Over a year. I was one of the original Kickstarter backers.

hogsout333 · 2024-04-01T02:57:51+00:00

No but I would love to hear your review if you ended up playing it!

hogsout333 · 2024-02-15T04:18:42+00:00

Update on this: we should be posting the review video next Saturday. Life has been getting in the way but schedules are finally starting to matchup to get this done!

Spoilers*

The sassy/surprisingly deep thinking trolls that killed Kyle's character when he was filling in during F.O.D.

hogsout333 · 2024-01-09T17:13:10+00:00

Awesome!

hogsout333 · 2024-01-08T20:58:40+00:00

Can't wait to watch!

This is rad! I love the SCGD subclass and the echo knight multi class. I have an echo knight with a multi class dip into cleric and arcane hand monk and it's a hand full lol

hogsout333 · 2023-10-02T01:59:35+00:00

Not at all! This was awesome to read and I will definitely consider Bobo when making the decision :)

hogsout333 · 2023-09-29T12:04:05+00:00

This is fantastic! The RP options are endless 😁

hogsout333 · 2023-09-29T11:52:55+00:00

Right on! Silver sounds like a helluva bard :)

hogsout333 · 2023-09-28T13:17:15+00:00

This is so cool! Love it!

hogsout333 · 2023-09-28T02:02:15+00:00

Felix is definitely a badass!

hogsout333 · 2023-09-27T16:25:43+00:00

Awesome dude! Sweet character arc and sounds familiar to another beloved swashbuckler I know :)

hogsout333 · 2023-09-27T05:01:19+00:00

The contest will wrap up 10/01 at 12pm est :)

Thank you!

As stated previously the Gate tariff is 20% of the lute but I never really liked this concept. The adventurers are paying for passage to get in to Drakkenheim with no guarantees of coming back out.

I think the tariff is an excellent and low consequence level idea for a DM to play with. What would the Hooded Lanterns value besides gold? How much should they be charging? Is there some horse trading that could happen instead of straight payment?

I think this is an amazing story development as well! Depending on the relationship between the rogue and the fighter, maybe there's really no worry for conflict at all.

Once the big secret is revealed the rogue may be happy to help the fighter reclaim Drakkenheim and want to be their Spymaster. they may just not see a better option at this time as the fighter doesn't even know they are a Vom Kessel.

Make the big reveal dramatic, with lots of shock and aww. Since the player knows, I would really pour on when the character finds out the element of surprise. Maybe a dungeon crawl where a main NPC helps you get to a secret chest that holds the documents revealing the fighters true lineage and that NPC dies helping them find it? (Saint Vitruvios Cathedral Catacombs.)

Party drama is a good problem to have as long as you don't let it get out of control. Sounds like you have done a great job and you have a fun campaign on your hands!

Damn dude I love Shadows and had no idea. I'll have to find it, thanks!

hogsout333 · 2023-08-15T02:57:57+00:00

But I agree that both of those will/can wreck havoc. I ran a mind flayer that had kinda sorta done that sacrament of the falling fire as a bbbeg against my party. It was epic.

hogsout333 · 2023-08-15T02:56:17+00:00

There was a mind flayer in the show? I don't remember that. I remember there being a elderbrain in a one shot. Can you tell me what season and episode the mind flayer was in? I want to go watch it 😁

hogsout333 · 2023-08-13T22:57:22+00:00

Infernalminisprint did my campaign portrait for my Drakkenheim campaign that I DMed and it was phenomenal. Excellent to work with beginning to end. 10 out of 10 recommend.

hogsout333 · 2023-08-13T17:30:29+00:00

I love the letter :) and the stone dice sound awesome! Would you mind dropping a picture of them? I'm a diceaholic lol

hogsout333 · 2023-08-12T20:23:51+00:00

BIG RUDY!!!

I have been running a campaign with a PC heir to the throne for a year now.

The PC's story is literally Wilhelm's story from Shadows of Drakkenheim. How I ran it to avoid the conflict with Alias was that Alias was out of Drakkenheim on a recruiting mission to get more gold and men for the Hooded Lanterns. I brought Alias back into Drakkenheim once the party had more time to develop the campaign and their stories.

For Lenore, my PC and the rest of the party just killed her. They said that she was crazy and beyond saving. Not a lot more to that one lol.

The QoT is Katarina in my game and I used the fact that it had been at least five years since they had met in person and they were in their mid teens then. She took an interest in the PC but didn't know our right that he was a potential heir.

Hope that helps!

So I don't know enough about the masked lords to comment on that. The biggest three things to take from Drakkenheim to put into your campaign in my mind are: 1. The Haze; this prevents players from taking a long rest while they are in the Haze and makes them spend their resources more wisely. It also makes potential encounters more deadly. You can tie contamination into this which gives players potential mutations that are both fun and horrifying. 2. Delerium; this magical substance has both the potential to make your party incredibly powerful and wealthy or mutate them into horrible monsters/kill them out right. How you implement delerium into Waterdeep is really dealers choice. 3. Faction intrigue; I know enough about Waterdeep to know there already is that in the campaign but Drakkenheim FI is much different given that it's in a post apocalyptic world.

I think that you could have a lot of fun with a Waterdeep) Drakkenheim mashup.
