It is a year later. How did it work? What worked best? What didn't work well? What would you do differently next time? What what were part of your brainstorm that may be weren't your favorite ideas but we're still decent ideas?
@westcoastgeeks7294Ай бұрын
It was funny having to rethink the main villain. In the original, there is a cult of evil clerics to defeat. You don't have to fight, which is the best thing about B2. Little things like putting in more rooms in the cave of choas. Having the lizard men worship an Aztec God. In the spider woods. Having an old woman, aka green hag, answer questions if the party brought her the horns of the minotaur. What didn't work so well, there were to many side quests. I think next time I will limit it to 3. But overall having a villian who was trying to raise a secret army to attack the keep from the inside. The player finding out about and finding the proof to stop her was fun. My main advice would be having items players hear about, then giving hint to the location . I hoped that help, and thanks for stopping by.
@NemoDtwentyАй бұрын
@@westcoastgeeks7294 Yes, it helped. I've always thought that you NEEDED sidequests to level up to the point of being able to handle the CoC. TPKs are usually the result of level 1 characters heading there. I love what you did here. Thanks for the video.

The Tables book is good - again, because there are very few to no maps. And yes, I'm old and my eyes are old, but I shouldn't have to be squinting at the map in a trap book to understand the comparative height of a square's location. Which is a shame that these books are so good to deal with this issue over several books.
