March 2024 Wrap Up
Added 2024-04-01 19:39:42 +0000 UTCFor those of you in the northern hemisphere spring has finally sprung! I hope the better weather starts treating you well! We've had another great month here at Advent's Amazing Advice, so let's see what's new!
Phandelver and Below
I've officially completed Act One of Phandelver and Below, now you'll be able to decide whether you'd like to simply run Lost Mine of Phandelver as a Standalone Mini-Campaign or weave it into the full shebang with PaB: TSO!
I've also compiled all of my prep for it in a single easy-to-access post for all my Heroes and Legends! I hope my prep helps you have an Amazing time at the table!
I've discussed this on Discord as well as answered a few questions and thought I would clarify some information here; campaigns are super time intensive, so I have to choose wisely which ones I prep. The reason I've been able to do part of PaB:TSO is because the first half is an updated version of The Lost Mine of Phandelver which I've already completed. I'll only be doing Act 1 since I'm trying to focus on the more popular Campaigns like Curse of Strahd, Rime of The Frost Maiden, Descent Into Avernus, Waterdeep Dragon Heist, and a secret bonus one before I work on others.
With what I release, you'll have a great kickstart through most of the campaign though, and there are plenty of helpful members on the Discord that can guide you along the rest of the way!
Dragon of Icespire Peak
With Phandelver and Below out of the way it's time to move on to The Essentials Kit; Dragon of Icespire Peak! Once this is completed I'll have officially prepped all 3 of the main on-ramps to D&D!
You can expect better-balanced encounters, clearer descriptions, and a more coherent story overall with my prep! I can't wait to hear all the stories from your time running this Mini-Campaign!
Milestone One-Shot
New Patrons have just been pouring in the last few months and I'm simply in Awe of all the support. You can expect another poll this month to decide which One-Shot I should prep next!
Yearly Memberships
Oh my, I can't believe I'm saying this, but all of the limited-time bonuses for the Yearly-Memberships are gone! I'm absolutely floored, I can't thank you enough for your support! Don't worry though that doesn't mean there still isn't a great incentive to become a Yearly-Member; You'll save money, unlock 6 exclusive yearly member-only fully prepped One-Shots, and of course, this will be the best way to get access to all my notes for Curse of Strahd when it's fully released along with all the other great content I'll be releasing throughout the year!

Now onto releases for last month!
Phandelver and Below (Wave Echo Cave) - Congratulations on making it to the Finale of Act 1 for Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk! Our Adventurers have been through quite a bit, from clearing a town of ruffians, raiding a castle, saving Gundren, fighting not one but two dragons, and possibly even befriending one. These Adventurers will need all the skills they've learned up to this point to survive the deadly trials ahead! In this session, the players will brave through Wave Echo Cave, deal with sinister traps, enemies, and more, all coming to an epic confrontation!
Phandelver and Below (Act 1) - In an effort to make things as organized and easily accessible as possible, I've decided to create a post that compiles the entirety of Act 1 for Phandelver and Below. Each link takes you directly to the DM Notes. The Complete Collection download has every single file from parts 1-5. Thank you all so much; without your support, none of this would be possible!!!
Dragon of Icespire Peak (Part 1 Phandalin) - Our journey begins with a group of adventurers on the Triboar Trail making their way to the town of Phandalin. You’ve heard rumors of strange happenings in the area, and you know all too well that where there’s danger there’s sure to be coin.
Dragon of Icespire Peak (Part 2a Umbrage Hill) - It's time for your group of Adventurers' first real quest, they'll need to venture to Umbrage Hill in order to convince Adabra Gwynn an apothecary to return to Phandalin. Alas, nothing can ever be easy, because she's currently being harassed by a Manticore. Will your players attempt to talk it out or will they risk life and limb to slay the beast?
With that, we come to the end of our monthly wrap-up! Thank you all so much for another great month! Here's to plenty more!!!
Cheers,
Advent
