[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9158956, member: 177"] And LMoP has been expanded in [I]Phandelver and Below[/I]. I don't know the quality of the additional material, though. I suppose it is thematically easy enough to connect [I]Dragon of Ice Spire Peak[/I] to [I]Rime of the Frostmaiden[/I], - it is easy to stick something on the Peak to direct folks to Ten Towns and its troubles. DoIP should end with characters around 6th level. And RotF has an entry point designed to take in level 4-6 characters from the rest of the FR to the Ten Towns. However, I would not recommend Rime to new GMs. I have played through it, and we had fun, but our GM was [I]constantly[/I] griping about the adventure's poor organization and lack of cohesion. And, RotF takes place 500+ miles from anywhere, and doesn't, as written, interact with anywhere else. Any PC backgrounds related to their start, or NPC relationships you've built over the first adventure, will be lost, and the party will need to start anew. A practiced GM can smooth over the rough edges, but it'd be heavy work for a new GM. [/QUOTE]
