Poll - Help me come up with a late April adventure idea (Level 17-20+)

Hey all!

Now that Vault of Terror is officially out, our next big release is set for next Friday, The Queen of the Shadows. I'm mid-way through drafting that and then I've got The Treasure and Awaken on the docket.

However, I haven't started putting together any ideas for late April y...

Let's Create Some Heroes for The Hand of the Eight

At this point, I think it's safe to say that The Hand of the Eight is the bonafide winner of the "DMDave writes a comic" poll that I'm running.

But that got me thinking. While The Hand of the Eight is a great story and all, it's missing one thing: characters! So I need to ...

So you voted for Dark Fantasy (with some Swashbuckling).

Then you voted for sixth level.

Then the DMG gave me a bunch of cool random results involving a cursed humanoid obsessed with bringing a loved one back to life who uses famine to cause chaos (and might be seeking revenge).
