I run a large number of games where there's basically no prep required for deeply engaging and exciting gameplay. One thing I really...

It's a WOTC published setting, especially where the Wildemount book has been added on to and fleshed out for publication. Mercer may...

Red Hand of Doom is basically a Front in D&D before AW even released. It’s a wordy in places and needs a little work but is so much...

This touches on another thing I’m finding a lot of in modules, overly wordy descriptions of motives and justifications, plots and...
