Level Up (A5E) A journey example

I see that there is an encounter table for each tier in ach terrain. Is this so parties can only meet challenges that are appropriate to their level, or are they set up so there is a chance to become over their head. Similar to the Sandbox vs. Party thread.

It's a tool for the GM to support both styles of play. The tables can be used either way. You can either say "Mirkwood is a tier 3 Feywood" and use tier 3 encounters and exploration challenges within its borders; or, if you prefer, you can present a party entering Mirkwood with encounters and challenges suited to their own tier.

It’s a terrain type, not a place name! Every fighter in your game isn’t called ‘Fighter’, either!

Right, but it is meant to be a generic name right? I mean if the fighter was called the “deep sea myrmidon”, people would raise an eyebrow at this “generic fighting class” having such a name.

Good to see that teleportation spells will have an exploration challenge attached to them. No more "get out of trouble for free" type of situations.

I was reading this and something else at the same time and read "Urban Township" as "Urban Dropship"

Ooh! I want to play the kind of Battlemaster that comes out of a dropship.

Plus you can do regions within regions. The Deep Dark Forest is scary enough, but if you ignore the warnings and follow the floating lights, the forest gets a lot more dangerous.

It's just fae lights and when has following fae lights even been bad.....

Sure they are! It's like George Foreman's kids.

I'm really liking what I'm seeing here. Definitely something I'd not have expected, but it sounds interesting.
