Hoard of the Dragon Queen: Fixing Castle Naerytar (Old School 5e — Ep 4)

Castle Naerytar is the 6th chapter of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, the first book of a two book D&D 5e Adventure including The Rise of Tiamat. I break down the adventure chapter by chapter to show you how to run it in a more old school way, bridging the gap to the OSR for 5e players.If you want to see what's coming next in the D&D game I'm building, my Patreon has all the work-in-progress: patreon.com/Joethelawyer📍 Substack (weekly companion essays): Discord (community): Podcast (Spotify, Apple, Rumble — all platforms): search “Joethelawyer's Analog Mancave"Channel membership ($0.99/month for early access and members-only updates on the game): the channel I cover D&D 5e, OSR, old-school D&D, tabletop RPG advice, classic dungeon design, and what makes great sessions actually feel great.
