Tears of the Burning Sky Funny you should ask about the next adventure, @RangerWickett. I was looking forward to running a relatively straightforward dungeon delve and planned on running it as written. But the PCs had other ideas. The adventure started pretty normally. The party took their...

Okay thanks. What exactly is going on with the Torch when the PCs get to it has been tricky to decipher. It seems like the details will matter in later adventures so I want to get it right now.

My campaign is in Trial of Echoed Souls. The players just got the torch back and are about to figure out they need to enter the Temple of Echoed Souls. I want to make sure I understand the soul in the Torch before going any further. I want to make sure I describe the soul in the Torch accurately...

The PCs make it through to the illusory tower and pit. They discover that both are illusions in really the best possible way: they are careful, they find out there is an illusion hiding a pit, and yet one or two of them still fall into the pit and get jumped. They explore the inside of Pilus'...

To catch up on what the PCs know at this point: I've let drop enough hints about the trillith that the players are aware of them, though they might not be confident on their name being trillith. They've also done enough plot while exploring the village to know that people have been disappearing...

The Monastery of Two Winds I decided at the end of Mad King's Banquet that the PCs didn't quite have enough magical loot, so I gave out a couple fun utility items like a robe of many items. This probably ended up being a mistake because they got more magic loot relatively soon, but shrug...

I think the players enjoyed this one. They stretched their legs and demonstrated their ability to influence the world in a real way to the de facto leaders of the resistance at the Lyceum. It managed to remain geographically close to where the previous adventure took place, and I think the...

The PCs arrive in Bresk and are feted as heroes. King Steppengard knights them despite having been on the opposing side in last week's civil war. At the festival most of the party enter the jousting tournament. Raziel riding Kiera and Tarak enter the lower tier of it. Raziel doesn't make it too...

I recall the fight with the Ragesians at the outpost being especially challenging, especially once they have to go inside and deal with the soldiers who didn't go onto the roof. I think they got a lot of help from the fact that we were short more players than normal for the session where the...

Happy to have horses again, the PCs head North to Gallo’s Fend. They decide to head through the Pitchwood because Raziel has enough Ranger levels to lead the party through difficult forest terrain at regular speed, and in doing so lose the soldiers pursuing them. (I had not read far enough ahead...

Mad King's Banquet After a little time to recover the PCs were summoned to the Lyceum to meet with Simeon and Kiernan. On the way there they saw Jineer Bremman but I don't think he talked to them until later. Once in Simeon's office with him, Kiernan, Katrina, and were introduced to Balan...

The PCs, plus Torrent, and Crystin, and Tiljann, leave the (ashen remains) of Innenotdar and enter Dassen, heading towards the semi-independent city of Seaquen far to the south. They spend their first night in the town of Cornerwood, happy to spend the night in a bed and eat food prepared in a...

The Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar I will admit up front that I don't remember the details of what happened during the Indomitable Fire Forest of Innenotdar probably the worst of all the adventure's we've run so far. Though after looking at the edits I just had to make to my post about...

I forgot to mention that I was really happy with how well the PCs were able to feel involved and be motivated in Scouring of Gate Pass. I don't know if it was on purpose, but giving game mechanical benefits to being affiliated with the Resistance led to almost every player making a PC that was...

They left Hardin tied up. They broke his control over Crystin. Once freed Crystin wanted to leave with th3 party. Hardin didn’t want her to go and tried to mentally control one of the party members. So they beat him up and tied him to a chair before leaving. As they left they were worried Hardin...

The PCs met Torrent in the Poison Apple Pub on New Years Eve. They agreed to Torrent's proposed mission to retrieve the case and then the fight with the Black Horse mercenaries started with the building catching on fire. The fight spilled outside and Kathor got involved. The PCs demonstrated a...

I'm running WotBS in 5E over Roll20. So far we've just started act three of Tears of the Burning Sky. I've been meaning to post what the players have done and my impression of each adventure and just haven't gotten around to it until now. We play four hour sessions, and it takes us a number of...

My WotBS game is almost to the third act of Mad King's Banquet. I'm going to steal pretty much this entire thread.

Update Greyhawk for 5e, because I like Greyhawk. Play around more with different rules as drop-in replacements for existing classes. Like Book of Nine Swords, but with classes as drop-in replacements for Fighter, etc. Psionics as a drop-in replacement for arcanists, or clerics. I want more...
