1. Can you talk a little more about the 600 games? Just A little? First why I started counting sessions. I discover here and in real life people is over or underestimated how many games they ran. Second, Adventure League gives out DM Rewards. The quality has changed over the years. They used to...

Side base is interesting. But I would not even do that. The FLEE for your lives should only be for players ONLY. And only when it not for the FINAL BOSS. I have even allowed for individual players to flee, and still shook my head as other did not.
