  • Changes to D&D Adventurers League Rewards
    Changes to D&D Adventurers League Rewards Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGE) presents our campaign with a number of exciting possibilities, including the chance reconceptualize and simplify how we handle rewards. With the start of season 8, the D&D Adventurers League (DDAL) will be undergoing a sweeping overhaul of many of our rulesets and here we focus on how we can make our system of rewards fit more styles of play and give players more choices. Let’s take a look at the new changes regarding rewards. Advancement Checkpoints Starting with Season 8, the DDAL will be using the Advancement Checkpoint system described in XGE with some slight adjustments (see below). This system rewards every character (and player) for taking part in a play session. For published hardcover adventures, a character receives 1 advancement checkpoint for each hour played that DM deems the characters are making progress towards the adventure’s goals. For all other types of Adventurer’s League adventures, the adventure’s prescribed duration determines the number of advancement checkpoints that a character receives, with those checkpoints being awarded for achieving specific goals listed in the adventure. The Fruits of Success and Price of Failure Some adventures may award or subtract an advancement checkpoint based on the level of success. For example, your party might complete an epic quest and save all the land, receiving a bonus checkpoint, or they might choose to let all the innocents burn in favor of sleeping in, losing an advancement checkpoint from their total for playing that adventure. Playing Out of Tier References to rewards for playing above or below a character’s tier are ignored.

The chapter on demon lords mentions aspects of the demon lords as more common foes than the demon lords themselves, FIENDISH but few aspects are presented in the book since the ASPECTS designers put so many other useful things in that tome. Well, that is where this little guide comes in. In A Web Enhancement for Fiendish this combined edition of Fiendish Aspects, you’ll meet eleven aspects of demon lords, all suitable for mid- Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss level campaigns.

  • H-4 the Throne of Bloodstone
    H-4 The Throne of Bloodstone Conversion Guide Introduction: In 1988, TSR published the module named “The Throne of Bloodstone” with the code “H4”. It was written by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson as the culmination to the H-series, which came to be known as a high- level adventure series of modules. The module is the longest in the H-series, and like H2, it offers opportunities to use Battlesystem rules for the large-scale battles. Nonetheless, H4 provides a sufficiently flexible story to allow DM's to either use or ignore the mass combat components of the adventure. H4 consists of a 96-page story, with several pages of maps for battle encounters and dungeon exploration. This conversion guide allows DMs to run the original module with 5th Edition rules and provides a reference sheet for encounters.

  • Orcus Page 1
    Orcus D.Garry Stupack The party paused outside the age-cracked doors. Huge doors that would belabor a giant. Doors that had, invitingly, been left wide open. The Prince of Undeath knew they were coming. He awaited his guests within. His final approach to godhood had been well planned, and this ‘expected’ final rally of champion mages, priests and weaponmasters at his threshold would be only a brief distraction. The Heroes exchanged a last look, hesitating, seeking reassurance. Reconsidering, perhaps? From within, a deep rumble of stone on stone mingled with primeval chanting. It urged them on, urged them forward. The time for choosing had passed. It was finally time to meet Orcus... The Orcus scenario is for use with the Gargantuan Orcus collectable figure. In this scenario, a warband of up to 8 brave creatures tries to defeat Orcus while he is empowered within one of his lairs. One player assumes the role of Orcus and his minions, while the other controls the intrepid Heroes. Warband Construction & Map Map: The map is chosen by the player controlling Orcus. He may choose from the following list of maps: Dungeon of Blood, Temple of the Unseeing, Hailstorm Tower, Magma Keep. Warbands: The creature controlling the warband challenging Orcus must construct a legal 765 point warband, containing up to 8 creatures (the Heroes). Faction and alignment rules apply. The player controlling Orcus sets up first, placing in any victory area on the map. The player controlling the Heroes may then set up in either of the start areas. During play, Orcus is not required to summon creatures from within his faction, but may not summon good creatures.

  • H-2 the Mines of Bloodstone
    H-2 The Mines of Bloodstone Conversion Guide Introduction: In 1986, TSR published the module named “The Mines of Bloodstone” with the code “H2”. It was written by Douglas Niles and Michael Dobson as a sequel to H1, which was originally conceived of as a stand-alone adventure. Unlike H1, “The Mines of Bloodstone” was not primarily designed to highlight Battlesystem, which provided rules for mass combat in the form of miniature wargaming, and instead gave DM's the option to use Battlesystem for the large-scale battles, or to have them take place off stage. H2 thus consisted of a 48-page story, with several pages of maps for battle encounters and dungeon th exploration. This conversion guide allows DMs to run the original module with 5 Edition rules and provides a reference sheet for encounters.
