[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6463948, member: 6702445"] (A companion to the [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?394128-Enhancing-quot-Hoard-of-the-Dragon-Queen-quot"]similar thread for [I]Hoard of the Dragon Queen.)[/I][/URL] My players just gave me [I]Hoard of the Dragon Queen[/I] and [I]Rise of Tiamat[/I] for an early Christmas present, on the understanding that I'll run the adventures for them. I've seen comments around the net saying these modules can use a bit of work to make them run better at the table, so I'd really like to hear what other people have done to spice them up or smooth them out. I'd also appreciate links to any other threads discussing the matter that you know of. Thanks in advance for your help! :) NOTE: This is now a wiki thread. Please post favorite ideas below (or summaries, with links to the posts that explain them in detail). Thanks!
