Generally I want, assuming a level 1 start, to level up at the end of that first session. From there on, 2-5 sessions per level...

Yeah, and Heavy and Hand Crossbows.

I really enjoyed the book, interested to see the movie and what changes

Sure, but I'd argue that an adventure should sell itself as a standalone first, as a "here's a high-level module that a prospective GM...

Here’s a question (that might be better as its own thread) but for those of you who do milestone advancement, do the players know what...

I guess that is one of the inherent benefits of xp for gold or other concrete, non-combat rewards. If it is worthwhile for players to...
