I've done two side stories with my players which have generally been well received. The first was back in adventure 7 and the some people wanted to go back into the ruined Cauldron hill facility suspecting there was still some problems there. I used some hags, undead and some which oil golems...

My group is nearing adventure 11 and I've been putting a lot of thought into how to do the Gyre bit. I'm not sure that doing it as written is going to be great for my table - the back and forth transitioning may leave one of my players confused and make focusing difficult. One way I've been...

I'm trying to figure this one out and I don't see it thoroughly explained in adventure 10 that is coherent with the rest of the narrative. Adventure 10 informs us that Jiesse was once part of the elemental plane of fire, but the Ancients found a way to essentially cut it off from the plane of...

I put a small rumor in my game about a former dragon tyrant ruling the slaver colony in Elfaivar.

So, I just had to share this. The Logos in my party has used this ability to... tremendous success throughout the campaign. During adventure 6, during the train building he used the ability to help his side win; conveniently, it turned out, they always found a random shack just out of view...

Are you planning on having the king die in the first adventure? The first adventure really does a great job spearheading the main plot and has connections further down. Im in the camp thinking you may want to let your players create their characters. And absolutely don't use the Bonds of Forced...

Not entirely. I think that they are beginning to realize that a lot of players want versatility. Many players play their 'Sorcadins' and whatnot because they like having the blend; it's a very popular trope and is thematically cool. Warlocks and Hexblades are played by a lot of people because of...

I have not ran this in 5th edition. But I have a good grasp on the system. If I recall, this starts the PC's at 3rd level, and theyve had one combat before this, possibly a second one. You can absolutely add magma mephits to the encounter. For a first session, this will seem like a "boss"...

Oh, I have arguments for the candidate, and had I not then I would haven't implemented the restrictions, either. The restrictions are meant to go two-ways: to make some players who haven't played as well not feel like they didn't do their best, and keeps certain narrative threads and character...

I'm running it in 5th edition, and have been hand converting it all. Nicodemus was a monster. Theres some slight power gaming in some case, but buffed up he had 500hp and 27 AC. The players were freaking out but pulled through with some brilliant play and manueveriing

My party just finished adventure 8. That final encounter was a tremendous amount of fun. I decided to make it more engaging for my players - take a look!
