It is even worse than I initially thought. Sub Level 5 is actually the "first floor" of the old fortress. There's no way into the tower there or any other way "up" to the second level (called Sub Level 4). Clearly a door or passage to the western tower has been omitted. It looks to me like room...

There were a ton of great adventures put out in the 3E era but many of them weren't Wizards of the Coast adventures. Forge of Fury stands out as possibly the best of the WoTC adventures. But the stuff from Necromancer Games was some of the best adventures ever published. Rapan Athuk, Tomb of...

Has anyone tried to play through the Accursed Tower? It is a 1999 Forgotten Realms adventure by R.A. Salvatore & the Seven Swords. I bought a pdf from DMSGuild. The thing I'm struggling with is the maps, which don't seem to work. I can't see doors connecting the tower the players enter through...

This is really great. Thanks for putting this together.

After beginning our campaign in January, we finally completed Chapter 2 of Storm King's Thunder. You can read some of the background and early stuff here. Here are our main list of players. Arche Braverest: Half-elf Rogue. Walker: Elven Rogue. Sabrina: Elven Fighter. Landon: Elven Cleric...

We ended up not using my ad hoc battle system anyway. I wanted it to be ready in case the players just wanted to have their characters in the thick of the battle. But they opted for a commando raid on a crucial hill the giants were using to signal their troops. I set it up as a kind of battle...

Tomorrow my players are going to experience a big battle. This is actually a version of the Goldenfields battle from Storm King's Thunder. But in my campaign it takes place in the dwarven city of Hundlestone. There are about 440 dwarven scouts, 60 guards, the PCs plus the NPCs from STK...

I had now idea they had done Battle of Emridy Meadows. I'll have to look for that.

Thanks Morrus! I'll check it out! A bit more info: This is actually a very transformed version of the Goldenfields section of Storm King's Thunder. In my campaign, the players are guarding a caravan traveling from Luskan to Bryn Shander. (I'm using the Accursed Tower by Salvatore for this part...

I'm looking for recommendations for published adventures that would be appropriate to set against a large battle. In my campaign, a dwarven city is about to be attacked by hundreds of goblins, scores of bugbears, and a bunch of hill giants. The dwarves have 550 soldiers and are pretty evenly...

In my version of Storm King's Thunder, I've moved the Goldenfields encounter to Hundlestone. This got me thinking about the economics and ecology of a Dwarven city. Instead of being a breadbasket to the world, the city is a source of metals work to the world. The Hill Giants have learned that...

The Proof is in the Pudding It took us two sessions in Nightstone before we got to the Dripping Caverns. In the first one, they mostly dealt with the goblins. In the second session, they battled a group of barbarians (which I substituted for the Ear Seeker orcs). I've moved Nightstone up to the...

SPOILER ALERT: SKT Plot Points dicussed. - - - - - - So what is the Tower of Zephyros episode in Storm King's Thunder for? Is it really just to give the players a fast way to move around Faerun or is there some point I'm missing. I find it really weird that the players are expected to jump...

We got through 1 through 3. But didn't make it to Nightstone. I'll post an update soon as long as people are still reading this.

So here's my plan for tomorrow. 1. Spooky foreshadowing of attack by Black Raven Uthgardt. 2. Encounter with Fegolos. 3. Encounter with Black Raven Uthgardt. 11 Tribal Warriors, Mounted on Giant Ravens, accompanied by Uthgardt Shaman. The party, which consists of 2 rogues, 1 cleric, 2 fighters...

Here are my notes for the game we will play Sunday. I don't actually read all this stuff. But writing it out ahead of time helps me get in the right mindset. Black Birds in Morning, Travelers Take Warning Should I Stay or Should I Go? The time for celebrating your victory over the goblins...

Super meta-question. Would you prefer me to write out my plans for the adventure in a post before we play and later write out how things unfolded? Or do you want to only read the post-game summary?

Thanks! Great suggestions. I have a bunch of additional stuff planned for the caravan that I think will be cool adventures in their own right but will also lay some foundations for the grand sandbox of Icewind Dale that I am planning. It seems pretty railroad-y now because it literally is...

I made a trailer for our players, summarizing our first adventure. It's my first time attempting this so it is not perfect. Let me know what you think? If you were a player, would you like this? Anyone have experience doing this? https://youtu.be/y4W_EUDM7Vk

In the campaign I am DMing, the characters are passing through an unsettled area dominated by roving barbarians. I'm looking for suggestions, including suggestions of published work, for running a barbarian raid on the caravan. The party is traveling up the Northern Means from Luskan to Icewind...
