Notwithstanding the excellent content in these recent videos, I am also impressed with the completely badass chair he possesses. Imposing but not in an iron throne way, no doubt practical in offering comfort during long sessions, and provides advantage on contemplative thought checks.

14-year old BMaC and all his friends had 1st edition psionic characters if I remember correctly (and a smattering of vorpal swords). Middle-aged BMaC not so much.

Love Kobold. Hate that you are unwilling to do European distribution. Edit: given the great success of your KS I suppose you can afford not to worry about Europeans who cannot pay double the price because of shipping. Fingers crossed it shows up on European amazon.

I hope Greyhawk and Dragonlance are available to all creators on DMs Guild. Some of the 3rd party publishers would do great work especially.

Legendary save does not negate a crit or loads of smite damage. This does. However, this does not negate a failed Hold Person like a legendary save would.

The Death's Head of Bhaal has the following reaction: Unstoppable (3/Day): the death's head reduces the damage it takes from an attack to 0. Has this ever been in a stat block before? It is nasty--almost resulted in TPK last night. Depending on the circumstance, more powerful than legendary...

Yeah, there are rumors but I just wanted to be sure that Mortlock is the first person to say where Elturel actually went.

Can anyone confirm that the first factual statement that Elturel is in Avernus is from Mortlock Vanthampur at the end of the Dungeon of the Dead Three (p25-26)? Or did I miss earlier information about this?

Love the gazeteer. My players want to know if it is too SPOILER for them. I told them I think so. They are good at Chacter knowledge vs. player knowledge but some of the info I think is proper spoilers. For those who have read it, agree? Maybe not big ones but I thought I spotted a couple...

Plenty of professions require moral choices that compel you to violate someone's rights. E.g., violating parents' rights to protect the health of a child. Even without using hell cars the adventure encourages DMs to test PC virtues and expose their RP flaws. I suppose if you are in a group...

Adding to comments about difficulty of adventure:

Oh yes, certainly. I will be running this emphasizing the moral choices because I like issues raised by Just War Theory and moral theories. HOWEVER, a bad DM could certainly use this adventure as an excuse for all sorts of dubious things . So yeah, there needs to be a high level of trust and...

The adventure takes place in hell. The authors of the book explicitly encourage DMs to challenge players' virtues. So this is probably not an adventure for every group.

Certainly not, but as I said, having a basic grasp of ethical theories would be useful for running this adventure and giving your players a more complex experience. Edit: you don't have to read philsophy btw. Some of it is just common sense. For example:

People do lots of bad things to prevent worse things from happening. This happens all the time. I linked to some basic ethical texts above. The binary thinkers in this thread should have a peruse. Edit: seriously, for DMs having a grasp of the three main ethical theories would be quite useful...

I don't have the time to recap Introduction to Philosophy but using a soul coin (particularly of an evil person) to power an Infernal Engine would be an ethical act for a LG character under certain circumstances, in particular the kind that arise in this adventure. Of the big three ethical...

Lawful Stupid paladins won't last long. For everyone else the adventure offers some great ethical quandaries.

I am getting the book today but my fix for soil coins will be to have different denominations based on a person's deeds and alignment in life. The lowest denomination coins are evil murderers and the like, the higher ones good-aligned altruists who died saving people, for example. The party...
