In games about getting treasure and getting out alive, I think this is super important. What are you taking? What are you willing to leave behind?

I'm a big fan of curated random.encounter tables. This particular Dark Forest possesses certain traits, so it's encounter table should be distinct.

I personally don't think any good comes from any discussion of such issues in RPGs that originates outside of the industry and fandom. We absolutely do have things we have to reckon with, but letting agitators of any persuasion frame the discussion based on non-gamer perspectives is just playing...

This has been my complaint for years. The answer, according to James Jacobs and in relation to Pathfinder anyway, is that lots of people don't run adventures, they just read them.

I mean, Greg Land spent a lot of time tracing Maxim and similar periodicals of the time -- but it wasn't a bad story!

Well, since you are especially concerned about it, why don't you give us the test of the article so we can discuss it?

Hey, Sovereign was a good book.

Conan was not a D&D character. Trying to use him to define what either a thief or a barbarian is works about as well as using Aragorn to define what a ranger is. All classes, specialties or whatever your system of choice calls them are mechanical package of play-roles designed to enforce niche...

Does that mean we will at least gen cinematic universes worth of D&D movies?

Remember like a year ago when Musk threatened to buy D&D and everyone got all atwitter (pun intended)? Yeah. Who cares? And no,I haven't read the article, but not because it is behind a paywall. It's because there is literally nothing less compelling that the combined words of "D&D" and...

As I suspected, this is more "appropriately balanced" than I am going for. I'm intentionally looking for a CR30 treasure hoard to see what the PCs do with it.

Nah. The distances and challenges between stars is so great that interstellar hostility makes no sense at all.

I'm definitely not a 2024 booster, but at least thus far I don't see anything internally competing. Whenever they release the 2024 revision of, say, Xanathar's -- sure. But as it stands there doesn't seem to be any inherent competition between 2014 and 2024 products beyond core rules, and new...

This is... unexpected.

This is a good idea, but unfortunately I used it in the previous adventure of this campaign where the PCs were liberating spellcasters who had displeased the Usurper from a "prison" where everyone was petrified (it was actually a Geomancy node inhabited by petrifying monsters).

Does anyone have it on hand, so I can get an idea of what they were aiming for? My guess is it will be too small, but I would like to see anyway.

I did not go back and rewatch, because I assumed it was a statement of fact. I know he discussed it in earlier videos, too, so I was helping.

You excluded a middle there about the size of the Amazon basin.

This feels like a strange non sequitur.

I think attempting to hew too close to realism is going to be counterproductive to achieve the goal of finding ways to make hardship on expedition dramatic and fun gameplay.
