    True Detective, Season Three: D&D Plot

    The latest season of True Detective has featured a few shots of Dungeons and Dragons but now it appears the game is becoming central to the mystery.

    How to Fish for Knucklehead Trout

    Seriously, though, this makes me want to design Knucklehead Jaws adventure.

    How to Fish for Knucklehead Trout

    I imagine there could be both: line fishing and net fishing. Maybe competing techniques from different fishing companies or towns. Sailboats on the lakes could probably move quite quickly--the place is called IceWIND Dale--which would enable trawling with longlines. Net fishing in medieval...

    How to Fish for Knucklehead Trout

    Thanks. I think it would make the most sense if the fishing is done with nets. Individual fishing lines with individual hooks is mostly a sports angler thing, it seems to me. Not something you would do at an industrial level that the Ten Towners fish at to support their economy. If my players...

    How to Fish for Knucklehead Trout

    Do any of the Forgotten Realms books detail the techniques used to fish for Knucklehead Trout in Icewind Dale? Is it predominately hook and line fishing? Or trawling with nets? The characters in a game I DM are headed up to Icewind Dale and I'm curious what equipment they'd find in use for...

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    Fair point and something I'll keep in mind. Thanks! Boromir-effect.

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    Thanks. And you are correct. I thought of activating the frosty-ness as requiring a bonus action. But there's no real time limit on how long it stays frosty, so I suppose a character could light it up the moment they enter a dungeon. And, yes, this means a second level character will now have a...

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    The players asked about the wand and the sword. After inspecting both, this is what they've found. The wand is intricately carved with the image of a blue dragon curling around it. It is inscribed in ancient runes that you think spells out the word IYMRITH but you are not sure what this means...

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    Here's background for the cleric character, an elf named Landon. Luskan. Why did you ever come to Luskan? A few years ago you were an up-and-coming cleric in Waterdeep, the City of Splendors and the Crown of the North. You were close to the high priest of Corellon, Del Silvermoon one of...

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    Before our games, I like to email the players with private background information they may have picked up that other players do not necessarily know. I used to do this in person during gaming sessions but these days everyone's time is short. Taking time away from everyone playing to walk through...

    The Icewind Dale Chronicles (STK, LMoP, LoCS, Accursed Tower)

    This will be a sort of campaign diary. My players do not read the forums so I'm not really worried about giving too much away. It's going to be a sandboxy blend of The Lost Mines of Phandelver, Legacy of the Crystal Shard, The Accursed Tower (2E IWD module), and Storm Kings Thunder. Probably...
