I mean people, how hard is it to send more or less monsters based on what happened last time?  does this really need 20 pages of math to figure out?  Apparently it does.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">50 pages on all the stuff I bought on dms guild cause I was too lazy and busy to make up myself.  Stores, nPCs, strongholds, ships, airships, more shops, the fantasy world economy, shops, easy sidekicksto fill out a party to play published adventures, shops and stuff to put in them that isn’t just the equipment list in the PH.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">20 pages on alternate rules addressing everything people whine about there not being rules for.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">2 pages on basic magic items everyone wants and expects to get, +x weapons, shields, armor, and bag of holding to carry 2000 gc cause I mean what, try getting around with that many pennies for forks sake.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">100 pages of non boring ingenius items and at least 5 of those on how to make your players care about them and actually use them.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1 page on how to convince yor players to use the gd spell scrolls they have for once omg you forking scriptoriums</li> </ul></blockquote><p></p>
