Rules as written (RAW), if the Player Characters pick up a longsword wielded by the Dragonarmy soldiers, do they get the extra 1d4 damage?

Generally, how do you guys deal with that?

The party has defeated several of these soldiers already, so there seems to ba an abundance of these swords lying around, and each of the martial characters already picked up a few, some of which they also intend to sell.

Is the extra damage inherent in the sword or the wielder? I have read the argument that since the extra damage is listed under the longsword action, it is a property of the wielder, and it is not listed as equipment.

How did your session go this week? Grab an ale and tell us a tale!

Hello everyone, I will be running sotdq for the first time. I like to give my players a little bit of information about the campaigns we will be playing, so they can better prepare their characters. However, I'm not completely sure what my players should and shouldn't know beforehand with the information in the book, besides them needing to make a character that is somehow connected to Ispin Greenshield. What do you recommend me telling?

Are there also other things you might recommend me telling my players in regard to character creation?

Edit: Thank you for the suggestions, I will be working on writing a small summary on things such as the cataclysm, religion, organizations and some of the other information in the book.

I want to keep Lord Soth as the final boss of the campaign, but I feel like moving him makes the fight against Werstern Kern less exciting. Any ideas?

If you are running this campaign and incoporating weapons getting stuck when the Baaz petrify, what rule do you use to have the characters retrieve a weapon? For example, a strength check, etc...
