The DMG should also help you with this.

I use my judgement on whether to roll for lore. If I believe that some aspects of the monster would be common knowledge I share it freely. The rest certainly does require knowledge checks.

The main real differences are in the damage scaling and the mitigation of some of the old-school effects (like save or die).

If anyone wants to propose some for porting I'll pitch in and help do th ...

It actually looks pretty easy. Did you have any particular spells in mind??

FWIW I am running a campaign using the 1e/2e Greyhawk material with the 5e rules. I've not yet bothered to port anything to 5e, I simply use the equivalent monsters. It's gone very well so far and the ...

The Sorcerer is very weak.

Here's what we are doing to compensate...
Allow pure Spell Point casting without penalty. PCs simply convert all slots to Spell Points and add the base Sorcery Points ...

Thread subscription notifications also seem to have the same issue :-(

I am on the fence! I want to like it ....
You aren't alone here.

I don't like this whole short, long rest concept makes the game feel to much like you playing a video game.
We like it quite a lo ...

I've not seen anything from WotC indicating that they plan on releasing any new Greyhawk content and the Forgotten Realms is still their default and flagship setting. That doesn't mean it won't happen ...

Thank you for moving this thread to the appropriate forum. And my apologies, I didn't see that forum or I would have posted it there!

I used the direct phpBB URL http://www.canonfire.com/cf/module ...

Thanks, I'll try Cebrion.

I will be definitely be buying the core rules - PHB, MM & DMG.

You can get basic for free right now [url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/basicrules]here.

I've been in the playtest since the very beginning and have been fortunate enough to have some ongoing involvement with 5e.

I ran two I6 Ravenloft one-shots under the playtest. The first time was a ...

I want to subscribe to our new 5e forum!

Every new thread, every new post... I want an email!

Normally with phpBB there's a "Subscribe Forum" button atthe bottom left corner of the page... But i ...

Why yes. Yes! You can be our scapegoa... Uh... "Mayor". Yes. Done.

FWIW I'm all for multi-symbology. If you look at our "real" world multi-symbology is pretty common amongst our varied spiritual beliefs. I think that's a good case for using it in Oerth...

What takes precedence? A single reference in an older module, which may have been overlooked? Slightly later references in the same edition? Meh, not my call - though I'm sure most punters will miss t ...

Glad I could help! I figure something like the symbol at the bottom would be commonly used by his followers, for example when consecrating something in Bleredd's name...

You mean the actual symbol his clerics would carry?

Room. Big red button. When the PCs enter the room goes into lockup and a countdown starts.

Dress it up with a big ole dragon statue, inactive portal to the Abyss or something similar and foreboding ...

Wewp! 576CY! Thank you so much!

Yeah I figured that would be best, lol.

I'll be starting with a generic "1e/2e -> 5e conversion guide".

So I can start to post "conversion" notes on here and they'll end up in the 5e forum? Cool!!

You mean there's no Greyhawk for "Next" yet? Well there wasn't for 4e, but we have a forum for Greyhawk on 4e.

Or maybe you mean "Next" isn't released? Well, the materials are freely available from ...

Well after 21 years working in IT/IS it's something I don't accept :-)

Someone has broken part of the phpBB implementation, but it can be fixed. It shouldn't be that hard... Well it's not that hard ...

I'm finding it a bit trying to use the forums due to a couple of apparent bugs.

1. New Posts aren't staying "new". That is, the forums main page shows sub-forums as having new posts. But opening th ...

I'm not saying you need an spell equivalent to Gentle Repose to contraindicate using Purify in the manner we are discussing. I am saying the existence of an equivalent would support not using Purify i ...

Yes it was Raise Dead I was thinking of, not Resurrection. Apologies for the mixups, it's been too long since I worked closely with 2e spells :) I'm preparing to run the 1e/2e Greyhawk material under ...

I'm starting a campaign running Greyhawk on D&D Next - first game is 30-Nov! I'm using 1e/2e Greyhawk - pre "From The Ashes" material. It fits great and the monsters (especially 1e) are so easy to ...

I like the out-of-the-box thinking.

Certainly I'd allow it to make the dead fellow's meat suitable to eat, and hence not decay, so long as they can cast it on that volume of flesh.

Resurrection ...

Thanks for the warm welcome folks! Yes, the wiki is very useful, as is the forums... Er. I'm actually hard-pressed to pick something on Canonfire that is not useful! LOL!

Now I'm picturing that. C ...
