I'll soon start my new #DnD 5E campaign, which will be set in Ptolus - the massive city setting originally published by Monte Cook during the 3E era. I've always wanted to do something with this setting, but I never had the opportunity to do so - until now.

So, has anyone here run a Ptolus campaign, and if so what are your experiences? Any advice you can give me?

And is there anything I should watch out for with the 5E adaption in particular?

I think I remember starting reading their campaign notes at some point, but I didn't finish them! Thanks for reminding me!

I had a blast with it, back in the fuck-4.0 days, to the point that I kitbashed my first mini from a dozen+ parts to make my leonid Takuan. Of course, that was decades ago now, so I wish you luck and I'm sure y'all will enjoy the beloved relic! ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿค“
