Hey all, I haven't posted in this thread in several months because I was doing the Lost Mine of Phandelver lead into Storm King's Thunder that was discussed earlier in the thread and was focused on that. I did use some of the tie in ideas discussed earlier in this thread between the lost mine...

Wow, sounds pretty intense! Nice work. Sent from my iPhone using EN World

I really mean affordably priced, I am not trying to suggest the prices are unreasonable as I understand that a ton of work goes into them; just saying that the newer stuff is too rich for my blood. Sent from my iPhone using EN World

I have three DF sets: Room & Passage Set, Cavern Set, & Cavernous Passages Set. I purchased them probably 10 years ago or longer, before I had kids, so it was a bit easier to justify, and I feel like they've gotten more expensive since. I thought they were somewhere in the $120-$200 range when...

Mystrachlorians?

Why FR Is "Hated" He had a really ridiculous appearance in "Beneath the Twisted Tower", an otherwise decent introductory adventure that came with the 2e campaign set. If I remember correctly, he was walking a dog in the caves below the tower and telling it to "heel", and each time...

Why FR Is "Hated" If you haven't been convinced in 27 pages worth of posts, there is no chance that someone is going to be able to sell the setting to you when you so clearly have such strong feelings about it already. Why do you want us too? If the thread is stressing you out...

Yes. Storm King's Thunder is assumed to take place after those other APs (especially Tyranny of Dragons), and includes some references to all 3, thorough not to the extent that you can't easily tweak them away if you're choosing to set it before the others instead.

Why FR Is "Hated" Sure it's not a requirement, and likewise it's never been an issue in any of my Realms games either, I was just agreeing that there does seem to be a bit of overload of super-powerful NPCs relative to other campaign worlds, and I can see how that could potentially...

...while at the same time complaining that the library doesn't stock enough books.

That's fair criticism.

1. It is a setting set up to facilitate a wide variety of the types of adventures D&D is built on. 2. It is supported.

Yep, it's the Thanegioth Archipelago that includes the Isle of Dread, and beyond is The Jungle Coast on the northern shores of the continent of Davania. The latter strikes me as the best Chult analogue. Sent from my iPhone using EN World

It's been forever since I looked hard at Mystara, but I want to say that the Isle of Dread was part of a larger archipelago, and that there was another continent a bit beyond to the south that might fit the bill.

That's been largely corrected in 5e. Most of the old batch of powerful wizards are either dead, MIA, or largely off camera in the SCAG, and the newer NPCs are generally not statted up so their levels are up to the DM.
