I ran my first session last week, after a session zero previously.
Everyone seems to get it straight away and generated lots hope to power stuff
Good amount of narration from the players to fill in detail as they travelled
2 combats, 1 countdown and baby step progress to some of their major...
Haven't used one yet but I'm thinking of giving less HP but at the start of its turn if it above 0 hp, it regains all its hps!
Sulking cos the PCs spanked the 472 hp kraken last night in almost 2 rounds
So the level 15 PCs doing the Oerth chapter of Vecna , return to Saltmarsh where they started and encounter the Kraken of Tharizdun seeking the rod in the tomb. Coupled with a storyline of a dragon orb they found in the Tower of Zenopus led to a 2 hour epic and entertaining battle last night
We have had asl session zero using Sablewood as our frame. We added some meat to it's outlines and I will use the QS adventure as a base intro as it's new to all the players. I'm sure it will be tweaked as we play it out
The main pitfall is that it needs a lot of player input. If you are in a group where some players aren't overly interested that is the pitfall
All the pc combos do shine. The druid is a tad powerful , the one in our group is very very useful
There is a lot to it, especially if you have never...
