Sly Flourish February 2020 Patreon Newsletter
🕑 Added 2020-02-03 00:35:18 +0000 UTCWelcome to the February 2020 Sly Flourish Patreon Newsletter!
Thanks to your support, Sly Flourish has a brand new newsletter. Signing up for this newsletter will have weekly Sly Flourish articles sent straight to your email inbox. This is a free service for everyone made possible with your support.
I've also been spending a lot of time in Sly Flourish Lazy DM's Minute Clinic Discord channel. Come on in if you want to relax and chat about D&D!
Thanks also to your support I spent a bunch of time looking at the best options for miniatures and tokens given how expensive pre-painted plastic miniatures can get. I'll have a couple of articles coming out about this in the near future but in the meantime you can check out this Youtube video on building lazy monster tokens, along with the one-page PDF printout for the tokens. I've also been spending a lot of time playing with Printable Heroes and really love them. This video by Carlos Berlitz has the best instructions for putting them together that I've seen.
Ruins of the Grendleroot has been out for general purchase for a month and people really seem to like it. I couldn't be happier with how it came out.

I’m really excited for Wildemount. I think its a historic moment for #dnd and I always love to lose myself in someone’s world. Congratulations to @wildrosemage, @matthewmercer, @jamesjhaeck, @JamesIntrocaso and the rest of the creators. It’s going to be awesome.
#dnd tip: Negotiate. Offer deals.
#dnd tip: Be prepares to shrink your dungeon to its most interesting rooms if time and pacing demand it.
One-line #dnd deadly encounter benchmark: An encounter is potentially deadly if the sum total of monster CRs is greater than half of the sum total of character levels (or a fourth if below 5th level). Keep that in your head and you don't have to reference any chart or tool.
#dnd tip: When in doubt, lean towards revealing too much.
Thank you again for your support of Sly Flourish!
