Dragonlance Anyone know of a 3rd party adventure follow on to SODQ?

[ECMO3]

My gaming group is loving SODQ, but we will likely finish in another 3-4 weeks ..... after which we are probably done with Krynn if we can't find anything else.

Something that would take us to level 15 or so would be ideal.

 

[LordEntrails]

I haven't looked into it, but I've seen the DMsGuild has some new stuff for DL.

I saw that but only saw some 1E adventures reworked for 5E and none that would be appropriate for after SODQ.

 

[LordEntrails]

I did find 2 there that appear to be new and maybe linked to SODQ.

Not being critical, but hasn't it been out less than a month? Is it really that short?
That doesn't seem like much bang for the buck. I thought I ran campaigns quickly, and it usually takes me 6 months to get through a campaign adventure.

Actually, sorting for 5E, DragonLance, Adventures seems to give a bunch (though a lot don't actually appear to be adventures):

It goes to level 10-11. That would take my group 2 years to get through, but other groups can do that in 3 months or less

 

[dave2008]

To the OP, it doesn't seem like any are specifically made to follow SotDQ yet. however, I imagine that will change in the future

I've run three sessions for it, and they've only just gotten to 3rd level. OP and their group must be speed-running it.

We have had three 4-hour sessions or 12 hours of playing and are level 6 and over halfway done. For comparison we finished Call of the Netherdeep in five 4-hour sessions so it is going to take us longer than that one did.

It is a fast playing group. It is a 3-person party to start with which helps. We also have a no planning during play rule, unless it is happening in game. If you are discussing what you are going to do in the next room or how you should attack the BBEG that is happening real time. You can say things like warnings or suggestions to other characters, in character, but you can't develop a detailed collective plan on how to take down a castle unless you are doing that in game before you get to the castle and in combat you only have 6 seconds to decide what you are doing and start your move. We also play "touch move", so if you move forward and the Wizard says, wait I am going to fireball there, well you can use movement to get back if you still have it. We don't enforce this for mistakes or misunderstandings (you walked over a river and did not realize it was a river).

I find that what really slows down combat is when players talk amongst themselves, often for minutes on what they are going to do, before they start acting, especially when they create elaborate battle plans in the first round of combat during the first PCs turn.

Edit - The 12 hour time noted does not include character creation, level up time is minimal and there was no session 0 because we have played together extensively. We are an experienced group using point buy so you show up with your character complete and ready to throw dice. You also are expected to have the next level up prepared (know what spells, subclasses, feats you will pick etc), so level ups are usually quick too. The first session included 2 level ups though, we all had level 2 ready to go but not level 3, so level 3 took 15 minutes or so.

6th level is not what I would call the halfway point.

Still your group seems to run through content super fast. Did you do everything in Vogler in one session?

 

[Tales and Chronicles]

and here I am, with my players who forget which game we are playing in between games....

More seriously, if you dont mind converting a little there's the later modules of the Scales of War adventure path for 4e or maybe a buffed up Red Hand of Doom for 3e ?

I guess you could use pretty easily the second part of Tyranny of Dragons as a follow-up to SotDQ.

Almost but not quite.

Trying to be vague and not spoil things - at the very end of the 1st session a rolling dragon with some draconians rolled up on us. That was the cliffhanger at the end of the 1st session and that started the 2nd session. So if you know when that happens you know how far we got.

At the end of the 3rd session we landed in a wasteland (don't remember what it was called) with the Army in tow, fought a battle on a ship and met "D".

 

[LordEntrails]

It really doesn't matter how fast a group plays thorugh an adventure. Nothing wrong with it regardless of how fast or slow you go.

What's relevant is that he is looking for More DL content to add to their campaign. Let's try to keep our "help" to that purpose.

Adventure wise for 5e, no. Your best bet imo is to get the original DL modules (personally I'd go with the 3.5e versions) and pick off from where you are, which means basically in the middle of the second book. Chapter 8 (talking about the 3.5 adventures here) seems like a good point to start off on (and you can move the start to wherever your chars are with no problem, the book already does so even though its locations are somewhat off from where you chars will be).

Obviously that requires some more work than a 5e adventure, so up to you. On the DMsGuild you can find some conversions that were released recently to help with that... actually it looks like the books 2 and 3 are not yet out, but they should follow relatively soon, for now your best bet is

[Steel_Wind]

I would homebrew participation in the War of the Lance on the plains of Solamnia, edging in to DL8 and perhaps DL9 territory. I think DL8 alone would suffice really -- and then move to the natural climax of the SotDQ campaign - which is the main adventure in DL16 - World of Krynn in Ch. 4 Dargaard Keep by Michael Gray.

The heroes of SotDQ must enter and explore Dargaard Keep and destroy Lord Soth in his ancestral home. No more bait and switch -- the Big Guy and his Legion must be defeated & destroyed.

just to be nitpicky, because I am not sure how familiar everyone is with DL1 to DL16…

the DL saga goes from DL1 to DL14 (with two of them not being part of it but supplemental info, the saga is 12 modules). DL15 and DL16 are collections of several short adventures. They are not the conclusion of the War of the Lance, which the numbering might suggest.

The one adventure in DL16 is about exploring Soth’s castle. If you are ok with him having a Tarrasque in his basement, run that, but to me DL15 and 16 have nothing to do with the War of the Lance and kinda jumped the shark.

So DL8 (probably 9 actually) - DL14 (defeating the dragon queen) is more the conclusion I would go for, as I suggested above. YMMV

I love the classic Dragonlance volumes, but I don't think that is what we are looking for.

The main problem is most of the players are thoroughly familiar with them and some of us have both played them and then DMed them for multiple different groups.

Another problem is the plot gets difficult if you are not using the pregen characters.

I would leave 9-14 for the Classic campaign. I have no interest in grafting that on to SotDQ in any significant manner. That's for the Classic campaign.

Yes, I would run Dargaard Keep as the SotDQ conclusion. I find removing encounters from a module that are a paragraph or less to be EASY. None of this 1st ed stuff translates to 5e without re-working it. That applies to every module or adventure ever published -- DL16 included.

 

[Steel_Wind]

It really doesn't. There are no issues of any consequence there. At all.

This sounds a lot like "I don't like it" rather than "this is a problem". You get to like what you like, but problems suggest an objective element that is more than opinion and taste.
