It was fun, my players had a blast. I'm running Tyranny of Dragons right now and they are on the travel part now, going from Baldur's Gate towards Waterdeep. I was a little hesitant at first to run it because I had read a lot of people said ti was boring and just to skip it. Though I really didn't want to just hand-wave an entire chapter. I decided to dig into all my dad's old DnD Modules, along with my uncles' stuff and found that there were actually a lot more little towns that littered the road that they were traveling on. I did a bit of digging and built up the towns so that they had places to stock up, and even places to solve some simple quests to keep them occupied. I also made a random encounters table too that I roll on to have something happen once a day at least. I planned out when they would hit places and what towns had simple missions. It was actually a lot of fun. Though, they did point out that unfortunately with all my planning I forgot maps of these places lol. So I'm going to draw a few before our next session.
There was a ton of laughter, a ton of shenanigans, some stealth, some non-combat solving of issues, learning about the area, overall they had a really good time. I gave one of my players a homebrewed item that, while a little overpowered right now, will be a nice fall back to have in the future; that and it suits their personality quite a bit lol. They finally got to use it and they were ecstatic about it. I'm having a ton of fun running it and they are having a blast just running amuck and doing things how they want lol.
