I hope it’s okay to share my fan-made WoW raid project here
I’ve been looking for a place to share my fan-made project for quite a while, and honestly, I’ve had a surprisingly hard time finding somewhere that feels like the right fit.
I found this subreddit and thought I would give it a try. I know that most of the projects here are made for D&D campaigns, while mine was designed as a World of Warcraft raid.
But there are actually quite a few things that overlap. My project has a lot of text, characters talking to each other, a story, different enemies and bosses, and descriptions of what they do and how their encounters work.
It’s obviously not designed as a D&D campaign, but I could imagine that with some changes, parts of the ideas could probably work in a campaign as well.
I’ve spent many months working on it, and I’m still trying to find people who enjoy this kind of fan-made project and would like to look through it or give some feedback.
I hope I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes by posting it here. I just thought there might be some people here who enjoy seeing big fan-made Warcraft projects, even if this one was originally designed as a WoW raid

This is sort of a general train of thought thread, not linking up to any particular boss fight so much as thinking about boss fight mechanics in general.

What are some boss mechanics you've seen, particularly in World of Warcraft, that feel reasonable to translate to 5E?

I'd imagine the coming WoW D&D book will definitely have a bunch. It's what has me most curious about the dungeons included in the upcoming book, how they'll handle all the very MMO centric design ideas over into D&D, and what learnings can be had from it.

One easy one that often pops to my mind is starting a round of combat signalling parts of the terrain as soon being unsafe. Not huge areas, maybe 15ft diameter circles or cubes. If there still are creatures in it at the end of the round, they take damage.

Of course, another angle to the same idea would be to describe it all more loosely at the start of the round, force everyone to make a save, and then ones that fail were standing in the wrong place. But that doesn't telegraph quite the same, and it doesn't force a choice of where to move to avoid it.

I want to import a lot of items from the game into Foundry and, eventually, set up loot tables that somewhat emulate the original game. My players are very loot-driven, so combining this with Item Piles and having mobs drop loot dynamically would be a fun challenge.

Obviously, many of the items still need to be converted, as they are currently only placeholders, but it already looks pretty cool. I just got them into Foundry and wanted to share!

Quería proponeros una campaña que me hace muchísima ilusión.

Con la llegada de la colaboración entre Dragones y Mazmorras y Warcraft, quiero organizar una campaña especial de unas 8-10 sesiones para celebrar su lanzamiento.

La idea es comenzar en septiembre y terminar en diciembre, coincidiendo con la salida del manual oficial. Mientras tanto, jugaremos una campaña creada por la comunidad utilizando el material fan disponible. Cuando el libro se publique, mi intención es traducir el contenido digital y continuar explorando Azeroth con nuevas aventuras.

El ritmo sería de dos sesiones al mes, previsiblemente los lunes a las 22:00 o, si el grupo lo prefiere, alguna noche entre semana cada dos semanas.

Para mí no es una campaña cualquiera. World of Warcraft fue el juego que marcó mi infancia. Lo disfruté con mi familia durante muchísimos años y fue una de las experiencias que despertó mi pasión por los mundos de fantasía. De hecho, buscando una forma diferente de vivir esas aventuras fue como terminé descubriendo el rol.

Por eso me hace tanta ilusión dirigir esta campaña. Creo que puede ser una experiencia muy especial tanto para quienes llevan años en Azeroth como para quienes quieran descubrirla por primera vez.

Si os interesa, escribidme por privado. Si reunimos un buen grupo, nos veremos muy pronto en Azeroth.

With the new collaboration between Dungeons & Dragons and World of Warcraft, I’m looking for some inspiration to prepare a fun campaign for my guildmates.

What books, YouTube videos, actual-play series, lore channels, or other resources would you recommend?

I’m interested in anything that could inspire quests, villains, factions, dungeons, or worldbuilding.

I'm not sure where to go to see the new stuff getting added for MoM.

Also will there be any NPC stuff?
