I suppose technically it should BBLMT. This is gonna bother me. Why are bread and mayo not included in the acronym?
wobblerocket ๐ฒ๐ฎ (@wobblerocket.com)
I really want a good BLT. But I don't have any bacon. I don't have any lettuce. I don't have any tomato. And I don't have any bread. So, uh, mayonnaise is the only requisite ingredient I have.

Bad DM advice: place a large industrial stapler on the table next to your DM screen. Never use it, but pet it lovingly when players get out of hand.

Moddable games like Stardew Valley, Skyrim, Minecraft always have this bittersweet dread and excitement when a new update is announced: "Oh shit cool new official stuff!" vs "But my mods aren't gonna work for six weeks and some will never be ported at all..."

Yes! Or a twist, where they explore a tomb to realize it's not for who they thought it was.
wobblerocket ๐ฒ๐ฎ (@wobblerocket.com) reply parent
Yep! And those tombs are often tied to families who are still active in the world.
wobblerocket ๐ฒ๐ฎ (@wobblerocket.com) reply parent
Break some of them. Resist the urge to tell the story completely. Leave gaps and unanswered questions, let the players make their own interpretations.
wobblerocket ๐ฒ๐ฎ (@wobblerocket.com) reply parent
What inhabits the tomb? Could be anything. Sacred guardians. Maybe bandits are using it as a hideout, maybe a monster is using it as a lair. Frescoes, statues, murals, tapestries throughout tell the story of that figure and their impact on the setting.
wobblerocket ๐ฒ๐ฎ (@wobblerocket.com)
Something I'm working on for my campaign setting: Historical figures have tombs. Some of them are intact, some have been looted (but something else has moved in), some are fabled and require exploring to find. Each one a playable dungeon you can drip feed lore through.

Nimrus still mostly uses scribes to hand-copy texts. The printing press hasn't been invented, but there are magical means to speed up the process -- but of course, the Warp is devious, so sometimes it inserts its own foul secrets into the text, so copying texts magically is tricky business.

Something that feels weird in later versions of D&D is the homogenization of types of magic. If the druid, the cleric, and the wizard can all wield fire, change their shape, and enchant foes, what is there to separate them? I like it a bit better when each type of magic has its unique wheelhouse
