Yeah. So I'm looking at a table right now. So I'm looking at part of the first chapter, and it's got stuff about the tiers of play, local heroes, heroes of the realm, that stuff. Yes. And it's also got a table called Adventure Situations, one for each tier. So it's 1D20 for each tier. So there's a level 1 to 4 table and a level 5 to 10 table. And then each of them is just kind of a plot hook.

I don't know if I understand. I like this about organisation, though. And this is what I'm getting the sense of, is that this book is organised better for a new DM. The stuff is where you need it to be. Nice. Not scattered about. That's the kind of way I feel it's looking.

Well, we're going to get into this in a bit, but there's a big emphasis on Greyhawk in this. I think the lore section is pretty much everything. So I think if you look at it, it will tell you what Dragonlance is, it will tell you what Greyhawk is, you know, that sort of thing.
