Do your players prefer combat and loot over a detailed storyline?
Do you tend to prepare bottom-up? Starting with the meat and potatoes: combat encounters?
The creatures the PCs fight and the loot they'll earn if victorious.
In case your players may want to know more, do you then do a bit of world-building to explain it?
Such as "Why were the monsters there?" and "Where did this sword come from?"
[B1] Nice pretty simple.
[B2] I would love to give it as an award. It be nice if I could add my own items from my campaign into the loot reward.
[B2] Pretty easy to find and access. I like that.
[B3] I also like how I can have multiple encounters.
[B4] I mentioned before that I will mainly be using this for loot. I think for that it is going to be super helpful. In the past i've had to just put links in the non-secret part of the adventure and it feels odd. Now I can specify exactly which encounter it was a part of. I can post links so that my party can find them or I can find them easily.
[B5] I can see this being a super powerful tool, especially with the dndbeyond integration! we're about to make the jump to 5e and this will be PERFECT for setting up encounters
[B6] I love the filtering option on there as well! it lets me be sure i'm only using items and enemies that my players and i have access to on ddb
[B7] Just tested the Gems. I really like it.
Look for the 'More' button on your Adventure page.
