I started playing circa 1980... and yeah, DMs were generous and we, as players... um... abused henchmen :D I will be taking some fairly inexperienced players through this. I will probably adjust things based on their level as we play... especially traps. Getting a TPK is one thing. But...

Camp Righteous is right on one of the rivers leading out of Port Nyanzaru. Not sure if my group will take that route, but I bet many groups hit that very early. I will probably have their guide warn them about traps in areas like that.

Tell me about those side quests. I was reading about Camp Righteous, which the characters will likely find early one. That place is deadly for low level characters. I will have to figure out how to scare my group away. They tend to be pretty skittish of things, so shouldn't be too hard.

I still haven't made it that far into the adventure... but it has similar characteristics to Isle of Dread, which I have been wanting to run for my group. I am really liking this so far.

I am interested... how would this work? Would healing spells magic do less healing? Would healing from magic "wear off?"

I have only read a small part of the adventure, but bet you could figure out an adjustment that would still allow you to run this. Could be something as simple as souls are being captured (as they are in the current adventure as written), but, instead of preventing resurrection, it is...

I have the Volo Guide (in print), but do like that the creatures are reprinted. That would just be another book that I need to drag out (and purchase on D&D Beyond). I will eventually purchase Volo's Guide on D&D Beyond anyways, but don't want to do that now.

I haven't even finished chapter 1 yet (keep getting distracted with appendices), but, I am loving this so far.

I haven't looked at the player's map closely yet, but it does have some labels. The map is given to the players by someone and it contains all of the information that that person knows about the island. So, I am assuming that is why it has some labels already...

I broke down and purchased this on D&D Beyond. I have to say, so far, I really like the way that the adventure is set up on D&D Beyond. I am sure I'll be able to print any hand outs needed from there. I'll most likely purchase whatever Mike Schley makes available. According to his site, his...

Maybe they'll release a separate document with that information soon? I don't have the book yet, but based on the description, it doesn't look like it is included in the book... and I don't see any documents for download on the wotc site yet. I wouldn't get too discouraged yet.

I don't see a new race mentioned: Included in this pack: 2 Backgrounds 10 Magic Items 60 Monsters

You are making it very difficult to wait on Amazon in order to get this adventure...

I have not purchased an adventure yet. I also am surprised that they did not include a free, sample adventure so that people could get an idea of what they are like prior to purchasing.

I use FG at the table... but I have the book as well. I use FG to display images and maps to the players. I also use the combat tracker, though we roll physical dice and enter the results manually. I have also added D&D Beyond into the mix, because it is much quicker to look up spells and...

I am in the same boat. I pre-ordered from Amazon, but am tempted to pick it up today from a local store. I'll probably just wait, since my group is in the middle of an adventure already (Legacy of the Crystal Shard... great little adventure). BTW: CoS also included a mini-adventure to raise...

Fantasy Grounds works ok. I don't find it to be the most intuitive program and don't always find it easy to find the content that I need. It does work well for displaying maps to users. You can easily reveal only select parts of the map. I use it (at the table) for displaying images and maps...

404?

I actually like the percentile system for games like this. We only played Top Secret a few times, but if I remember correctly, it used a % system as well with a number of derived attributes (which I also really liked).

I plan to do exactly this.
