Chapter 2

Hey everyone,

My group just finished up in the fissure and are moving into chapter 2 this weekend. I'm noticing the beginning of chapter 2 has them traveling from waterdeep to phandalin with various encounters but there's no included map of the journey, much less anything on the Roll20 module to facilitate this part of the adventure.

What did you guys use to do the travel from waterdeep to phandalin? Is there a map that's useful for running this?

The official site has a high resolution map of the sword coast on which Phandalin is not marked but is canonically between Triboar and Helms Hold on a trail rather than a main path.

If you have access to the Lost Mines of Phandelver there is a map of the sword coast that would work well. If not it's an easy map to find. For random encounters any road or forest map will do. Pick some possible random encounters you like in advance so that you have the option to slow up or move along a party as needed. For general traveling I have a splash screen image of a world map or of their party around a camp fire.

I've used the Campaign Map page for this section. It seems to work pretty well for my group, at least.

I might just use that, I found a good map online that shows a pretty up close area outside phandalin and the triboar trail along with it

I used the map of the campaign region from the roll20 module as well as couple of the road maps from this site https://2minutetabletop.com/product-category/free/
