Ep 11: Fixing Maelstrom - Running Storm King's Thunder

Ойындар

In Episode 11, I reveal how I adapted the "Fixing Maelstrom" Reddit post to my own game. I also talk about how I tie all the loose threads and weak plot points together into a more cohesive (IMO) set of motivations for the major villains. Timestamps follow below.

    Running this tonight with my group, I loved that reddit post and it helped so much to see it applied to other groups :)

    What a coincidence, I'm also using Tiamat as a motivation for Iymrith in a very similar way.

    Why Iymrith would be involved at all vexed me for the almost half the campaign before I thought of this idea. I know WotC likes to leave a lot of the background up to the DM, but I was surprised this wasn't really touch upon at all.

    Thanks for the comment and view! I'm running Golden Goose tonight, and making a number of changes from the book, so the next one should be full of ideas.

    Thanks for the info. Helping me prep. Totally using the giants not having resurrection. I’m having the Kraken using Imyrith to gain access to Maelstrom, an artifact of the ancient gods that is actually an Atlantis like Starjammer ship. It’s goal is to leave this plain and go back to the gods. It’s like an abandoned attack dog trying to rejoin it’s masters.

    Ha ha... no kidding. My group is finally coming to the end, but we haven't had a session in like 3 months because life is kicking our collective asses. You are right. I need to knock something out.
