Campaign 2!

Just wanted to update you guys to let you know that my husband and I have already decided on our characters for our next jaunt with DM S!

Stay tuned for more information as we come up with personalities, backstories, etc. ^^

A little help?

Our current campaign with DM S is coming to a close, and while I'm sad to see it go, I am excited for a campaign that actually starts at level 1 and doesn't skip 2-5 levels at a time. ><

Unfortunately as a close to the current story, we have a bit of a puzzle:

We are in a city full of religious zealots, tasked with assassinating as many people in power as we can. We're level 18 and our party consists of the following: Barbarian, Wizard (Illusion school), Cleric (Trickery Domain), Fighter (Champion), and Druid (Circle of the Land). The druid and barbarian have been captured and the high priestess of this place is guarded by a solar.

We've attempted several plans, managed to kill several innocents and lost more than half of the soldiers sent to help us. We even managed to use the Gate spell to summon Geryon in an attempt to fight the solar, but he was ultimately sent back to his domain.

Any ideas? We'd definitely appreciate them!

5 Ways to Traumatize Your Players

"While scanning your monster manual for fresh nasties to batter and maim your closest friends, you may be tempted to flip past the Stirge. As a tiny beast with four measly hitpoints you might fail to see its value as an adversary to even the lowest level adventurers. Stop. I’m about to teach you five steps to turn a buzzing gnat into pure terror and all-out panic.

For the uninitiated, the Stirge is a horrid flying thing that looks like a mixup between a bat and a mosquito. Its wingspan is roughly two feet across, and a six-inch long proboscis hangs limp from its face. To feed, the creature flexes powerful jowl muscles, transforming its sagging sucker into a ridged spike that it plunges deep into the flesh of its prey, drawing great volumes of blood as sustenance. They’re weak, they’re crunchy, they’re barely a snack, but when run right the stirge is absolute nightmare fuel."

Low Magic Campaigns

5 Questions for Low Magic Campaigns

"5th edition Dungeons and Dragons was created to be high magic. Healing is readily available, spellcasters are relatively powerful from their first level, and magic items are often powerful and common. As a reaction to this, a lot of Dungeon Masters try “low magic campaigns” where spellcasters are rare and not allowed as PCs, magic items are nearly impossible to find, and magic itself is either a distant memory or never existed. If this sounds appealing to you, consider the following questions before deciding if you want a low magic campaign."
