In case it is of interest… a list of modules from numerous sources. Courtesy of Reddit and the adventure database ARCH WOOD "Secrets of the Arch Wood" (Dungeon #121) - level 13, 14 pages, 3e. CORMANTHOR FOREST (GENERALLY) "Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor" (module) - level 6, 99...

Sembian and Zhent Guilds Churches of Lathander, Oghma, Tyr, Tempus, Bane, Chauntea, Mystra Elminster, Colderan, Rhauntides… the odd Red Wizard Mercenary Bands and fledgeling dales You could definitely model this with Birthright. A number of clear adventures could ensure … recover the pendant of...

I do think the Forge of Fury adventure from 3e and Yawning Portal would make a brilliant stand in for the ruined dwarf kingdom of Tethyamar. A million times better than the attrocious map in Lords of Darkness. Are there any other adventures that would translate well?

Welcome to the Forums. As an alternate system I play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e. You’ll find I manage to crowbar references to it into any thread I can… including this one and I’ve posted quite a few threads about why I think it’s great. Though I didn’t stop playing D&D 5e. I run and play...

I probably shouldn’t post because I absolutely would run it. In my experience, grimdark works best when there is also wry humour beneath it. The cannibal halflings, thieving elves, and bald dwarves gives me just enough subversion to riff off.

I’m hoping there will be a detailed base map in the new books. I think I saw a preview somewhere. I can use for an online campaign.

It’s a great idea. There is relatively little DMGuild stuff for the Dalelands. Two or three new products. I’ll definitely check out yours once it’s released. I think someone wrote an interesting looking adventure for Archendale with some dragons which I’m going to check out too. [Edit] Oh wow...

This is an awesome sourcebook and adventure location that received its own boxed set. It’s really worth a look for anyone looking for an Adventuring location. I particularly like the details like the missionaries of Lathander trying to rekindle a revival of the city and sponsoring adventuring...

Definitely. Interestingly I think the conflicts I mentioned above are largely untapped. Other than the repeated Zhent invasions of Daggerdale. Most of the products and ideas - Myth Drannor, the drow takeover of the Elven Court, Tethyamar, The Dales Council, Sembian Influence in Archenfale...

With 5.5e Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set to release in just a few months, I was thrilled to learn that the Dalelands will be one of the five featured regions. It feels like coming full circle—one of the first D&D products I ever bought was the AD&D Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, and...

I think you’ve over complicated it though. The player was asked to describe how a successful Toll the Dead spell killed an NPC. And because they didn’t say it in the way the DM wanted he reduced their loot for it. I don’t think it’s anymore complicated than that

Oooooo. The idea 💡 of getting XP for fighting against your motivation is pretty darn good too! I’m pinching that to add in.

It feels unfair because you weren’t expecting it. Somewhat arbitrary. At the end of my WFRP sessions I award a player an extra 50XP if they have acted in a way that fits their motivation. A one word description of what drives them… glory, anger, power, greed, kindness, learning etc. I’m not at...

Very interesting reading this thread and it’s made me aware of something I’ve only started doing since DMing for new people. I would never ask a player to describe something that I have added to the world. I would always expect that to be my job. However I do regularly ask players ‘what would...
