V. Confused by the @JeremyECrawford ruling that says you roll 1 dmg dice for magic missile & then multiple by the # of darts you cast. The PH has each dart does 1d4 + 1. Aren't those two different rulings? pic.twitter.com/i2W8ceAuZx

This is literally making my group descend into chaos. If a ruling is causing your group strife, ignore it. Do what works for you.

That’s the bottom line of what matters at your table, and that is always Jeremy’s (and the rest of the team’s) stance. #WotCStaff

was hoping to get some more background on the region between Neverwinter and the Mere of Dead Men. Any useful dungeons, interesting monsters, lore and the like? Thanks! Heh. Great loremasters are at work on that area even as I tweet this. Stay tuned.
You are familiar with Eric L. Boyd's classic adventure involving the Mere and vicinity, yes?

And just off the top of my head, there's Cragmaw, Phandalin, Dread Ring, everything going on in the town of Leilon, some caverns ("dungeons") in the Sword Mountains including some former dragon lairs…lots to choose from. :}#Realmslore

1)
In the ‘home’ Realms campaign, there’s a band of adventurers led by three dwarves (sisters), known as The Ready Axe, who are gathering gear and provisions to hire themselves out as guides for the latest flood of “get rich… 2)
…quick” young thrill-seekers out of Waterdeep, so they can explore the various caverns of the Sword Mountains. None of which have been thoroughly scoured out, and many of which are being used by opportunistic monsters as…#Realmslore

…places to catch, kill, and eat this annual stream of wannabe adventurers (who give themselves fanciful names such as The Peerless Plunderers or Valanthar’s Ever-Victorious). Leilon is home to a wagonworks and an outfitters 4)
…whose owners are both Zhentarim members, and they’ve hired local youths as spies to watch over The Ready Axe and the wannabe adventurers, in case someone really does find something in the mountains—whereupon the Zhents will…#Realmslore

…hire someone else to step in and relieve them of whatever the ‘something’ is.
And in Conyberry, a lone prospector, Dorn Multruth, is trying to get others interested in joining him in an expedition into the hills south of… 6)
…Triboar Trail, about halfway between Conyberry and where the Trail meets The High Road nigh the coast—where he’s found rich veins of copper, “enough to make a dozen pickaxe-swingers rich for life, right there for the taking!”#Realmslore

Have there ever been instances of a living phylactery? And by that I mean… an egg that hatches unexpectedly, or a body that later became a mummy, or perhaps a tree/treant that wasn’t quite dead? Yes, BUT…life and unlife housed together destroy ("eat") each other. Usually lichdom is so powerful that it's the living phylactery that dies, VERY quickly (days or hours)…and is withered/ruined, partially or wholly. The lich is weakened until this demise occurs.#Realmslore

Oooh. Interesting.
Would be funny if a lick took a liking to its whoopsie-ward and became a doting guardian.
When evil intentions backfire! Lich even!
Bloody autocorrect.

Heh. Same affliction bites me.
BTW, this comes from a Gary Gygax ruling, after an early GenCon adventure (he wasn't the DM) of a lich fondling a small lap dog that turned out to be its phylactery. NO, saith Gary, it would have died as we watched; too small to cling to life long.

Awww…
Undead pooch then.

Rearing issues generally stem from said pup taking a funny bone and burying it in the local dungeon.

Can be blamed for the Lich lacking a “humerus” disposition when adventures ask him to throw them a bone. Arf arf arf arf! (expires laughing)
Just kidding. We've never had X-cards at the home Realms sessions, but we often have "Speak contrapuntally from now to end of session!" demands. Which are honoured, except in moments of weakness.
