Space is really the issue. There's just only so much page count. I remember back when Paizo was first doing their AP's in Dungeon and every month they'd put out a pdf of the maps. A web-enhancement map pack would be absolutely perfect for a lot of the AP's. Then again, for the AP's, there's...

Again, you have to remember though, for some of us, maps are meant to be played on. They are not meant solely for the DM. Which means locations of NPC starting points (not carved in stone, but, just the likely spots) is really useful. I mean, good grief, most room descriptions include the...

@Lanefan, I like what you have to say and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. :D A couple of quibbles though. What's wrong with isometric? Again, I play on VTT, so, isometric maps are a ton of fun when done right. Really builds the scene. Which, thinking about it, does play into...

Heh. Actually, and don't hate me, but, I used Gemini to make a VTT token of a halfling monk. The AI generated image gave the halfling six toes on one foot. So, that became his name.

Same boat. The only 2024 character I've gotten to play was in a short lived campaign where I got to play a halfling monk named Jammy Sixtoes. I really liked him.

HOLY CRAP. You've played over 20 characters in about a year? I'm not sure if I've actually played 20 characters ever.

To be fair, Primeval Thule reminds me a lot of Steven Erikson's Malazan series. Which isn't quite S&S, but, it's pretty close. Far closer to something like the Black Company.

That's the problem though. It really isn't. Other than a big bite attack, a T-Rex is a minor baddy. It can't fly, it has no magical abilities, it doesn't regenerate or breathe fire or any of the million other things it could do. Heck, it doesn't even cause fear. So, how much CR can it...

Heh. Having spent some years driving in South Korea, I'm pretty aware of just how bad drivers can be. Wow. That was eye opening.

I'm really sorry, I know I've been banging this drum for far too long, but, I've been noodling around a bit and I think I may have a really clear way of explaining myself. When talking about @Maxperson's driving, he said this: Which, to me, perfectly encapsulates the point I've been making...

One could always hope, but, given the history of the past ten years in D&D, I wouldn't hold my breath. D&D is and always will be, shackled to the corpses of dead authors. And any attempt to even loosen those shackles will be immediately shouted down. It has zero chance of success.

Umm... correction. You may not play it that way, but, I at least try to. And, to be fair, when you don't have long rest classes, it does get a LOT easier to play 6-8 encounters.
