With FR there is soooo much stuff that I can just remove what I don't like and end up with something pretty good.

Sessions 54 and 55 of my Neverwinter campaign. 10th level drow evoker wizard, human genie warlock, half orc vengeance paladin. After 25 sessions in Neverwinter, the characters have moved on to Mir Vardun, a town created by the paladin's player to be his birth place. I'm placing it as Helm's...

This seems like a weird book. I approve.

Huzzah! Nebulous, what was your overall feeling about this campaign?

I love urban campaigns. I am just about to wrap up a 60-session campaign of a remixed version of Dragon Heist. For this, 5E worked swimmingly. Earlier this year, I ran a 60-session campaign of the Banewarrens, a 3E adventure set in Ptolus. Great adventure, great campaign. However, I ran it...

Agree 100% and made a similar point in my own post about 10 pages back. This book could and should have woven together all the threads into something greater.

Big. Not the dungeons. The rooms. Almost every published adventure has rooms that are way, way too small. Like, too small to hold 4-6 PCs and an equal number of monsters in a fight on a grid. Think bigger, people!

Guess I'll chime in with my opinion before this thread gets locked. I respect Justin Alexander's writing and criticism so I'm disappointed to learn he acted like a jerkwad and got himself banned here. I used his Dragon Heist Remix for a campaign that's about to wrap up after nearly 60 sessions...

To a degree. It's a bit like The Walking Dead. At some point, you build a fortified compound and your life gets easier...but there's something special about those earlier episodes where you're counting every shotgun shell.

Niiiiice. Despite its flaws, I would like to run Descent Into Avernus, and a semi-sequel that expands it into a full 1-20 campaign is very cool.

20+ sessions of T2K as a player. It's excellent. However, I would caution GMs to be stingy with equipment. After about 10 sessions we had looted so much ammo and weaponry off our foes that the resource mini-game became moot.

Free League's edition of Twilight: 2000. We've cleared a Polish prison of malcontents in some bloody fighting. But now we have our own home base! Some villagers we rescued previously from marauders moved in at our invitation. We spent about 10 days repairing vehicles, weapons, and fortifying the...

What a time to be alive.

Twilight: 2000. In recent sessions I had the greatest glory I've ever experienced as a player. We were battling a rogue unit of American soldiers. They were split into two units and laying siege to a town. Each unit had a mobile artillery piece. In total, we were outnumbered about 4 to 1. We...

56th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 11th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. The characters are in the Xanathar's lair. The Xanathar is held captive and about to be...

55th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. Three player characters of 11th level: Half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. This is the climax! The Xanathar has been co-opted by one of his mindflayer lieutenants and is...

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't intending to mislead. And I agree that it seems clear the intent was to make Daggerford a starting region, which would have dovetailed really nicely with the Next adventures. I still imagine an alternate reality where the "Lost Mine of Phandelver" was the...

I've kind of always felt that Rime of the Frostmaiden should have had more cosmic horror. I mean, The Thing was an obvious inspiration. I would have had Ythryn be a mind flayer ship from outer space and made them responsible for the endless night. Maybe I'll mashup Shattered Obelisk and...

Also: I'm in agreement with what everyone else here has said. Lots of good material from published campaigns could be repurposed into a compelling sandbox.

All I know is this little nugget from Schley's description: This piece was commissioned as part of the 5th edition release of the D&D Dungeon Masters Guide.
