[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8294503, member: 6803643"] For anyone hankering for some Strixhaven-style Magic school madness in their games right NOW, there's a nigh-purely fluff series of 4e. [I]Dragon[/I] articles on magic schools you can drop straight into your campaign. Back issues can be purchased on DM's Guild. [I]Dragon [/I]#374's article "White Lotus Academy" does a deep dive on a single magic school. At the end are some 4e-related mechanics which you can ignore or adapt into a 5e game (4e feats, 1st-level daily spells for Artificers, Bards, Sorcerers, Swordmages, Warlocks, and Wizards, and a Paragon Path - a sort of higher-tier background layer you can add akin to getting a supernatural or dark gift later on in your career; in this case it's being an Academy Master). Minus the 4e-mechanics, it's a good 8.5 pages of flavour on the academy. Note that there's an associated adventure published in [I]Dungeon[/I] #165 - "Secrets of White Lotus Academy." I think adventure adaptation can be tricky because of balancing power level designs with narrative designs, so I'd take a look for the fluff only. And then [I]Dragon[/I] #403 has the article simply titled "Academies" and goes in lighter detail on 5 different academies. No mechanics in this article, so it's fully usable in 5e. In the related issue of [I]Dungeon[/I] (#194) there was also an article called "The War College" which does a 13 page dive on a military academy (more like Fire Emblem: Three Houses than Strixhaven - closely related tropes but not quite the same genre). As this is [I]Dungeon[/I] in the time when it harboured more than just adventures, it's not an adventure per say but more a miniature setting with adventure hooks. It does have some 4e-related mechanics (mostly monsters) scattered through the article, though. [/QUOTE]
