Beat me to it.

It's what, one checkpoint an hour, I believe? So the ratio of checkspoints:adventures is already established. An alternative is breaking checkpoints down into smaller sub-units, like friggin' cryptocurrency or something, but that way lies madness. Like, it's so ridiculous it doesn't bear...

It occurs to me there may be an adventure-design issue with this new reward paradigm. Currently, you can incentivize choices or behaviors in an adventure by tying an XP award to them -- stuff like keeping your word, helping an NPC, etc. F'rinstance, in the CCC adventure I wrote...

I know you know this, but: You don't have to play AL adventures as AL adventures, of course. Even if it isn't an adventure path, four or eight hours (or more!) of a pre-written adventure gives you a nice core around which to build something larger. This is assuming you're already coming up with...

There are Tier 4 AL adventures, y'know. I know it's not an extended adventure path or anything, but....

Hard to say, but, I mean, it's worth a shot.

As did I!

Wait, Return of the Lizard King isn't AL-legal, is it?

I didn't pay much attention to the goats, and my interest in dinosaur mounts is largely contingent on being able to play a Batiri goblin in season 7, but I did make two good purchases at Fai Chen's last weekend. One was Price On My Head, for 50 gp. This cert says that someone's out to kill my...

I whole-heartedly agree that this year's Open was better than The Soulbound Tomb of last year. I've complained to anyone who's made the mistake of asking me about those puzzles last year -- I didn't like how out-of-character they were/felt, and how they interrupted a cool thing (soloing a green...

Man, when I read the name of the thread, I was like "Please don't be Gamex, please don't be Gamex... damn, Gamex."

Well, this is making me feel better about having seven AL PCs. Ajax Wormrider, Giant-Slayer, Eye-Strider, Knight of the Broken Vault, Hero of Undermountain is my halfling Battle Master 8/Swashbuckler 4 Folk Hero. He's a action-before-thought kinda guy, and I love just diving into dangerous...

I'm... pretty sure the only rewards you can get from an adventure are the actual rewards listed in the Rewards section, unless it's a relatively meaningless, mechanics-free roleplaying thing, like keeping a hat from the closet in Death House.

Expect table variation.

Really?
