This short Dungeons & Dragons adventure is written to suit four to six characters of 10th level. With this text and the core D&D manuals, you have everything you need to play. You may find the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide of additional use for its coverage of the High Moors of Faerûn—the chilly, grassy highlands where this adventure is set.

One power-hungry wizard’s search for an arcane and dangerous artifact has finally come to an end. He has found his prize. And so new troubles begin. With his newfound power, this villainous wizard promises to conjure castles for cold-hearted mercenaries and wayward armies who pledge fealty to him. These are the early days of a plan to wage war on the Sword Coast, and it falls to the characters to fight the wizard behind it before he musters an army around the artifact he pulled from the cyan depths of Highstar Lake.

The final episode of our #MTGDND story is here!

Will your party defeat the villainous, wizard Tyreus
before he musters an army to wage war on the Sword Coast?

Q4: Two weeks ago we discussed worldbuilding. Which Dungeons and Dragons world settings do you enjoy, and what features make them stand out? I enjoy all of those, and have worked on/in them all. I'll admit to being most partial to my own creation, the Realms, but was in with Jeff at the advent of Spelljammer, worked on Ravenloft before it got published, too, and did a LOT of rules writing for 2nd ed.#SciFiChat

Any opinion on Eberron? I’m guessing you didn’t have much to with it. Heh. I'm enjoined to silence, but let's just say Peter Archer and I had some fun talks about what sort of setting we wanted to see, that wouldn't be a "Realms copy," and by an astonishing coincidence, the winning setting ticked all of the boxes we agreed upon.#SciFiChat

I knew (vaguely) about the contest, but I didn’t know you had a hand in deciding the winner. Oh, not in deciding the winner; I saw no entries. What I had a hand in was defining what sort of setting would most enhance the TSR lineup, to augment the worlds they had going.#SciFiChat

What is your best writing tip or hack? #amwriting

“Just do it” or “just write” is great writing advice, but it sure helps to know what you want to write first. Get the idea, soak in it, then just do it. But getting into a habit of writing every day (with necessary breaks) will help with the quick transitions from idea to writing to idea.

Write.

Corollary to that: Go nonlinear whenever you need to. Write out of order by design. Can’t figure out the start of a scene? Write the ending first. You’re feeling the dialogue but can’t see the visuals? Write all the dialogue first, then write the visuals, then stitch together.

Did anyone dislike either roleplaying, combat, or dungeon exploration when you started, and then have a moment where you started to see the appeal? I used to be deeply frustrated by dungeon exploration, because I felt it frequently led to tedious, repetitive gameplay. Once I started using a virtual tabletop for maps, and streamlined certain aspects of moving from room to room, it became much more exciting for me and players.

I recently adapted the map of Sunless Citadel into a much higher-level dungeon for my own campaign. Each dungeon level is the perfect size for a ~2 session, self-directed exploration. Having a specific goal to achieve but only a vague knowledge of WHERE to go helps. On the other hand, starting off not knowing where to go and then learning where your objective is located about halfway through the dungeon can really give your dungeon a shot of adrenaline as exploration turns into slog.

I’ve met convention players who said they disliked RP, but it was that they didn’t want to feel exposed. When I presented them with simple fun situations they could handle, such as a dragon issuing them a challenge, they excitedly responded.
