    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.

    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.

    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.

    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) 😁

    @TheScottMcclintock 18 дней назад

    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 :)

    • @RogueWatson

    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).

    • @RogueWatson
      @RogueWatson 18 дней назад

      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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
