As promised so long ago, here are the annotated maps Daniel used to run T1.
The yellow cones on the moathouse map indicate the areas in which the party may be detected by lookouts inside the moathouse.
I converted AC to ascending, but the other stats are pretty much by the book.

Recapping an actual bossfight with special mechanics you can steal and an abortive PC kingship.
We reference skeleton jellies, which I think Arnold K made up.
When Daniel talks about Apocalypse World style task resolution, here’s how he does it in 5e:
Daniel doesn’t use this unless there’s some way to make the 12-19 result interesting; otherwise, he defaults to DC 15 for a binary success target.
Daniel’s new ruling based on Tim’s shenanigans: if an item’s container is not explicitly marked on your sheet, Daniel assumes it’s stored in the worst place possible when it matters most.
We do an actual bossfight with special mechanics you can steal, which Daniel in turn stole from Dark Souls. Then they meet some dubious fungus people, and one PC is soon to be king.
Table images after the jump. You can see marching order and the yellow mini-rubber bands we use to indicate characters that have torches.
We recap what happened last time in the snek mans shrine.

A small party this time explores the ruined dragon shrine to the northeast of Vicksburg. John, Tim, and Wes explore the second level and do some proper dungeon crawling.

We kick off our actual play of the Alabamia campaign, a 5e game set in fantasy feudal Alabama.
Having plundered a ruined BBQ joint, the party detects magic beneath an albino sow as big as a school bus. But what to do with the hundred suckling giant piglets? Our gnome that looks like Cactus Jack tries to get a date. And our cleric perhaps becomes a kobold prophet.
Drink y’all some sweet tea and have a listen.

We review Maze of the Blue Medusa. We talk about how to use it in campaigns, what kind of prep you’ll need to do, how it’s different than most dungeons/adventures, and how its innovative information design helps you run it.
You can grab a $5 pdf of the module from drivethrurpg (aff) here.
