I hope we get some content about the Cormyr or Lands of Intrigue. I mean. 4th edition has lot about the Neverwinter. Also there is this massive online game “Neverwinter” so I would say I can steal lot of content from this sources.
I think it's really important for people to know that the Chasm is now its own district and that it has been closed. It's currently a laisse faire esque slum that people can build in without the fear of excessive taxation or persecution because they want to encourage people to build there. This is in the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide along with an updated map that DM's can use for reference.
My party decided to go there in LMoP. That was my first time realizing I could tell my friends that I was just not prepared for it (and couldn't find anything substantial online). So, being good friends, they skipped it and went to Thundertree directly I'm glad this exists for new (and experienced) DMs to use when they run into a similar situation
Me too, my players suddenly think it's a good idea to go to Neverwinter to ask around for thundertree. So I just whipped out a generic city description for it.
My girlfriend and I have been playing the dragon of icespire peak from some months now (I'm the DM) and she recently went to explore the city of neverwinter, luckily I had read a bit of the lore, but as you may know neverwinter is so full of lore (yet none of it technically appears in the adventure) that it was severely overwhelming. Thankfully I managed to improvise a really fun encounter in the docks, were a nobleman was yelling at a ship's captain because his goods (that the captain was commissioned for) were stolen! This lead to a very fun investigation of the crew and the chase of Jerry the mysterious amd newest crew member, who hid some stuff in his quarters including a skull in a black cloth triangle (Myrkul's symbol) Eventually she found Jerry who was taking the goods into the high road wanting to meet with one of Myrkul's cultists... Anyways, the nobleman was actually one of the cultists and he and Jerry were working together in order to hide from the captain and everyone else some secret cargo including some very special gems that would be used to perform a ritual in the following quests after TDOIP (storm Lord's wrath and the following two supplements) The giant coffin like chest in wich the gems were hidden was being carried by 7 skeletons who were summoned by Jerry (I used the bandit captain stat block for him) it was an easy encounter but a really fun one nonetheless The gems are homebrew items I made that work as a Spellcasting focus for anyone who's holding them AND they can replace any specific material components (for example the diamond in a revivify spell), but after being used that way the stones will loose their magic and will become regular gems (sellable for 15 GP) or course you could change that, but it worked really well for us When she tried to make the nobleman apologize to the captain, she noticed he had Mykul's symbol tattooed on him, and found out about his plan. After some interrogation, the nobleman had his life taken away from him by Mykul's own hand, who possessed him, made a speech and then made him age unnaturally fast in front of the party (just to intimidate them, and to stop them from getting a lot of info) This was probably one of my favorite moments in the campaign just yet and I'm really proud of me because this is my first ever campaign and I loved how everything turned out. Thank you for this video, I will definitely be using this info for more neverwinter encounters in the future :D
Played a recent campaign where my half elf was a secret scion of the Alagondars. Campaign culminated with her taking back the throne and imprisoning the Lord Protector. Love seeing your discussion of the place!
My character is also a half elf and heir to Neverwinter planning on taking back the throne sooner or later after dealing with Count Strahd Von Zarovich, who by this point wants to take over both the domains of dread and the Sword Coast.
@@NeilCWCampbell Tell that to Strahd in my group’s campaign! Haha 😂 He is dead set on capturing the city and killing the remaining members of the Alagondar royal family, mainly my character. A war between Barovia and Neverwinter is brewing and I’ve been trying to use negotiations to stop it. Unfortunately nothing has worked and my character now feels like the last line of defense between Count Strahd Von Zarovich and the Neverwinter throne.
@@NeilCWCampbell Funny thing is our vampire rogues (Evelyn and Anthony) have been doing really poorly recently. We split the party one time and the rogues got captured by Strahd in Barovia and had to be saved by the were-ravens. Meanwhile the two nobles (Zelda and Alexander) were trying to gather allies on the Sword Coast.
Dang, got here too late for the giveaway. This looks really awesome - in my home campaign, my player was pressed into service by Lord Nevermember to help hunt down any potential heirs, as he (my player) had a dark past and was Wanted in the southern Sword Coast. Lord Nevermember, in that campaign, is building up power to compete with the Lord's Alliance; he's a bit peeved at his treatment by them in the recent past while he was a member. This plays into why he is putting resources into helping Leilon (and to a lesser extent Phandalin) rebuild in the DoIP and Leilon tro adventures.
Ahh that's some truly game of thrones material!! And remember the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
@@BobWorldBuilder Definitely! DMs Guild is such a cool site for content! My first content is being published this week (part of an anthology). Excited to see how this guide goes!
I am DMing my own version of the Dragon of Icespire Peak centering the plot around Neverwinter, and there is so much lore behind this Kingdom that I was struggling bringing it to life. I am so amazed you posted this video that I have to thank you for talking about Neverwinter and touching upon this campaign. You've been helping me out so much!
Yay! I got featured as one of the confused folks who didn't know how to handle Neverwinter, until now. Great video Bob! I look forward to incorporating it into my game, when (and if) my party decides to travel to Neverwinter.
I still don't understand why Neverwinter is just "there" in D&D 5e, when the fact is that it's one of the most important cities in the lore of Forgotten Realms! So I'm excited to explore more of it!
@@isaacmandagie2638 The answer why it is mostly not explain more by D&D in 5e is because the current license is in the hands of Cryptid Studio for Nerverwinter MMORPG. So basically if you want to see and learn more lore about the City, you need to play that game.
Thank you for this! My level 3 players just finished Stormwreck Isle and we're heading to the mainland tomorrow night to start the campaign proper. Just what I needed to get some last minute inspiration. U da best Bob
Sure am glad I bought a new bigger binder. This Neverwinter Supplement will be a great addition to my collection. And you mentioned Farley :) Can't wait to hear and see more! Hope life is treating you, Grace and your cat well!
Yep! That's the encounter he just seemed to fit so perfectly for! Really looking forward to seeing how the art comes out :) Life is good here, and I hope the same to you, Jaime!
Lord Alagondar - it's finally here! Sounds great. My party hit the Dragon Barrow before Neverwinter last night so I have another few days to prepare for their Neverwinter visit. They are intent on meeting up with Alfonse Kalazorn from Butterskull Ranch who left his ranch for the city where he is planning on setting up a store to sell his unique butter skulls. Alfonse also promised them some of his horses for saving his life. Which is the main reason they are heading there - but they also want to buy/sell things at stores with larger selection.
That's a great connection! And the 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
How about a supplement that names shops and NPCs for the shops? Maybe temples and characters for those as well. Only have seen Taverns as places of interest.
That's helpful. I'm running a sandbox campaign that started with elements of both Lost Mine and Dragon of Icespire, with Neverember being the main villain. I have them in a long side quest to the Underdark where they've discovered the full scope of his conspiracy...because I haven't fleshed out the details for Neverwinter yet. This really helps - thanks!
SCAG mentions that the chasm has been filled now. I like the idea of characters coming to Neverwinter in order to try to claim some of the new real-estate that has opened up.
Another great video! Those random urban encounters are amazing though! I'm running for my fiancee and she's never expressed interest in checking out Neverwinter, which I guess means I'm lucky--even though I looked up a good deal of information about it just in case. It's particularly fascinating that Neverember was disgraced and exiled from Waterdeep (Dragon Heist is specifically caused by his legendary embezzlements) and then just moved north and started over. I added hints at that awkward situation to my game (mostly for myself, haha) by including a pair of betrothed nobles, one from Neverwinter and one from Waterdeep, as guests at Falcon's Lodge. I had them tag along when Falcon led them to the Logger's Camp. I figured when the Ankhegs showed up, one could be put into danger. This way the PC could, at least indirectly, influence the relations between the two rival cities-states (for the better or worse).
Woo! Happy to help, and we've hardly gotten into the LMoP videos yet haha Thank you for tuning in early! The 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
Before the module was made, I had to look this stuff up for Neverwinter. And for the most part, I got everything down. With this new info now, I can have more charactee for Lord and Lady Neverwinter.
Thanks! I can't wait to use this! I'm running Dragon of Icespire Peak in the homebrew setting I'm trying to create, and this is great inspiration for the city I'm using in place of Neverwinter. Great work, keep it up!
Brought. Your videos help me a lot running DOIP. Glad I found this out in time my campaign derail so hard before reaching Divine Contention. They must enter Neverwinter next weekend. If not for this I never knew the castel rebuild. Which can be a big problems later.
thanks for this! the players Im DMing for completly took me offguard by wanting to go to neverwinter and I had no idea what to do for the session. Thanks!
I hadn't watched your videos in the last few months (sadly). I came back for Rime of the Frost Maiden. My group is about to finish Dragon Heist and have decided to connect it to Rime of the Frost Maiden. I thought it would be fun to make one of the PCs be the descendent of the royal family of Neverwinter to bring an interesting dynamic with Renaer. Now that I've watched this video I'm filled with ideas of a Neverwinter ending where the PC claims his or hers birth right. Thanks for all the great videos.
In Icespire, I just made it so reconstruction has only just started on Neverwinter and a garrison is positioned on the outskirts at a small settlement. Purely a military base but welcoming to travelers seeking shelter. Even has a shop and I weaved some backstory npc's into it. They didn't wander into the ruins but if they did I had a super simple encounter with some low level monsters and loot prepared.
Began planning to run LMOP and TDOIP combined, with not a lot of info on Neverwinter, I decided to make the Eruption of Mt. Hotenow have happened 3 months ago. The mines and Phandalin are booming because of the refugee population and need for materials to rebuild the destroyed city which is under martial law. A steward from high ranking nobility has taken power over the city since the destruction of the royal residence and presumed death of the royal family. Now that rescue is done and they have begun rebuilding the city; entry is restricted to authorized construction personnel. The Rockseeker Brothers helped with rescue/rebuild during the day and spent nights looking for evidence regarding a family story about once owning a magic mine, in the ruins of city hall of records, libraries, and the college geology and history departments. Many Drow escaped the underdark via the new chasm (which destroyed a drow settlement far beneath the city when it formed) in the south eastern section of the city (including the Black Spider?) The Eruption made a few surviving dragons that called Mt. Hotenow home, flee to the surrounding areas of Neverwinter Wood and the Sword Mountains. The Eruption displaced Many mountain Orcs as did the Dragons taking over the Sword Mountains, they gathered in Neverwinter wood and some came together under King Grol to become the Cragmaws, some formed a cult, but both see an opportunity to claim power in the region as the destruction of Neverwinter has disrupted the military stationed there that patrolled the surrounding area, high road, Triboar Trail and small towns nearby.
Dude I wrote a similar home brew script involving the true neverwinter heir and a super fancy vault. Btw awesome random encounters you made for this. You are the man
I just finished running my wife’s party through LMoP and DoIP. Now, on behalf of the Emerald Enclave, Reidoth has hired “the Negotiators” to locate a couple of druids (twin sisters) that have gone missing in Icewind Dale. He will accompany them as far as Neverwinter, sharing history about the Northern Sword Coast along the way. By the time they have reached Bryn Shander, they will have been exposed to some interesting background lore that might prove useful in their next adventure. Now, if only I had a concise, well-composed guide to urban encounters they may have while they are in Neverwinter ;O)
@@BobWorldBuilder Assuming that they survive Auril's wrath, they'll end up back in Bryn Shander just in time for a Frost Giant attack and away he go into Ch.2 of SKT. Damn, I love this game! :0)
I'm currently running DoIP for my friends, who are mostly new to D&D, but when I learned the module didn't have any information about the biggest city smack dab in the middle of the map of the sword coast, I was floored. This is going to be so helpful when my party eventually chooses to go to Neverwinter. Lord Alagondar!
Congrats Andy! Please send an email to bobworldbuilder@gmail.com (Ideally with an email address that includes your name here) And same! Honestly, the map shows wayyy to much. The adventure only takes place in the bottom half!
As I look to direct my party northwards, for RotFM, I could really benefit from info about Neverwinter. That's when YT and vids like this, come into play.
This looks amazing. Will definitely get! I recently wrote a Silverymoon college-themed adventure for my daughter. I can send you a free copy if you’re interested?
Great video! I got the Neverwinter campaign from 4e but never really got to use it. I think I might bring it back sometime. Enjoying your videos so far!
@@BobWorldBuilder I've been running through it, 4e, for some time now and this could have been useful when I started--long enough ago I'm not going to say. :P Oh, well. Still of use now, though, as they are using Neverwinter as a home base. Def read it, lots of lore. Although you really need to play the Neverwinter MMO to get the whole story.
In the campaign I am playing in right now it’s taking place in icewindale where we are trying to help people with the end goal lifting the curse(or i think). Our DM gives every character a secret and mine is that I am the last of the royal family for neverwinter and I guess that means I could be king. So wanted to look up more about neverwinter! Just in case
I appreciate that! Thank you for tuning in early! The 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
When I ran Phandelver, my players said they hated this town and wanted to go back to Neverwinter (shrugs). I let them go there, they looked at the shops (found out that there's no shop of +1 equipment), then I reigned them back in with their plot objective.
Haha, well there can be a shop of +1 stuff if you want! In two weeks I have a video coming about magic items and how to make just that sort of thing interesting!
I'm actually weaving my own D&D Campaign, weaving 4th edition Neverwinter Adventures as a prequel to LMOP, DOIP, into Tyranny of Dragons. The party is a covert ops force under command of one of the Masked Lords of Waterdeep. Primarily to spy on and undermine Lord Protector Nevermember (a keep your friends close, your enemies closer thing), also make contact with the Sons of Alagondar, to unify them and form a support network. It is known to the Lords Alliance that Neverember has his own autocratic/imperialist goals. The Lords Alliance is not yet ready to pull the plug on Neverember because of his popularity. They want to keep him more of a puppet (lesser of two evils). The party is to work to get in Neverember's good graces (but covertly work against him with the rebel groups). The party will also encounter The Cult of the Dragon & Red Wizards and begin to gather early clues as to what they are up to in Neverwinter. Rather than just have information fed to them in HoTDQ & RoT, they will build their knowledge over time through all of the modules prior to HoTDQ. So when the first formal Councilmeeting is held, they can report. I love the City of NeverWinter. It creates so much opportunity to add more geo-political intrigue, covert operations, political strategy to my Campaign. Almost a cold war scenario between WaterDeep an Neverwinter. The Lord's Alliance will want to keep Neverwinter in it's orbit and not see Neverwinter under Neverember create it's own empire. This is to better have a reason that Rockseeker Mining Company to seek out the adventurers to lead into my whole LMOP ->- DOIP - Storm Lord's Wrath - Sleeping Dragon's Wake - Tyranny of Dragons. I hope to create an immersive campaign. Anyway, wish me luck.
Yeah, maybe that’s why WotC has waited so long to really produce anything about Neverwinter, but I’m sure it will come soon! I still have to check out that setting book for myself
My PCs have just finished Dragon of Icespire Peak, and want to visit Neverwinter (fortunately, they delayed going there until the dragon was taken care of). I've known they wanted to go there for some time, so I have prepared a _long_ document that includes quests, NPCs, shops, taverns, notable locations, etc., all tailored to our campaign and character backstories. But I would've found it harder without Bob's _Urban Encounters for Neverwinter_ which I've used as an inspiration for many of the starting points of quests I've planned. So, thank you Bob! Oh, and if anyone is interested, I'm happy to share any details of my Neverwinter City plans that could be translated to other DM's campaigns. Just let me know!
Im running an adventure with a sort of DLC event where the supply lines of phandalin are wrecked and the zhentarim and an OC faction have joined forces to take control of the overworlds economy while exerting rule with status and material power the others find hard to come by at this point in time. Neverwinter is the helm of this topic and ive spent a good 1 or 2 sessions with my party on the high road clearing bandits off the trail just way putting the description of neverwinter off..
I know it''s pretty common to use random fantasy art images for D&D purposes, I do it all the time so no judgement here. It is kind of funny though when you accidently choose a conflicting image though. The image you choose for Waylen the priest of Oghma is the official character art for Laeral Silverhand. One of the Seven Sisters, Chosen of Mystra, Partner of Khelben Arunson (Blackstaff), and I believe at this time in the late 15th century the current Open Lord of Waterdeep. She's kind of a big deal lol.
Bob, how does this resource not have any reviews on DMs Guild? I'd have thought with a silver rating you'd have had a bunch of satisfied customers singing your praises there - just like you do in your videos. Are reviews/comments something you can enable (or not) when you post resources to DMs Guild?
I remember the Shining Serpent and The Moonstone Mask from the old Neverwinter Nights game. Were the Beggar's Nest and Prison districts destroyed by the chasm? Also I want to make a Wizard of Ooze NPC now. :)
I'm not exactly sure. While the games are apparently considered D&D canon, I found some conflicting info online and decided to omit things that weren't mentioned in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. And that's awesome! Haha, you can use my ooze people from the homebrew races video!
@@BobWorldBuilder ohh yes. My players just got to Neverwinter and they really liked all the cultural touches and details. I haven't seen them this excited since a major plot point. Thanks again.
My character in my group's Curse of Strahd campaign is the heir to Neverwinter and has been trying to make an alliance with Barovia. Unfortunately things went south and now the Count wants Zelda dead but is frustrated that she keeps surviving encounters and coming back from the dead. Additionally she is traveling with Alexander Von Roeyen (Zarovich), Strahd's second and youngest brother. Strahd is not going to like it once he finds out Zelda and Alexander are close friends and planning on making Alexander king once we defeat Strahd. This is seriously turning into a Game of Thrones power play between Strahd and the party.
There is an official wotc 5e adventure that goes to Neverwinter as the castle is being restored. The quest involves tax evasion to get around the high taxes that are being used to repair the castle. It involves the "holes", intact prisons under the ruins of the castle and the Halls of Knowledge.
Lord Alagondar! - I play in a Game set in Neverwinter currently - Post chasm so it is filled up but the city is under siege by demons. I do love the city and its history.

Could not have come at a better time. Party just finished DoIP over the holiday weekend. And ended up smashing the dragon in phandalin because of a random roll encounter. Now guess what?... The hermit in the party has a discovery. And it ended up sending them toward neverwinter just as the session ends. Thanks for helping mr save the next session Bob
I am officially a victim of my own success. After homebrewing Neverwinter, and evidently making it too interesting, my players don't want to stay in Leilon or go back to Phandalin, they just want to keep going back to Neverwinter. So a tip for other DMs whose players want to head to Neverwinter: make it interesting, but not _too_ interesting!

Oh and another sidenote to the story, my player did this as the very first thing in the session. The session started, and instead of leaving Phandalin to go on the quest, they where like “I instead go to neverwinter”. Queue me freaking out and panicking not knowing how to even get them there. It was a wild time haha

Sooo... this 'supplement' has ONE page of Neverwinter history in it, the rest is generic city adventure ? And you're - at least in this video - completely ignoring the elephant in the room... the friggin chasm that's made Neverwinter practically uninhabitable after the catastrophy ?! They built a wall around that to protect them from what's coming from there. Well, it's sealed now. So it's just a hole, right ? But hey. Neverwinter got inns and grafitti.
Exactly! This supplement is titled “Urban Encounters for Neverwinter,” and it’s purpose stated in the doc is to provide fun encounters for the city. The lore summary mostly excludes the chasm because it has been sealed for decades and is no longer relevant to Neverwintans or adventurers coming here on a brief trip from Phandalin. Hopefully that clears up any misconceptions about the supplement :)
@@BobWorldBuilder I disagree! Having read somewhere that the chasm was concreted over and that people don't really want to live on top of it anymore gave me two great ideas for it! The first idea is that the entire district around the chasm is the "poor quarter", only those desparate enough will buy/rent a house on top of/around the chasm district, potentially even leaving room for an unscrupulous landlord plot device. Some conniving Lord that wants to buy up all the property around the chasm. The second idea was to lean into Lord Neverembers drive to revilatise the North - have the chasm be the cities huuuge marketplace ala Waukeens Promenade from BG 2.

Thankfully I managed to improvise a really fun encounter in the docks, were a nobleman was yelling at a ship's captain because his goods (that the captain was commissioned for) were stolen! This lead to a very fun investigation of the crew and the chase of Jerry the mysterious amd newest crew member, who hid some stuff in his quarters including a skull in a black cloth triangle (Myrkul's symbol)
Eventually she found Jerry who was taking the goods into the high road wanting to meet with one of Myrkul's cultists... Anyways, the nobleman was actually one of the cultists and he and Jerry were working together in order to hide from the captain and everyone else some secret cargo including some very special gems that would be used to perform a ritual in the following quests after TDOIP (storm Lord's wrath and the following two supplements)
The giant coffin like chest in wich the gems were hidden was being carried by 7 skeletons who were summoned by Jerry (I used the bandit captain stat block for him) it was an easy encounter but a really fun one nonetheless
The gems are homebrew items I made that work as a Spellcasting focus for anyone who's holding them AND they can replace any specific material components (for example the diamond in a revivify spell), but after being used that way the stones will loose their magic and will become regular gems (sellable for 15 GP) or course you could change that, but it worked really well for us
When she tried to make the nobleman apologize to the captain, she noticed he had Mykul's symbol tattooed on him, and found out about his plan.
After some interrogation, the nobleman had his life taken away from him by Mykul's own hand, who possessed him, made a speech and then made him age unnaturally fast in front of the party (just to intimidate them, and to stop them from getting a lot of info)
This was probably one of my favorite moments in the campaign just yet and I'm really proud of me because this is my first ever campaign and I loved how everything turned out. Thank you for this video, I will definitely be using this info for more neverwinter encounters in the future :D
Also this was a great way to incorporate Myrkul's cult into the story before storm lords wrath so that there's some foreshadowing to their plans :D
That's a great story about how an improvised encounter can turn into an awesome connection for the campaign! Well done :D

Nice! Glad I could help! :)
Amazing resource. Picked it up along side the Neverwinter 4e book from DM Guild.
I still don't understand why Neverwinter is just "there" in D&D 5e, when the fact is that it's one of the most important cities in the lore of Forgotten Realms! So I'm excited to explore more of it!
It's like the last major city to explore, so I'm sure it'll be coming soon! In the meantime, I hope this video and supplement can help :)
@@BobWorldBuilder it helped a lot! Now I'm thinking on how to take my players to find the crown!
@@isaacmandagie2638 That's my next project haha, I'm trying to compile some notes to turn Castle Never into a module :)
@@BobWorldBuilder I'm really looking forward to check that one out as well!
@@isaacmandagie2638 The answer why it is mostly not explain more by D&D in 5e is because the current license is in the hands of Cryptid Studio for Nerverwinter MMORPG. So basically if you want to see and learn more lore about the City, you need to play that game.
Thank you for this! My level 3 players just finished Stormwreck Isle and we're heading to the mainland tomorrow night to start the campaign proper. Just what I needed to get some last minute inspiration. U da best Bob
Sure am glad I bought a new bigger binder. This Neverwinter Supplement will be a great addition to my collection.
And you mentioned Farley :) Can't wait to hear and see more! Hope life is treating you, Grace and your cat well!
Yep! That's the encounter he just seemed to fit so perfectly for! Really looking forward to seeing how the art comes out :) Life is good here, and I hope the same to you, Jaime!
I am starting my first campaign tomorrow after two decades. The video helped. Thanks!
Best of luck! That's going to be awesome!
Lord Alagondar - it's finally here! Sounds great. My party hit the Dragon Barrow before Neverwinter last night so I have another few days to prepare for their Neverwinter visit. They are intent on meeting up with Alfonse Kalazorn from Butterskull Ranch who left his ranch for the city where he is planning on setting up a store to sell his unique butter skulls. Alfonse also promised them some of his horses for saving his life. Which is the main reason they are heading there - but they also want to buy/sell things at stores with larger selection.
That's a great connection! And the 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
Yes, I already purchased it. Keep up the great work.
How about a supplement that names shops and NPCs for the shops? Maybe temples and characters for those as well. Only have seen Taverns as places of interest.
That's helpful. I'm running a sandbox campaign that started with elements of both Lost Mine and Dragon of Icespire, with Neverember being the main villain. I have them in a long side quest to the Underdark where they've discovered the full scope of his conspiracy...because I haven't fleshed out the details for Neverwinter yet. This really helps - thanks!
That’s epic!! Happy to help
SCAG mentions that the chasm has been filled now.
I like the idea of characters coming to Neverwinter in order to try to claim some of the new real-estate that has opened up.
I loved exploring Neverwinter in the MMORPG game and always wanted to run Neverwinter in the DoISP game.
Just picked this up for my campaign extension beyond the dragon of icespire peak adventure. Keep it coming.
Another great video! Those random urban encounters are amazing though!
I'm running for my fiancee and she's never expressed interest in checking out Neverwinter, which I guess means I'm lucky--even though I looked up a good deal of information about it just in case. It's particularly fascinating that Neverember was disgraced and exiled from Waterdeep (Dragon Heist is specifically caused by his legendary embezzlements) and then just moved north and started over.
I added hints at that awkward situation to my game (mostly for myself, haha) by including a pair of betrothed nobles, one from Neverwinter and one from Waterdeep, as guests at Falcon's Lodge. I had them tag along when Falcon led them to the Logger's Camp. I figured when the Ankhegs showed up, one could be put into danger. This way the PC could, at least indirectly, influence the relations between the two rival cities-states (for the better or worse).
Wow, that's a great way to symbolize the "conflict" between the cities! Very nice!
Lord Alagondar! I’m running a bit of a combo LMoP and DoIP so you’re channel has been bardic inspiration!
Woo! Happy to help, and we've hardly gotten into the LMoP videos yet haha
Thank you for tuning in early! The 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
Before the module was made, I had to look this stuff up for Neverwinter. And for the most part, I got everything down. With this new info now, I can have more charactee for Lord and Lady Neverwinter.
Thanks, Tyler! I'm glad this was still able to help!
Thanks! I can't wait to use this! I'm running Dragon of Icespire Peak in the homebrew setting I'm trying to create, and this is great inspiration for the city I'm using in place of Neverwinter. Great work, keep it up!
Perfect! Happy to help!
Brought. Your videos help me a lot running DOIP.
Glad I found this out in time my campaign derail so hard before reaching Divine Contention. They must enter Neverwinter next weekend. If not for this I never knew the castel rebuild. Which can be a big problems later.
Just in time! I’m glad it will come in handy for your group :D
thanks for this! the players Im DMing for completly took me offguard by wanting to go to neverwinter and I had no idea what to do for the session. Thanks!
Haha, you and many other DMs! Happy to help :)
This is so perfect, thank you ! I'm glad I found your channel!
Welcome! Glad you like it!
I hadn't watched your videos in the last few months (sadly). I came back for Rime of the Frost Maiden.
My group is about to finish Dragon Heist and have decided to connect it to Rime of the Frost Maiden. I thought it would be fun to make one of the PCs be the descendent of the royal family of Neverwinter to bring an interesting dynamic with Renaer.
Now that I've watched this video I'm filled with ideas of a Neverwinter ending where the PC claims his or hers birth right.
Thanks for all the great videos.
Happy to help-- and to have you back!
Wish I'd had this available when I was running my group through Dragon of Ice Spire Peak. Substituted in Freeport - Lord Alagondar
Now Neverwinter can be subbed in for another city! The giveaway copies have already been claimed, but I appreciate your interest! :D
Real ones know him as Lord Nasher haha👌
Awesome Bob! Bought a copy right away. Keep up the good work :D
I really appreciate that! Thank you for the support :)
Thank you! Trying to come up with my groups story after Icespire peak. Whatever it is will 100% lead to the neverneath at some point.
In Icespire, I just made it so reconstruction has only just started on Neverwinter and a garrison is positioned on the outskirts at a small settlement. Purely a military base but welcoming to travelers seeking shelter. Even has a shop and I weaved some backstory npc's into it. They didn't wander into the ruins but if they did I had a super simple encounter with some low level monsters and loot prepared.
Glad to see this! Very exciting
Thanks! And I love your profile picture! haha
youre a legend bob my party is on their way and i was stumped.
Glad I could help! :)
Omg thank you so much for this. My players were like "Let's go there!'
Me..... "Ummmmm...."
Began planning to run LMOP and TDOIP combined, with not a lot of info on Neverwinter, I decided to make the Eruption of Mt. Hotenow have happened 3 months ago.
The mines and Phandalin are booming because of the refugee population and need for materials to rebuild the destroyed city which is under martial law.
A steward from high ranking nobility has taken power over the city since the destruction of the royal residence and presumed death of the royal family.
Now that rescue is done and they have begun rebuilding the city; entry is restricted to authorized construction personnel.
The Rockseeker Brothers helped with rescue/rebuild during the day and spent nights looking for evidence regarding a family story about once owning a magic mine, in the ruins of city hall of records, libraries, and the college geology and history departments.
Many Drow escaped the underdark via the new chasm (which destroyed a drow settlement far beneath the city when it formed) in the south eastern section of the city (including the Black Spider?)
The Eruption made a few surviving dragons that called Mt. Hotenow home, flee to the surrounding areas of Neverwinter Wood and the Sword Mountains.
The Eruption displaced Many mountain Orcs as did the Dragons taking over the Sword Mountains, they gathered in Neverwinter wood and some came together under King Grol to become the Cragmaws, some formed a cult, but both see an opportunity to claim power in the region as the destruction of Neverwinter has disrupted the military stationed there that patrolled the surrounding area, high road, Triboar Trail and small towns nearby.
That is excellent!! Great plan 👏👏
Dude I wrote a similar home brew script involving the true neverwinter heir and a super fancy vault. Btw awesome random encounters you made for this. You are the man
Hmmm might reach out to you about your homebrew notes! Idk when I'll have the time, but I want to write a module about the castle!!
Hit me up anytime brother
I just finished running my wife’s party through LMoP and DoIP. Now, on behalf of the Emerald Enclave, Reidoth has hired “the Negotiators” to locate a couple of druids (twin sisters) that have gone missing in Icewind Dale. He will accompany them as far as Neverwinter, sharing history about the Northern Sword Coast along the way. By the time they have reached Bryn Shander, they will have been exposed to some interesting background lore that might prove useful in their next adventure. Now, if only I had a concise, well-composed guide to urban encounters they may have while they are in Neverwinter ;O)
That's great! Glad you found this guide! :)
@@BobWorldBuilder Assuming that they survive Auril's wrath, they'll end up back in Bryn Shander just in time for a Frost Giant attack and away he go into Ch.2 of SKT. Damn, I love this game! :0)
Kudos to you for putting all of that together! :)
thank you so much for making this... it is just what i was looking for. keep up the good work.
Awesome! Happy to help :)
Perfect timing for me! Thank you!
Awesome! You’re welcome!
I'm currently running DoIP for my friends, who are mostly new to D&D, but when I learned the module didn't have any information about the biggest city smack dab in the middle of the map of the sword coast, I was floored. This is going to be so helpful when my party eventually chooses to go to Neverwinter. Lord Alagondar!
Congrats Andy! Please send an email to bobworldbuilder@gmail.com (Ideally with an email address that includes your name here)
And same! Honestly, the map shows wayyy to much. The adventure only takes place in the bottom half!
Lord Alagondar
Love it.
Working on a Module for the game NWN and your info has inspire me 😁👍
As I look to direct my party northwards, for RotFM, I could really benefit from info about Neverwinter. That's when YT and vids like this, come into play.
This looks amazing. Will definitely get! I recently wrote a Silverymoon college-themed adventure for my daughter. I can send you a free copy if you’re interested?
Lord Alagondar! Did I win? Ohhh drats. I’ll get back to my channel. I’ll try harder next time! Loving your channel!
Haha, thank you! :)
Excellent job 👌. I love this kind of content
Great video! I got the Neverwinter campaign from 4e but never really got to use it. I think I might bring it back sometime. Enjoying your videos so far!
I have yet to actually read through that as well :P Glad your enjoying the videos!
@@BobWorldBuilder I've been running through it, 4e, for some time now and this could have been useful when I started--long enough ago I'm not going to say. :P Oh, well. Still of use now, though, as they are using Neverwinter as a home base.
Def read it, lots of lore. Although you really need to play the Neverwinter MMO to get the whole story.
In the campaign I am playing in right now it’s taking place in icewindale where we are trying to help people with the end goal lifting the curse(or i think). Our DM gives every character a secret and mine is that I am the last of the royal family for neverwinter and I guess that means I could be king. So wanted to look up more about neverwinter! Just in case
Congrats on the Best Seller metal! Well deserved ^_^
Thank you! :)
Great video as always, will be useful if my players go to Neverwinter. Lord Alagandar!
I appreciate that! Thank you for tuning in early! The 3 winning copies have already been claimed, but the supplement is available on DMs Guild through the link in the pinned comment and the description for only $2.95!
When I ran Phandelver, my players said they hated this town and wanted to go back to Neverwinter (shrugs). I let them go there, they looked at the shops (found out that there's no shop of +1 equipment), then I reigned them back in with their plot objective.
Haha, well there can be a shop of +1 stuff if you want! In two weeks I have a video coming about magic items and how to make just that sort of thing interesting!
I'm actually weaving my own D&D Campaign, weaving 4th edition Neverwinter Adventures as a prequel to LMOP, DOIP, into Tyranny of Dragons. The party is a covert ops force under command of one of the Masked Lords of Waterdeep. Primarily to spy on and undermine Lord Protector Nevermember (a keep your friends close, your enemies closer thing), also make contact with the Sons of Alagondar, to unify them and form a support network.
It is known to the Lords Alliance that Neverember has his own autocratic/imperialist goals. The Lords Alliance is not yet ready to pull the plug on Neverember because of his popularity. They want to keep him more of a puppet (lesser of two evils). The party is to work to get in Neverember's good graces (but covertly work against him with the rebel groups). The party will also encounter The Cult of the Dragon & Red Wizards and begin to gather early clues as to what they are up to in Neverwinter. Rather than just have information fed to them in HoTDQ & RoT, they will build their knowledge over time through all of the modules prior to HoTDQ. So when the first formal Councilmeeting is held, they can report.
I love the City of NeverWinter. It creates so much opportunity to add more geo-political intrigue, covert operations, political strategy to my Campaign. Almost a cold war scenario between WaterDeep an Neverwinter. The Lord's Alliance will want to keep Neverwinter in it's orbit and not see Neverwinter under Neverember create it's own empire.
This is to better have a reason that Rockseeker Mining Company to seek out the adventurers to lead into my whole LMOP ->- DOIP - Storm Lord's Wrath - Sleeping Dragon's Wake - Tyranny of Dragons. I hope to create an immersive campaign. Anyway, wish me luck.
I'm about to run a game here ...i didn't even use the 5e stuff theres a whole campaign guide for 4e full of all types of wonderful lore and much more
Yeah, maybe that’s why WotC has waited so long to really produce anything about Neverwinter, but I’m sure it will come soon! I still have to check out that setting book for myself
Very smart video topic.
Thank you, Fred!
Perfect timing for my game! Thanks, BWB. Luskan next? 🤠
My pleasure, Tim! Well, Luskan between Neverwinter and Icewind Dale... I might have to check it out!
My PCs have just finished Dragon of Icespire Peak, and want to visit Neverwinter (fortunately, they delayed going there until the dragon was taken care of). I've known they wanted to go there for some time, so I have prepared a _long_ document that includes quests, NPCs, shops, taverns, notable locations, etc., all tailored to our campaign and character backstories. But I would've found it harder without Bob's _Urban Encounters for Neverwinter_ which I've used as an inspiration for many of the starting points of quests I've planned. So, thank you Bob! Oh, and if anyone is interested, I'm happy to share any details of my Neverwinter City plans that could be translated to other DM's campaigns. Just let me know!
Awesome! Totally going to use this :)
Sweet! Thank you!
Appreciate your work.
Im running an adventure with a sort of DLC event where the supply lines of phandalin are wrecked and the zhentarim and an OC faction have joined forces to take control of the overworlds economy while exerting rule with status and material power the others find hard to come by at this point in time. Neverwinter is the helm of this topic and ive spent a good 1 or 2 sessions with my party on the high road clearing bandits off the trail just way putting the description of neverwinter off..
There is a 4th Ed. Campaign setting with tons of lore about never winter and the region.
I know it''s pretty common to use random fantasy art images for D&D purposes, I do it all the time so no judgement here. It is kind of funny though when you accidently choose a conflicting image though.
The image you choose for Waylen the priest of Oghma is the official character art for Laeral Silverhand. One of the Seven Sisters, Chosen of Mystra, Partner of Khelben Arunson (Blackstaff), and I believe at this time in the late 15th century the current Open Lord of Waterdeep. She's kind of a big deal lol.
Thanks bob!
My pleasure!
Bought your PDF, thanks man ;-)
Thank you!! :)
Yes please.
Bob, how does this resource not have any reviews on DMs Guild? I'd have thought with a silver rating you'd have had a bunch of satisfied customers singing your praises there - just like you do in your videos. Are reviews/comments something you can enable (or not) when you post resources to DMs Guild?
Haha, they're enabled! Reviews are just honestly kinda rare on DMs Guild :P
I remember the Shining Serpent and The Moonstone Mask from the old Neverwinter Nights game. Were the Beggar's Nest and Prison districts destroyed by the chasm? Also I want to make a Wizard of Ooze NPC now. :)
I'm not exactly sure. While the games are apparently considered D&D canon, I found some conflicting info online and decided to omit things that weren't mentioned in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide. And that's awesome! Haha, you can use my ooze people from the homebrew races video!
Now I'll actually be prepared for my party's inevitable trip to Neverwinter 😅
Impossible
Happy to help! :D
this was useful for me till 3 minutes in, cause i run a campaign in 1451
Pretty cool
Thank you! And thanks for commenting!
@@BobWorldBuilder ohh yes. My players just got to Neverwinter and they really liked all the cultural touches and details. I haven't seen them this excited since a major plot point. Thanks again.
Great video as always. Neverwinter is indeed really not explained in de modules.....
Thanks! Yeah, this guide has been requested since the beginning of the series!
"Robed elf with a gleaming smile"
*Shows image of Laeral Silverhand, ruler of Waterdeep*
Hah, it seems your art in the video for a "robed elf" is of Laeral Silverhand, current Open Lord of Waterdeep :)
shhhhh 🤫
My character in my group's Curse of Strahd campaign is the heir to Neverwinter and has been trying to make an alliance with Barovia. Unfortunately things went south and now the Count wants Zelda dead but is frustrated that she keeps surviving encounters and coming back from the dead. Additionally she is traveling with Alexander Von Roeyen (Zarovich), Strahd's second and youngest brother. Strahd is not going to like it once he finds out Zelda and Alexander are close friends and planning on making Alexander king once we defeat Strahd. This is seriously turning into a Game of Thrones power play between Strahd and the party.
Gather your party and venture forth!
There is an official wotc 5e adventure that goes to Neverwinter as the castle is being restored. The quest involves tax evasion to get around the high taxes that are being used to repair the castle. It involves the "holes", intact prisons under the ruins of the castle and the Halls of Knowledge.
This is the Acquisitions Incorporated supplement (2019)?
@@jamesa8619 Yes, there is a level 1-7 adventure in there that no one talks about.
o.o who...did that map...why are the 2 openings to the sea not walled off...

Lord Alagondar :D
I'm dming waterdeep dragonheist and dagult neverember does not sound like fit leader😐
He definitely has some issues :P
Most leader rarely fit for more than, like, 1 week
Could not have come at a better time. Party just finished DoIP over the holiday weekend. And ended up smashing the dragon in phandalin because of a random roll encounter. Now guess what?... The hermit in the party has a discovery. And it ended up sending them toward neverwinter just as the session ends. Thanks for helping mr save the next session Bob
I'm glad this came just at the right time! :D Good luck with the city!!
There is a adventure in 4e about finding the crown
Do you know the name? I’d love to check it out!
I am officially a victim of my own success. After homebrewing Neverwinter, and evidently making it too interesting, my players don't want to stay in Leilon or go back to Phandalin, they just want to keep going back to Neverwinter. So a tip for other DMs whose players want to head to Neverwinter: make it interesting, but not _too_ interesting!
Phandalin is a little quiet for me, I'm more of a neverwinter cat 🐱

Sooo... this 'supplement' has ONE page of Neverwinter history in it, the rest is generic city adventure ?
And you're - at least in this video - completely ignoring the elephant in the room... the friggin chasm that's made Neverwinter practically uninhabitable after the catastrophy ?!
They built a wall around that to protect them from what's coming from there. Well, it's sealed now. So it's just a hole, right ?
But hey. Neverwinter got inns and grafitti.
Exactly! This supplement is titled “Urban Encounters for Neverwinter,” and it’s purpose stated in the doc is to provide fun encounters for the city.
The lore summary mostly excludes the chasm because it has been sealed for decades and is no longer relevant to Neverwintans or adventurers coming here on a brief trip from Phandalin.
Hopefully that clears up any misconceptions about the supplement :)
@@BobWorldBuilder I disagree! Having read somewhere that the chasm was concreted over and that people don't really want to live on top of it anymore gave me two great ideas for it!
The first idea is that the entire district around the chasm is the "poor quarter", only those desparate enough will buy/rent a house on top of/around the chasm district, potentially even leaving room for an unscrupulous landlord plot device. Some conniving Lord that wants to buy up all the property around the chasm.
The second idea was to lean into Lord Neverembers drive to revilatise the North - have the chasm be the cities huuuge marketplace ala Waukeens Promenade from BG 2.
o
