I really didn't like any of the hooks provided, so I didn't use them. It worked out fine.

Ah - my apologies then to Rune

If others have the same screen colour as me then it is an easy mistake to make and you have put a pretty good disguise on your name. The name "Rune" blends into the background colour making it hard to see. The most prominent words are "Silver Defender". Maybe you should consider changing the...

Also, I found this thread has helped me immensely as the campaign has gone on: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?444419-Princes-of-the-Apocalypse-campaign-recaps Seeing how other people do it is always useful.

Don't panic! Think about what you would like to happen and make it up. You don't even have to prepare, making it up on the spot is fine - although I like to have a couple of bullet points written down as reminders. Also - the players may end up doing something totally unexpected. Just roll with...

It really can be any order, and you may encounter the leaders earlier than you think (or later). It really is sandboxable (ooo have I made a new word) enough that depending on your DM you may end up going in a totally different direction than anyone (including the DM) expects.

Here is the latest installment, mostly in the earth temple, partly in the fire temple. https://deathgrind.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/earth-and-fire And yes, I railroaded. I'm not proud.

Good news for DMs like me that use Roll20 a lot: https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20 This will make prep a whole lot easier. The new character sheet is so much more simple to read and to use than the old one too. What's more, it enables me to use any monster as a template, as...

I agree. Definitely use the pre-gens. Character creation ain't that fun until you understand the basic concepts of the game.

Last nights my players continued on their off topic exploration of local deserted mines. Mine Two - The Mines of Madness. They got slammed by a bunch of traps but found lots of magical treasure. Eventually decided that they weren't going to find what they were looking for without getting...

I really enjoyed that. I loved the cut-scene, and it's great that your players are really thinking about how to succeed without just barging in and fighting.

As a consumer only, I will be reviewing the one product I bought. But as it is an adventure I'm waiting till I finish it first. My players are about halfway through. I'd hope more consumers will review once they have had a chance to actually use what they got - it hasn't been open long.

Some very good ideas in there. Thank you, I'll use some of them for my players when they return to the temple (if they go back that way). At the moment my game has gone completely off track with the group deciding that the 'Swords of Liberty' must be holed up in an abandoned mine near the town...

I had four 5th level characters. Quite a bit lower than yours. They were lucky to survive. They were lucky to not have a TPK.

Yep. A very similar experience to my group. A complete rout.

Urgh: Str 12, Dex 10, Con 11, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 14 I think that would make a quite useable Half-Elf Bard from the College of Valor. That would change the scores to: Str 13, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 16 It also means that with the Jack of All Trades ability and extra...

Here's the next installment in my game. My game is currently in winter, so I've used a snowstorm to force the party to stay in one place so that I can sew some seeds and give the adventure a bit more depth. I also decided that they needed a bit of advice about how to tackle to various areas. I...

Yep, we had a character that rolled 18 strength, so of course it had to be a fighter. So the score became 18/65. Ah, the mythical 18/00 that apparently so many had. Not us. Anyhow, he also had a dex of 6 which meant we had a powerful but super-clumsy dwarf fighter. He was a bull in a china...

This was our standard way of doing it back in 1st edition. It led to some very memorable characters.

Nice write up. The entrance to the black earth temple is blimmin hard. My players had to make a frantic retreat as well.
