OMG lol, I've been keeping on om this series as I just started running this campaign for my group and this has been the most hilarious episode yet, it's awesome you guys and gals😂😂😂
The one in Dragonlance is depressingly funny when you realise that in the monster chapter of the adventure they give you Lord Soth himself, but he's completely absent from the Adventure.
Gotwald is definitely a candidate for a PTSD evaluation after this.
I did it! I found the only other person on the Internet who cares about grammar!
Your ships as a token idea is nice, wouldn't that work for buildings as well? And can you put a token on another lair and still have it flip? If not you could move the token to the token layer, flip it, then drop it down to the map lair again.
My bad for using the Crafting screen at the start, totally didn't notice.
Sails off at @16:37
I actually quite like the talking animal ones, especially when pairing it with the frost druids. Though, this comes with the caveat of already knowing Forgotten Realms lore, so I already know that Auriel is all about suffering, and only looking on in favor for those who embrace the harshness of winter to the point she'll only listen to prayers from her ELEVATED servants if they are praying, kneeled, inside a frozen stream. So that just opens up things like the animals being awakened simply to act as another hazard of life within Icewind Dale. So, rather than just evil, the druids can easily be shaded to be fanatics who simply want to see the best of all life rise to the top (sort of like the crazy angel in the movie "Constantine"). Throw in a sighting and/or rumor here and there of deep dwarves while you're on your quests, even a druid wild shaping once they've led them to a dark crystal deposit, and you have a decent tie in for the crystal dragon.
The Lost City and Lost Caverns of Tsojacanth are very popular adventures from back in the day.
😂🤣😂 poor Mac was expecting second breakfast.
We've completed Sunblight and will be heading back to 10 towns to deal with the dragon this weekend. I put them up against the Umber hulk there last session and rolled a 1, 2 & a 3 for it's attacks on the first round then two 1s and a 3 on the second round so it didn't hit once. It's confusing gaze was really effective until my son's druid cast fog cloud and nullified it. I'm going to give them a skill challenge when they reach Dougans Hole because I think once they see the dragon I will have trouble holding them back.
Aw I feel your pain with the low rolls. Nothing like repeatedly whiffing with a big cool monster to take the wind out of my sails in a fight!
@RogueWatson yeah I was disappointed but the kids had a blast!
@RogueWatson the balance of the universe has been restored. Last night I rolled two crits on one turn with a Duergar Spy in Easthaven taking my sons Shadow Monk to zero.
It's my map! Glad its of use. 😄
Short but sweet. Really hope you're fully recovered soon.
Hello. Where did you get your maps for this adventure? The DM guild maps included with this are not the same.
You can probably find the answer in the comments, but I made the map myself using free Roll20 assets.
Erhsick Watson kicks its off @22:27
The sickening radiance is a sphere, right? Would it effect Mac at the start of his turn?
Good question, I guess it depends on how big the ship is!
A potion seller with a box of unlabelled potions.
My son is preparing a pirate themed one shot for us, I'm excited to be a player for a change.
Ah I'm getting over a cold too. And it's 95°F on the last day of winter in Queensland Australia
Re dishing out NPCs I'm pretty certain you did. When the party were defending a town against a massive army. One player went boldly outside the walls with their NPC... only one character boldly came back!!
When you break it down, as long as the addition of the virtual side doesnt impact the quality of the physical side, its all wins. People who play solely virtually, are not impacted by the metric tonne of physical products available ( miniatures, map packs, tiamat coffee mugs etc) 😁
Can see eric salivating over all the 3d rubble piles in his future. 🤣
So much rubble!
As a 39yr i get to make fun of eric being super , duper 40yrs old. " its too loud, you're speaking too fast, what about custom penis monsters!" Classic b00mer stuff. 😉
Eric lives! @4:50
If it's from wotc I don't want it. It'll be trash
Session begins 13:56
Thanks, as always, for the generous review! I've been really conflicted regarding the idea of epic level play. My initial inclination was like yours -- that its niche and possibly masochistic. However, on the other side, Epic Characters is in the top 0.5% of all DMsguild products in terms of sales, and has sold well over 5,000 copies. So there definitely appears to be some curiosity out there, if not outright interest. Hopefully we'll be able to see something that uses this material, on the DM side, before the end of the year to test this theory :)
Very impressive! Clearly there's a demand there. And dang you are a tease, lol!
Great video as always! What would you do to fix the ecology of Lost Cavern of Tsoj-Canth? I'm going to adapt it into my Vecna Eve of Ruin campaign, which is the continuation of our Wild Beyond the Witchlight Campaign, so there's a lot of story connections in terms of a certain famous wizard/witch/Archfey (not to spoil too much).
Ohh that's a good idea tying the wizard together! Not sure on ecology, as a baseline probably reducing the amount of monsters in general. Maybe include opportunities for the vamp at the end to interact with the party throughout, so she's not totally random. (appear as a haunting project: "please come save me, brave heroes" - etc etc). And instead of passing through the hallways, use actual keys the party can collect, so it's a bit more intuitive. Dang maybe I should do a video on fixing this module, lol.
Eric : i guess they could shoot from 500ft away, with disadvantage? *- mac laughing in 600ft of sharpshooter - *
Lol I hate sharpshooter so much
I dm in person, with stat blocks printed, so super easy to tally next to spells. In saying that, I've probaly only had 1 spell caste last long enough for that to matter. 😅
Sounds cool and well put-together, but I'm not touching 5e content above 15th level with a ten foot pole lol. I'm too old to keep track of all that mess.
Me too, though I'd be interested to see more actual adventures that support higher level play. There's very few third party stuff, and official I think we only have DotMM and Vecna: EoR.
Pretty cool. I was thinking the same thing you mentioned at the end about giving a tier 1 boon to a lower lvl character as a reward from a powerful being.
.?
It’s like WOTC saw what Goodman Games was doing and wanted in on the action.
Going to resurrect this a little. Came here to watch some story I'd forgotten as we picked up the game recently. The dude talking over the story parts was thus very annoying. Thanks for making this series though!
I’m so glad this book is getting some attention! If I never see another video about the upcoming PHB it will be to soon. I love the new Barrier Peaks and now I’m excited about When a Star a Falls.
Thanks for watching!
Very excited to run Expedition.. Looks like a big improvement on the original though I think I will eliminate all the combat encounters from the random tables since there will be lots of that anyways and it runs the risk of being a slog
Yeah, this is a huge dungeon crawl with plenty of stuff inside!
Thanks for doing this review. I loved your energy about it! I've read the Barrier Peaks chapter and loved it. I own the original module but I really like this new one. Also thanks as I've been looking for more videos on it and am realizing that the Vecna adventure and the core rules really have sucked the energy from this publication. I would totally watch play throughs of these adventures. I'm really looking forward to running some of them.
Stay tuned for my ranking video, coming later today!
@@RogueWatson will do!! 😃
From my understanding this advice is from DM perspective, right? What advice do you have from player perspectives?
Be careful using the vampire bite attack against anyone paralysed, as it would be an auto crit! Big health reduction needing a long rest and higher chance would straight up die if it drops them to 0.
Ohhhhh!
Fun idea, since being loosey goosey with the wands. What if, he could choose to de'attune to a wand in order to use a legendary resistance? Make the players feel good, even though the voss saved.
You know, I bet Mac and/or Gotwald will try to disarm those wands, too!
Hey Eric, not sure if you will see this I had to watch the video later. The wand of fear is very different from the spell. It can cast the command spell to flee or grovel, also the description does not say that you need to concentrate on it.
" Welcome to my Bike-weakly stream, where i ride & perspire right here. If you are sailors, goth whelps, salsa mac or tortillas... this bike stream is not for you"
This is the point I am up to now with my party. I found a scale model of the forge level of Sunblight and printed it out. It's so big it doesn't fit on the dinner table so we had to set it up on the living room floor. Xardorok has turned invisible and retreated to the throne room, (my players don't know that yet), and the dragon took off up the shaft. It was a brilliant session with everyone getting to do some cool shit. I am really looking forward to running the next session for them. I think I will throw the Umber hulk at them as they are kicking ass.
Sunblight is basically a James Bond villain lair, and it's awesome. Definitely a highlight of the campaign.
Friday 13th was just a day to be extra careful for superstitions before the movie came out
yea i dont like it either, its too big, too spread out, the current sheet is perfect, everything is right there on 2 tabs main and spell. while i love the detail and the the thoughtfullness of it, i probably will not use it in my games.
Where did you find the battlemap for the pit of all flesh? it looks great and I'm interested in it for my game
Thank you for reminding me to put a link to the map! The base map is from the Roll20 marketplace - Battle Arena Constructor. marketplace.roll20.net/browse/set/8922/battle-arena-constructor I think I then pulled assets from other packs to make the blood, pit, etc.
Session begins 13:00
Session begins 26:49 😬
Roll20 actually paid for this to be shown off? This should still be in Alpha, not a public Beta. No Point buy. Poor UX / layout requiring so much scrolling and clicking to get handle previously basic tasks. Combat, Feats, Inventory all now in same place means even more clicking (though at least spells are on front page.) I just feel this was poorly designed and needs a big overhaul.
Looks good, especially in Dark Mode. I think I'm fine with using the check boxes for features/abilities. I like the built in Rage button that adds the damage automatically. Hopefully something similar is in there for Rogues' Sneak Attack.
The check boxes seem easy to miss, but maybe I'm not used to it yet.
