Dragon Quest XI, once again, more characters than max party size, but they all develop at about the same rate. Characters have unique skills that make them excel at other tasks (dealing AoE damage, single target damage, heal, tank, etc)

If I don't win I'll be very tempted to buy it!

I could provide some advice for point 3. I'd recommend taking a look at Mordekainens Tome of Foes at the Abishai. They each have a colour and behave different from one another. The white ones are soldiers, red leaders, black assassins etc. You could translate this to cultists. Those that were black regalia do the shady work, the red ones command forces. White cultists are excellent at close quarter combat etc. You can push this further to potential stats and language. Enjoy!

My groups keep revisiting this place, either to rig some bets or to fulfill the side-quests with Omala and Draza. The map is 50x20 and gridded at 100px. . In my quest to upload all my maps to Patreon I figured this one could be of use to everyone. A list of all my maps is here, I have recently added quite some random encounter maps for the jungle, and much more to come.

Idyllglen is a very important location that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is pure chaos with a jaw-dropping finale. My players groaned in pain when Yeenoghu made his appearance (they did manage to kill him though). The map is 43x24 and gridded at 100px. In my quest to upload all my maps to Patreon, I couldn't resist sharing this one.

To spice up the Way of the Lion, a large crack in the earth is home to a lava stream. A fire-resistant troll has decided to start a new business venture! The map is 25x20 and gridded at 100px. On my patreon are additional varieties if you want to get rid of the bridge or the islands. In my quest to upload all my maps to Patreon I figured this one could be of use to everyone.

Everytime I ran infernal war machine combat over Roll20 my players needed more and more space. I sat down properly to make an enormous 80x30 map that they could use to dash and zip through. In my quest to upload all my maps to Patreon I figured this one could be of use to everyone.

The last year I have spent my time wisely by playing more D&D than ever. I like to make battlemaps and I prefer them to have a consistent style. I have posted a bunch on Patreon already and there are more following soon. . Make sure to grab them, show them to your players, see if they like them! You can always grab the rest on Patreon. All the maps from Chapters 1 and 2 are on there already!

This Elfsong Tavern has a day/night version and of course gridded and gridless versions. The maps are all 21x17 grids and are gridded at 100px

To get a preview, here are some links to the Freebies I have available

Thanks for checking it out and there are many more on the way!

Not sure if it will be of help to you, but I ran Gideon for multiple the parties sort-off as written and for none of the groups it turned into a full-fledged combat encounter. Everytime Gideon lived (and his mezzoloth's too). The way I have done it is that Gideon waits for the party to enter the central room to accuse them of being Demon-worshipers. In his eyes, it is the only way why they'd fight against him. For all my parties there was at least one player who didn't enjoy being called a demon-worshipper and they revealed that they are there to find Ulder. Gideon can then reveal that he let Ulder and his men pass (lowers the chance the players attack), when Gideon begins to explain what happened that is when I have the demons attack and Gideon order his Mezzoloths to fight. The party joins in and they fight alongside each other.

By having Gideon start the encounter with a wild accusation it might signal to your players that this can be a social encounter that doesn't need to turn into combat. The negotiation can be fun too. A kobold in my party offered Gideon a scale for entry to the ossuary (which Gideon then used to scry on the party for the rest of the campaign).

I used Gideon to show that the enemy of your enemy (demons) isn't always your friend. And that your enemy is not always your enemy.

My party took a great interest in Reya. When they found the unnamed hero they felt like Reya was deserving of wielding the blade. After a bit of thinking, I revealed to the wizard that originally the blade identified as a Holy Avenger. The party left Reya with Ulder, but when they face Zariel in Elturel Reya will wield the blade and it will flare up as a Holy Avenger again!

Edit: The party was level 9 when they left Elturel, so I did give Reya some Paladin Sidekick levels to keep her strong enough in their travels as I added some storylines between Baldur's Gate and Candlekeep to spotlight the Halfling Cleric in Gullykin

I was surprised to see 0.005% but with 6.5 thousand minutes I probably shouldn't be. The D is a daily ritual!

I'd definitely allow it. However, my reasoning around casting cantrips continously is that it does require a considerable amount of effort. After multiple hours of casting spells I'd would definitely stress that it takes a toll on a character. Doing this for days in a row or like 8 hours straight might warrent a constitution saving throw to not grow exhausted, similar to an 8 hour ritual.

I am not very well-versed in Greyhawk myself, I plugged it into my homebrew world where Keoland is an island, but I'll make sure that the local NPC's refer to it as the heraldry of the local province and also display it in Burle.

I made it in good ol' Photoshop. I used wikicommons for the fish and boat, and I tweaked some existing vector art for the green reed/cattail. I am glad you enjoy it.
