No need to apologize. You asked for feedback and I provided. As @Whizbang Dustyboots already stated, this is a common error/practice. I don't know if this will help out, but I had a university professor once who gave me very valuable advice for writing. When you are writing something and...

If you want feedback, you need to edit down your post. That is way too much a wall of text for people to wade through. From what I did skim at the start, you have way too much detail that is of no use in play. Most players only care about what they find in the present adventure. The family...

Phantom Fungus from 3E. A bit of a one-trick pony, but one of my most memorable sessions in gaming involved a party taking on a trio of these. The native invisibility for a CR3 creature (if I remember correctly), had a group of 6 PCs struggling before a hard fought victory. Cheers :)

My he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.

I think you may want to scale back the beaches. 6 mile wide beaches, if your scale is still consistent, is not realistic in most cases. Assume there are beaches right along the ocean, but a different terrain type would dominate those hexes. Cheers :)

Sure, looks good. Likely not 100% "correct" in the real world, but close enough. For a plateau, maybe consider K4, K5, L4, M4, M5 as possible locations. Or, you could put it up where you originally had it in your first draft if you add a bit more higher land around it. Some more hills and...

It may not sound like from my answers, but I generally agree. I know full well that my maps are not perfect or "right" compared to the real world; and yes the real world has such fun locations as New Orleans that actually should be part of the ocean based upon the subsidence of the land it was...

I am with @pukunui here, neither of these is really inspiring for me. If forced to choose (and I likely will since I generally like the adventure compilations WotC has produced), then the standard cover is more to my liking, even if it is not a great favourite. Cheers :)

Maybe? Sorry, but when it comes to maps I am a visual guy, so I need to see it to be sure. When I make maps usually there are multiple versions before I settle on something as I experiment with what works (and looks good). Your description sounds generally OK, but if we look at the real world...

I would recommend stopping where you are at right now before you go further. I am not a master mapper, but I have learned a few things over the years. For this type of map you want to go in the following order for features: High terrain (mountains, hills, plateaus, etc.) Rivers and Lakes (as...

Interesting. I agree that Kruthik are not very common opponents. I have never used them as I just see them as too on the nose in terms of the Alien/Aliens vibe. If I wanted to have an insect theme, I have always had giant insects of various sorts (although giant ants seem to be missing for...

Oh, and in many of my older games (like back in the dark ages), Lizardfolk (or Lizardmen and Lizard Kings as they were then) were a go to for me that was different from your average gnoll, goblin, hobgoblin or orc. Cheers :)

I am sure they do. I should have added on my list that skeletons and zombies are go to hordes for low levels in my games. And, with new options in 5E they can scale up a bit as well. Not sure if they are considered low enough (and rare enough) CR for this thread, but I also like ghouls...

Darkmantles and Stirges are a couple of favourites of mine. Kobolds certainly do come up as well (although I have been making them a PC race in recent campaigns). I will ditto on Twig Blights, can be thrown in any woodland setting for a surprise. In 3E I liked using Phantom Fungus...

I think you are reading too far into this topic. Let's see what actually rolls out from WotC in terms of settings before claiming that there is a different approach to settings now than before. The information presented suggests there may be a change, but the proof will be in the pudding. I...

Thanks for pointing that out. I have looked at that art several times and until you mentioned it the second cultist just blended into the form of the aboleth and I was just seeing it as shading on the illustration. Now that I have seen it, I cannot unsee it. Cheers :)

My take on that was Order 66 was a broadcast in the literal sense. It was sent over all possible channels and manners of transmission to ensure that all clones received the message and as many Jedi as possible were wiped out. Similarly, the propaganda video of Palpatine/Sideous from the Senate...

I will second this, but add the living room couch legs are neutral evil or chaotic evil at all times. My little toes can attest that day or night those legs are out to get me. Cheers :)

Yes, Jod almost comes across as a tragic figure. Almost. He is still a very flawed man, and dangerous, and not very nice (murderous even), but slightly more humanized for the final scenes here. Also as part of the stream of consciousness initial reaction, it seems that Rennod was all a great...

It will be interesting to see where this goes. Cheers :)
