land from evil forces! This is a 5e Dungeons & …
Beth asks – I’m in a campaign with a GM I generally like, but one thing he does is really grating. Whenever we’re in combat and he’s rolling for an enemy, he’ll curse if he rolls a miss or a critical failure. That is, he’ll roll for an enemy, that enemy will whiff and his …
The wonderful denizens of Tidtowne offered their aid to our desperate heroes who sorely needed a helping hand. Now victory over the forces of Nareev seems somewhat possible as opposed to a 100% suicide mission. The floating magical city is still a mystery, but one victory at a time. The fighting force of Tidtowne should …
Max asks – I’m running a short adventure for some friends, some of whom know each other well and some who haven’t met each other. All of them are experienced role players. How do I minimize awkwardness and maximize fun? Building rapport among gamers that haven’t yet gamed together is an important part of any …
