The intent was for Markus to threaten/attack the PC's if they return Emilia's advances. This shows that, while the townsfolk don't mind that their spouses are with other people, jealousy regarding their new love interests is still present. I thought it would clear that he was starting a bar...

I'm glad you at least find it interesting! It was a lot of fun to write and everyone I playtested it with had a blast. Level 2 to me should be pretty happy-go-lucky, leave the grit and grime for higher levels, you know? The magical effects of the water can lead to some interesting RP dynamics...

The instructions for content submission have a pretty strict cap on word count that limits the adventures to being somewhat short. I hope there's enough demand to accommodate longer adventures in time, but I suppose that's up to us as the patrons. I hope you'll give "The Business of Emotion" a...

Woo! I'm excited to see "The Business of Emotion" in action. Scary to think that it'll be receiving *feedback* soon! Also, minor thing, but there's a misspelling on the patreon site itself for the adventure sample. You have "Landidor" but the village's name is "Lanidor".

Sorry, I made use of the Reckless Attack ability as well. My typical first attack would be a Reckless Attack to gain ADV on the attack (also granting ADV to attacks against me) coupled with the GWM feat's -5/+10. Looking back on it, I think that we really only ruled the Reckless Attack being...

He was a half-orc barbarian, I'm not sure if it was a racial ability or what (don't have my PHB handy) but he got an EXTRA damage die on crits already, so he'd do 6d6+15 at level 8. 2d6 for his normal maul damage, 2d6 for the crit via the standard rules and 2d6 from his racial ability. I...

Hmm, we didn't interpret it that way. We played a session where I could do it all the time and it felt really cheesy, so we dialed it back to being the first real attack of the round. It made sense to me because you can only grant ADV on attacks once, so you should only be able to reap the...

For the record, and if anyone was on the fence about submitting something, it was a great experience working with James on the editing front. The Business of Emotion was the first adventure I've written and he was pretty patient with me as we worked on the final formatting and content edits...

That's a lot more elegant a solution than bumping his stats by 10 (!?!) points just because... Plus, if you give it limitations, there's a chance for the NPC's luck to run out at the worst possible time.

I recently played a barbarian with GWM at level 8. My DM ruled (I think correctly) that the GWM -5/+10 could only be used on my first attack, essentially making it a once per round ability. Even with that, adding in Savage Attack I consistently hit and dealt pretty serious damage. The ability...
