Creating. almost by itslef. the desired... mood. <br /><br />Alexis, if you or some readers recall the scenario in Germany when the cleric NPC was assassinated and the party awaited an audience with the nearest town official, you effectively kept us marinating in our impatience and built an all-together different sort of tension with some of the same techniques.

I tend to bristle at phrases like, "You should write about ..." or "Why haven't you written about ...?"<br /><br />Like any person, it is really how I am approached. Between campaign, blog, issues with the wiki and the podcast, time is getting to be a premium, so if I'm going to spend half an hour answering a question, I like to be asked kindly.<br /><br />I'm very glad you've enjoyed my contributions, and thank you for your pledge! Go ahead and ask a question ~ I certainly owe you an answer now, nyet?Alexis Smolenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539170107563075967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-86831148358344921062018-02-20T18:56:23.923-07:002018-02-20T18:56:23.923-07:00Alexis, I am a long-time reader of your blog and I...Alexis, I am a long-time reader of your blog and I have purchased all of your books. I just subscribed to your Patreon to give a little bit back for all the content you publish on your blog, and for all the inspiration you've provided me. I will surely bump my contribution higher when I'm able. Thank you for being such a great voice in a web-o-sphere that is filled with so much garbage regarding the game we love.<br /><br />Question for you: From time to time I have a D&D related topic on my mind that I'd love to hear your thoughts and perspectives on. Are you open to receiving suggestions for potential future blog post topics, and if so what is the best way to send them to you?<br /><br />Thank you again for all you do. Keep up the fantastic and innovative work!

As promised, the deconstruction brings much of the inner workings in front of us, in clear view, very nicely weaving the example, the deconstruction, and elements you could have read in "How to Run" but never realized how they could be used in your game.<br /><br />ThanksVlad malkavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287760654547816927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-4208804686109552792018-02-19T22:07:34.131-07:002018-02-19T22:07:34.131-07:00I will read this for sure, once my donation proces...I will read this for sure, once my donation processes in March.Maxwell Joslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309867478186083339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-84989121089409134292018-02-18T20:32:45.784-07:002018-02-18T20:32:45.784-07:00You shouldn't feel bad about this. You give a ...You shouldn't feel bad about this. You give a ton of stuff away for free and people can read the campaign blog and see everything except your thoughts during the game. You are basically giving lectures with these posts and most people who do that EXPECT payment. The fact that it is so cheap gives any who would complain no leg to stand on.<br /><br />As a side note, when you get enough of these completed, you could quite possibly collect them into another book to sell.J.
