Hello, next year I will likely be going to a community college in my city, and therefore will keep living with my parents. I have a few reasons I want to live with my mom full time once this happens. My dad likes being in charge (no problem with that, but I want to live somewhere I have more freedom and can grow to be more independent), I want to help my mom around the house (she's single while my dad is remarried), I want my sisters to have separate rooms (they share a room at my dad's house and if I moved out one could take my room; my sisters don't like sharing a room), and I am tired of going back and forth between houses. I love my dad and would still visit him and my step mom a ton, honestly I think being apart would encourage me to find more ways to spend time with him. My dad would be really bummed about this though, and I'm planning to tell him I can't do the back and fourth anymore and that it would really hurt my mom's feelings if I stayed full time with him. I just want to bring this up in a gentle way without it making him feel like I love my mom more than him. Advice would be very appreciated.

My players are going to be headed to Neverwinter eventually. I know I could try to just get them to go to Waterdeep or just use Waterdeep itself and just change the name, but I like Neverwinter as a setting a lot and find it more compelling than Waterdeep.

What I’m thinking is keeping the Cassalanters (changed to worshipping Tiamat for a player’s backstory, they’d have a winter home in Neverwinter thanks to the river and use that as their cover story). I’d also keep Manshoon, who wants to gain control of Neverwinter while it’s in this vulnerable growing stage.

I’m cutting out Xanathar and probably Jarlaxle because I don’t want there to be too many faction because I’ll be adding a few more Neverwinter specific ones. Of course we have Neverember, who is trying to find the stone so he can a locate the gold (it’s in Neverwinter). He wants this gold to fund imperial pursuits to expand into the surrounding region. There’s also the Son’s of Alagondar, specifically the extremists who want to fund a rebellion that will put who they believe as a true heir on the throne.

I’ll have a few more smaller factions but those are the four major ones. I’ll be using aspects of the Alexandrian Remix, and level it up a bit since my players will be level 6. Do y’all have any advice?
