This resource has been essential for a busy, first time DM!
In a burst of overconfidence, I decided to DM Waterdeep: Dragonheist for my six friends while simultaneously moving across the country and starting a new job. WDDH is a great story, but it leaves out details in these faction missions that would leave most scrambling to piece together a cohesive narrative even if you have the spare time.
Enter: Expanded Faction Missions! This resource gives run-ready details on every faction mission listed in WDDH. It has already saved me hours of work, and will probably save me many more as we continue through the story. It lists page numbers in the WDDH module for easy reference, gives details on locations and people that are essential for these missions, and is one of the better written modules out there.
We ran the Dark Harvest mission last night (spooky scarecrows for Halloween anyone?), and it was a rousing success. One of my players is an experienced DM and she complemented me on how well put together this mission felt from the player's end. This resource is my secret weapon!
In short, the Expanded Faction Missions is absolutely worth the purchase. The author has made the PDF available for "Pay What You Can", but I recommend giving him his recommended price at $4.99 or more. You won't regret it!
