Hi everyone!
I DM a game of D&D 5e once a week for a group of a friends. Recently, they expressed great interest in playing a Naval/High Seas/Pirate-Themed game which I too thought was a great idea. So over the course of about one hour I cooked up a quick module taking place in the "Sea of Fallen Stars" (and also made up some relatively balanced 5e stats for the beasties that live there.)
It consisted of their ship running aground on a deserted island and being destroyed, and a short dungeon on the island. This all ended up being great fun, so much that the players are now really attached to the characters they made. So much so that they now expect me to turn it into a campaign. And now that I need to hook them in to a new adventure on the Inner Sea, I need ideas.
I actually wanted to know if other DMs out there know some good sources for adventure hooks in such a setting. Or ideas for an adventure themselves. I already looked up lots of lore and background about that region of the Forgotten Realms, but I still haven't really thought up a good adventure hook that would give them a ship and a reason to explore the islands, and I also couldn't find many adventures written for the Sea of Fallen Stars setting. It could really be material from any role-playing game out there as long as it seems fun and pirate-y.
