Tomb of Annihilation (Return of the Lizard King) – Part 2

After the adventurers arrived in Chult through a misfiring teleportation spell that had brought them via the Feywild, they were surprised to find themselves in the middle of a battle between some lizardfolk and some dinosaurs. They were even more surprised when their wizard dropped dead, as the magic that had revived him in the Feywild no longer worked. And surprise was no longer even … Continue reading Tomb of Annihilation (Return of the Lizard King) – Part 2

Running Tomb of Annihilation – Session 1

The memory cheats. It had been a week since our Session 0 where we created the characters for this session, and I’d ended the creation session with the description of the characters arriving in Chult. Except, now they weren’t. I described a new teleportation ritual started by their patron, and it went wrong, not sending them to Chult! Did anyone notice? No, not really.

With Tomb … Continue reading Running Tomb of Annihilation – Session 0

Preparing for Tomb of Annihilation

Tomb of Annihilation is a big book, isn’t it? It feels really heavy. I mean, it should weigh about the same as Storm King’s Thunder, but for some reason it feels heavier to me. Guess what I start running this Saturday? I tend not to overprepare published adventures; giving them an examination to understand the underlying structure and then examine various encounters with more detail … Continue reading Preparing for Tomb of Annihilation

5E Adventure Review: Cellar of Death

The new Guild Adepts program from Wizards of the Coast and the DMs Guild has seen a few interesting products released to support Tomb of Annihilation. In the coming weeks, I’ll take a look at each of these products, but I decided to start with Cellar of Death (also known as Cellar of DEEEEAAAATTTTHHHH!), a short adventure by James Introcaso that can serve as a … Continue reading 5E Adventure Review: Cellar of Death
