Oh, bummer. I don't expect to be visiting the States for at least three and a half years... for obvious reasons. And that's being optimistic, assuming sanity comes back into vogue.

"One man's trash", and whatnot...

Thanks for this grodog. The binding is a choice - it certainly has a charming "homemade" quality to it, eh? Not to disparage or anything; I wouldn't mind owning a copy myself.

It's amazing how much can be adapted on the fly with little protesting (or even awareness) from the players. I think the golden rule of DMing is "Thou shalt roll with the punches, for that is what thy screen is for".

That last link reminds me of this old video which also makes for some cool food-for-thought on monsters. Nevermind, the original video got taken down or something.

They're like black licorice - you either love it, or you believe the rest of the world crazy for loving it. Grand Budapest Hotel is his opus; if you watch it, you'll know which side you fall on. Life Aquatic is pretty approachable too, as a way to dip your toe in (pun intended).

Like, the sequel film? I've heard bad things... FYI any Wes Anderson fans out there, I heartily endorse The Phoenician Scheme - a real return to form for Anderson after the staleness of Asteroid City and the divisiveness of French Dispatch. Really takes after GBH in terms of tonality and humor.

I will absolutely be giving this a look tonight. As a Photoshop veteran, I can't stand GIMP as-is , but it's gotta be a better alternative than Photopea (which is seemingly stuck in the Creative Suite 1 era of Photoshop features), right?

Admirable. I wish I could muster up enough passion for something to keep at it for 16 years. Kudos!

No no no. Fuck I hated when old modules did that, especially since I was playing them at a time when the supplemental stuff was out of print, and there was no internet to source them. Forcing a purchase feels predatory and microtransactional, whereas gently suggesting "hey, if you want to max...

If I may proffer a suggestion: Rumor Table: If you own a copy of the Main Module roll 2d12, otherwise roll 1d12. Rumors 1-12 = strictly pertains to the current introductory module. Rumors 13-24 = has a component (a location, person, treasure, hook, etc.) of the Main Module. Ideally overlapping...

If it harms the adventure to break it up, then obviously don't break it up. Coherence above everything. Maybe design a short prequel instead - hook people into buying the bigger part with a taste.

Yes, it's a DIY hobby with no barriers to entry. That stuff is going to happen; you could say the same about any hobbyist-profession, really. "Some YouTube videos are bloated with guff. Some YouTube videos have a pathetic amount of content. The restrictions of the algorithm is a cruel prison...

Also, personal suggestion: chop off a chunk of your adventure to offer for free, as a teaser. Either that, or develop a sort of "prequel" module for the bulk of things (like 5e's Death House is to Curse of Strahd). It's always good to have a demo of your work to give prospective customers. Just...

Oh boy, marketing talk again - that's where I'm a viking! Some considerations to make: 1) Brand - 1True has no brand presently, no presence in the market. People do not know who he is or what he's doing (a shame, really, he's great). He will not generate any customers through loyalty or...
