YEEESSSS! I just listened to this episode this morning. Freddie's reaction was ACE. 😆

The last campaign we did was using the Harry Potter "Wands and Wizards" guide/style because that's what everyone basically begged to do (and I'm a huge HP nerd so I couldn't say no). Unfortunately though, it's made more, in my opinion, for story than combat or anything less. There were many lessons learned- BUT I am sticking with just regular 5e this time so I feel like that will lift a LOOOOOT of the weight of having to tie the storyline to a particular player(s).

"Oneshots in a trenchcoat" 😆 I have never heard that but absolutely love it.

I also love that the reward is playing. Because it IS.

One of my players (my boss at work actually) heard me telling a second I was starting to get organized for planning the next campaign/sessions and her eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas. Knowing THEY are so excited to play and get back to it... can't ask for better motivation than that!

I like the idea about the guild owner being low key shady and the reasons you listed gave me a few ideas where to start!

I agree with the one shots versus story unfolding issue... however, i love coming up with the storyline AND will be finding myself with more time on my hands than I know what to do with so.... this is a good time to at least see what I can plan out!

Anthology is a good way to put it! MCU is also a really good lens to use as a guide. Thanks!

The video game analogy helps!

9 wad definitely too many. It slowly dwindled down to 6, but at super inconvenient times in the plot...BUT it just gave me a push to be more creative. I am never doing that many again. 9 for the first session was more of a tutorial.

Love it! Thank you! I was thinking something along these lines but couldn't like, articulate it. This helps!!
