Some people just seem like gluttons for punishment. It is not cool to victim blame, but at what point do you need to examine your patterns to see if you can break free of what makes you miserable?

Well, sure. That is the specific thread of this convo I was exploring

Yes. I prefer a bunch of different styles in a book like this. Some of this art is the most interesting I have seen in a WotC product since I returned to D&D.

I made this: into this: and have another smaller one in the works. . .

I've definitely been there.

I am little confused by this problem. Assuming they Dash (and no difficult terrain) every round, Group A gets there in the 4th round. Group B gets there in at the end of the 4th round Group C gets there in 5 rounds. Not sure why you'd use overland movement for such a relatively short distance...

I don't think you are wrong, but I also think what @Dausuul is saying makes sense as well. Yes, you want the players to pay attention to some basic details of the room (rough size, if there is a river of lava running through it) before a threat is engaged with, but upon seeing potentially...

Yes, personally, I would start with the most prominent thing in the room being described, whatever it is. If that is 8 orcs with scimitars jumping up from their card game, I'd start with that (and maybe the table with the cards and coins), and only make reference to the other features of the...

I was looking through some old Dungeon mags for an adventure to possibly run and thought I'd snap pix of a few examples of boxed text for us to look out (with the caveat that without the context of the adventure some of these might be better or worse than how they seem by themselves). #1 is...

My current setting is a mash of ancient world and medieval stuff (as fits D&D). As the central setting location is a Republic that arose after many years of chaos after the fall of a conquering foreign empire, I have taken events and cultural ideas from Ancient Athens, early Roman republic...

Okay, so I completely rewrote the "Welcome to Makrinos" section and removed almost all the detailed info that got us in the weeds with the republic's various elected offices and blah blah blah. Instead, I took advice from @Swarmkeeper and another friend not on ENworld and went with an approach...

"Well, I've never heard of it. . ." is not the rock solid evidence for something not existing that you think it is, buddy.

I find it useful if written well and concisely. 3 to 5 sentences at most and then other details listed to be shared if the party looks closer/investigates/interacts.

Turns out I do have that issue! (I need to save it along with the issue of Dragon I got a letter printed in). Coincidentally, it is also the issue where Perkins left being editor of Dungeon to take over WotC’s two Star Wars mags they printed at the time
