Is Manshoon's *Green Flame* brazier in Dragon Heist a deliberate reference to Acquisitions Inq.?

Of course! There’s a green flame reference buried in Dungeon of the Mad Mage, too. #wotcstaff https://t.co/pQHxRHWp74

They collapsed a few tunnels and simplified a few chambers, but the basics are all there…

Some might say less complex. Some might say — heaven forbid — “dumbed down.” But this looks better insofar as it’s more readable, understandable, and readily usable at the table That said, if you give your players the 5e map and use the rooms that were cut from the original map as secret, unmapped rooms a la Super Metroid… now that could be very cool indeed.

In the "home" Realms campaign, many parts of that level of Undermountain were hidden behind secret doors, or flooded rooms, and the PCs didn't find them for literally years. Part of the fun was finding new ways in and out of the dungeon; they're hidden all over Waterdeep. https://t.co/ni42o9nhMd

my dm just told me the dastardly Manshoon is in Dragon Heist. I am so excited to see him in the game with a stat block but I really really hope they did him the justice he deserves. I have the same thoughts around Halaster too. I hope they are done well. Post-Sundering, the gods have stepped back from mortal lives, so all their Chosen (El, Storm) have been lessened. Mystra spread her silver fire widely to make sure she could come back post-Sundering; Manshoon and Volo both had some, and have now lost it, so they're "down" too…

@TheEdVerse DMing DH. Had our first session. How important is it for a spellcaster to register with the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors? Do clerics/druids register? (P.s. thanks for signing the FR "fan" novel I wrote as a teen in the early 90s, and for all your work!)

What about bards?
— Lana (@LanaLeesVoer) October 5, 2018
The Order generally "turns a blind eye" to bards visiting the city for a month or less, UNLESS they make a habit of spellhurling in public. However, if they settle down in the city for longer than a month (NOT rent rooms and then vanish from the city to go adventuring for…

…longer, but live daily in the city for longer than a one-month stretch), the Order will send a welcoming committee (never less than 3 powerful mages, with bodyguards and "wand-and-ring-ready-for-trouble" geared up) to lean on them to register with the Order, or leave the city.
— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) October 6, 2018
And "leave" doesn't mean exit through one city gate and come back through another, even a month later; it means gone for this season at least. Piergeiron and Khelben unhesitatingly backed the Order in all such exiles; it remains to be seen if Vajra and Laeral will do so (i.e. …

…up to your DM). Bards visiting the city for a tenday or so "on tour" (performing) have always gotten a pass (an exemption, not a literal document) from the Order, but in elder days, they always out of courtesy dropped by the Order HQ and told the duty magists of their…

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I’m running the classic 2E version of The Ruins of Undermountain (with 5e rules). How different will Dungeon of the Mad Mage be?
— This Quest Sucks (@heroskulls) July 18, 2018
Undermountain, as presented in Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage, is over 100 years older than its 2e counterpart. It also trades width for depth. #wotcstaff https://t.co/WAbt9F9fzu
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) July 19, 2018
I think I understand why this decision was made, having studied all the old maps so well now… I’m curious as hell what’s deep down in level 23 now! 😈

Lots of odd stuff, as it turns out! #wotcstaff https://t.co/LVUWOgghhi
