🎒 getting going
💻 and logged in
🖥 then time for work, 2/3
🎲 and running #SwordCoastRamblers #dnd tonight!

Hmmm.

- The party arrives in a town
- Meet a lot of interesting people
- Grow to like the place
- MONSTERS ATTACK

It seems trite, but why mess with what works? #SwordCoastRamblers #dnd

Let's nerd out a little

Last night my #SwordCoastRamblers #DnD group landed in Bargewright Inn, a nexus of Zhent activity with three plot hooks between Storm Kings Thunder and Princes of the Apocalypse. I poked at them witnessing a few things and then what really got their attention was the Womford Bat, a local vampire. Spent most of the session grilling staff for information and trying to stake out the killer. I think I have a decent finale for the side trek lined up for next session as they're chasing after a caravan to warn them of the danger

Welp, today

☕ cat alarm still insists on 6am. How do you reset this thing?
🖥️ logging on for one more early work shift
✍️ lining up my ducks
🎲 and running #SwordCoastRamblers #dnd tonight!

Part of the fun of running an open world Sword Coast is figuring out how to present quests in a way that the party can prioritise and keep the story moving. Switched to different coin markers for high/low priority missions instead of generic exclamation marks. Also added fast travel points for the Harper's teleportation network. #dnd #SwordCoastRamblers
Fun prep today sorting out sidequests to dangle for my #SwordCoastRamblers players and figuring out how to loop them back into other ongoing stories. #dnd
