Phandelver and Below no story category

[Okku]

Hello, i just bought the Phandelver and Below adventure for FGU and i notice that there is no story category, the only way to access the story content is through the reference manual. Is it a bug ? I tried unload and reload the module and it's the same no story category.

No, it's not a bug. All recent adventures are reference manual only. Story entries were dropped some time ago in favour of reference manual. Everything that would have been in stories are now in the reference (and a whole lot more).

Oh ok thx for the answer.

Edit : I just noticed that there is only one map now no DM Map and Player Map just one map is this normal as well ? Because for the Redbrand Hideout the pit, the big red square with a T in the middle, is visible by the players which i find odd and i have no way to hide it. Same goes for the Poster-Map-Player i cant show it to my players beacause it has all the important locations marked while in the previous Phandelver module you had two map version each time (one for the DM and one for the players). I did not checked the next chapters but if it's the same and the traps and secrets are visible to the players this is a serious problem dont you think ?

I'm not able to look at the module at the moment, but the map should have the GM information on a separate layer that is not shared with the players and only visible to the GM.

There are several other similar notes throughout the module concerning how certain other maps are layered with full instructions on how to use those maps; so read through the module first before starting to play.
