You can make simple, Monty Hall Dungeons (Lots and lots and lots of loot) to help players get geared. I’ve already seen people start up Campaigns/Chronicles via Modules, labeling them as part 1, promising more in a telltale style fashion. Be advised.Įven though it’s a dungeon crawl, it has story, and the DM mode can create storylines, villages/towns to start things off in. You can make the dungeons be multiple levels and as I said, you can drop a boss in it, and the bosses hurt. They are pretty standard quests, gather x item, kill y amounts of enemies, defeat the boss. You can even set quest objectives and random rewards (weapon, armor, trinket) for the completing of those in Dungeon Crawl. But there are lots of dungeon options to run through which I thought was pretty cool. Maybe that’s coming, maybe it just isn’t in the Headstart. But I’d like to see the DM mode have options to make forest areas, oceanside, whatever. I still find myself having a boatload of fun. Good in that it’s a lot of fun to run amok through a dungeon with your friends, even if there’s suddenly a Vampire that explodes your party without warning or provocation. The game is essentially a dungeon crawl, which is good and bad. Why the hell can’t I heal there without spending money on a healing potion/having a cleric around? You are in a “safe” camp as they say in the description. The way the game stands now in Dungeon Mode, you have to run back into a dungeon and die to get full health back.

But at the end of the day, it’s a loving tribute to “Neverwinter Nights,” one of the most famous PC games to be set in Faerun.

I really wanted to peek at the story though, I did. ![]() Some require a DM to run them, most of the ones I have seen do not. In the Head Start you don’t get access to the campaign or anything like that though just Dungeon Crawl Mode and DM mode, which allows you to build modules (one shot adventures) for other players to download and play.
