I just ran @chrisair.itch.io's Mothership module, When In Rome. It ended on a TPK 💀 and it's the first time it ever happened in my game. Thankfully everyone loved it 😅

Some notes about how I write TTRPG adventures:
My texts tend to be terse. A location described in two lines; a single spoken sentence to describe a character.
The aim is *not* to be laconic, but to mirror the pace of natural dialogue; a TTRPG is a conversation between players, after all!

Considering this person studies Actual Play culture, I'm guessing she's talking about 5E. Cognitive load ain't so bad in the indie world.

I was looking at them for home printing borderless autoduplexing zines, mostly for personal use but also for the occasional five copies to take to a con or whatever.
