    Your voice is like the dude from Kung Fury. That is a compliment. Also, I agree puzzles can be bad. I have been enjoying "extended tests" in fallout 2d20. Can really tie in a lot of character abilities doing different things.

    This video is a blessing, since I added a flooded room to my dungeon with the Banjo Kazooie shark in it, and had no idea how i'll run it this saturday! Pro tip: You can easily add a water section to any dungeon by just turning regular doors into airlocks. Also, an opening in the ceiling of a flooded room can bring an easy access to the level above it. As an extra, here's an awesome underwater trap, courtesy of the Prismatic Wasteland blog: a cool and visually aluring sword is enbedded in the floor underwater, but it is covered in a strong adhesive that isn’t soluble in water. So if you grab it, have fun finding a way to get free before you get out of breath!

    interesting how the ghibli approach to “the status quo” in storytelling is the complete opposite of literally all western storytelling advice. the heroes journey demands that the main characters are trying to keep things the way they are (or, at best, return them to the way they were). i’m sure there’s nothing deeper there about the respective philosophies behind both those kinds of stories…

    a lot of folks will point to kishotenketsu as an alternate story structure; the objective isn't "experience the necessary change to overcome X", it's "cope with the new information or perspective you get late in the story and reconcile it with how you've grown", almost inverted Personally I think a lot of that can still be mapped to the hero's journey because both models are intentionally vague, but thinking about it from the perspective of kishotenketsu can help capture the vibe

    but everything you said about shoving a riddle into the mix is so true, we had to get to the druid queen and the doorman said we needed to answer three riddles to show we were worthy. happy music played in my head for about 10 minuites as i pretended to look like i was thinkin

    I get both perspectives. I think "someone posed an impossible problem and it's up to the party to manufacture those circumstances" (Like "oh this door will only open when the fish of the southern lake walk on land, lemme cast polymorph on one") is different than "Behold, I the dungeon master know the (single correct) answer to this riddle" but in reality you're just making the players fill up a subjective effort meter until you decide they've done enough

    The thing that annoys me most about the alphabetizing puzzles, and i admit this is not actually the main problem and I'm just a linguistics nerd, is why the hell would the *modern english alphabet* matter in an exotic far off tomb built by people who spoke a long dead language of their own? Or especially in some of the more fantastical contexts like if you're exploring a citatel built by the angels themselves and you find... oh yeah, another puzzle that just lists things off by english alphabetical order. It's like wotc? John Dee is calling, he's saying you stole his bit

    that's a silly nitpick I have too; I understand it's an abstraction of a more complex or appropriate puzzle in the game, but latin alphabet ciphers are highlights-magazine-tier gameplay, and they comprise half of all published puzzles.
