My party finished Curse of Strahd last night and, after a vote for the next campaign, Tyranny of Dragons won (12 points, with 10 for OotA and 8 for SKT, which I apparently didn't sell well). I suspect that, since they've played through PotA and CoS, they were keen to actually face a dragon or two - and I did play up the Epic Storyline nature of the campaign. Anyway, today I sat and typed up a handout for the campaign, since I wanted the players to be able to interact with the geography and politics of the campaign. I thought that I'd share it here, since why not? <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/qlyy8pgmbkvzg50/Faerun%20Handout.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">Link</a>I drew the information primarily from SCAG, the wikia, and a couple bits from SKT. I focused on the Factions, since I really like them but think that they work best when the players have a solid understanding of them, as well as the places that they'll visit in Hoard; I'm not sure if I've gotten a useful overview for Tyranny, and I worry also that the map and the places list are too obvious (e.g. listing the Mere of Dead Men). There are a couple red herrings, at least in part since they are close enough to the coast that it'd look weird not to mention them. I wanted to have a list of People, especially those that turn up in the Council of Waterdeep, but that seemed like it would be information overload at that stage!Anyway, hope that this helps. My plan is to print it out in colour, and give each player a copy during character creation; that way they'll have something in their PC folder that'll help guide them through the adventure.</blockquote>
