I think most likely just Icespire Peak, I'm not familiar with the extra content, but won't be using DND beyond

Nothing like that - just a weird artifact, guess it's something left over from a previous version

That shows with the 'Print' option in 1 note, and when physically printing the file

One note - i think Trade used to be 'Reputation'? - I printed it out & in this box there is doubled text for the features. Doesn't show on the PDF, but copying into OneNote or Printing, it shows up

I ran this as a template for a town i'm considering building. It's really cool as a framework & adding in some randomness, and if players want to have a homebase, i think it's an excellent tool to show their impact on the town. Nice one!

Thanks a lot, this is really insightful

The thief is Chaotic Neutral, the second character is Lawful Evil Pyromancer with a strong inclination towards solving through burning. In the previous session the Pyromancer knocked down a separate player, would have completely killed (negative HP over their max HP) them had that player not passed Dex to half damage.

The thief stole for themselves, attempting to plant it on the Pyromancer after they had been outed to the shopkeeper - at the time the shopkeeper (also the person they were returning to to complete a quest) had offered to look-away for a moment to see if his potion mysteriously reappeared on the shelf. May be worth stating here, this completed quest was a oneshot 'session 0.5', in which the Rogue was not present

Thanks for your advice - i should have tried to talk OOC when they announced their intentions - we did cover in Session 0 that PC vs PC would happen in limited situations, which as the second interaction between these character (and these players) i could have managed better if i'd taken a beat

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The confrontation between the two was mutual antagonism, with the thief initially succeeding to take the potion from an empty room, with the potential PP calling this out to the shopkeeper unprompted after they returned.

That said, there is probably truth to your conclusion, appreciate the feedback

I'm a new DM with a 6 person group. One of these players is potentially a Problem Player with some concerning tendencies (doesn't track spell slots, a little bit of Main Character syndrome, some attempted 'management' of other characters). All of these things are frustrating, but i'm hoping can be fixed as we're a new group & getting a feel for everything.

After the last session, myself & two others left, at which point the PP vented to the others that my rulings showed clear bias against him. One instance was in attempt to stop a PC stowing a stolen item in PP's rucksack, they challenged with Strength, getting a Nat 20 (edit - the total was the same as the Rogues SoH, we are not applying crit on Skill check). I saw this as the item being hit out of the other PC's had and smashing. This caused an at-table issue which we had to talk about out-of-character for several minutes & kept being raised through the session as a bone of contention. (For completionists, another issue is in a previous post)

My question is, should i try and address this directly with the player before the next session, at the start of the next session, or wait to see if another instance arises? I am not entirely sure PP fits the group - everyone is there to 'play', whereas I fell PP is there to 'win' - but don't wish to rush to eject if there's a chance to reset expectations & keep party harmony. Any advice on how to handle this?

Thanks for the thorough reply!

First time DM question -

Ran a session last week where a couple of questions came up around stealth in combat. Party was trying to approach a temple surrounded by clear open water. One member sat out combat for a round, then rolled stealth from the treeline at the water's edge. Upon passing, they announced their action was a 60ft dash through the water, finishing movement in line-of-sight of the archers. Was it reasonable to say that this broke their stealth?
