Was that my fault for not putting the Team Infiltrate designation on the post? I sometimes wonder if its necessary for every little post, but if it IS, I will accept that I should be consistent.

I agree. However, I also don't think that the adventure is bad. It's missing some useful things, yes. There are things that many of us enjoy (like a plot!) that it lacks, yes. However, it does what it does generally very well - it has a good set-up, it has a bunch of clever bits, it's...

I also agree that the vagueness of much of the "story"* will be hard on new DMs. I'm what one might call a very experienced DM, and I was a little shocked by the raw number of questions that my (in some cases totally new) players asked that I had to make up the answer on-the-fly, because there...

Oh here we go!

Thanks for the response! As the longtime owner of an FLGS, where I have run demo games since D&D was AD&D 2nd Edition, I understand too well the juggling act that is doing what you love while wanting to be generous, but also put food on the table, and not get taken advantage of. It can be...

Looking forward to hearing how it goes! I had to have two sets at one point today to run it (live) for SEVEN players! That's more like $17.50 CAD, but yeah, not terrible.

Thinking of you, and though I have an impression, I can't say that I "know" you at all, really, so correct me if I'm wrong: I think that, were you to buy this box set, you'd have use for: 1) The three Adventure books (these are flimsy pamphlets, but they pack a lot in there). 2) The NPC Cards...

Makes sense. As a follow-up: All this had me sign up for the "free" part of a number of patreons. I'm not agianst paying for them, but I'm curious as to how much I'd actually take the time to read or watch their content. I've noticed that many of them (IDK if I'm specifically speaking of yours...

Phandelver Starter was $20 USD or between 25 and 30 CAD depending on when we're talking about during the ~decade it was around. (Mostly $27). But this thing has a significantly increased cost of components. It probably wouldn't matter to YOU, Micah, because it's unlikely that you'd care much...

They are the exact same MSRP. My store sells both for $65.99 CAD.

Stryke nodded to Terrin and said, "He may come to his senses, if he has any sense, and inform the others where we have gone." He put his hand on Copper's shoulder and said, "Join me in executing a thalak'vel - what you would call an ambush? If I can borrow a bow or at least a javelin or two?"

That will only work if you use the same basic tactic that he's using, but in reverse. Seeing as he is currently out-of-sight, you'll have to find a place to hide, wait for him to start following you again, and then shoot him and run for the next pace of cover. I'm not sure that there's any way...

I'll call a couple of folks who have entertained me competed in the past - @Kobold Stew & @Snarf Zagyg - do you fellahs have time for Iron DM?

No, the Adventures are meant to be more like "general outlines" than they are fully-statted finished products - and they have always been for a variety of genres, not just D&D, and certainly not just WotC. Heck, some of us have made up the game that the adventure is meant for. @Snarf Zagyg even...

Yes, yes it is! Snarf (Shamal) has one, and you are looking for a total of four. They are made from the obsidian-like rock of Blackpeak, and are, IIRC, about a foot tall.

Gimme an INT Arcana check.

Team Lake Aywin was struggling to shove off the kayak, wedged in a tight spot in the fast-flowing tunnel. He was somewhat distracted with Svetlana, who was still exploring various parts of the Lake. Thankfully, Shade-9 made the difference, and their kayak came free, finishing its journey down...

Yup, that does the trick. I'm always surprised by how easy it is (for others, not for myself) to get my morale back in check. I've been trying to teach my wife for 20+ years that all she needs to do when I'm low is to say "You got this!" She isn't very good at it (my kids are, though...

Team Infiltrate (on the run) Stryke led the group up a steep slope and through a wide cave-mouth, as the fanatical cultist sent another bolt of fire that exploded on a nearby wall, thankfully missing everyone. The cultist fell behind as they climbed into an open chamber. The dim light of the...
