[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 8025450, member: 6702445"] So, this is pretty much how I ended up running [I]Tyranny of Dragons,[/I] back when it was the only full-length hardback adventure available and was also roundly panned on this board. And my group had a wonderful time with it if I do say so myself, and they still talk about that campaign more than two years after it finally ended at level 20. My first piece of advice is to try to stay positive. Don't think of it as "a bad adventure." Try to get into your players' enthusiasm. My second piece of advice is to read up on all the suggestions you can find for running it, especially if anyone has tips on how to make the NPCs more vivid. Which brings me to the next point... It's really not that difficult. I'm running [I]Curse of Strahd[/I] on Roll20, and I've added several supplements from the DM's Guild. Most of them come with their own maps that you can upload, and some are even starting to include tokens. There are lots of good YouTube channels with tips on how to easily set up custom monsters, etc., in Roll20 (I can recommend some that helped me, if you want). [/QUOTE]
