Café de Nuit

Right now I have - two members of the party wanting the crown for their own purposes - one that wants to take it to Dominiani in the hopes that the good doctor will help cure him and out of a weird sense of chivalry - one that is just along for the ride... I'm having a lot of fun with this adventure...

Out of game, the paladin has just received a message from the Eternal Order to secure the crown and bring it back to Darkon, and to not tell his party about the message...

I'm wondering if my manipulations will have them at each others throats before they even get to Dominiani...

Well we have had a few more sessions and are now through the Catacombs and bearing the crown! - entering the canyon they first tried messing with the tree until they were attacked by the goblyn guards, after that they left it alone - the group managed to find every single short cut on their own with...

My game was not nearly as epic as that! My team has just travelled from Harmonia to Skald, with the Woodland encounter added in, and met with Akriel. Some highlights: - After besting the wolfwere at the farm, they refused to go to his place to, in their words, "steal from the dead". Missin...

When I ran it, I replaced the starfish with what I called a "tentacled thing". This was still when we played 4e, but I used a Kraken template and described it an an undead mass of sea creatures seemingly fused together... My explanation was that it is very boring for an extremely powerful ...

Another way that it could be played is that because the Captain himself didn't break the curse, you've not helped him by interring the bodies. He could realize this and it could drive him to another act to push him further down the path. In keeping with the realms shaking events, this could be the c...

In my game, when the players were drawn into the realm (via a portal gone wrong) a necromancer was pulled in first... I replaced Meredoth with this necromancer and had him arrive two decades earlier, setting himself up Darklord of the region, but trapped on the island. (All the power he craved, nobo...

Very nicely played! I'm hoping that my game will go similarly when they get that far into this adventure...

1) Yes - but heavily modified
2) Good
3) Battle on the ship was fun for my players
4) I modified out most of the ghosts and all of Graben island because I wanted to focus on my Meredoth replacement instead.

I just ended up buying the pdf for it and then printing them out on cardstock...

Worked for my table!

Also, I should mention that after a long long long hiatus and a mini adventure to observe the past, my party is finally about to start Feast of Goblyns tomorrow night! Following the events at the end of Ship of Horror, my party was swallowed up by the mists. While wandering they stumbled upon a Vist...

If you're looking for decent conversion guides, I've been following these that were posted on Reddit a while ago.

The reason I like the idea is that if they don't know who Harkon really is yet, it follows my theme of the party being pawns in a much larger game by much more powerful people. Even if they kill him, he can just move to a local wolf and keep observing them. When we get to Roots of Evil, it would be ...

Question related to another thread that just popped up on here... Following the events of Feast of Goblyns, how inappropriate do you think it would be for Harkon to allow the players a "safe haven" of sorts at the Old Kartakan Inn? Maybe in partial thanks for foiling the scheme of his daug...

As this is my first game, I hadn't given this a ton of thought really. My players are starting part 3 of my GC series and have been bouncing around quite a bit so far and are all outlanders. This would be an interesting thing to consider though, maybe something in Kartakass as its pseudo-neutral in ...
