Is #TheBridge getting review-bombed? Just watched it and had a great time. Are fan expectations just a little bit too high? #StrangerThings

Anyone remember the Fantasy Series 1 minis from Black List Games? I use them pretty much every weekend. I backed the Kickstarter for Fantasy Series 2 back in April 2021, and they were meant to be delivered in 2022. It's now nearly 2026, and they're JUST getting released now...

Trying to name a town. Greyhold, Stonehold, Greywall, Northreach, and Stoneharbour are probably my favourites so far. But I really want something less dull. Names are hard!

Most of the discussionI have seen about the The Campaign Handbook focuses on how useful it is for people who are new to DMing.
I want to take a different approach.
I've been doing this both as a GM and as a writer for a long time. Next time I need to plan 5e campaign, I will be using this book.

d12. It is a bit underutilized but still distinctive. I like how it allows for fun stuff like this (if I need a day Encounter or a Night Encounter, I can just roll a d8 or a d4, etc.)

Thanks for the kind words, sir! And yes, Save the Cat was very much a balancing act; I saw it more as a series of 'guiding stars' than a rigid, step-by-step flowchart. You can't really script an RPG after all!
I've seen lots of DMs and writers seduced by the lure of Save the Cat! (myself included) before realizing that overscripting is a trap; The Campaign Handbook is one of the few instances I've seen in which the "beat sheet" is more of an asset than a liability.
Also, "gullygug" cracked me up. IYKYK.

@scrollforinit.bsky.social was kind enough to send me an advance copy of this book, but I was so busy, I didn't get to look at it until today. It's a neat resource, especially for less experienced DMs or ones trying to run a campaign without using a published adventure for the first time.

I never expected to get anywhere NEAR this, but The Campaign Handbook is nearly at GOLD on @drivethrurpg.com! In its first month!
I'm a team of one.* It would make my day if we can get to gold by the end of the month.
Please share if you can :)
