So this is super amazing, but I do have one question. How exactly do you plan out what's going to happen within the session? I see a general summary, but I don't see a list of encounters or narrative progression. Or is this a set of notes for a published adventure that you're just following? Because I'm trying to write GM notes, but I don't know what I should be doing. I'm just writing down things as bullet points (e.g. if the players go to this area, this encounter will happen. if they are nice to the NPCs in that encounter, this will happen. If not, this happens instead.). It might be getting too granular, but I'm not sure how else to write notes. If I didn't have them that way, I would be floundering the entire time because I don't know how to just think of things on the spot.

Just found you today! I am wanting to make a setting of a large city with different districts so I will attempt to use some of this in that.

For me, I use a different method of curing disease... I do not like that these can be cured with a simple spell. It may well do... but in RL you need to know what you are curing... The cleric or paladin needs to identify the disease first, then use the minor variant (spell is the same but now is focusing on a single issue) which focuses the healing of that disease. I think of it that the lesser restoration in this is similar to that of a panacea. If may still cure the disease, but has a 5% chance of working (if the disease is not id'd).... Instead they need to identify the disease, considering that i do not tell them what it is, just what the symptoms are. Once the disease is identified then the restoration spell is 'adjusted' to cure the disease. giving a 95% chance of curing, and potentially still a chance for relapse.... (yes i'm evil) I also sometimes for the rarer diseases require supplements (herbal or magical) to assist, meaning the curing is delayed further if these are required, and need to be obtained. I also do the same for poisons, considering that you typically need the antivenom. I do like the ideas of the elements of this, making disease seem benign, but gradually get worse, so i will be taking this and adding it to my version...mwahahaha

Very interesting idea! I like that it rewards the players initially

I'm running an ancient egyptian-themed game and i have been looking for a similar solution to the classic tomb curses and mummy diseases. Theres a cleric on the party so obviously everything gets cured either same day or the next morning. I guess i never considered treating them like pf2e mutagens! This is a good idea!

Oh my God! Rip

Great story!!! Love the plot twist!

I really like that players still get to choose. Thanks, Anto!

Superb! I love your content, Anto!

I've been looking for a decent worldbuilding system for so long because my campaign is so in-depth and every single one I've found has either been paid, has essential things paid, or just doesn't have what I need. I'm so glad I finally found what I was looking for, thank you so much

NO. Just another Fantasy Heartbreaker. "Look fellas I made D&D, but better!" smh.

So, as i understand it, 5e says “don’t do that” and 2e says “I mean I wouldn’t but you can certainly try, just don’t get your hopes up” which is a similar but fundamentally different message

thanks for the video Icarus. i hate to be that guy but have you seen a doctor lately? the left side of you mouth doesnt seem to match the right side, droop on the left side of the face is a sign of stroke.

Where can i find these written adventures? Are theynin the Issues of Sidequest?

My DM kit, a backpack with laptop, cables, extra dice, notebook & Pens/Pencils for quick jotting info down, and I carry a portable 27" touch-screen monitor that lays in the center of the table.... my Lapotop has all the books on PDF if needed, I use Owlbearrodeo VTT for the mapping with Fog of War, and I use Owlbear's Post it Notes for (Red) Monster stats, (Blue) Room Descriptions, and (Green) for Traps, (Yellow) is Loot which is Handy I just expose it so they can copy the info down easy. ... Plus I have all the monsters & Player tokens already in place with their built-in life tracker, condition markers, spell templates, as well as Initiative app if you want to use it and even digital dice I use for rolls I want players to see like my monster attacks, (and use real dice for Hidden Detect traps and etc.) plus it has Draw and typing options if wan tot write info or Draw on the map ... also in the note book are handouts. ... Plus Owlbear can be done from my main PC at home online, so the laptop just sits in the backpack till game night (Every Sunday, face to face with 7 players) ... with Touch Screen players can move there tokens, on the Touch Screen so it can be a more Tactical battle. Theator of the moind is great butI've had to many times when the Ranger was hit but hes out of run range but DM didnt know or Once I told DM I went left, got attacked and im like we ust came from that way, he said no you came from Right, well thats because he is facing me and my Left is his Right, This is why I use N< S< E< W in my games. .... Oh yeh Edit ... I also have Digital DM Screen (Token) I place under my Owlbear maps as well la sa Map that is a Town notice board, where I have tokens of Square Wanted posters, Jobs and etc I can change as done.

Some cool ideas. I am ending a 2 year camapign and started peppering in one shots towards the end, that dealt with other groups, or behind the scenes stuff, and I wished I did that from the beginning. It was cool that have the one shots be cannon story arcs where the players got to be somone else for a day.

Argh, i got my level 14 character murdered by shadows

What kind of tape did you use to connect the panels?

as a pc playing a rakshasi armorer-artificer who likes getting her employment contracts in writing, very helpful thank you!

Any chance you'll make the finished character sheets from the end available for others to use?
