I am really excited by the news.

I'm all in favor of the Elder Elemntal Eye remaining a vague uknown mystery to players or to most of NPCs in the adventure. It shouldn't be so to the DM.

It's a confusing, frustrating time to be a Realms fan. If this was going to be their method of handling settings, why did they do the Sundering? It doesn't make any sense to me at all. I don't understand their model for presenting settings as they haven't laid it out for us. I understand...

The open-endedness is a real strength of the adventure. That being said, there are several things I think I'm going to have to troubleshoot: 1. The vague threat and non-involvement of the Elder Elemental Eye. 2. Lack of interesting friendly and faction NPCS through most of the module. 3...

it's ok just bubble

oops my reponses didn't have quotes back to original poster. First one was Pukunui. Second was for Monster Envy's post.

oh I definately see it taking parties several trips and trying things differeent ways. I didn't mean to give the impression that I thought a party was going to tackl it in one go. The module mentions guards resetting and replacing losses so I figure the designers had seen (or anticipated)...

I had looked at Mt. Hotenow for the Fire Temple myself, especially since one of my players is is from Neverwinter! Probably going to do that. Using the Mere of Dead Men or Lizard Marsh for water; That;s an idea. I may try to go farther away though.... I am considering repurposing the...

Another issue: the adventure ends up taking place in a pretty localized area and doesn't venture too far afield. Since so many of the later portions are one dungeon after another...I think there may be a serious risk of player and DM loosing interest in repetitive encounters. The final inner...

I started a new campaign with this on Monday. We started at 1st and I'm running the Tomb of Moving Stones section with the Sinkhole variant. A little bit of town stuff after character gen and then we were off! One word of advice I would have for other DMs running this, try to set up the...

I totally forgot the linking of storyline comments-I was going to mention concerns about that too. It seems strange so far becuase I don't see any connection between Tyranny of Dragons and Elemental Evil.

I thought Chris Perkins response to the campaign settings question was interesting as I'm not sure what he really meant by that. I'm not sure what comments like presenting campaign setting materials in ways that "challenge expectations" means...

What if aspects of the Sundering leads into the Elemental Evil storyline? What if the areas of former overlap between Abeir-Toril are weak in planar terms and then perfect weak points for elemental incursions? Make sense or sound cool?

Thanks for the links Paraxis. The Sword Coast map from Hoard of the Dragon Queen is good for figuring our where the adventure area is in relation the Sword Coast in general. I also found a useful map on page 174 of the 3E FR camapign setting. Back when I played a bunch, I knew alot of this...

Something else, it seems like a zoomed out map is missing orienting the local Dessarin Vlalley area map to more regional ones say like in the Starter Box or the Tyranny of Dragons adventures. Another trouble shooting thing I thought of. It seems like the encounter with the "Dark Lady" at...

I'm reading through my copy now and it seems to me that while the bad guys get descriptive write-ups, most of the friendly NPCs are pretty much just given names/race/class. Did I miss soemthing? Where is the detail on the important faction leaders and the like in this storyline? It looks the...

You guys raise a good point. I had no idea the use of the two skills in the modules has been so all over the place.

Have any of you guys worked up any 5E Steampunk stuff? I've been looking into World of Aden as my 5E campaign setting but converting from the Pathfinder mechanics is starting to become a headache. Especially in regards to classes.... I'm looking primarily for 5E rules for a "technomancer"...
