Hi all,
I note there hasn't been much chatter about the Strixhaven book or its adventure since it came out over a year ago. Because I am intending to use it as a frame for an upcoming campaign, I thought I'd start a thread on enhancing the adventure that comes with the book.
For starters, I'm aware that many people have described the adventure as "bare bones". I'd have to agree. So one of my goals is to fill out the school years with other short adventures. Some might just be roleplaying encounters, while others might be whole other adventures cut-and-pasted in. For instance, with a major focus on the Biblioplex library at the heart of the Strixhaven campus, I think it would be super easy to port over any number of the Candlekeep Mysteries adventures.
I also think it would be easy to port over some of the Radiant Citadel adventures. Since so many of those open with a festival, I think it would be super easy to just say that the student PCs are heading over to X community to check out their local Mardi Gras during a term break or over a long weekend or whatever.
I might also try to splice in some other short adventures as I see fit.
One other thing I'm going to do is throw out the map of the Biblioplex that is supplied in the adventure. Based on both the interior and exterior art of the library, as well as the introductory description of it in the book, that map does not come anywhere near doing the place justice. It's just way too small and pedestrian. I'm going to treat it as something of an extradimensional space where the inside is bigger than the outside (like the Library of Unseen University) and just run all scenarios and encounters in there via theater of the mind.
Anyone else got any suggestions for fleshing out the bones of the Curriculum of Chaos adventure?
