That’s splendid idea!!!

I was thinking about Thule as well and might do the opposite… everyone that dies is raised a zombie and those that fail Death saves witness the void causing Insanity.

That should solve the issue of players asking to retire PCs mid adventure.

We have one player in our group who tends to quickly lose interest in the characters he plays. He’ll be begging me to run the group in meat grinder mode.

There are a surprising number of ways for PCs to amuse themselves, given that this is a time-sensitive campaign.

I also picked up the Tortle Package from the DM’s Guild. (In addition to a playable Tortle race, it also provides more detail on a mysterious island off Chult, which has some additional encounters and side quests.) Tortles look like a very neat race to play. Their signature feature is their shell, obviously, which gives them natural armor and the ability to hide. It’s a great option for building a melee/caster hybrid that uses Strength-based weapons and wouldn’t normally get access to heavy armor (Bard, Blade Warlock, Death Cleric, etc.) as you won’t need Dexterity for your AC.

I’m moving this from FR to Eberron. I’m actually taking out inspiration and replacing it with Action/Hero Points. I just can’t seem to remember to give out inspiration, so putting extra dice into the players hands each level works better for me. Should make the adventure a little less deadly.

Good point on Thule.

Yes it would! The first thing that comes to my mind about tinkering is the nature of the curse, as there are not many resurrected individuals in Thule, but this is easy.

Ooh, didn’t consider Thule at all till you mentioned it! This really would fit into that setting with minimal adaptation.

I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

It is spot-on for Primeval Thule as well.

I’ll be back with my impressions as well as soon as my copy arrives.
