Take care, guys! I am off visiting the nieces and nephew! Will post when I can!
Have fun. Weekend ok. lots of preparation or work though.
Good news, DM! The new AL DM Guide came out and now, all previous season modules are now subject to an hourly XP/gold award for DMs. (Though I believe it is based on how long the module is rated to take, rather than actual time.) Which means that you can get gold for running this mod!
Anyway, thought I'd share.
Aloha!
You got gold for DMing previously, half theDM XP you earned. Though, what to do with thousands of gold is something else, only so many potions and mundane pieces you need. REALLY wish you could buy uncommon magic items with gold and downtime.
Actually, you didn't for the modules. You got what was listed. Previously, the DM rewards table was only for hardcovers and the starter set. Which meant running the Tyranny of Dragons season modules gave you great XP awards, but 0 gold. (I got this directly from the admins on the D&D Local Coordinator FB page.)
Now everything follows the same DM Award structure. :)
EDIT: You can buy uncommon magic items with DT and gold once you reach rank 3 in your faction. This means you need to reach level 5 and are restricted to +1 magic arms and armor. Each faction gets access to a miscellaneous magic item based on the faction.
Interesting, my area was playing it wrong I guess, because we've been getting gold for modules and hardcovers both, and have been for the past 6 months at least.
Hard for a primarily DM PC to get to rank 3 in a faction though. I have a level 8 cleric who has participated in only 2 modules, neither of which gave him anything for rank ups. He has over 10k gold, and no clue what to spend it on.
I wish there was a way to Rank Up in DM rewards, or not frown upon targeting missions for characters to enable faction progression.
If you look at the published amount of gold you got for previous modules*, it tended to be half the XP you received.
Later on, they just flat out stated you get 1/2 gold as you do XP.
:)
*Well, all the modules I've looked at. :)
Hey DM, how's the family doing?

All except for season 1, that is. ;) In fact, wouldn't be surprised if this mod gives 300 xp and no gold.
But Seraphyna is right. You still do not get any renown for DMing, so it is extremely difficult to get a DM credit character up in rank.
Beryl is primarily my DM PC. This is the only the second time that I have been able to play him. He has zero renown, because he switched to Harpers after I played the first module.
How does this "recover during a short rest work". This is my first time playing 5E and I must of missed it when I was looking the rules over. I'm guessing roll your hit dice and add your CON bonus?
I want to thank you all for bearing with me as my posting rate hasn't really been what I expected it to be. Nor the quality of my posts truth be told. Real life has been tossing some real curve balls at me the last few weeks and I'm having trouble giving the online games I've committed to the attention they deserve.
I'm not giving up by any means but don't be afraid to bot me if waiting on me is slowing things down.
No problem Garth!
I forgot some folks are new to 5e.
Short Rest
A short rest is a period of downtime, at least 1 hour long, during which a character does nothing more strenuous than eating, drinking, reading, and tending to wounds.
A character can spend one or more Hit Dice at the end of a short rest, up to the character’s maximum number of Hit Dice, which is equal to the character's level. For each Hit Die spent in this way, the player rolls the die and adds the character’s Constitution modifier to it. The character regains hit points equal to the total. The player can decide to spend an additional Hit Die after each roll.
So as you say, you roll your Hit Die and add your Con mod, regaining that many HP up to your max hit points of course.
Some class abilities refresh after a Short rest as well. Like the fighters Second Wind or Action Surge and the Warlocks Spell Slots.
Hmm seems I've missed a few posts in this thread during the great no "X new" blackout of 2017...
No worries, boss! ^_^

Something odd with that link? It's opening the campaign tab of this game?
Just copy the text, it works that way.

How's it going? Everyone have a good weekend?
It was a good one. We had the finale to our Star Wars campaign against a Sith Lord... sucker survived though. Also started a new D&D campaign in which, my Paladin unexpectedly turned into a Polynesian Wayfinder Paladin, Oath of the Ancients... All-in-all, pretty good. ^_^ And yours?
It went well. Had an Easter egg hunt at my parents house for the kids. They liked it.
My gaming night is Tuesdays. We just started a 2e spelljammer game. No idea how long that will last.
Nice! My gaming days/nights tend to be Saturday/Sunday. I was lucky, because this weekend I didn't need to run at all!
Friday during the day, I will be running for the Gamers Club at the college, so it will begin again! ;)
Mine wasn't too bad, lots of time with the family. My game night is Friday, running Princes of the Apocalypse for some friends. Wish I could game more often.
Very busy Easter long weekend for me with a lot of driving, camping and visit in my wife's family. Now we're having a vacation on the north east coast of Australia. Very nice...
Kip, do you live in Australia?
'Phyna, we always need good DMs...
I've got one game a week. The rest is done on pbp.
Four games here (although one is barely active and two are ending soon), and one game on GitP.
I was in three other games on GitP, but two of those died somewhere between recruitment and the start of the game (got accepted in the game, but then the gm disappeared), and the third ended a week in as only three of the six people accepted ever posted and then the gm disappeared.
There are a lot more 5e games over there, but they are a lot more unreliable.
I am pretty lucky. We are just starting an AL legal Lost Mines of Phandelver on Fridays, then with a different group we play on Saturdays (though sometimes every other). Sundays, I am usually running a Forgotten Realms campaign that started from the Legacy of the Crystal Shard D&D Encounters game and continued through me winging a parallel adventure to the War of the Silver Marches in the latest Drizzt novels. It is currently, simultaneously, going through Storm King's thunder and Princes of the Apocalypse. We only took a little time to finish up a Star Wars campaign that was on hiatus for several months that gave me a little rest.
^_^
I do indeed live in Australia. In the Blue Mountains (That's just west of Sydney.)
Nice! International crew! I'm in Hawaii. :)
Scotland here
Woo hoo! That is so awesome. This is what I love about online games...
California.
With Rakish holding down our west coast, its only fitting someone hold down the east... Connecticut here.
Also, mad props to any who recognize the chant without google :D
Hmm, I gots nuffin'. ^_^
EDIT: Reminds me of Twin suns aligned, pour forth their light and fill the archer's bow with might!
I know that spell ... and am greatly relieved that your version did not have the effectives of the orginal.
As to my location, American Midwest - close enough to Cincinnati, Ohio that on the global scale it makes no difference.
Edit
Never heard of that fan fic, but I own every season of the anime the spell originated in. I actually prefer the chant of the Giga version, but this one seemed to fit better.
Holy crap, I haven't heard Giga Slave and Dragon Slave for a LONG time!
Nice call, Linna! >_<
I play in a D&D game fortnightly on Saturday nights, we just started Storm Kings Thunder. Before that I was GMing D&D in the group's homebrewed setting (three of us collectively created it and we all add to it as we need to.
I also play in a fortnightly Wednesday night Star Wars (Saga ed.) game on Roll20.
Then there's my PbP games here and on rpgcrossing.com
I'm currently on vacation. I'll update the gameplay thread later tonight.
Shoots! We will be waiting! Have a great vacation! Thank you for keeping us in mind on your vacation! I appreciate it for sure!
Sorry I never got to update the game guys! I ended up having a date night with my wife then the next day we went to the Warner Brothers Movieworld themepark.
Today I'm recovering from the 12hr drive home. (completed at 1:30am here) I'll try to get a post done today.

How dare you rate your wife and family over random strangers on the internet!?!?! If I had a table I'd totally flip it!!!! :D
Glad you had fun, we can wait a few hours.
Glad you had fun!
Almost snorted reading 'Phyna's post! No worries, mate! We are patient. ^_^
So the Logsheets are fairly easy to fill out and they're almost ready to go.
I just need to know who is taking a gift from Rakish and who is taking the Goggles of Night magic item.
Alternatively if you have a sheet on the go and want to simply add to it:
Adventure Name: DDEX1-04 Dues for the Dead
Session: 1
Date: 1/5/17
DM name and DCI: Kieran Edwards, 4203867101
Exp Earned= 504
Gold = +58.33
Downtime = +10
Renown= +1
Lizardfolk already have darkvision, so I'll pass on the goggles.
If anyone wants the googles, I am more than willing to let them have them, though Beryl could certainly use them. Thanks for running, Mr. Kip! If you intend to run another one, let me know! I can fill out my own, logsheet, so don't you worry abouts that! ^_^
Thank you everyone! You all made this a fun game!
I've had a lot of fun too! You've been great players!
I won't be running another one straight away. Running three games at once took its toll and I want to take a little time to focus on my other two longer term PbPs and get them back on track.
I will certainly PM everyone a heads up when I decide to run another one!
