    Do you not realize at 1000 XP you should have upgraded to level 4 and swapped out your attacks for level 2? Also you need to roll for number of doors on corridors (flow chart on page 59) and not just add one upwards at the end. The 1 height for corridors is the basic one square width. You are only allowed 3 armor (page 9), 3 scrolls (page 10) and 5 potions.

    Interesting scenario. I want to try it now lol.

    Howdy Jim, two things - around 19:50 when you rolled damage from the enemy, don't you subtract because you block on 3? Also, when you became level 4 did you update Jerpa's combat maneuver? I believe you can choose maneuvers that do more damage (level 2 maneuvers). Cheers!

UA-cam is just another Wizards of the West Coast yet no one really talks about it. I would also suggest leveraging UA-cam to promote the games that you are playing on Patron. Maybe like a monthly highlight real or something like that. Run your own commercials on your channel. Just a suggestion.

Now I own a quilt shop and I'm much happier. (Yes, I'm a gamer who also quilts. Weird, I know.) Have you considered a Discord server for patrons?

    Nice idea for video. I might do something like this for solo games. If you ever wanted to return to the idea of removable tops, you could use cone-shaped holes in the bottom of each board rather than cylindrical holes. These would be easier to "find" when you can't see the bottom of the board, wouldn't tend to break pegs, and would auto-center once you're close to the right position.
