Not THAT author.
Low-level hook of the week:

The party is hired by the city's Potters Guild to help deal with a rogue potter who is crafting and selling outside of the Guild.

Reward: 300gp

They are reluctantly amenable to talking, but would rather the party 'remove' the problem.

My google search of the day: "what is the typical size of a coffin?"

A recent Discord exchange between myself and a player.

DM: On the last night during your travel through the Asari wood, you are on wathc and you notice a raven fly down from a tree and perch upon a rock. As it stands and looks at you, it is joined by several more.

“There is a direct line between getting out of bed and dying. I knew someone who got out of bed one morning and 47 years later to the day, dead.”

“I don’t suppose this person was also known to drink water?”

“You know, I never considered the connection. The world is out to get you, I swear.”

The moment when you identify the perfect "troll" for your players for the coming #DnD game just before Christmas...

You come to a door that is small. It is shorter than normal and you need to stoop to get through if you are not a gnome. Inside you find a room that is much much larger...

Travel to the reddish brown temple and seek out the blushing equus caballus for guidance.

She holds the key to the dragon’s lair.

The Shadow Empire is controlled by an old (but not ancient) Adult Blue Dragon.

His Dragonkin followers maintain a strict social hierarchy with the Blue Dragonkin holding any positions of power.

Other chromatic Dragonkin make up the 'middle class' of merchants, artisans, etc.

It is a well appointed dungeon bedroom. A metal frame bed that looks more comfortable than any inn you’ve seen. A dressing table with mirror. A wardrobe made of rare wood. A potted plant. A bear skin rug that really ties the room together.

Me as DM: Of course I would never make something up in game and not write it down for later.

My Notes: "Stone door, moss, juicy carved in it"

You find yourself tumbling through a tight and twisting conduit. There are balls of light flashing by as you twist and turn. Suddenly you emerge, lying on the floor and looking up at Thennoran who smiles: “welcome back to Sigil, we didn’t expect you so soon”. And that is where we will pause tonight.

Quote of the night:

Well, I will try and be an ethical necromancer.

The City of Ilya sits along the Faldir River, a minor trading point for towns and villages north and west of it.

It also sits atop the intersection of ancient lay lines that cause magic to act a little funny.

Run by the Council of Elders, and lead by the First Elder.
