[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire, post: 6356186, member: 6778247"] Oh wow, lots of stuff in the replies. [COLOR=#3E3E3E][B]Ravenheart87[/B] When you mention the player's drawning their own maps, do you mean have the players play cartographer based on what they experience? I mean...if this works, it could be an amazing way to engage the players while reducing my work! How would you determine which enemies and allies get caught in say... a blast 3 spell? Also, I'm not sure what to make of the sources you posted. Are the settings stuff I can just plug right into D&D 5e? [B]Reynard[/B] Yeah! The town hub was really my favorite part with lots of things to look into. But I felt like it ended too fast. I only have a little over a dungeon left. I just wish the town hub style was the meat and largest portion of the adventure rather than the dungeon crawls leading and ending at the mine. Also, I've strongly been considering an opposing party (as opposed to just a rival). I kind of ad libbed some stuff due to a player acting in some pretty interesting and unanticipated way with the enemy, so it'd be perfect and I'd like to see it happen, but I'm gonna have to power up the monsters. I'm thinking of turning them into full fledged characters, but I'm afraid this will feel too... PVP? I mean, they'll be able to heal when members are unconscious and stuff right?
