You asked, so Dr. Homebrew delivered! After the huge response to the original Window Boxing episode, Josh is back with a hands-on, adventure-by-adventure breakdown — putting the framework into practice with Vaderin's Vault, the level 7 heist adventure from Keys from the Golden Vault. 🗝️✨This time it's all application. Josh walks through exactly how to lift, reskin, and rebuild a published module piece by piece:🚪 On-Ramps. How to get your party into the vault heist seamlessly, and what to do with the diadem MacGuffin if the built-in Patreon hook doesn't fit your world🎭 NPCs. Which characters are ready to lift as-is (hint: Nyxlana Vidorant is a gem) and which need a little extra work to shine🗺️ Location & Map. Why this vault might be the most "plug-and-play" location you'll find in any published adventure💰 Loot. The one place this module needs a homebrew assist, and how to fix it🚪 Off-Ramps. How to handle the adventure's multiple possible endings, and why you're always allowed to just... ignore all of themPlus a great connective tissue tip: tying Samphith Goldenbeard to Prisoner 13 (another Golden Vault adventure) for some real plot continuity between one-shots. 🔗If the first episode gave you the theory, this one hands you the toolkit. Perfect for any DM looking to run Keys from the Golden Vault — or any anthology adventure — as part of a living campaign instead of a one-off. 🎲🔥💬 Drop a comment: Have you run anything from Keys from the Golden Vault?
