Throne of Glass is a YA novel by Sarah J Maas, in which a teenaged assassin is offered commutation if she will serve as the crown's personal killer. The only catch? She's got to exceed everyone else in the running for the job. So there I was, one rainy day in the Barnes & Ignoble, and I'm...

Arthur Laffer's initial demonstration was in regards to tax revenue, 'tis true, but the same principle can be applied across multiple lines of business. As you note, the trick is figuring out where you are on the curve. Are you at the peak? Then changing production at all will reduce revenue...

Thank you for taking time to explain that so I didn't. :) There's a name for this, and it's called the Laffer Curve.

Thanks for sharing. Still confused by the "4E was a huge success no really" argument Mr Colville and Mr. Abadia propagate.

That feels oddly lacking. A 10-room dungeon spread over 7 pages, plus new monsters? Doesn't sound like there's much meat on this key.

Alright, folks, real quick addendum on this. I wanted to cover what changes I would be making when I ran this adventure, because it's definitely going on my "To Be Run" pile! 1) I bring in encumbrance, using a slot-based system (less hassle to track, easily extended to anyone the PCs recruit)...

Hahaha! A solid point, but I hesitate to show too much on here in regards to the book's major value prop, which are the adventure sites. Besides, I think a quick overview of the general themes showcases the diversity of options when it comes to Drakkenheim content. You're not just doing the same...

I have no suggestions, but let us know how it goes!

Damn, that's a lot of sidekicks! I did want to say I was disappointed by Weekend At Strahd's. I 100% thought that was going to be about the PCs impersonating Strahd to prevent Barovia from collapsing on itself, slowly driving Rudolf van Richten insane as he gets gaslit into thinking he's...

They go a long way toward fulfilling the "non-linear" part of their goal with the factions, in my opinion. Want to run an evil campaign? Boy, have we got a faction you're gonna love! And now, let's get into Chapter 7: Inside the Walls of Drakkenheim! This section is a chonky 42 pages, mostly...

Yes, I find it to be a useful gauge of rough combat power.

Alright, friends, it never rains but pours. And since tomorrow looks like it's gonna suck, I wanted to make sure to do my second update now! So let's dig into Chapter 5: Exploring Drakkenheim. As an aside, I friggin' love RPG structures. I think they are some of the coolest things I never...

Seconded.

It felt less like a copy/paste and more like the designers took an interesting premise and then ran with it. Like, yes, there are five factions battling for delerium in a city lost due to a meteor, but they've added in so much to that base that it feels like a significant departure from the...

Yeah, this reads like someone trying to shoehorn non-Ravenloft content into Ravenloft. Pass. Very interested in Weekend at Strahd's, though!!

Yeah, I know I said I was going to start tomorrow evening but I'm bored now, guys, so SUCK IT UP. I skipped out on Dungeons of Drakkenheim during its Kickstarter because I had already backed Weird Wastelands and frankly I didn't have room in my wallet for both. Joke's on me, 'cuz Drakkenheim...

OK, folks, looks like Drakkenheim is going first, followed by Strixhaven and then Black Wyrm. We'll start tomorrow night!

Well that's a damn good marketing strategy! :) You're correct about the CG feeling like a prototype, too; that's a better way of phrasing some of my issues. Alright, you all have convinced me to take a run at the Player's Guide when I'm done with my next three!

Puts on old-timey announcer hat And with that folks, it's Drakkenheim into the lead, yes, tearing down that second straightaway, they're pulling ahead by a good bit. Oh, it's magnificent, what a performance, holy cow! Meanwhile Strixhaven and Black Wyrm are tied neck-and-neck. They're in a dead...
