where?
On the Sly Flourish Discord! I do one for every video and we live chat about it.
This video was great, by the way. I'm definitely gonna use this chapter.
They also talked a bit about encounter building. How, especially at later levels, the XP budget increases but monster power increases too. I am hopeful!

Okay, so the new 'Moderate' which used to be 'Hard' calls out that without healing and other resources, it could be a challenge, where as the new 'Difficult' should be a challenge even with full resources.
Also interesting that above level 10, they are increasing encounter difficulty from both ends, in increasing the XP budget and making the same CR monsters hit harder.
All in all, seems that the new method is a) really making single encounter days a possibility and b) more focused on making memorable encounters through other factors rather than just the straight number of monsters.
Can't wait to get my hands on all this and dig in.

When they started ragging on railroading I was relieved...only for them to nudge, nudge, wink, wink their way back to justifying railroading. Ugh.
I'd bet huge dollars the vast majority of tables play "railroady" games.....that said, it's a scale, not a switch. I think most tables play the story the GM "writes".

Railroading can be a good skill, it's better to ensure there are multiple rails when it's used however.
