Dragonbane general thread [+]

In fairness, I didn't run it. I just read it and thought it didn't sound like something I wanted to run. I had the knight from town do it while the characters were elsewhere. They ran into the deposed harpies which was fun.

I guess this is more about my style than the adventure but in my second campaign, Troll Spire was fondly remembered more for the NPC than the puzzle trap. I did have an ace up my sleeve for her funny voice.

As for the English, Alpha version of the Book of Magic, I like what I see so far. The variety of magic and introduction of familiars is what DB needed.

Harmonism, though, seems to make the Musician ability a bit more like an optional class. Either you can spend less WP but now you essentially need to wear no metal armor/weapons and have concentration (the spell Inspiration) , or you can spend more and not be so impacted (Musician).

And while Harmonism is a CHA based skill, it is a separate skill, so no double dipping on other Bard skills to cast the magic.

Though my players say that Musician is a bit boring - though they declined to have a mandatory Performance roll. So maybe not boring enough.

Does anyone know if the battle map is safe for dry erase or wet erase markers?

As it was not obviously laminated, I was too scared to try. The map that comes with the stand alone Dragonbane standee packs, though, is obviously laminated and does both wet and dry.

Regardless, the box is stuffed with stuff and a great value.

Yeah, taking a closer look, it seems like I'll need to go get it laminated. Planning to run it this weekend for some friends' kids in person, so I ordered the physical box (already had the pdfs).
