This is another entry in the ongoing Dungeons & Dragons campaign I am running at home with August and a few of his friends. It is important to remember that I have continued to make gameplay and dungeon adjustments for the age and experience of the group since this is the first time playing for…
As I looked at the next chapter for the Lost Mine Of Phandelver from the Starter Set, I noticed it mentioned players should be at level 4 by this point in the adventure. The problem is, most of the players are smack in the middle of level 3. What to do? A recent announcement from Wizards…
