The Best of Sly Flourish 2017

by Mike on 8 January 2018

Whatever else was going on in the rest of the world, 2017 was a wonderful year for our wonderful hobby. We here at Sly Flourish continued to try our best to help DMs run the best D&D games they could.

In today's article we're going to take a look back over 2017 here at Sly Flourish; looking at what articles received the most visits, which ones I am most proud of, and which tips seemed to resonate with the most DMs.

Fantastic Adventures

This year I published Sly Flourish's Fantastic Adventures, a book of ten short 5e adventures for characters of levels 1 to 5. These short adventures go hand-in-hand with the 2016 release of Sly Flourish's Fantastic Locations.

Following in the philosophy of the Lazy Dungeon Master these two books aim to do the heavy lifting for your D&D games with the full intent that you're going to customize them to fit your own game.
