[QUOTE="weedenbc, post: 8101329, member: 7026360"] Hey everyone. New to this forum, and just start running a mega campaign with a party of 6 on Roll20 that runs from LMOP -> HODQ -> ROT (and perhaps beyond). My party just hit the Hunting Lodge so I'm trying to flesh out how I'm going to run ROT as much as possible. Already gotten a lot of great tips from people on this thread and elsewhere, but I have a few specific things I'd like to add that I could use some tips/helps with. I've decided to revamp/beef up ROT to have more about recruiting different types of allies and also tying in quests to my character's backstories. I will be incorporating the Jotunmoot concept introduced earlier in this thread as well as a couple of things from SKT for the giants as allies. Also going to replace the Mission to Thay with the great Elementum Divinator also posted on here (which works well b/c my party liberated the Spell Forge). Here's what I need some advice on: [B]Metallic Dragons:[/B] I love the idea of the party recruiting an army of metallic dragons as allies, and also the idea of a mid-air battle between the party riding a dragon and chromatic dragons ridden by a Wyrmspeaker and friends. Suggestions for other adventures/quests I can add in to flesh this out as a serious sub-arc? [B]Elves: [/B]One of the PCs is a fallen assimar who was adopted by Elven parents in Silverymoon.
