Welcome back to Hive ! 😀
D&D with a good group is one of the most awesome experiences possible - I'm glad you're enjoying it !
This series of posts is unusual for me because I was working from one of the pre-written books. I was having a bust time at work about then and didn't have time to write anything. But as soon as this module was finished, the party reverted back to things I wrote myself.
I've had the same homebrew setting for more decades than I care to think about, which gives me a real depth of lore and background I can tap into.
