    I love the little self-contained adventure built into the map and situation itself; plot hooks are well and good, but I think a hallmark of good roleplay design is it inspires the players to be nosy in a self-directed sort of way, and can work well no matter what direction the players approach the situation from.

    • @RedQuills

      The mark of a good adventurer is that they FIND adventure, rather than having it thrust upon them, I agree. No insult meant to Bilbo Baggins and his ilk!

      @michaelanderson2166 I think all DMs have to deal with that a little bit at the moment - I find it comes up most in dialogue. I think having prescribed options for dialogue limits the awareness of how many outcomes there can be for roleplay

    Just a random visitor here: I don't think you need to use the switching camera positions as much as you do around 2:30 and 5:20. I find your tone and way of speaking very calm (and fitting the video topic!), so a steady camera angle would make it feel more consistent.

    I'm boring. I use a free tile program and a bunch of personally made, but simple 16×32 isometric tiles and slap them together to make my continent map. There's slightly transparent blue water tiles, green plains tiles, and forest tiles and mountain (foothills and peaks) tiles. And road tiles in four directions for all types. All my city tiles are unique at least. Then I zoom in a level (by changing maps) with incredibly simple wall/rock/brick tiles for walls and only add additional layers for details like tall grass/flowers and NPC/objects. Using the basic 4 pixel steps for 3D sets outdoors. Campaign map grid is usually 64×64 and i design the location tiles on an extremely rushed just before the game night basis. 😅 So far most of my players appreciate the very rough but interactive updating live references for out games. I even had two of my players offer to draw their and other party member characters facing more than one direction. Instead of simply using a direction marker for their character. It's worked well over zoom.
