  • A Guide to Storm King's Thunder
    In this .pdf, we are going to go over Storm King’s Thunder and discuss the things you need to know when running the adventure. This guide has a lot of stuff that should make your life easier. At the end, I have included a sample campaign so newer DMs can get an idea of how to put this adventure together. This guide grew out of my blog: Power Score RPG http://powerscorerpg.blogspot.com/ http://thecampaign20xx.blogspot.com/ When Does This Adventure Take Place? The timeline is kept purposely vague to suit your campaign. This adventure definitely takes place after Tyranny of Dragons. There is a sidebar on page 13 that says that this adventure is assumed to be set after the year 1485 DR. • The Spellplague hit in 1385 DR, which marked the beginning of 4th edition. • The Sundering occurred in either 1484 or 1485 DR and marked the beginning of the D&D Next playtest era. So, yeah, here we are. I'd say you should put in at least a year to account for Tyranny of Dragons, which occurs prior to this adventure. I think saying that there is one year of time between each adventure sounds good. Out of the Abyss could take a very long time in-game. So here’s what you do: • 1486 DR: Tyranny of Dragons Sample file • 1487 DR: Princes of the Apocalypse • 1488 DR: Out of the Abyss • 1489 DR: Curse of Strahd • 1490 DR: Storm King’s Thunder If This is Your First Campaign New DMs: If you are new to being a dungeon master, it is important to remember that you can do whatever you want with this book.

Everyone thinks it is running awesome, and it’s cool to start the character at level 0, and only have the background. But they didn’t like finalizing the personality, and there was some people upset about Class weapon proficiency. So I made some updates. Thanks to everyone for helping me and my players on this. I put together a short Level 0 adventure just for fun. Let me know what you like/dislike. http://tribality.Acom/2p014/10p/05/ddr­5ee­apprnenticet­chiarcacter­eupda te/Character 1/17 4/6/2016 D&D 5e Apprentice Character Update | Tribality Apprentice Character Character Generation 1.
