Something like this would have been really helpful for Storm Kings Thunder considering Bryn Shander is one of the starting locations lmao

Ah, the Zhentarim...I always enjoy having them introduced. The fact that they are a villainous organization on a grand-scale...but be comprised of members who are not necessarily evil themselves...is a really interesting concept. I had a character who had the "Mercenary" background, and owed much of their loyalty & support to the Zhentarim for lifting them from poverty...he, like many in his group, had the Zhentarim logo tattooed on his back. ...which made for interesting conversations when the rest of the party saw it: being associated with an "evil" organization is pretty damning. But the Zhentarim work in cells...and the smaller, individual groups never get a sense that they are, in fact, serving a larger, sinister force. They're just doing jobs. They're just mercenaries. Some are pretty decent folk...others...well, maybe they enjoy it TOO much. It's fun to see how the other players react...and how the DM uses it.

I rule the modern Zentharim as a Mafia-like organization, they want control of the business, if the money keeps flowing and it's in their hands, everyone is happy. If you want to open your business and cut them off, maybe you get a dagger on your door, maybe your horsecart loses a wheel, then if you don't get the message kneecaps start flying or your son goes on a completely harmless trip in the woods with a Zhent associate, just to drive home the point they could get your son any day... :')

I imagine right now Sorcerers with access to the Daylight spell and the ability to extend the duration would be in demand for indoor/greenhouses in Icewind Dale.

I am running my first campaign as a DM and I am using the Storm King's Thunder as source material. So here I am, having my players running through Icewind Dale and me taking the reigns of the adventure and thinking: "Let's spice up the journey". So what was some sort of wilderness picnic with some random encounters has developed in 3 different dungeons, several encounters and events,. some trout fishing, and a short epic story for my players to truly become the heroes of Icewind Dale. And then D&D is about to release a full-fledged adventure about the Dale. Talk about timing!

So... Bryn Shander has the only smithy in all of Ten Towns? There is another smithy in Icewind Dale, but not in the Ten Towns (flipping pages here...). And yet, in the Blackiron Blades entry it says that veteran sellswords disdain Garn's craft. If they are not buying their weapons at the *only* smithy in all of Ten Towns, where do they get them?

I don't know what the story will be, but I would love to play a game where the first levels the players are in Ten Towns before the magical storms, getting to know the place and the people so the "hard choices" they'll have to make when the Frostmaiden is angry will be significantly harder

@ShadowChief1174 жыл бұрын
Its not that hard to imagine why you're in the Ten Towns/ID area. The easiest being that you were there before the pass closed and are trapped and decided to stand up and figure out what's wrong. Or maybe you fell into a magical portal in a forest in Kara Tur and it teleported you into the center of a Blizzard right outside the gates of Bryn Shander. Or you're simply a denizen of Ten Towns. Or literally anything really.
@TheGilray844 жыл бұрын
Lost in the Aether : no "portal" thing thank you. But if you was here when the pass closed, it means that you are in Ten Towns for 2 years... It's a long time doing nothing. And if your players don't want to be ten towners here we are again. And i don't speak of the Arcana Brotherhood : they aren't ten towners and yet they are stuck here. But i will find something of course. I just wanted a rational start, like winter-is-coming-start ! 😅
@elihildreth98543 жыл бұрын
A little late to respond as the module has been out for a long while but the pass IS POSSIBLE to get through it is just MOST PEOPLE get lost and few people make it through but it is very treacherous. It says in the module some merchants and traders still make their way there just very VERY few.

@texasbeast2393 жыл бұрын
It was running away from their troubles elsewhere that brought them to Ten-Towns. The people there literally fled north until there was no more world left to run to. The knucklehead trout is what kept them, there--that, and the fear of ever going back where they came from.
