This adventure is far from finished, but I've at least gotten it through from inception to the final location. At this point, the treasure needs to be determined for the final encounters, and then the laborious process of going back over everything from the beginning to fine tune it, polish the rough edges, fill in the gaps between settings and encounters, and so many other details that need adding and finalizing.
But I'm happy to call this project complete and begin a new one. Partly, this is because I'm almost completely burned out on this one, and partly because new settings and ideas have come to mind, and I'd rather work on them. Now that Tomb of Annihilation is out, the lure of lost ruins and jungle exploration is too overwhelming to stay away from.
This was a unique situation. I wanted to work on a long form adventure, and I wanted to make a dragon quest. This fulfilled that. I also wanted to take a story I'd begun during NaNoWriMo and develop the adventure it suggested. It seemed like the best option to blog the progress, both to keep myself plodding away at it every day, and to document the process. I'm pleased with the effort, but I don't think I could replicate it again right away.
I like the idea of producing something every day, but I'd rather jump around for a while. Explore settings, traps, monsters and lairs. Whatever comes to mind, basically. I feel like exploring some jungle themes and ruined temples, and this is a good place to work on elements of those. Also, we're finally getting the story moving in Storm King's Thunder, so there is opportunity to try out scenarios tied with that, either for inspiration or for actual play.
