I’ve been reading a lot of OSR adventures and I’m not sure I’m able to enjoy these ( 5e) anymore. Upon reading all that occurs to me is:
Why is the layout of this Prison so simple? Why do they give you a prescribed infiltration plan? Isn’t the fun in these making your own plan and having it go wrong? Why so much boxed text? Why is the layout so verbose?

The layout of the prison is simple since it's a panopticon, so that the cells can all be observed from one central location. It was created to hold only a very few high-security prisoners, so it doesn't need that many cells, but the cells need to be observed at all times.

Just came across this on Facebook. Totally thought it was a parody at first. Can WotC not read the room?

Promoting their new cryptocurrency?

Promoting their new cryptocurrency?

I’m not sure any time is a good time for WotC to promote crypto, but changing your logo to a coin after the money grab attempts of the past month is just stupid dumb.

I don't understand the objection?

The coin or vault door reminds me of the Greendale flag, but that's about it
