I'm not quite sure what your question is, but your ideas sound awesome. Not totally fleshed out, but that is good as you obviously want the players to work out their own goals. Seeding lots of options early on is great, but it does mean that it is hard to prepare. I would have a couple of set...

I give you my cautionary tale: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?466835-Very-little-kids-take-D-amp-D-VERY-seriously But seriously - I'm playing with a 7, 5 and 3 year old and they love it. The 7 year old chose to be a wizard and we did some simple character generation and he chose...

So, Aimn Lu is now an NPC, but may come back to the adventure later. His player is rolling up a new character. Aimn Lu was a favourite character of this player, and he didn't want to lose him, but he felt he needed to take the character in the direction he would naturally go. So yes - in that...

Secret Session 34 - In which any of my players stop reading now (if any of you are reading this). This is an e-mail back and forth between the player who's character is Aimn Lu, after Aimn Lu was captured in the Earth Temple. *As told to Aimn Lu....* You are scooped up and carried by some...

Session 33 In which the party flee from the earth temple, to the water temple, back to the earth temple and then back to the water temple. In which everyone nearly dies and they lose one member of the group. The heroes progress down a long corridor, but strangely they find themselves unsure...

I really didn't like any of the hooks provided, so I didn't use them. It worked out fine.

Ah - my apologies then to Rune

If others have the same screen colour as me then it is an easy mistake to make and you have put a pretty good disguise on your name. The name "Rune" blends into the background colour making it hard to see. The most prominent words are "Silver Defender". Maybe you should consider changing the...

Also, I found this thread has helped me immensely as the campaign has gone on: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?444419-Princes-of-the-Apocalypse-campaign-recaps Seeing how other people do it is always useful.

Don't panic! Think about what you would like to happen and make it up. You don't even have to prepare, making it up on the spot is fine - although I like to have a couple of bullet points written down as reminders. Also - the players may end up doing something totally unexpected. Just roll with...

It really can be any order, and you may encounter the leaders earlier than you think (or later). It really is sandboxable (ooo have I made a new word) enough that depending on your DM you may end up going in a totally different direction than anyone (including the DM) expects.

Here is the latest installment, mostly in the earth temple, partly in the fire temple. https://deathgrind.obsidianportal.com/adventure-log/earth-and-fire And yes, I railroaded. I'm not proud.

Good news for DMs like me that use Roll20 a lot: https://wiki.roll20.net/5th_Edition_OGL_by_Roll20 This will make prep a whole lot easier. The new character sheet is so much more simple to read and to use than the old one too. What's more, it enables me to use any monster as a template, as...

I agree. Definitely use the pre-gens. Character creation ain't that fun until you understand the basic concepts of the game.

Last nights my players continued on their off topic exploration of local deserted mines. Mine Two - The Mines of Madness. They got slammed by a bunch of traps but found lots of magical treasure. Eventually decided that they weren't going to find what they were looking for without getting...

I really enjoyed that. I loved the cut-scene, and it's great that your players are really thinking about how to succeed without just barging in and fighting.

As a consumer only, I will be reviewing the one product I bought. But as it is an adventure I'm waiting till I finish it first. My players are about halfway through. I'd hope more consumers will review once they have had a chance to actually use what they got - it hasn't been open long.

Some very good ideas in there. Thank you, I'll use some of them for my players when they return to the temple (if they go back that way). At the moment my game has gone completely off track with the group deciding that the 'Swords of Liberty' must be holed up in an abandoned mine near the town...

I had four 5th level characters. Quite a bit lower than yours. They were lucky to survive. They were lucky to not have a TPK.

Yep. A very similar experience to my group. A complete rout.
