I really love the hero slot system. It allows me to just have stat blocks ready and make encounters on the fly super quickly.

Yeah, I like this idea a lot. Though it depends on what exactly they're going up against. Also, depending on your players, you'll probably need to constantly encourage them to find out of the box solutions during the combat. Or they might just get very frustrated.

I would almost always award an actual item instead of these moving forward though. There's other fun things the follower could be working on.

My players got the Foesense Lens recipe from part 1 of the Delian Tomb. They've actually really liked having their follower roll to progress. I added a few extra travel days for them to get more rolls. But without a follower they would never complete it. Even so, it'll take a while.

The death of Nighteyes was beautifully written. It's written in such a way that I didn't fully grasp that Nighteyes was dying until about the same moment Fitz did. I will miss that wolf 😭 I'm

You gotta just say "I'm running a session. Come try it out."

Can even used pre-gened or create ones that you think your players would like. My players haven't looked back.

Nice! I'm excited for both of them.

Which ones are you looking at?

Thanks! I don't know if he looks great 😅 but he's at least recognizable. 64x64 is hard. And he's not a simple design.
