The Greyhawk Channel presents: The Savage Tide
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-

Good day everyone!

My friends and I have gotten together to stream a new campaign and I decided to bust out and convert my favorite Paizo campaign, The Savage Tide, to 5e D&D in good ol' Greyhawk.

In the link above will take you to the twitch collection of VoDs of this campaign so far. We're four sessions into it, but it's a ton of fun. Perhaps one of the best D&D campaigns I've run in years.

I've ran the Savage Tide up to book 4 a few times in my life, but this is the first time running it online on Roll20.net.

Currently, were at the end of Book 1 about to assault the Lotus Dragons.

Hello! So at least once a week I come across the same question on various RPG forums:

How do I get started building a Sandbox/West Marches campaign?

This video is my answer to that question. It is a step-by-step walk through on how to begin the campaign design journey and build an adventuring region for a fantasy campaign.

I know it's a long video (90 minutes) and I'm a nobody, but if you give it a look, you'll see how I demonstrate:

• how to start populating a map with terrain
• How to create dynamic conflicts
• How to use conflicts as ideas for adventures, towns, ruins, and other locales.

This video's finished files are here:

• Google Sheets Toolkit With Locations
• Hexographer Map File

• Hexographer tool

• Google Sheets Blank Fantasy Sandbox Toolkit

Thank you very much for reading and viewing and I'd love to hear if this process worked for you!
