There are quite a few larger scale maps on the Internet that show a more regional view.

That will work. The three hooks from Phandalin are; Gudrin sends you there with a wagon of goods from the mine, The Sister Graele from the shrine takes a position in Red Larch and requests an escort, or Haila the Zhent asks you to investigate. Also easy to have Sildar request investigation from...

I just uploaded my guide to integrating LMoP with PotA. It includes some general ideas to help the flow of the adventure for newer DMs. It's a living document, I plan on fleshing it out further. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?434896-Integrating-LMoP-with-PotA

I have just uploaded Integrating LMoP with PotA to the downloads area. A guide for integrating Lost Mines of Phandelver ( from the 5e D&D Basic Set ) with the new Princes of the Apocalypse. LMoP ends with the party at 5th level. PotA starts at 3rd level, and is fairly close to the town of...

Love all of the concept art in the back. It's really good. I *very* strongly suspect that a Forgotten Realms setting book will be one of the next products we see. And I disagree about this being a Greyhawk conflict. But, I did set RttoEE in the Realms, so I might be biased.

There is, as you would expect, a lot of water in the water node. It's not completely underwater, though.

It's a little bit different from that. Each "lower temple" has an area where the prophet for that element is generally found. The first of those areas you enter, you face that prophet. As soon as one dies, the rest of the prophets are called away. The sub level devoted to the Elder Elemental Eye...

It entirely depends on the path the party takes to the end. ( Or the path their DM directs them along. ) And I wouldn't want to be in the party fighting Imix, because, reasons. ( Fire, bad. Lava, worse. )

I have a three page pdf I've written up full of ideas for linking LMoP to PotA. ( plus, ideas to help the flow of the adventure.) I'll probably post it Friday, but it might be up to four or five pages by then. I just can't help myself.

I'm not sure if the MM is needed, as I didn't want to page back and forth through the adventure, looking to see if every monster listed is in the Basic packet. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they are, though.

I've continued updating the review. I started with 4.5 stars ( though the EnWorld rating system will only let me put 5) but upon reflection raised it to 4.75. You see, reviews are subjective, and the things I was dropping a half star for are the things that I enjoy doing anyway. ( Fiddling with...

Olhydra, Princess of Evil Water. Yes.

Mostly cultists in chapter 7. Plus, Princes of Elemental Evil, and myrmidions. ( Slightly different elementals in plate armor. )

When I wrote that, I was out at the pub having beers, and away from the book. ( Which is why I posed "IIRC" ) Air/Water are 18, Fire is 19, and Earth is 20. They have some pretty decent Lair actions, and are accompanied by their respective prophets. ( And a few of the prophet's bodyguards. )...

King County does have three high profile death penalty murder cases that began in October/November. ( http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/holding-three-simultaneous-death-penalty-trials-in-king-county-is-unprecedentedandmdashand-hugely-expensive/Content?oid=20991684 ) It's a huge deal, and if the...

From the adventure:

My intention is to write up a bunch of ideas I have for enhancing the adventure and integrating a post-Phandelver party into it. Post-release.

I could easily have beefed it up a bit, but honestly my players aren't really optimizers. They're mostly more about the Story and playing with friends. We're down to five players now, and the air guys will be back when orders from higher in the cult come back. ( You what! You sent adventurers...

It's not too big of an issue, but might take some tweaking. Bounded accuracy means an encounter a level or two below isn't going to automatically be a complete pushover. In my campaign, the PCs ended Phandelver at level 4. Partly because I had 6 players at one point, partly because they...

I have been adding to my review.
