As you say, the proof is in the testing. But before the testing is the build. All of my articles up to now are theory/opinion.
And let's just say, I'm really good at fabricating a story out of nothing. Years (18+years) of real life D&D DM'ing has prepared me for this. My bullshit is next level. 5 players in a live environment, each waiting to be entertained has given me a mastercourse in bullshit.
Anyway, I'm taking requests for my weekly Blog post, If you want, suggestions are welcome.
