@TheEdVerse do you have a great riddle that fit a great green dragon ? 🙂

— DM ANDY (@dinosaur1945) December 27, 2018

1/10) Okay, here we go.
The key thing about Old Gnawbone is that she loves the company of humans; the bustle of city life, the energy, the strivings, the intrigues. She likes befriending them, establishing alliances and ties, …#Realmslore https://t.co/m2aJJzNDtM

2/10) …using her human gang to manipulate events and make money (that she doesn’t really care about; she has more wealth than she’ll ever need and doesn’t mind losing or spending it; for her coins are like poker chips, proving… 3/10) …her ongoing victories (besting others). She likes helping the lowly and needy, and tearing down those in power (like nobles, the Brokengulfs of Waterdeep being one example). She both fears and likes adventurers, …#Realmslore

4/10) …following them like an avid sports fan, and refraining from swindling them where she wouldn’t hesitate taking advantage of a noble or rich Waterdhavian merchant or guildmaster. She ALWAYS thinks about her relationships with… 5/10) …humans, before all else, and how what she does/what’s about to happen will affect them. I don’t mean she wants to be loved or needs approval, I mean she will act and speak in order to make particular humans trust her…#Realmslore

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 27, 2018

…more, fear her more, shun her more, want to work with her more, or whatever she’s after (in other words, as DM, use what you know of your players personally to manipulate them). Claugiyliamatar can be polite, friendly, … 7/10) …even flirtatious or fawning, and will never show fear (and in truth, after all these years, feels little; she hates pain and doesn’t want to die horribly, but beyond that, she’s almost ‘so what’ regarding her own fate).#Realmslore

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 27, 2018

…Similarly, she banks her rage rather than letting it boil over and master her, and is more apt to be amused when a human tricks or swindles her rather than lose her temper. But she will remember, and WILL get even 9/10) Her favourite phrases include “I see, and we shall see” and “I wonder…” and “Have you now?/Do you now?/Will you now?” and “I am always interested in the ‘why.’ Do tell.”#Realmslore

10/10)
And as for a riddle, try this one for a green dragon:
Harder to catch the harder you run
Yours but air, mine like deadly potion
In your last memory I’ll yet be green
In forests the scales of my kin are most often seen

(Hope this is of help! Have a great game!)#Realmslore

Does she come in human guise? Oh, yes, often. She wants to be "one of us," "us" being the badass human women she observes forging their own lives in Waterdeep, mastering its intrigues and winning respect and influence. Not that she wants to stop being a dragon, but human society fascinates her.

Dangerous woman! Now all we need is a bard- but with low charisma for a true comedy of errors… I like the way you think. ;}

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 28, 2018

Respectfully, I disagree. Numerous times in media we see a furious character punch walls until his knuckles bleed, or clench fists until her nails draw blood, or some other similar reaction, to push further with that angry adrenaline. Precedents for self-harm-fueled raging exist.

— J. N. H. (@chaoswolf1982) December 25, 2018

You’re actually agreeing with the rule. Barbarians can deal damage to themselves to keep raging.

#dnd tip for writers: read and study what you want to write. Want to write @DnD_AdvLeague content? Read all that content. Want to create monsters? Go through every official sourcebook, and other good examples from 3rd party work like from @KoboldPress.

Wise advice from a wise old wizard of game design. With an emphasis on "old." 😀

Devour everything. And don’t just read it, use it the way the audience uses it. https://t.co/0JcpfR87TM

Applies to Dungeon Masters wanting to improve their games too. Read and read some more! https://t.co/EGhEQMU5Vw

Hi again :p I have another question.

Is the Mantle still damaged, or it was repaired with the return of the Weave?

Thanks in advance Which mantle?

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 15, 2018

No problem, just wanted to be sure. There are a LOT of mantles in the Realms. ;}
Sorry. I will be more specific next time.

Skullport’s mantle. I’ve read it was heavily damaged after the Spellplague, barely able to sustain the cave; and in 1479, the Rag Mage (now himself the Fourthteen Skull) was trying to repair it. Skullport's mantle has been largely repaired, but it still slooooowly failing, and the repairs have caused some random, rare weird "side effect" magical discharges and twists to spells cast within it

— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) December 16, 2018

Thanks. This gives me a few ideas 🙂 Heh. A pleasure. ;}

Ever feel like you'll never finish that dream project?

Work on it a little bit at a time. Each day, do some actual work or do some daydreaming about it. Here's the key: make progress, even if it's many tiny steps. Later, you'll discover you finished it. Then do the next thing!

#dnd tip for writers: sidebars in adventures can be useful, but don't overuse them. If the DM couldn't run the adventure without the sidebar, that information belongs in the regular text. Keep them short, informative, and on point–always with a purpose.
