Updated Modron Art?

A lot of the "official" Modron art is from earlier editions, especially as you get higher in Modron hierarchy.

Some of them have very quality fan art, but it'll have a really cool Quarton but no septon for example. So then piece-mealing the art is a little jarring, ESPECIALLY for such a rigid, specific hierarchy that's all about order.

Is there any free source with a full set of Modron art?

Dragon Queens Hoard

Hey everyone!

I'm doing the common change where players can gather the hand / eye of Vecna and the natural part to put the hand (in my opinion) is in the avernus chapter

In the descent into avernus book we already get the canon Arkan the cruel and his two allies there, and this book mentions the walkway to Tiamat. So I figured maybe they can walk to plead to Tiamat and fight for the hand of Vecna

But the three of them are CR 6, 11, and 16

An absolute breeze for a party of 5 level 16 players. Any ideas for a fourth character to add to their troupe to help pad it out some? Especially if it's a character with stats from another book or something

Cat Parade?

Hey! I wasn't sure if this would be the best place to put this, so if there's anywhere more fitting please let me know!

My roommate recently got laid off and has been very down in the dumps, her birthday is coming up and so I wanted to do something special for her!

She loves cats, so I wanted to do a little cat show / parade surprise thing for her, where people can drive down a road and do little meet and greets with their cats, or just drive by! And we could meet a bunch of people and see some kitties. Plus we just moved so it could be a great way to meet local people

I don't want to just post any times / addresses, but if it's something people are interested in, if they could message me, I could make some goodie bags or something for their trouble and we can try to schedule something!

Best way to run a character swap fight?

So for some background, the end of an upcoming chapter I am going to have the players face off against a God of chaos/madness, so ideally this is a little chaotic in the climax of a chapter, NOT a gimmick that will go multiple sessions and through a dungeon or something

- option A: Players Switch Character sheets and fully play another persons character.
This seems okay, it's the default. Just trying to see if we can find something better.

- option B: Players switch character bodies, keeping their same mental statistics levels / proficiencies BUT are in a new body. So the fighter may not have the longsword to use on the Wiz's body. The wizard won't have a focus while being in the fighters body.
So this could bring out some collaboration, or fun things like random weapons that were in your background that were never touched potentially actually coming up. I like this one in theory but will probably only impact the first round as everyone just free action picks up the object they want. Plus it may be the most complicated to explain which could bring the moment down.

- option C: Players switch characters but DO NOT get other character sheets. So the wizard is in control of the cleric, and is operating as best they can using their prior knowledge of what the cleric can do / has done.
This one seems like it could really fun, and rewards the players for have playing together for so long. All the players are pretty attentive and experienced, so I think it could work. At another table where the players are less attentive / experienced, this could be super frustrating.

I also plan on determining who would be swapping and making it thematic, for example we have a lawful religious wizard and and a chaotic warlock, which could be fun to see have to swap for a fight . Or do you guys think dice should decide?

Any favorites or other ideas? I want to capture the chaotic nature of something like this at the table while keeping the fight fun. I plan on tuning the encounter a bit easier than what they've done before because there'll be some efficiency loss swapping.
