Running for this many players puts the fear in me, but after reading this perhaps a little less!

"I did away with dungeon mapping entirely and just…showed them. I took the moathouse castle map and removed the key from it, same for the dungeon."

My least favorite part of most games.

Just real quick, wanted to stop in and say that your illustrated map of the keep is the best I've ever seen, and if the original came packaged with YOUR map, it'd make me 10x more likely to want to run it. Had to come back and make this comment cause I've been thinking about it for a week!

Hey Jack! Can’t take credit that’s from Owlbear maps!! I just refined with a sharpie and added my own key to it. It really is amazing, no?
