We're discussing feedback I received on Chill Mist Valley's warfare system. We're also discussing a dungeon I ran last evening, where the layout was PREPPED but the contents were NOT using a mix of my tables and Appendix A tables. I've received a lot of valuable insight as to why Gary structured certain encounter and treasure tables the way he did. If we have time, we'll also discuss why weird players (and their favorite mechanics) bring so much value to the table.
