How have you worked it, do you give your players extra secrets about each mod, or just advance knowledge of a major plot point? I'm planning a demon slayer for season 3, I want to use the discovery feature as his reason for fighting against the main BBEG. He's going to be a warlock(probably), I want the source of his powers and knowledge to be from a demon who opposes the BBEG, if one exists(preferably one that I won't be forced to fight). Will I have access to this information?

With so many miles between Subrin Valley and the Moonsea, it hardly matters whether you're at the surface of a couple of miles below
#7 Skerrit Jul 22, 2015 13:07:59	The Moonsea region/Underdark near Hillsfar has its own drow and demons to worry about. So no, the Expeditions won't be in the Sword Coast (where the published adventures are usually set).

#9 Skerrit Jul 28, 2015 7:01:39	I guess its good to be wrong first. Its a thing at least.
