Mostly because I get bored reading description. If it's relevant to the plot, it's fine, otherwise get on with it. Note this is strictly a personal thing. Some people love description and I'm glad there are writers out there who will give them that. It's just not my thing.

after I shared with her my GP thinks I should cut things like coffee: "Like how can you survive corporate grind and play dnd without an ungodly amount of coffee? Survive on spite and desire to scar your players? Wait... That could actually work."

I have an idea. It's both an excellent and terrible idea because I'm going to need capacity to do it, so I'm looking for ways to make it happen. Why is doing something good always contrary to taking care of myself? Dangit.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

time. You know the drill. A lot of AP creators don’t seem to watch APs. Some of you have told me you don’t. That’s no good. Let’s change that. Give me your AP, I’ll watch/listen, rate and review. Your watch one of mine in return. Hit me.

When you create a dungeon, always consider having multiple exits or shortcuts built in. Because backtracking can really annoy players and it wouldn't make sense to only have one entrance/exit anyway. Most of the time, I mean.

Are you more of a deep planner, or fly by the seat of your pants GM? I find I go in cycles. I'll spend two weeks planning out all the details for an adventure, and then we'll spend a month adventuring in another dimension because I was making choices based on vibes 😂
