I suppose everyone knows about the Alexandrian Remix of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. If you don't, you can get the complete collection through his patreon or read it for free (cheapskate) in a couple dozen blog posts starting here. I liked the idea so much that I decided to take it a step further...

I was hoping that maybe there would be a Ravenloft or even Call of Cthulu adventure that would fit.

Castle Amber! Hmmm. I ran that 30 years ago. I'll definitely look into it.

I'm looking for suggestions for published adventures with horror or mystery themes set in a mansion, castle, villa, etc. Basically, I think my group may wind up at the party thrown by the—SPOILER ALERT, WATERDEEP DRAGON HEIST—Cassalanters where 100 guests will be sacrificed to Asmodeus. If...

Thanks! Great ideas.

It's a fair point. I'm actually a bit relieved by these responses because I was afraid I had missed some larger significance. I really enjoy diversions and digressions—the group I'm DMing is doing Dragon Heist as a sidequest in SKT—so this is great. I love the idea of tying Weevil into the...

What is the point of the Weevil in Storm King's Thunder? Players can be told to hunt him down by two different groups in Bryn Shander or Darz Helga in Triboar. There's a wanted poster in Long Saddle. Presumably, they'd learn of him in Mirabar as well, since that city has posted a 5,000 gold...

The "God Trap" in Greyhawk Castle—the prison where Zagig locked up nine demigods—was a kind of Panopticon. According to the tales, Robilar, with Riggby and his orc henchman Quij, freed Iuz. A very similar story is told in Temple of Elemental Evil, although in that version Robliar accidentally...

Some additional information from the artist.

I recall seeing a huge list of guilds that might visit Trollskull Manor looking for work and payouts. But I don't remember where. Might have even been in these forums but I can't track it down. Anyone recall?

Thanks. That's a really good point.

Just read up on it. Sounds perfect for what I'm doing. In fact, I'm kind of already on the same track since I started with the PCs kidnapping Floon and Raener. I was a bit worried about the encounter buffing in today's game. Four first level player characters against 4 Kenku is a pretty tough...

Some background, just because I think it might be interesting. We've been running Storm King's Thunder with lots of homebrew and add-ons. My group began in Luskan as caravan guards on the way to Icewind Dale. I relocated Nightstone to the river you cross on the way north. Skipped the Tower of...

I'm DMing a group of 6th and 7th level characters through Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or pointers to resources for this? Has anyone else tried to convert this into a mid-tier adventure?

When is the print edition coming out? Just the thought of printing the pdf is making my printer angry at me. But I'm cooped up in the Land of Social Isolation and really would love to read this.

In our last session, they discovered the beginnings of a plot by Kraken cultists to do something dastardly in Luskan. (Based on a modified Kraken's Gamble.) They decided to not follow the leads and head down to Waterdeep to sell all the Scrimshaw they had hauled down from Bryn Shander. So I'm...

This will be my first time DMing in Waterdeep. Let me know if you have any suggested reading or other ideas to help me get the flavor of the city right.

I've been running my very home-brewery version of Storm King's Thunder for the past year. Much of the year we spent playing out a road trip from Luskan to Bryn Shander. (Here's a thread I started discussing some of those adventures.) The party wound up with a huge amount of goods from Icewind...

It makes me sad that Mercer feels he has to apologize so much to stave off attacks. He's done wonders for the game that I've been playing for forty years. Congrats Matt! And thanks to you and your players for all you have done. I wish you all the success in the world.

One advantage of setting things on the Sword Coast is that there already is a book about the region. So DMs new to the Sword Coast have a reference book they can turn to. And the High Forest is a pretty wild and unexplored place.
