Curious about MCDM and their products? Considering purchasing a supplement for 5th Edition, but not certain which one? Those questions and more in this video. #dungeonsanddragons #mcdm #tabletopgames #roleplayinggames #rpg#dndcommunity #gamedesign #dnd
These are the Resources I used for the Video:

Here’s that Preview pdf I mentioned:

Also a minor note: some of the art in the video is actually sourced from Flee, Mortals! And not Where Evil Lives, specifically the full scale Orcs, Goblins, and also the War Spider. I’m assuming these are instances where they didn’t want to waste pages reprinting ALL of the art.

First
I think the mechanics are great but some of the maps just dont have floor textures lol. Looks terrible on paper but maybe it works if you run it digitally
I am placing Shtriga Nona's hut into my campaign as she will fit in rather nicely as a step between the single encounters and the longer future crawls I have planned for my players in the future. I have 6 PC's 4 x 4 and 2 x 3 and they do seem to walk through my "so-called" deadly encounters so want to try them facing multiple encounter areas without the guarantee of a long rest, that should stretch them in different ways. So hopefully they will begin investigating the Hut in our February session and complete it or die in the March session. Happily I had set up some ideas during last year that actually, with hindsight, seem to have been my deliberate foreshadowing ie critters acting up attacking folks and cats going missing. Gotta love serendipity in play. Given that I run a total sandbox world having loads of different scenario books is a genuine godsend to help link the players between major story arc hubs. Coz whatever I set up I can just guarantee that the players are going to head off and do something else. Ah well it helps with my world building as I am forced to fill in the blank spots with interesting things to explore and anything not used this campaign can be recycled for the next.
Is that a Dungeons of Drakenheim book in the background? I like your taste!
