Did you know that you can play in D&D Adventurers League games on Fantasy Grounds? Thanks to Wizards of the Coast and a couple of the guys within the Adventurer League (Chris Jernigan , Bryan McCray and David Russell), we are able to provide this to DM's for free with another purchase or with a $1 donation to the Save the Children Fund. It's been loaded in for play on Fantasy Grounds and should be ready to run with only minimal prep.

Thanks FSHSchmo. I didn't think to ask if you preferred I use your alias on the Social media posts or your real name. Let me know if I need to change it. I used what you had listed in the credits.

Also, feel free to post onto the FB and G+ sites. Your Signature on the threads here would make an awesome post if you were looking to spread the word far and wide.

This is awesome! Are there any plans to continue releasing future AL content as it's released by Wizards?

Hi there, I selected this andventure. Wen't to the check out section, agreed to donate 1 dollar, completed the purchase and everything but the product never arrived. Am I supposed to wait a Little longer than usual ? Am I doing something wrong?

YES, I did all the Settings>update stuff and then updated the software several times now and the adventure is not apearing on the list of adventures to load.

Thanks!

This is what you need to look for in your "Data Module Activation" window (accessed through Library -> Modules) in a 5E campaign:

I've run expeditions at a local gaming shop where i live for the last three seasons. Just getting ready to start Harried in Hillsfar on Sunday the 20th, we sat down and did character creation at the end of our last adventure and I've been using Fantasy Grounds to track everything about my players even though we don't play inside fantasy grounds. I make PCs for each of them, when they show up i throw them in the combat tracker, i've got there armor class, saves, equipment, anything i want to know... i roll initiative for the NPCs and then get all my players to roll their own init with their dice and enter in the info and we are off to the races...I use the combat tracker to keep turn order, and roll attacks and damage for my mobs. I get so much more as a dm using FG combat tracker because all the abilities of the mobs are right there... multiattacks, claws, bites, weapons, spells, and special attacks they have, and images if i want to show them what they are fighting.... i no longer have to remember or track RECHARGE abilities.. so many bonuses to using it.

I've made modules for ddex1-7,13,14 and ddex2-1,2,3,7 and 9. The latter i really simplified by just entering the encounters and using a PDF reader to guide the modules. So that said you can get a really good idea as to HOW AWESOME THIS IS FOR ME!!

FANTASTIC JOB!!! I love that you made ACTUAL MAPS and didn't cheap out and just use the crappy black and white supplied grid maps. The maps are simple and totally useful (looks like you used campaign cartographer as i did for mine lol). I just finished reading this module today at work in prep for sundays game. Its gonna be nice having the story built in again so i wont have to switch to the pdf... so happy!

Thanks so much for doing this, saves me a boatload of time entering the information, and getting the maps and tokens.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I realize this post is a little long, but wanted to express my appreciation for the time and effort put into this, especially making the maps.... fantastic job.

GREAT WORK AND THANKS ONE MORE TIME!

That's so cool! I'm happy to see my maps in use. heh If you want a second one of the maw room without the "oh, I bet it's on this wall" part let me know. I can add some extra 'wall' behind it since you're cutting things out.

My plan is roll the 8 side dice and introduce the room as a basement area behind the door I randomly rolled ;) should work out well ;)

Any plans to release more of the third season AL modules? The question was never answered. I would gladly pay $5 each for them. The first one was so well done with beautiful maps. It would be a huge time saver for me!

WotC doesn't really let these adventures out into the wild for some reason. Only reason Hillsfar was released was because it was available for free from their website to promote the Dragon+ app. All the others are protected, hidden and kept away from the gaming public unless you happen to run a game.

Once you run one of them you'll get all of them (the downloads page is protected with a standard password that seems to work forever). I still have access to all the HotDQ stuff. I think they just do this so the average player doesn't have access to the adventure beforehand (given that it's organized play).

Any plans for Shackles of Blood to be released on FG now that it's been released via Dragon+?

Shall I whip it up real quick? :)

We *are* able to provide this. I'm working with the guys that put together the last one and will post back once it is completed. It then has to go through a standard review process. ETA: 3 weeks (hopefully sooner)
