I love Stardew Valley but I do tend to struggle with this. Frequently, I find myself slipping into checklist mode (“gotta give a quartz to this person, run over to Clint to get cracking, get back in time to get the iron out”).

It is super satisfying to design a cool farm, though!

I know! This was, of course, just for the pdfs. I regret not getting them for sure! That’s why I’m not letting that’s Dolmenwood Kickstarter slip through my fingers.

I’m exactly the same! The procedural style of gameplay takes so much self-imposed pressure off my shoulders, and random tables really help spark my creativity and allows me to GM more comfortably.

I know what you mean! When Arden Vul was in that 25 euro bundle a while ago, I skipped it because it didn’t seem feasible or fun to run. Now that 3DSDTL have been running it, I regret not buying it so cheaply back then!

Same here! I’d given up on GMing for a few years but this made me want to get back into it.

3D6DTL is a wonderful podcast! I love the proactive attitude from the players, the ever-present “yes and” attitude from Jon, and just the style and mood overall!

Last Day of June was also a lovely and emotional experience for me. I hope you’ll enjoy it as well!
