Thoughts on 2016 and Plans for 2017

2016 was good for me as far as gaming goes. I was able to start playing again after a long time away from the table. I am now playing in a Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition game every Tuesday night and running one every Saturday. On Tuesdays, I am playing an orc barbarian in a Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign. (I was playing a human bard until she got killed.) On Saturdays, I am the DM for an Age of Worms campaign. It was written for 3.5 but I am running it converted to 5th edition.

Earlier in 2016, I subscribed to Dungeon Crate and I have just started a subscription to RPG Crate. So far I like Dungeon Crate and will let you know what I think of RPG Crate. Reading the reviews, I have high hopes for it.

The response to this blog has been very encouraging. In January 2015 I had 58 followers. I now have 265 followers. Thank you very much! I will be adding my thoughts and ideas as well as reference material and updates to my player’s sheet. I didn’t work on my “Dragon Hunt” novel much last year, but I intend to get back to work on that this year. I expect there to be a lot of new material published for 5th edition this year. I am sure that I will be getting copies of all of the supplements, adventures, and expanded rulebooks, but I will continue to focus this blog on the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide and Monster Manuel.

Happy new year. I hope all of your rolls are successes!

    Thanks Ronny, and keep the emails coming! I like the information in them.

    I have Hoard of the Dragon Queen and The Rise of Tiamat but haven’t read through them yet. I just finished reading through the PHB. I’m currently reading through Lost Mine of Phandelver so I can DM it with my wife and daughters. I assume that reading through a story/campaign beforehand is a good idea if you going to be a DM. I recently just bought the Out of the Abyss story; I really like the Drow storyline; especially Drizzt.

    Talk to you later.

      I haven’t read the Dragon Queen or The Rise of Tiamat because I am a player. The DM gripes a lot about it though. But yes, I can’t stress enough how much easier it is to DM an adventure if you have read through it a couple of times, at least. Drizzit is cool. I have only read one of the books and I can’t remember which one.

        I’m taking my group through Tyranny of Dragons and have just embraced it’s faults and a chance for me to add my own bits into the game…like your Alabaster Portal idea. Have fun with the dragons.
