Dragonbane general thread [+]

Is that adventure available anywhere (legitimately)?

Both Troll's Spire and Riddermound are in the boxed set as part of the Secret of the Dragon Emperor sandbox campaign.

It should honestly be a required purchase for Dragonbane fans. It's an absolute steal in terms of value.

You get an opening battle scenario, like different ten adventuring sites, and a finale adventure for that sandbox campaign.

Cool, I have that but didn’t realise it was in there

What I really like about the campaign in the box is that you can more or less decide how long of a campaign that you want.

You need three MacGuffins. So you could have a campaign where the PCs will find a MacGuffin at every location, which only requires three adventure sites. Or you could determine where the MacGuffins are in advance, and it could require that the PCs visit all 8-10 (can't remember how many) sites in order to find all the MacGuffins.

Assuming the players go to all the locations in the boxed set campaign, about how many 3-4 hour sessions would that be to play?

That is a trickier question as the Journey rules add playtime before you even get to a location. You often create an additional mini-encounters from the Journeys before you even get to the actual adventure.

I ran two weekly campaigns, one was 2 hour sessions which lasted a year and a 4 hours session which ran for over six months.

It also depends on how much time you play in town.

Agreed!

I am itching to run Dragonbane. I bought it for Roll20 because that's my go-to system and I really like it. The rules seemed pretty well laid out and the sheets were pretty. But then I started seeing how Foundry implemented the rules, and frankly, the integration was FAR better than how Roll20 did it. So, I bought Foundry DB also, so now I have both. I still haven't run anything, I need to clear some other games out of the way first, but I have at least a one-shot prepped in the Sinking Tower, and the start of the Dragon King adventure thing.

Also, if you have the core rulebook, you can throw the Castle of the Robber Knight adventure into the Misty Vale and have it be one of the MacGuffin locations for the Dragon Emperor sandbox game.
