Thanks you! The support means a lot.
We all had a ton of fun and they all loved it. 2 out of 3 players were entirely new to DnD. I skipped all the side quests and expanded on the Redbrands and Goblins before finding the mine. There are definitely things I’d change a second time around.
It’s a great adventure to start out with and it can transition into pretty much anything else. My players started hearing rumors about giants attacking settlements halfway through. They liked the foreshadowing.
