On "Return to the Village of Retired Adventurers"

"This chapter is quite long and covers a lot of expositional ground." I say, rubbing my chin thoughtfully. "Though it was the point where I decided to make something more of this idea than just random fragments. I found when I tried to divide it up that I had written a smooth narrative across each possible cut point. I also have this idea of each of these stories being small vignettes of a much larger campaign. I have never intended to provide a continuous narrative. In particular I have wanted to avoid rules-heavy battle scenes, which is why the fight between Mike and the goblins took place offstage. Both are principles I have violated in future chapters. So much for principles."
