The Hangover: A Real Balor Party

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Description:

Every adventure must end, and sometimes even the bravest heroes decide to hang up their cloaks rather than suffer terrible death at the maw of some monster. For the adventurers who survive long enough, a time-honored tradition has developed: the Balor Party—an epic send-off for an adventurer looking to cash in the treasure and settle in for a life of peace and prosperity.

This adventure starts in medias res with the characters awakening in their suite at El Minster’s Palace after a wild night of partying in Vas'legas. The group awakens to find they have no memory of the night before, and it’s up to them to figure out what the heck happened—including the fate of their missing companion.

The adventure is designed for five or six 3rd – 4th level characters and is well-suited as a one-shot for a bachelor or bachelorette party or a birthday party. The adventure includes special rules that use a "Mad Libs" style approach to generating character backgrounds. The adventure is easily incorporated into any of the main D&D storylines or settings.

About the author:

This adventure was written by Greg Bilsland, Senior Producer for the Fifth Edition D&D. 

Greg Bilsland worked at Wizards of the Coast on Dungeons & Dragons for 9 years, during which time he launched Dungeons & Dragons's Extra Life program, D&D Lair Assault, Dice, Camera, Action!, and managed Dragon magazine and Dragon+ and the D&D Next Playtest process. Among his previous published works are Monster Manual 3, Vor RukothForge of the Dawn Titan, Attack of the Tyrantclaw, Vault of the Dracolich, Confrontation at Candlekeep, and most recently, Fee Fly Foe Fund

In the author's words:

"I originally designed this adventure for a friend's bachelor party. I was trying to think of a way to add some flair to a one shot that would make the adventure more memorable than the typical dungeon delve or one-shot. I've sometimes heard the advice that we shouldn't try to write humorous advenutres, the idea being that players should bring the humor to the game.  I agree with that in principles, but it doesn't mean an adventure writer can't set up some pretty humorous situations for the players. For me, the result is this adventure."

Very good ideas here, I felt like it could use a bit better of a climax and less just running from place to place so I changed some stuff around and added a bit. But great setting and ideas to run with, love the puns and jokes; totally worth the $2.50! [...]

I was looking for something to run for a St. Patrick's Day oneshot and happened upon this and thought "close enough". Ran it for two different groups back to back and everyone had a blast. Easy to follow and great humor - though don' [...]

My players really responded to the prompts and had a ton of laughs, even though I've transposed it to a two-session story in Fantasy Grounds as opposed to the live party group it seemed intended for. In terms of DM prep work, this module didn' [...]

Ran this when one of my players was getting married- they had an absolute blast. My only comment would be that you may want to tweak the ending so there is a proper duel with (NO SPOILERS). IT was laugh out loud funny. A must-play romp of a one-shot. [...]

Ran this online with a particularly energetic and engaged group who I knew would be receptive to ridiculousness, puns, references and wacky NPCs. They commented that they felt the story was well tied together and there were many outbursts of laughter. [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
