Either way these reviews have convinced me that I don't want to use the adventure in the book.Also, I'm going to ignore everything outside the university - ie there's no such thing as Arcavios. Strixhaven is a demi-plane that's just it. Maybe I'll build out a town outside Strixhaven where all the employees of Strixhaven live...? We'll see...I think I'm going to use Golden Vault, Radiant Citadel, and Candlekeep. And maybe Yawning Portal and/or Saltmarsh.  And that the dean of the Quandrix is also on the "board" of the Golden Vault; that the dean of the Silverquill is an ambassador to Radiant Citadel, and the dean of Lorehold is the sibling of the head librarian at Candlekeep (note, I have not read any of those 3 books yet either lol so forgive me if this doesn't quite work). Maybe the dean of Witherbloom is connected to Durnan of the Yawning Portal. Oh, and perhaps the Dean of the Prismari is from Greyhawk, and specifically a little village called Saltmarsh. Why not, right?And then each trimester, the PCs will study up on things they need for the adventure that will be their "final project" for the trimester; ie going and solving each of the adventures. And the reward they will get for passing their trimester exam for each of their classes is an Inspiration Die they can use in the upcoming adventure. And if they complete the final project, they level up. So by the end of 4 years, they graduate as 12th level graduates (4 years x 3 trimesters). Since they get a bunch of killer stuff as members of the houses; and I'm going to give them extra Inspiration dice - I think I'm going to go with the suggestion above (forget who) to have a lower standard array to start.I'd really like to figure out if in some or all of the various Golden Vault, Radiant Citadel or Candlekeep adventures there could be a way to fit in a rival party that's going for the same goal - in other words a rival student group from school?I think during the trimester, I'm going to do some more robust "downtime" type things; although how that's going to work I'm not sure yet. But i'd like to tie something to the ExtraCurricular and the Job. Yes, that will be a lift - hoping there's a DMGuild supplement that can give some juice to that. Even better would be a way to tie some aspect of the NPCs to be found at the EC or Job to an upcoming "final project" adventure.While I want to reconsider every single spell in PHB, Xanathar's and Tashas and re-assign them to a Strixhaven school - that's not going to happen.</blockquote>
