I've been starting quite a few new campaigns over the past year, running small modules and mini-campaigns so this subject has been on my mind plenty. Hopefully my thoughts and actionable advice will prove valuable to you all in this video.

What advice could you personally share with me and the lair? Let us know below! Thanks for checking out my video.

The hot start is my personal favorite. I started my first campaign off imforming my players after a night at a tavern they had found themselves press-ganged into being marines on a ship. They had been on they voyage to a settlement for a few days when two small, ruined ships floated above the water crewed by skeleton pirates.

Welcome back, been missing you, my cross-pond friend. One of the most fun I ever had was when I ran two groups that started on the opposite sides of the map and adventured to the center. They met and all went after the BBEG that had been causing both groups all their trouble. The last of the campaign was a grand combined adventure with 10 players at the table.

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

That’s epic! I’d love to do something like that but I doubt scheduling would be easy for that 😂

@Marcus-ki1en 21 день назад

@@LokisLair It was the same night, but every other week for the two groups. When they came together, it became every week for both groups, so they were all in.

Nice video! I would love to see more about adventure zones in a later video, they lookreally evocative on a map but it's hard to make the actual zone as interesting as the name

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

Yeah I’m really excited about covering this and I plan to release a free example of an adventure zone made by yours truly so you can see how it works in the video.

Oh the random encounter rant is beautiful, Pointy Hat just did a video on the topic proposing 'exciting' preplanned story-driven not-random travel encounters and I almost switched to it. Yah I don't want no fairy tale, I *want* random 1d6 bandits + a cap'n to screw the party over once in a while. Love you dude.

@LokisLair 15 дней назад

Love you too! ❤️

@mikehallaron 22 дня назад

Happy to see a new @LokisLair video. Great subject too. How was your game con? Love your Shadowdark play videos, too. Thx Loki! 👍🏼

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

It was actually really good. I’m going to go next year as well. Met lots of new people, not many subscribers though sadly.

@thadgray3701 22 дня назад

You could give Night’s Dark Terror a shot. That is built as a wilderness sandbox.

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

Yeah I’ve heard things about nights dark terror; I’ll look into it.

@jacobbrown7367 22 дня назад

I really really need a deepdive on the evils of illmire

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

It’s funny because I didn’t actually run it but you’ve got me thinking that maybe I should.

@cp1cupcake 14 дней назад

I think the biggest issue I have with designing travel encounters, espeically for something like a hexcrawl, is that the newer games give the players back everything on a long rest. An encounter which challenges them tends to be pretty close to deadly.

@tiblehoaxy 22 дня назад

Veiled Society. City based, definitely different from the other ones you've run. Not as beloved as the others, but still an interesting entry to the BX line of modules. Castle Amber would also be an interesting one to see more on.

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

Ahh the veiled society. I’ve seen dungeon crafts take on that; my games seem to run much differently to his so it might be worth me covering it.

@slashdash846 21 день назад

Against the Cult of the Reptile God or The Evils of Ilmire would be cool to watch!

@LokisLair 21 день назад

I’ve played cult of the reptile god as a player and it was awful. I’d really need to figure out a better introduction to make that module more interesting.

@slashdash846 21 день назад

@@LokisLair 4e version against the cult of chaos did a good job.

@sillwullivan83 22 дня назад

If you haven't already, look into The Isle of Dread. Classic adventure, incredibly well detailed, but still flexible enough to be adjusted and tweaked. I first learn of it from a video by Seth Skorkowsky, and I've run sections of it in my own game. Would definitely suggest looking into it if you're looking for something new.

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

Hahaha yeah I’ve got that lined up to run for my Saturday group next year. I’m pretty excited honestly.

@RenaissanceManchild856 22 дня назад

Would love to see a video on dwellers of the forbidden city if it isn’t too close to Lost City. Giant city map with so much potential for sandbox play but really begging for a homebrewed climax or finale - I hope to run it some day with an aspect of demogorgon being summoned at the end

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

That sounds cool, I’ll check it out!

@davidc9005 22 дня назад

Good session zero helps to start the characters off

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

I agree! 💪🏻 I made a few videos on that subject earlier this year. This one is more about the thought process and preparation that a dm should be making.

@boomboy1236 22 дня назад

FIRST! also thanks for making these kind of videos im kinda bad at this part of DMing

@LokisLair 22 дня назад

No worries man. If there is anything specific that you’re struggling with, let me know and I might be able to put it on the agenda!

@boomboy1236 22 дня назад

@@LokisLair i have trouble making a cohesive story that stays together like i just have trouble making 1 big campaign i can only make one or two shots have any tips?

@mikehallaron 22 дня назад

Poor wilderness or boring travel criticisms are the DMs fault. Try planning out your point crawl and don’t rely on aimless walking and an hourly random encounter roll to advance the story and fun!
