G'day, folks!
Two sessions into Shadow of the Dragon Queen - that is, starting at level 2 and now reaching level 4, otherwise known as all of "Chapter 3", my report is...
It doesn't suck... yet!

It's been a while since I ran a hardcover published adventure from Wizards (the last was Descent into Avernus, which we didn't finish and I never want to finish, because I hate it that much). Covid really did stop my regular hardcover play. (My homebrew Greyhawk game continued without interruption).
I've rather enjoyed the peaceful beginning to Shadow of the Dragon Queen which just lasts long enough for the players to experience some feeling of "normality" before everything goes incredibly wrong. Let's see how the rest of it goes. We're playing online with weekly 3-hour sessions. Given my general method of running these things, I expect it'll take a minimum of 3-4 months, but we'll see. (I'm posting weekly reports to my blog).
Here's hoping that the strong opening manages to continue into a memorable campaign!
Cheers,
Merric
