Episode notes
Define Criteria Before You Buy
- Define personal criteria for evaluating campaigns before choosing or buying adventures.
- Use those criteria to save time and money and pick campaigns you'll enjoy running.
Homebrew In Settings Beats Big Modules
- Mike gets more satisfaction running homebrew built inside published settings than running large published adventures.
- Settings give useful material while letting him craft the story structure he prefers.

- Product design matters far more than production quality for table usability.
- A well-designed indie booklet can outperform a glossy, dense hardcover at the table.
