See what changed thanks to your playtest feedback!

Thanks to some carefully laid kobold traps (i.e. asking politely), that document has now fallen into my hands. We’re taking one section of that document called “5E complaints to fix” and Celeste and I are going to talk about how we tackled them.

Cities and towns are great places to set lots of terrific adventures, and they sometimes wind up as side notes in campaigns, places to cash in treasure, rest in comfort and safety, and purchase supplies for the next adventure “out there.” Hopefully, these maps give GMs inspiration for running encounters right in the middle of the crowds.
