Bent Goblin's Companion to "Dragonlance: Broken Silence"
 |
If you are planning to run the new Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragonqueen campaign published for D&D¸ get started with a bang! This publication provides guidance on running the Broken Silence prelude that is sketched in the book
and offers the following supporting material for it:
four (un)natural phenomena for foreshadowing the characters' vision ten discoveries on the battle field four random encounters on the battle field a specific way for each god of Krynn to guide the characters to the temple ten dressings for the nightly forest two maps for the temple eight random observations in the temple
The layout of this publication is like none of you have ever seen before: it provides the most salinent information required by the dungeon master at a single glance.
Teos Abadía puts it thus on the Mastering Dungeons podcast episode of January 26th¸ 2023 (refering to the Companion to the "Scales of War" Prelude (also available on the Dungeonmasters' Guild):
"They have come up with a neat idea of using these kind of symbols and bars that are in the layout on the side of each section that lets you at a glance know what this is providing to you and how to use it -- which is a really neat concept. There is a lot here to look at!"
Why settle for a prelude¸ when you could have a whole overture?
