That’s one of the reasons I don’t want kids, if anything like that happened to them, some people would die and it wouldn’t be pretty.

Finished it yesterday, can confirm, while it’s not on par of course, it’s a great game and an amazing tribute to old JRPG.

Very surprised that A blind legend didn’t make it here, among all those suggestions.

Not really what you asked, but preparing and improvising aren’t necessarily mutually exclusive.

IE, you can prep some encounters, rooms, vilains etc, but mostly on the surface, they don’t have to be predetermined as, for example, goblins in a cave, or the villain can be anyone or even better, you just improvise him towards the end, for a huge plot twist in your players mind, while you just picked what happened to fit the best at the time combined with what you prepared.

Adapting/reusing on the go what you prepared/envisioned is, imo, one of the best skills a DM can have and work on. And this applies for things you prepared in a previous session but happened to not use at the time.

I hope that helps.

What do downvotes do, exactly ?

What would be the alternative ?

By you, into upvoting

Honestly pretty great, still in the process of blocking some of the instances I’m not interested in but I like it a lot for what I do (browse the main page by top/active to get a bit off everything)
