Greg, can you fix this while you're at it? :)

Well... nuts. That's exactly the same as my flowchart for MY next game, except I'm counting on it taking 5-6 hours (we only play monthly). Guess I better bring some spare bad guys to fight, just in case... :)

So our party entered the basement last game, having thoroughly explored the house previously (except for one thing, noted below). They went through the crypts, the dining room, and straight down the stairs to the sub-basement. The night ended with an overly-long fight with Lorghath, because...

Is it actually a real "Volo's Guide" though? Do we know if Ed Greenwood is really the author, or this by some other writer/publisher using the character? The title "Dungeonology" doesn't seem consistent with the rest of the Volo's Guide series, and there's no mention of Ed in the announcement...

Thanks Greg for the quick response. That helps to at least put the modules in context. Is there any guidance for how to transition from DH to 04-02, or is that left up to the DM's "+1 Magic Wand of Plot Devices"?

Yeah, it's finally April AL Releases Day! Our home group had planned on running the AL series for our monthly game, and as the DM I just went to buy the new modules, but I'm little confused by the descriptions in the "blurbs" for each. I know it's been said that they form a linear plot, but...

Right. Or, the part where it says:

Interesting - In the three reports I've read here so far, in the altar room Merric got a TPK, RC's group killed the CR5 baddie at level 2, and Byakugan actually got a PC suicide. Guess it goes to show the encounter really CAN go any way! Our group will be finishing the adventure in a couple...

RC, I'm going to have to create a couple of alt accounts just to give you bonus XP for that - what awesome ideas! Do you mind if I use them? Particularly: - Splitting the ghouls up: this makes perfect sense, and adds to the "you never know what's waiting in the dark" feeling. Having them...

Interesting that hear how that played out for you - I have some of the same concerns reading through the basement level, and our group starts next game entering the attic. A couple questions: - Did you use all four ghouls? We have four PCs, and four ghouls seems like a lot. - Same with the...

You can find a synopsis of at least the first half of the season here.

Just have the PC's roll into town after dusk or nightfall. Everyone else in town is blocked up in their house, and refuses to answer any knocks or calls from help, assuming it's a vampire trick. No inn, no shops, no nothing except locked doors and silence. The kids aren't there at first, and...

I know, right? I'd caught some of that early on and started wondering, but it was the "bub" at the bar that sealed the deal. Nice work, Holly!

Read it before you plan to do that. After my first read through, I was a little bummed - it seemed like a much more natural transition from FR to Ravenloft that the Death House "Oh, it gets foggy one night, now you're in Barovia" schtick, and I was sad we'd missed it. On second reading though...

I think the adventure portrays the Gur as the other local cultures see them. But it's just a point of view - whereas the townfolk think the Gur are thieves, the Gur simply have a different POV when it comes to concepts of personal property. It's just in your perspective. Also, while the...

Here's another question I'm having trouble with: The story says the children starved to death "after their parents locked them in the attic and forgot about them". I just got finished putting my two little boys to bed, and lets be honest - there is not possible way on earth you "forget" about...

Question for ya'll - In prepping for the dungeon, it seems weird to me that the Dursts are just hiding in a hole behind the walls in their bedroom, sitting there waiting for adventurers who just happen to come along. I'm toying with the idea of making them intelligent undead for the players to...

The book also clarifies a couple things re: the Mists: - Characters who walk off into it will return you to where they started - if you walk away from the house into the Mists, you will eventually find yourself walking right back up to the front door again. - Any character who starts their turn...

Is there any hint of what these items might be, even a stat-less hint, for those of us who are playing the adventure with our home group in a non-AL setting, and love to see what other fun ideas can be incorporated into the game? I'd be totally up for granting my players some cool additional...

Very interesting how groups differ! We started DH this Saturday with our homeplay group. It took us roughly 5 hours to get through the intro (one encounter with wolves at night, which precipitated the transition from an oak forest to an evergreen mountain valley), into town, and clear the...
