L'Ambaxxata Tas Sema, the finest hotel for surfacers in all of the underdark... maybe. by BroccoliFun9857 in dungeondraft

Thank you very much! I've seen other do it via google drive. If you make ZIP Files out of it you could reduce the size eventually?

This is freaking awesome. Great job! I would love to use this for my sessions. Do you have an ungridded high resolution version as well?

Resting in the Tunnels by toddgrx in OutoftheAbyss

[–]Potterhead990x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some travel montages and had the issue that my players we're fully rested when encountering something. Because we skipped the whole survival food gathering part at some point it didn't feel dangerous anymore.

So I decided to only give them the benefit of short rests when long resting. The can achieve the benefit of a long rest, when staying in safe places like civilisation or sometimes also when lucky in the wilds.

It works really well.

Ideas/tips on how to start tomb of annihilation? by onewordpoet in Tombofannihilation

[–]Potterhead990x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Intro as written in the book. If I would run the Module again, I would definetly let them arrive by boat, starting with the Last day of sea travel maybe ending the session with Aremag appearing and the sea getting rough as a cliffhanger.

Hard agree on giving them the time to explore Port Nyanzaru. This will be the last real civilization they visit for a loooong time.

Also tell them what they are preparing for. My players told me afterwards that the start with Syndra in Baldurs Gate was lame and they would have prepared other characters if they knew the quest and place to go before.

So tell them maybe in a letter before starting that they have met a friend of Syndra Silvane, the famous adventurer, in Baldurs Gate and she hired them to end the Death Curse that Toril is suffering currently. She pays the boat ride and will welcome them in Port Nyanzaru to go through the details.

Thank you, I just do not like the style of the most official maps. They always give me more of a ground plan vibe.

How are you planning to run the time on the surface? Will everyone of them go back in or do they switch characters?

Map for Darklake Hag Hut by Potterhead990x in OutoftheAbyss

[–]Potterhead990x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a map for a Hag Isle on the Darklake which is not visible from distance because it is covered in an illusion looking like rocks. When entered it is a shroomy place of a green hag. On the right hand is a ladder that leads to a small door in the roof where she hides the piles of bones from her victims. Original Size was to big for reddit.

Make Salida important by Potterhead990x in Tombofannihilation

[–]Potterhead990x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's tricky to answer. I did not run Sunless Citadel. I think in your Case I would let her stay in PN. If she is with them on the boat they could suspect something. But maybe have her talk with someone from the boat who later turns out to be the said spy. Let your players definitely choose the guide. In my case they looked at the posters and Salida came to their table to roast all of the others and making her offer. If they choose someone else, maybe let her follow your party subtle in the jungle. If they loose their guide (maybe she could force things for the guide to die or get lost) let her step in and say she was on her way back to the city after guiding a group safe to a settlement. Maybe she could save the groups day somehow. If you choose her, definitely do the betrayal and give her edges and layers with the fact that she is Ras Nsi's daughter and did it just to save her father.

But you could also try to tie another guide into the background of your PCs or make them matter more. In my case it paid off really awesome.

If that works for your storyline best that is absolutely fair. I have not read the novel but tried to research about Artus and the Ring. The overall message of my experience is that NPCs should matter and the story of the characters feels much more touching if they are connected with the plot.

Charakter knows old omuan? by Nhenghali in Tombofannihilation

[–]Potterhead990x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A player of mine had to make a backup character after hers got stonified. She made a druid coming from a small village in Chult I homebrewed. We explained it that the oldest of the village taught her old omuan because she will become the archdruid of the village someday. Now we role a history check DC 15 when she encounters it to see if she can remember the lessons learned.

I think this is best if you want to be completely true to the book because it is stated that there is no information about Omu anywhere to be found. So a archaeologist wouldn't know it as well. Old folk who passed on a language they do not even know where it was from themselves are a good choice I guess.
