I like it a good bit, but yeah, it's a tad basic. That's why I am adding substantially to it with multiple subplots that expand it to the Wymrstair, a bandit hideout, Mt. Hotenow and Thundertree, so there's an expansion of the dragon theme in the original. It was already an old dragon cult...
I have been converting the 3e Sunless Citadel to the Nimble RPG. I guess it's D&D adjacent? It started as a 5e mod but morphed into its own game. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a change of pace from 5e. The combat loop is completely different than 5e. I don't know if it is...
I suppose it changes session to session, but I only game on VTT now and I like to make it look as visually appealing as possible. I have probably put 2-3 hours of prep into a single 2 hour session sometimes. There have been some Saturdays where I will spend an entire afternoon prepping a...
Maybe the coaster is broken once they enter Greyhawkins, and the purpose of their dungeon delving through the 4 quests is to find parts/knowledge to fix the coaster to get back to the fairgrounds.
I got it for Roll20. Going to make some modifications first. I am running it with the ST kids in 1984, and and they go on the D&D ride at the new Hawkins Fairgrounds. There, they get sucked into the module/boxed set and meet Dungeon Master (yes, like the cartoon) and have to complete quests...
I don't know the "fix" for this, but assuming groups across the board would fight X amount of times, and you use that X as a balancing factor puts way, way too much emphasis on an assumption that can change group to group and session to session.
Adapting the Sunless Citadel 3e using the 5e maps but switching the game system to Nimble 2.0. Anyone played Nimble? I don't think it gets talked about much on this site. It started as a 5e add-on but morphed into its own game. In a nutshell, I would say combat is more strategic than 5e...
I picked this up on Roll20 for $20. I think it's worth that price. I love the Greyhawkins map. And the name. It comes with 5 pre-gens, but what I am PROBABLY going to do is swap out the token pictures for the actors in the show. So, for instance, we would have Dustin the Dwarf because Nog...
I have very fond memories of a book called The Magister. It had new items and spells that probably became redundant later on, but at the time, the book was pretty unique. I think it was all Realms specific stuff.
Spelljammer campaign. The wizard zapped a demi-lich with a lightning bolt, and the demi-lich immediately responded with hellfire that dropped the wizard to Dying (but he got better).
