I really think Saltmarsh may be the best 5e product to date for new DMs or newish DMs who want to begin to build their own campaign world. The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh is a very nice adventure. Drowned sailors stir to unnatural life, animated by dark magic and sent forth in sear� This is my first post being new to Reddit and I hope my fellow dungeon masters find it useful.
In that way, Ghosts of Saltmarsh (GoS) is like Tales from the Yawning Portal, the other D&D 5e book that leans hard into nostalgia by updating seven old adventures, but GoS also includes 40+ pages of crunchy content like rules for ship building. And it would be easy enough to say that if you liked Yawning Portal you�ll like Saltmarsh � They have the use of the Ghost and used it to smuggle goods for Gellan to The Styes setting up later things.
A series of desert adventures seems like a cool direction they could head next.
