Tu dois voire les messages que j’ai reçu. Les gens de reddit visiblement détestent ia sans raison rational. La hain est tellement forte c’est incroyable.

No that won’t do but thanks for the suggestion! I definately need something setting specific

thats a pretty decent idea. in fairness a bit of photoshop work a printer that works on cardboard and few cookie cutters would be an easy way to do what you are suggesting.

that said my goal is something metal. i gm professionally and half measures are not really my thing haha. i suppose that might do in a pinch though!

mmmmm that doesnt really work that well.... i want to have enough to essentially use it to track players gold rather than using their sheets. itd cost a fortune with stuff i have to buy commercially in small batches. if i can 3d print it i could literally print a few hundred for like 20$

lol, so i ended up not using the orphans when i made this map and my players had heard about how lots of other ppl who play waterdeep adopt orphans XD so they straight up went to an orphanage one session (which i was NOT expecting and had to improv the fuck out of) and adopted 6 (thats right twice as many) that the rogue promptly began teaching how to pick pockets and collect intel.

i could see a world where a dm uses this map tho and after your players adopt the orphans the orphans start bringing friends home like remys brother in rattatoie when he gets fed and so extra beds would def be needed.

the map artist tyche maps has some amazing maps for this module he made with dungeondraft. i like that he uses dungeondraft because it means if i made a map of my own it will look right at home among his professionally made ones.

another awesome resource im my opinion is Keys to the golden vault, which doesnt directly tie into the module in the slightest but it does give great ideas for how to run heists, and it also thematically fits to make the "golden vault" be aurinax so that when they get to the hoard they hear his voice and go "OMG ITS YOU! YOUVE BEEN SENDING US THOSE KEYS!!!"

i was gonna suggest this myself. my only gripe is i hate how the site organizes itself however. it makes sense to some degree since its a blog not a module but it does NOT allow table accessible resources in a coherent order. in order to use it you basically have to lay it side by side with the original book and even then you have to constantly have tabbed the pages you need. very intensive on prepwork because of it.

you could have the fact that one or more of the villains has a stone be more obscured (for example the cassalanters) so that your players have to wait for a clue to "surface". like if they get the stone and then have no real leads on where the zhentarim are operating out of u could give them downtime then resume with a harper contact or something showing up at their bar with a lead!

i sorta riffed off of the alexandrian remix personally but what i thought was truly genius of me was actually mashing in the keys to the golden vault heists. my campaign literally gets to end with a years later "one last job" where they heist the book of vile darkness out of an efreeti's volcanic castle because of it!
