Episode notes
Clear Rules For Powerful Enemies
- The game labels powerful foes as champions or bosses and restricts common abilities against them.
- That explicit 'can't-pull-BS' class of monsters clarifies stakes and avoids fiddly legendary resistances.
Buy Physical Versions For Best Value
- Consider buying the Land of Eem hardcover core book ($40) or deluxe box set if you value physical quality and included PDFs.
- The $150 deluxe set bundles three books, a board-quality map, meeples, dice, and a DM screen for tabletop convenience.
Grumpy About Reused Realms Regions
- Mike is 'grumpy' about new Forgotten Realms books re-covering overexposed regions like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.
- He feels those regions have been thoroughly used and would prefer fresh setting attention.
