    evidently this is no longer a preorder exclusive. on May 21st you can purchase Nest of the Eldritch Eye for $4.99 on DnDBeyond (after Eve of Ruin is released).

    Appreciate your videos. I finally got my hands on this adventure yesterday, and am planning on running it as a short bridge between Descent into Avernus and Eve of Ruin-I’m shifting the setting from Neverwinter to Elturel, and the nest is going to be an underground Cathedral of Kelemvor taken over for Vecna’s rituals

    Thanks GameMaster! I’m no statistician but winning a fifty-fifty three times in a row is just a little more than a 10% chance; assuming a handful of level three heroes have some plus sixes, they’ll need a ten or better for the checks so I figure a fifty-fifty. More heroes making more attempts helps but even five heroes is not a fifty percent likelihood. May have to lure the zombies through a corridor and kill them one by one. As for the charms, let’s save ‘em! Vecna won’t use them against us later I promise!

    • @gamemasters
      @gamemasters  2 місяці тому +1

      That's my thought too, save the charms and use em when we face off with vecna himself.

    The adventure is not only available when you pre-order the Vecna book. When that book is released next month you can buy this one for 4,99.

      then they changed it, it was going to be an exclusive only for the preorders then once the book was out, the adventure was to be removed. ua-cam.com/video/cFVaUWXY6yc/v-deo.htmlsi=aTFpxyCEVO-mJ7xU&t=147

    Conveniently, the players in my current Phandelver and Below game were just the right level for this. So, last session I used one of their ties to Neverwinter to pull them back for a session to run through this. It was fantastic!

    Capturing them, as per the players guide, you get experience as tho you fought them. So capturing is xp.

    I don’t subscribe to D&D Beyond, preferring pen and paper and loads of homebrew, but most importantly I’m to tight to spend money on a subscription for conveniences sake.

      If you ordered the Digital+Physical Bundle then you need to unlock the activation key to redeem on DnDBeyond, digital only should see it automatically. This adventure will also be available for purchase on May 21 for $5.

    This happens in 1501, and the eve of ruin will be in 1491... This is odd... Do you know why?

    • @gamemasters
      @gamemasters  Місяць тому

      Not sure where it states that it takes place specifically in 1491?
      Chapter two starts off with "This chapter begins sometime after the characters’ adventure in Neverwinter-days, months, or years, at your discretion." While it doesn't specify a specific date here, it does state that Eve takes place after Nest.
