This what I finished making yesterday.

My solution was to learn how to bind my own books. It's not particularly hard. The biggest limitation it having access to a printer the right size. A3 for a A4 book.

There is an assumption here that someone already has those books. It seems a bit over the top to buy a complete hard cover adventure just for the gazetteer at the beginning. I would expect a setting book to cover the entire region including bits that setting already published before. Much the...

From my experience with 2024 and 2014, there are only a small amount of rules that shared with the table and are different between systems. For example, inspiration and stealth/surprise. Most rules are either individual player-facing or gm-facing rules. I DM more than I play, so I'm not as...

Why do you think it sounds taxing?

There is this Santa Wear Your Shorts from Hi-5 for kids: Sant Wear Your Shorts There is also 6 White Boomers from an artist I won't name.

I bounced off it too. I guess I was hoping it was going to get better when I read the second book. It was very much not Pratchett. It seemed to have an American New World vibe to it which I find annoying.

It has changed over the years. The first campaign I ran was Goodman Games's In to the Borderlands ending in a TPK. The players were relatively constant. I would usually have a core set of players who would be there from session to session. Over the years, the store wanted to ensure new players...

I run Friday night tables at a LFGS. I am lucky to get the same players 2 weeks in a row.

I'm doing mostly one-shots at the moment. Real-time is very important to me.

I assume that the scene includes more that just the combat itself (on average).

As with anything, it varies, but I would say around 3-4 rounds per encounter. I DM at a FLGS, so player skill is probably different.

10 minute combats seem very quick to me. @SlyFlourish estimates 45 minutes per scene (Scenes – The Catch-all Step of the Lazy Dungeon Master). That seems more realistic. Obviously, it changes depending on character level, number of players, player familiarity with their abilities, encounter...

I would prefer the assumptions were that one adventuring day can be completed in 3 hours including all 3 pillars.

Gibson said, "Science fiction’s always been about the present. It’s seldom really about the future. It’s just a way of talking about the present in a way that otherwise might be difficult." So, in a sense, CyberPunk was 'real' in the 80's.

@Alphastream, how long did it take for new players the create a character using the starter box?

I would point out that the Lost Mines pre-gens didn't have much room to write abilities. Take the dwarven cleric as an example. There is no place to write their prepared spells. The fact they have to choose spells is hidden in the small print. While the play mats should make that a lot easier...
