Yes, the unpacking is never ending. Lol! We did manage a short session yesterday, which was just as awkward as you'd expect after not touching it for two months. Still, we managed to get through most of the mundane travel and will get back to action next session. I'll probably post it in about...

I'm a DM whose learning as I'm going, so there is a lot of prep work for me. Fortunately, I like prep work. Also, my players are my kids, so if I tell them we need to take a month off, because the next part is going to take a fair amount of work, they don't complain too much.

I like that idea. Thanks.

This helps a lot. Thanks!

We are not doing Dragon Heist. I'm just stealing their faction quests. :) Our actual campaign is Tyranny of Dragons and I'm planning on taking it all the way to chasing Tiamat down in Hell, so the characters will end up being maxxed out.

I play 5e, but have no problem stealing ideas from other editions. I have Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (just for city/faction info), but want a larger variety of faction quests -- both that can be easily adapted to other places and that can work on higher player levels. I looked at DM Guild, but...

The roper we encountered was easily bribed. Even still, it creeped my players out by immediately snatching any dead combatants for a quick meal.

It's been a long time since we've been able to play, but our move is (hopefully) just about over. I am hoping that we'll be able to have a session next weekend, but we are at a point where I have to do some prep work, so it could very easily be another week after that.

None, but after the third partial run through of Lost Mines (decided not to find the mine itself), we decided we were ready to delve into something bigger and started HotDQ.

Yes there is. It is in the Downtime Activities. Admittedly, it is pretty vague, but it is still there.

I mostly agree, but then my PCs wouldn't be worried about the law in the first place.

That's why we split the training progression into 5 sections. You gradually gain proficiency; it doesn't happen all at once. And if you are using it in the field, that counts toward training time as well, although not as much as a full day of training.

In my game, we earn 10 days of downtime after every adventure, but it doesn't need to be spent at that time. New characters do not gain the same downtime as everybody else has, but anybody who wants/needs more downtime has to roll to see if it gets granted or if they have an unexpected encounter...

I agree with you, however, if the PC was focused on a very narrow aspect of the law -- say inheritance issues, it would make more sense. Then, if they also wanted to be proficient in real estate laws, they would have to focus on that aspect.

Yep!

You can learn new skills during your downtime. I wish there was a little more official guidance on it, but my table just has crafting become cheaper and faster as you get more proficient, languages get more reliably translated/spoken, and weapon skills are learned for each individual weapon (not...

Take out the slight. I would have a full-blown mustache if I didn't shave daily.

I went ahead and bought it. Enough of Part 2 takes place in Waterdeep that any information on the city itself will be very helpful.

I am also a teacher and the group I run is primarily teenagers. Forgotten Realms is not dead.
