I know this is the theory, but I think in most folks experiences at "level 1" just mean fewer options within the same D&D play loop that exists at essentially every level (now that domain management is not a thing). The rats are an appropriate challenge. So are the wolves later, and then the...

Scanning through it, I think there is some interesting stuff here to adapt to Shadowdark to build a "cozy" SD game about the village and the threats it faces. The biggest thing would be, I think, to pivot XP away from treasure finding to something to do with protecting the community and building...

Oh, look at that, I totally forgot that I owned this thing.

Also, just because you can blast Mongul into the sun doesn't mean you can solve a small town corruption problem in the same way. You can't fix that sort of thing by punching it.

Only if you go by the very weird assumption that they would have UA'd everything that would have been in the book. Why would that be a thing?

One thing that is interesting about Gunn's DC Universe here is that supers have been around for a while. Some of them are going to be getting ready to retire. The idea of building in the Passing of the Torch to the universe from the get go is kind of bold, if they can pull it off. Will we see...

I keep meaning to get those books...

Stonetop does look interesting, though I am not a huge fan of PbtA games.

Just for clarity, I am talking about a small town, not a city. I think the concerns and focus of adventures is a little different there.

Is that one of KB's books?

I was under the impression that Stonetop was a megadungeon exploration game.

Really?

What does that campaign do to support PCs being prominent members of the community, or help the community flesh out and grow as time goes on? Also, while the starter set adventure is great, isn't the expanded And Below bit just bad?

I just started Slow Gods by Catherine Webb. I am going to stick it out for a little longer but boy is it unsubtle and, well, kind of whiney. The universe it presents is like The Outer Worlds without the humor, and its protagonist appears to be yet another "on the spectrum" self insert character...

Note: The "which D&D" part of the question includes D&D simulacra and adjacent games, from OSE to Shadowdark to Pathfinder. But not like Daggerheart, Draw Steel or 13th Age. Now what do I mean by "hometown heroes"? I mean a campaign centered on the PCs home town/village, where the majority of...

Possible but, again, we just had one of those. It would feel weird if the first two adventures for 5.5 were high level when we essentially had one (DoMM) for 5.0.

Literally all that leaves is Hughie and MM. Which is fine.

Ok. I've never heard a convincing argument that 2d20 is actively bad. Some folks don't like it for... reasons. But I unapologetically roll my eyes when folks make an effort to complain about it.

The real question is does the virus get out? Do we lose the good guy supes?
