I have used DDAL 09-10 Tipping the scales as a one shot inserted for two reasons. 1) Olianthus is giving this as a mission to the Party to prove their worth before he will join them in their cause and reveal the location of the citadel. This demonstrates their power/capability as well as their...

I created a new encounter for DIA - the battle for the Companion. The module mentions that the companion can be unlocked and the Planetar freed using the keys within the wrecked flying fortress. There is no map or scenario for how the PCs can fly up to the black sun and unlock it, or what the...

what level and where in teh campaign are you?

Rage Against the Machine Lulu's ethical descent continues. Denial/Anger/Bargaining/Depression/Acceptance You can just jump to right before this occurred and listen into the gameplay music interlude: go to 1:07 in the below audio. <iframe title="14 - Stygian Docks - Duo the hero - Ch3 Avernus"...

my group will likely be returning to Eltural without the sword and prior to visiting the bleeding citadel. They will have the keys to the campanion and presumably the adventure will go along the lines of flying and trying to get to the companion and unlock is while flying devils are trying to...

Some of player PCs are so addicted to demon ichor we are getting too many repeats, I started to just go down the list and grab the next one but its getting to the point of the Players having a higher chance of getting the mod they are fishing for so I am extending the list - compiled from my own...

My group left a demon grinder and returned to find it covered in madcaps scavenging for parts. The mapcaps poured ichor on their swords and engaged. Now the party tortle has: emaciated to 1/3 weight elongated legs covered in weeping scabs a head three sizes too big. Now the party kenku has...

the cuteness pretty quickly wears off so no issues with her absence if the shield is around.

Hi, We ran through another Tier 2 adventurers league one shot game (ruined prospects) with 4 APL level 8 PCs. If you want to listen in for ideas of what it may play out like check out the link below: <iframe title="12b - Avernus Sidequests - DDAL09-09 Ruined Prospects" height="122"...

true - I imagine a group of boomers - the DM could fill the jukebox with Rap.

OK just ran my group through the Bone brambles and a Visit to Mahadi's Emporium. in terms of the bone brambles lessons and tips. its very short if they pass a single check and find thier way to red ruth's straight away so I assumed the forest was larger and ensured they had a 'rich' bone...

I have recorded a just over 20 minutes of a recap of my Season 1 tips and lessons as well as an example of how you might jump straight into the deep end at lvel 4: <iframe title="13 - Chapter 1 tips" height="122" width="100%" style="border: none;" scrolling="no" data-name="pb-iframe-player"...

I guess you dont need to make her cute and if she gets killed off early the shield can start to take on her role. Be aware of whether it is you or your players who dont like cutsey. Rather than change her into something else I am slowly hardening her up by having her go hrough the seven stages...

A few more notes, lessons and inconsistencies/challenges with Haruman's Hill and thereabouts. - I continued my expansion of the Fae Tom-follery in Fort Knucklebone creating madcap culture as some sort of violent smurf village - (they love bootscooting adn both kinds of music.... country and...

Fort Knucklebone notes, I've just run through fort knucklebone and thought to post some notes on the experience: this provides necessary comic and safety relief on an otherwise fairly bleak story line so I extended this a little I created a village much like a wild west style town populated by...

Advise request: how are people managing the abundance/availability of imp familiars. This is more generally a DND problem but more exacerbated in DIA. We have a warlock with an imp that whenever they go anywhere it starts with I send my familiar invisibly to fly through half a mile of dungeon...

My group have had an interesting experience with NPC followers. The party encountered the morose Vrock in Elturel and with a nat 20 persuasion roll the party Kenku convinced him to join them and move on with his life. I dont know where this will go but interesting to have both a Vrock and a...

Question regarding ugency and motivations? How are people grappling with time urgency in DIA? Throughout the crossing of Elturel there there are references to meteors, blasts of lighting, earthquakes, burning lava, and the city slowly being dragged into the styx. in the citadel there are...

I wanted to just straight to Tier 2 for the kick off for two reasons. We are playing adventurers league and there are loads of tier one games available locally but not much T2 and above. This provided an opportunity for players to bring their level 4 PCs and get down into T2-4. I also used a...

For those looking for examples of play I am podcasting our group starting from level 5. 2 - Journey to Candlekeep - Ch 1 Tale of Two Cities I have extended somewhat the journey to candlekeep to play on the Cambion and his best ability (charm).
