Adventure design isn’t about filling every room with something to fight.
It’s about creating situations that give players choices, multiple approaches, and consequences that shape what happens next.
Build problems. Let your players find the solutions.

I'm diving into studying every RPG adventure published in Challenge magazine from 1986 to 1995, searching for HTT and HTT-adjacent design.
For a gamer who doesn't much like military sci-fi RPGs, I'm spending a LOT of time eyeballs-deep in them lately. 😆 Ah well.

It's nice diving back into campaign design with the #Hammondal campaign (companion book to the city guide).
2 of my first 3 books were campaign modules, and ... then I just did a lot of stuff that WASN'T that, for a lot of years. Nice to return with experience.
