In the course of doing so, they discovered that the Zhentarim are going to be attacking the town using a goblin horde in the next month or so. My inspiration for this is going to be - drum roll, please - Red Hand of Doom although I won't be using Tiamat because she doesn't really have a central place in my Realms (plus I want to use her in Eberron at some point with some of these same players).<br /><br />Anyway, as I need to work this out in my own head for my own game, I will add a post by tomorrow covering how to fit Red Hand of Doom into a Phandalin-based campaign. After all, I now have a vested interest! :)<br />Scrivener of Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863577322310179686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417307288214203410.post-54843387877725506902015-01-11T22:05:29.604+08:002015-01-11T22:05:29.604+08:00Sorry for another out-of-context question (no othe...Sorry for another out-of-context question (no other place to post this):<br />What is your opinion of the 3e adventure: Red Hand of Doom?<br /><br />That adventure is going to be the basis of my next "5e Starter Set" adventure, for several reasons:<br />- the opening 2-3 encounters are almost identical to those in the starter set.<br />- easily adapt the Tiamat theme of Red Hand to the 5e Tyranny of Dragons theme (as well as tie in Thayian interests).<br /><br />I would love any expert (yes, you are the most knowledgeable person - who is approachable - I know on the subject) advice you could provide.Banesfingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938723674120202818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417307288214203410.post-85367469693873060172015-01-05T00:01:03.461+08:002015-01-05T00:01:03.461+08:00I have never played/read any of them, but Lost Cro...I have never played/read any of them, but Lost Crown is available on dndclassics, so I wanted an opinion before I purchased....Banesfingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938723674120202818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417307288214203410.post-72806160699275231612015-01-04T11:13:56.015+08:002015-01-04T11:13:56.015+08:00Wrong spot?

Nahhh, I am not that pedantic. :)<br /><br />I have never run those adventures but have stolen bits of out Lost Crown - the flushed-into-the-sewers scene is excellent - and expect to use bits of That Which Never Sleeps in my next Neverwinter campaign. Of the three, I think Storm is the weakest but that's also because I am not a fan of Ashmadai who play a significant role in the adventure.<br /><br />In short, there are good ideas in each but I would personally never run any of them as written in my own game... but that's true about adventures I consider really good as well! :)<br /><br />What are your thoughts?Scrivener of Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863577322310179686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417307288214203410.post-34961903743248597982015-01-03T22:49:31.708+08:002015-01-03T22:49:31.708+08:00This is obviously the wrong spot to post this, but...This is obviously the wrong spot to post this, but I couldn't find a more appropriate place to ask this question:<br />What are your opinions of the D&D "Encounters" adventures:<br />- Lost Crown of Neverwinter (and the "Dungeon #195 sequel: "that which never sleeps")?<br />- Storm over Neverwinter?Banesfingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938723674120202818noreply@blogger.com
