    Currently running the campaign for my two bros. They are now looking for the 'villain' and seeing as how we're still at chapter 3 and there isn't a 'main' villain so far, I'm going to turn their NPC dwarf cleric party member into the 'main' villain. Without the 'healing' guy, they're gonna regret all the mud they drag the NPC through!

While he was in the party, he's been investing in several businesses, mainly the Lionshield Coster. Now, the party will be declined service by the business empire he's making so they have to buy items from free traders. I've added magic items that the characters can use to defeat the anti-hero, specifically at his own magic. It's gotten very entertaining 😀👍

    I played SKT as a player but would like to DM it one day. It’s a large and epic campaign. Fighting giants is never easy. It’s a good follow-up to LMoP but not necessary either. I would limit the number of sidequests to give PCs more guidance as sometimes a sandbox campaign can feel lost for players. When you have a long multi-session campaign the goals sometimes get lost or confusing

    this has been extremely useful - I am finishing Stormwreck isle as a new DM for my new group - and looking for an adventure to jump into with the same characters who would be level 3/4 - I think this seems great and just start it from the very beginning with them already at level 3 - if anything would be too easy it would only be at the very beginning which can give them a (false) sense of just how powerful they have become after the adventure at Stormwreck!

    Advice: The Krakens Gamble is not option, It is required to make the story come together. Without it, the kraken society is straight up a fluff piece. But with the expansion, they become the shared antagonist and allows several deep sudden revalations late game. Without it the endgame is just bossfights with no meaning and fetch quests for information from people and places you never heard of.

    • @ConeofCool

    • @ConeofCool
      @ConeofCool ปีที่แล้ว

      Both of my parties loved the simplicity and rewards of the encounters. They visited every single spirit mound even after I insisted only one was required. If you give the party a map and tell them there are relics located at each site, they get excited to start graverobbing. While the rest of the adventure is more attractive from the DMs perspective, this was definitely a highlight for my players. SKT is also made to be a wilderness adventure, not a city based campaign at all. The relationship with the barbarians and the giants is related to the story and certainly adds to the campaign. No need to reinvent the wheel when the book gives you all the tools you need.
