I'm enjoying it as well, but I think they made a mistake by starting off hitting the ground running like they did. They should have done a slower introduction if they actually want this to really be a understandable representative of the game for new players.

Yes, if I used it, I would do something similar but digitally since I run online these days. It definitely works, it's just not as throw-down-and-play as I would like. Good ideas. Honestly, all it would take it a small amount of direction like you've laid out, but I'd rather they have a DM map...

I looked at the provided map and basically went "Yup, I'll have to rebuild/draw this myself if I want to use this." I don't understad it either. I don't think anyone is saying that every map needs to be a work of art, but it certainly needs to be more usable than this one is.

The map is nice but really doesn't give much information. I can't tell where the gallows are supposed to be and I certainly can't tell where they intend the Fog Gas patches to be either.

Of course they are getting paid for a professional production they are a part of. Just because that professional production happens to be a D&D Actual Play doesn't mean they are doing it for free.

I've used them in Roll20, it's just a quick upload. You always have to do some adjusting to get the grid how you want it, but it's pretty easy in my experience.

I wanted to confirm your confirmation. This is indeed the case.

I think this is probably accurate. It wouldn’t do to have promotional images of the cast cutting it up and then be like, “Join us in the realm of dread known as Ravenloft!”

Thanks! I had no idea he had a blog going until this thread. I've bookmarked it and I'm looking forward to delving into his musings.

Eberron feels like an actual place. I feel like I could step through a portal Isekai-style and imagine myself living there. I love how the setting leaves so many mysteries open and unexplained. I really appreciate the way religions and organizations mix as well as the take on corporations via...

No worries! Let me edit it to make it more clear. :)

That's exactly what I said in my post.

I'm sorry to hear that he passed. I got to speak with him shortly the one time I went to GenCon and I could feel his passion, not only for his wares but for gaming as a whole. The tabletop gaming hobby is diminished without his presence.

I don't think there is. Nothing that isn't built on hearsay or downright misinformation. I did some digging and I found the article I remember where Mercer says: So, I misremembered that Mercer shared the main story beats with the players* (he didn't), he leaves the "how they get there" open...

I believe CR has stated that they are aware of large story beats ahead of time, but that's so they can keep the game moving forward. It is certainly not scripted.
