The second I read that Rezmir is slated to bite it, I immediately thought of abishai shenanigans. I actually want to user her even earlier (namely for the cult assassination attempts). Also what's next on the module revamp chopping block? God knows Out of the Abyss and Princes of the Apocalypse need the same fine tooth comb you've used for Tyranny of Dragons.
Late to the party, i used a black abashai back in xonthals tower because i found there wasn't any climax within the tower and i didnt want the dragon outisde. ( didnt make sense in their story) The abishai got thoroughly whacked, warlock with devil sight.... But i feel the red abashai will be more formidable. 😈
Running this chapter this month, hopefully wrapping it up before the holidays. Thanks for your help and ideas! Been with you since Ch. 1 of this campaign.
I switched Mondath from a cleric to an undying patron warlock and for her patron I went with Evendeath. So I gave her the pact of the chain and made her familiar an undead pseudodragon! Lol this is great! All ideas I got from watching all your videos several times. Would you consider breaking down other published campaigns to this level of detail? Or maybe how you could easily mash up this campaign with descent into Avernus?
I allowed my party to encounter Severin before this encounter. I had „him“ take part in the final „Episode 5 - The cult strikes back“ attack. Or rather, I had the party fight a simulacrum of Severin. He had a quick chat with the party when he approaches them pretending to be an ally. At that point, they didn‘t know how he looked like, they only ever have heard of „Severin the Red“. So, I had a nice little RP scenario between the party and the big antagonist until he drops his facade and him and all his soldiers hidden in the tavern attacked. Was a really enjoyable moment and gave Severin a bit more presence. I would recommend anybody playing this campagne to give Severin at least one big moment in the middle of the campagne.
These videos are amazing!! I’m glad I found you, don’t stop making them. We are in castle naeytar or just outside it. And I have been reading and planning far ahead to prep great moments for my PCs. And to tell the truth , the books are letting me down. You sir are not. You have inspired me to do some fun things. More dragons! We need more dragons I have decided.
Great series. So helpful. I really appreciate all your efforts on this. This path was a challenge to run for sure, but your advice really helped me make sense of it all.
THANK YOU for this Journey! It has been insightful and inspiring. I hope to see more of your content in this format. Maybe you share a world of your own? 🔮
You lost Tiamat your Mother is with us again you were told lies by her Enemies she is doing fine after being locked in a box and shot into space we got her back and she is dearly loved and she is so sweet.
If you want to put Severin into the campaign more, have him interact with the players through one of the Dragon Masks that the players can get. Also, if you absolutely want the party to fight Tiamat, but they stopped the ritual, just say that Tiamat is so powerful that once the portal is open she can hold it open with her own power.
Do we have access to written notes/DM tools associated with these awesome videos? I love this series, and am in the middle of HoTDQ Ch 4 right now, so am leveraging your feedback heavily.
This is not the first time I've been asked about some written material, but unfortunately I haven't put anything like that together yet. May I ask what form of notes would be convinient to you? Some shorter recaps of the video series? Just trying to get some ideas.
@@LutesDice for me? Bullet points and drop-in characterizations. I’d love a framework for 1) considerations of things to change from the written module and 2) places to add foreshadowing, especially for upcoming changes. If you have a monologue or scene description that worked, I’d love to have that.
Your series is great and I’m looking forward to using some of your ideas in my campaign. I was also hoping to pick your brain about how I may be able to run SKT in parallel to part of tyranny of dragons. I think it could be done easily enough with some adjustments to iymrith that she is working with the cult to manipulate the giants to both prevent giants from interfering, and to cause a distraction to societies in the sword coast by having giants causing chaos. I even thought my players could hear a rumor in a future town that greenest had been attacked by giants, and if that if they’re able to figure it out they’ll learn cultists had been spreading the truthless rumors. Would love to hear some of your thoughts.
9:26. Gargantuan size means 20’ x 20’ or larger. If ever there was a gargantuan creature who was larger than 20’ x 20’, it’s Tiamat.
This whole series has inspired me to make all of my sessions as epic as possible. Having Rezmir return as an Abishai is absolutely genius!!!!
Please do more complete guides like these, this series help me a lot as a DM
This entire series was extremely helpful in getting prepared for my first campaign, thank you

Out of the Abyss is probably next!
Been here from the start of this series and it's been a fun ride. Cannot wait to see whats next from the channel
I wouldn't mind watching you talk for hours and hours about every aspect of the Tiamat's Return encounter! This is good stuff!

love this and all the helpful tips for HotDQ as well as RoT. Thank you!
You are so welcome!

Thanks for sticking around! I'm considering starting an Out of the Abyss guide next.

TIME TO PROPERLY KILL A GODDESS
Thank you for this series.
THANK YOU for this Journey!
It has been insightful and inspiring.
I hope to see more of your content in this format. Maybe you share a world of your own? 🔮
Great idea for using a metallic dragon they recently saved to give the players 1 round of protection.
Loved all your videos on this module.
Good advice, as always! And you are a cutie ❤️
😊 thank you
You lost Tiamat your Mother is with us again you were told lies by her Enemies she is doing fine after being locked in a box and shot into space we got her back and she is dearly loved and she is so sweet.
I like your chanell so much! Thank you!
No joke I'm making Severin into Sinestro 🤣

So which chapters from Rise of Tiamat would you personally omit?
I really don't like random encounters or sidetracks that don't add to the story.
I replaced Severin with Joss
