Seems like a taster set but at quite a high price. I'd pay good money for a comprehensive Greyhawk setting & lorebook. One that includes absolutely everything from the past 50 years. All the stuff from Dragon, Dungeon, the modules, everything.

Does anyone else remember the Househunters from Dungeon magazine? House-sized mimics.

How about offering a non-combat feat - or one not related to their class - at levels 2 and 6 and see how you get on?

So, is the adventure a pile of rubbish or not?

Dig out your old copies of Dungeon magazine. 'Racing the Snake' comes immediately to mind, as well as an adventure where the objective is to rescue a woman from the cult of Tharizdun. However, you could reverse the problem: simply advance the campaign date by a year and up the PCs' levels to...

Is not the Warlock your friend here?

Nehael? In the Greyhawk setting I was working on, the empire to the west of the Sea of Dust was going to be primarily populated by dragonborn.

Wasn't there an article in Dragon along these lines? Sometimes you want one; sometimes the other.

See this thread: D&D 5E - How would you balance this modification to spellcasters? and particularly this post https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-would-you-balance-this-modification-to-spellcasters.641458/post-7432652 Unfortunately I never got to try it.

I've arrived fashionably late so skipped the preceding 24 pages but here's what I would do: change the wizard to work off a short rest. Halve the number of spell slots they get (minimum 1) and have them recover one spell slot of each level up to their Proficiency Bonus -1 on a Short Rest (i.e...

It was more the face. As @Paul Farquhar pointed out, pointed ears have been a thing for yonks.

Back when I was DM I took the line that 'the gods love a good show'. Engage them, entertain them, and they'll be more receptive.

I've not been keeping track of this. Not the Rod of 7 Parts again! Can't we have the PCs trying to assemble the Codex of Infinite Planes or the Teeth of Dahlver-Nah or something?

I didn't realise that Strahd was elven

If none of those apply then I'm still looking to escape, not attack.

This is the BBEG! Of course they have at least the first two if not all three. BTW I forgot that the BBEG will Action Surge for a second full Action of movement. (Action Surge by itself is a superb escape power for Fighters.) And let's not forget that the BBEG's big attack has a save. Anyone...

Sure. In my version of the Greyhawk setting I envision the big empire to the west of the Sea of Dust as being dragonborn.

I'm 6 pages late but if I can be dropped the next round then I'm going to try to escape. Unless I'm a sacrificial clone or simulacrum of the BBEG, of course. :) I'll use my Lair Action first, then hopefully this will trigger use of a Legendary Action, then I use my Action and Bonus Action.

Thank you, Mr Ward, for making the world a more fun place.

KISS: remember that you only roll when the result is in doubt; most often a mortal just doesn't get to roll against an immortal. Hence all those quests for the McGuffin: only when you have the McGuffin do you get to roll.
