Wow, thanks.

I'll need to sort through the videos tomorrow and then I will post the links.

Great. Thanks.

[MENTION=3547]Matrix Sorcica[/MENTION], my apologies for the delay. I couldn't remember which board I posted on!

For the effect of the eruption, try the first 40 seconds or so of this video: [video=youtube;jIp9ctFW6nI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIp9ctFW6nI[/video]

For a general introduction to the city that you can show players, try this: [video=youtube;LWyRkx7BIY0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWyRkx7BIY0[/video]

No worries, thanks!

Looking forward to seeing you develop the starter set sandbox.

Thanks. I have a few posts I want to put up but my Third World internet has been particularly Third World for a number of days so Blogger is not working properly. Hopefully there will be a few posts this coming week (Agatha's Lair, Conyberry, Cragmaw Castle, Cragmaw Hideout).

Okay, we have regional videogamey catastrophy here with thundertree being hit by some rain of ash. As they don't seems to be too many other settlements in the area, I guess I could live with this. Thanks for the information!

Those videos are making me regret not playing the Neverwinter game.

Really great updates on your blog, Scrivener! I really like how you connect Wyvern Tor, Conyberry and Cragmaw in a sandboxy way

Thanks, mate!

I must admit, when I get around to running this, I'm going to ditch the goblins and run with orcs. It's going to tie in nicely with some ideas I also have for the Sword Mountains based on existing Realmslore and some published adventures.

Anyway, I hope those blog posts show other DMs that Realmslore is not about Drizzt or ELminster fans dictating how your game should be played but sources of inspiration to make various areas much interesting locations for adventure.

Yeah, I read that about the Ukuth Urukh or something lost Orc kingdom. I'm so totally gonna steal that!

Indeed.

Uruth Ukrypt. And their name lives on in the Kryptgarden Forest... and the dungeon of Southkrypt.

Another thing I like about making orcs more of a focus - besides the whole LotR vibe - is that it ties in nicely with the presence of the orcs in Neverwinter. And I think if you're going to run any sort of campaign in this region it makes an enormous amount of sense to get the Neverwinter Campaign Setting and include the city as a major part of the sandbox and a FRC1 Ruins of Adventure-inspired sandbox in its own right.
