216 - Call of the Netherdeep Review Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

DMs Rob and Matt do a netherdeep dive into Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep. This campaign has a lot to offer but, like any published module, it needs fixing to work well. We once again take the approach of trying not to just review and critique but to review, critique, and offer suggestions for improvement. Without getting into spoilers, this module has a very high ceiling for very cool sh*t. However, there is a lot of work to do to get that payoff. Listen to find out if this module is the right fit for you and your players.

Join our Discord to discuss this campaign or any campaign with some cool DMs!

You can also support the show and gets lots of bonus episodes by putting down $5 a month on Patreon.

Show notes

We are back with advice for your tables and worlds.

How do balance Strength? Are Owlbear pellets canon? Can you run a "reverse level" campaign? What is a good length for a dungeon? Is it problematic to have magical and non-magical species? What does the cult of Tiamat need? Are really short sessions okay?
