Especially after I take a look at the preorder page and see things like map packs and specific monsters for DM use being sold separately. Without the limits imposed by a computer program.

I have zero f$&%s to give about yet another generic computer action RPG, even if it does claim to give me the power to run games for my friends. No, I’m not talking about Sword Coast Legends. I want to talk about video games, players, GMs, and Wizards of the Coast. I wouldn’t have even bothered with this if there wasn’t an extra Wednesday in September.īy the way, you should conider that Minotaur/Random Bulls$&% designation a warning label in the future. And if you find this ranting, rambling, boring, and pointless? Don’t worry, next week is the next thing about building adventures. And then maybe check the conclusion that follows to see whether it’s worth reading the rest of the post. So, if you want the tl dr version: skip down to a quick and dirty bit about how to abbreviate a monster stat block. But I couldn’t leave the main analysis out: the idea of user interface design in RPGs. Hence my conclusion at the end, after I rant and rage and nitpick and after I say “okay, here’s a quick and dirty way to abbreviate a stat block.” I was going to chop out huge portions of this and leave the ideas unsaid and unanalyzed, but I can’t bring myself to do it. But I think there’s a big problem underlying my analysis. And then looking at the historical way it’s been handled. It’s me looking at a specific design problem and nitpicking the hell out of it. Because this article is mostly just Random Bulls$&%. And that’s also why, ultimately, I put the minotaur on it. And that’s why this article got so big and so complicated. But, the other side of that is that I won’t just throw up an idea or a solution without thinking through that idea. I’ve always promised that I wouldn’t ask people to read a rant about a problem without offering a potential solution. Because something bigger came out of this. I was writing a thing based on a simple question: can you abbreviate a 5E stat block enough to make it possible to include monster stats inline in the adventure text.
