We make our way up the flood valley. Knife-fighting wizards, carrion, and more.
[excuse the tapping, we figured it out (a shock mount) in an episode or two.]
Daniel’s not sure he ran the valley properly—or effectively, rather. It’s essentially a pointcrawl, but without distances (that we could find) between the points, and without instructions on how to present the points. Probably Daniel didn’t even stick to his own method and just went with what felt right at the time.
So that’s a thing we’d recommend for a Deep Carbon Observatory second edition.
The writing in the module is captivating, and the art is striking, but Daniel wishes he knew exactly how, in the moment, the author wanted these points/nodes/locations/situations presented to the players, verbally.
Not flavor text, but flavor technique.
That’s something we’d like to see in modules more generally. Let’s make things better.
we must all improve
