Advent's Amazing Advice
Patreon.com/AdventsAmazingAdvice
Welcome back to Advent's Amazing Advice! The series where I take popular One-Shots, Adventures, Campaigns, etc. and fully prep them for both New and Busy DMs. This prep includes music, ambiance, encounter sheets, handouts, battle maps, tweaks, and more so you can run the best sessions possible with the least stress possible!
Congratulations on surviving your first dragon encounter! Did you talk your way out or perhaps you thought steel was the better option. Whichever you choose, may decide your fate in the future to come. Your players will now find themselves in Thundertree, where an evil dragon resides, an enemy of Torhaem and perhaps all of Phandalin. Here your players may learn the path to Cragmaw and possibly even be brave...or foolish enough to take on this evil scourge. Alas, this is no easy encounter and if the players didn't help Torhaem then their lives may be at risk. However this plays out, it's sure to be an epic encounter, and should death befall your players they may just have one more chance.
Differences between my LMOP Prep and PaB:TSO Prep
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Act 1
As always, if you see something you think I can improve, add, change, etc. please let me know. I want this to be an amazing resource for all DMs and plan to keep it constantly updated! If you'd like to support me, shape future releases, and get content early feel free to check out my Patreon!
Cheers,
Advent
