The more I think about this, the more I like your idea @Micah Sweet . The starter set has the guidewires and semaphores to get you through your first time running an adventure. It then gives you the basics of how to move on from that, to your second adventure. This includes building a world to...

There is something to that approach.

Step back for a moment and think about what you just said. Who else would a guide be designed for? I get it, you're an experienced DM. You want a new book to appeal to that. What exactly would a DM's book for an experienced DM contain?

Bless your heart!

What are you talking about? This 'review' is a clown way to advertise your product. I have zero 'propensity to be offended' and I still find this to be amateur hour running your business at its finest. In any scenario, putting someone or something else down to make yourself look better? If...

I'd like to see for myself.

So somewhere in this 33 page thread there is a screenshot? I'm sure that's true, but that's less than helpful. Thanks anyway.

Do you have links that I can look at that re: how they treated their lead creative?

Great idea for a thread! Working late tonight... but at home, so I have Spotify/YouTube scrambling to follow my whimsy. Currently enjoying Guns of Brixton (The Clash). Was just listening to Your Woman (White Town). Before that, some Neil Young... Cowgirl in the Sand. And before that...

Lol... I do understand what you're saying, and who you are probably saying that about! I hope you understand my point, though, and why I choose to listen to all sides of an argument? I respect everyone and the right to their opinions. I sometimes find their opinions poorly thought out, and have...

Fair enough. Honestly, I wish this site didn't have this feature. It does more harm than good in my opinion. It's used as a passive-aggressive weapon more than in the way you're advocating from what I can see. It's hard to see a person who disagrees with you. Doing so, though, helps you, them...

Actually, here are real world effects. @gorice and I are now engaged in a conversation. If I had met the initial rage wall with my own rage wall, where would we be? Now we are two people talking to each other.

They are not. Not really the point though. If it bothers you that much, you can ignore me. I hope you don't though.

Initially, I found this bit over the top. The association of the advice from the DMG with lying/railroading and other terms with negative connotations. In a random home game, is it not possible that occasionally fudging dice leads to a better outcome for both players and DM? It's not something...

The tone is what puts up a barrier to discussion. That is almost certainly not your intent, but for a reader of a post like that... it's work. And, more, it feels like futile work, because that tone tells others that a line in the sand has been drawn. In concrete. I like this post though! Sorry...

I guess to me it's more important to acknowledge and understand the opinions of others, even if I don't agree with them or find those opinions presented in a fashion that annoys me.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying... I don't do that though. I prefer to hear and interact with other opinions rather than shut them out.

Again, if it feels bad to you, but not to others, maybe take a minute to explore why that is, instead of doing the "the other guy is a jerk/stupid/clueless" thing. It's unpleasant to read through posts like this. It feels like the point isn't to promote discussion, but to bludgeon others with a...

There is a lot of sensationalism in this post, intended or not. When you start off your argument with "the other guy is a jerk/stupid/clueless", you've lost the room. Could you reposition, this time leaving out the 'obvious' intent to railroad, etc.?
