Um, On my end, you know, I didn't do a bunch of stuff for a while because I was just working, working, working on the day job. And now I'm like on a tear creating videos. I'm all excited.

I'm digesting like all kinds of like a friend of mine. Well, Jeff Mueller, who supports our show, we mentioned his work. He shared Forbidden Lands with me. And I've been eating that up, reading through it. That's been a lot of fun to read, which is a free league kind of gritty OSR style kind of game. That's cool.

Everybody listening thinking that, you know, like that kind of sort of just like a columnar thing of like this is the general area of worship. Like it actually worked far better than I thought it would for 2014. And I think made it very easy to appeal. My preference would be I wouldn't say that you just only have that in a setting book. To me, what I would like is just a few questions that say, OK,

You're a life cleric. Pause and ask yourself, in this campaign, what does that mean? Jot down three bullets, right? You can literally have it like on a character sheet, right? If you're going to do like D&D Beyond, you're going to have custom character sheets. It's a cleric. Okay, here are your three bullets. Tell me. What's your life cleric really pushing? Like, what's the thing? Right.

now we could have a setting guide that tells me what those things helps me that with those bullets more and and i would love that too right and every now and then you're gonna have a weird campaign your darkson type thing where it's like well the rules are totally different and in that case we've got a maybe subclasses don't even fit the bill right it might not be good yeah yeah and

Because you want to, like, on one hand... not require a phd in the claire in the god or campaign setting to have a fun game and 2014 does that really really well uh but you want to somehow allow the person who wants to have a phd in this thing to be able to or to write their own dissertation on who their god is and whatever or that the dm did that like for that to all fit together and yeah

Yeah, absolutely. I know with adventures as a DM, I've had situations when I read an Adventurers League adventure, and one of them particularly stands out that I prepared it for a convention, and I thought, wow, this adventure is so lackluster. It was an investigative adventure, and it just seemed like each of the scenes was so, like there was nothing super engaging about them.
