Sat down and focused most of the day to get #DnD prep accomplished. I ended up rewriting the next 1-2 sessions of material, but I think we'll be better for it. Plus, I get to finally make good on intrigue...
Just remember kids, old D&D modules often have fantastic maps, descriptions, villains, unique monsters, etc that you can mine for material. For example, the original Dragonlance campaign has fantastic Dragon Lairs and traps.
@thindol i'm learning this! the DM at my local game store is running like an AD&D module and it's super interesting
@lobster_writer That's wonderful! There's often such an emphasis on new-new-new, that people forget there's so many old gems out there deserving a little air.
@thindol yeah, I wanna ask him what he's running so i can hunt it down
@lobster_writer I like to keep a running list of recommended modules, adventures, one-shots, etc that people discuss using/liking, and then pull from them as the narrative requires.
So when I decided to rewrite this next piece entirely, I had something available that - while specifics weren't right - had the flavor, some NPCs, and maps I needed.
