I started my runs as the players using the goblins of cragmaw hideout. They conquered the cave, and then they receive the message about gundred, and they fight the party. After that, the party start as prisioner with soldar.

Yo, this description is waaaaau better than Wotc. Will use it for shattered obelisk. Tyvm.

[@sleighthand]

Glad you enjoyed it! Best of luck with the campaign 😃

[@know_not_wickedness]

This was hysterical.

[@krempelritter9950]

Very good video, but some facts got mixed up. Sildar Hallwinter is not a Knight of the Order of the Gauntlet. He is an agent of the Lords' Alliance and used to be a Waterdavian Griffon Cavallerist. It is Daran Edermath who is a member of the Order of the Gauntlet, allbeit retired. Halia Thornton on the other hand is very much not retired. She's an active member of the Zhentarim.

A fine video. Truth be told, I had to watch a little at a time and come back to it repeatedly due to the music. It was very difficult to tune out that short, and endlessly repeated piano bit. Otherwise, a fine video.

[@scroogemcj7851]

Got my sub.

[@sleighthand]

Welcome to the channel 😀

[@wingwalker007]

Love the video, great work as always. The background music could have been quieter and with more variation though

[@sleighthand]

Thanks and will definitely look at the audio mix more for the next video :)

[@southdakota7093]

I love what you are doing, keep up the amazing work!!

[@sleighthand]

Thank you! Will do!

[@deansturtevant45]

Well I started two campaigns with this. One group defeated the Red Brands and defeated the Black Spider. Working with the Zents they rebuilt the manor. The other group let the Hamlet burn and the town Master be hung by killing the few red brands in the village then leaving.

Where else can I find good lore for the sword Coast? I'm struggling to find novels ect

[@efferzzreffe4903]

wouldn't want to live there, the place is jinxed!!! 😮 Hey, Great Presentation! 😁 👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏💖

[@sleighthand]

Thanks! 😃. And ya, definitely not a place to put down roots 🤣

[@OlOlOIIO]

Wow. Just took a glimpse at your channel. Definitely subscribing. Excited to dive into your videos. Especially if they’re as awesome as this was.

[@sleighthand]

Welcome! Definitely bear in mind that this is my newest video and have been trying to improve the quality over time when you go back through the library 😂

[@AlternityGM]

Nice background on Phandalin & the region. I ran LMoP years ago and running it again for a solo player. I intend to run the Phandelver & Below sequel someday soon. My group never did Dragon of Icespire Peak so I may DM that first before jumping into the sequel campaign. I’m curious what sources you used for this background on Phandalin?

[@sleighthand]

Some of it came from LMoP, Icespire, Baldur's Gate 3, the Grand History of the Realms, Storm King's Thunder, Acquisitions Incorporated. :)

[@MunUtku]

Leilon isn't located Northeastwards of Phandalin on the contrary it is to Southwestwards. You might be using a mirror image of the map. And calling Leilon as crossrads of somesort, where roadsfade into trails? Wth is that. Crossroad is an actual name in that locale, North of Leilon when you go towards Neverwinter for around 20 miles there you find the Crossroad where High Road(Coastal tradeway that stretches from Northern Sword Coast city Luskan down south to Neverwinter, Leilon,Waterdeep, Daggerford and Baldur's Gate) intersects with Triboar Trail.(which is almost a day of travel from Leilon, and just a little more from Phandalin)...The crossroads has a non canonical Keep placed in that intersection named "Crossroad keep" while non canonical many FR sages, players and DM's consider it canonical as it's been used as multiple official franchises(Neverwinter game series being the most popular example). I love the idea of making such videos but let's not confuse minds, as flawed data is already rampant in web, making it worse will damage the consistency of Forgotten Realms lore further.

[@ImOnUToob]

The looped audio track is driving me nuts

[@Louis-ef4eb]

DO ANOTHER without the piano!! 😂

[@BuboStabbins]

Wonderful video. Ty

[@sleighthand]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tibot4228]

Loved it, will definitely watch more! If possible, would you consider breaking these videos down into chapters with timestamps in the description?

[@sleighthand]

Thanks and Noted! I'll start working on putting in some chapters :)

[@benjammin6475]

I love how you make these videos. will you Please do the sea of stars????

[@sleighthand]

Is this what you are after? Put it together not too long ago :). kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioXFlWagZp5nf9ksi=jqrD13_4hTYnxgLW

[@Louis-ef4eb]

Please re make this without the PIANO!!! 😂

[@Eren______]

What prompt did you use to get that painting like look on character images?

[@andershjsted2989]

This is awesome :) Where do you get your art from? I need it for my campaign.

[@ericemerald7778]

ChatGPT ahh script

[@OlOlOIIO]

Wow. This is beautiful. Definitely posting this on my play by post discord server as a description of Phandalin that is insanely better than I will ever be able to describe… might have to time stamp things though to avoid spoilers xD Absolutely love that you even included the Acquisition’s Incorporated content. Any chance this beautiful video can get a bonus content addition of The Shattered Obelisk?

[@sleighthand]

I'll definitely be doing an updated video with the Shattered Obelisk info when that content is finally out in the wild here

[@OlOlOIIO]

I’ll be looking forward to it!

[@calebchristensen900]

So, if Phandalin becomes self governing like a city-state or a county; would the citizens be known as Phandali’s, or Phandalinians?

[@djh9748]

AI images. AI script and I assume AI music. Probably a good KZbin model though. Might use chatGPT 4 next time. Not every sentence has to be spun in some fantastic metaphor. But will haunt your channel to see what you might generate next.

[@ArtsAndTactics]

That music has to stop. Better narration with no background than that endless arpeggio!

[@sleighthand]

Definitely heard that feedback and completely understand. Taking a better listen to future videos to prevent the repetitive nature of it. :)

[@Ayhgkcgbhdgjj]

Transcript please?

[@bossbullyboy195]

Great video, not sure where alot of the beholder and other stuff came from though, do you have the cannon/lore sources for it?
