Introducing: The Battle Box!
Today we pull back the curtain on Advanced Advantage! Most backers of this campaign will get Advanced Advantage Playtest Packet #2. Advanced Advantage is our in-house 5E Rules Enhancement we’ve been distilling in the Goodman Games 5E Game Labs for nearly two years. Backers of our previous campaign received Packet #1 (also available as an add-on during this campaign). We plan to release two more packets this year.
Naturally, Packet #2 will focus on monsters. In addition to a mini-manual of monsters using Advanced Advantage rules, we would like to introduce the Battle Box! Back in previous editions, we often talk about “economy of words”. How did game designers cram so much action into an 8 page book (see the classic giant’s adventures, for example)? Well, one of the ways using “shorthand” to convey lots of game rules. In those old classic adventures, a monster’s stats were typically 2-4 lines long. And you still had everything you needed to run the encounter. Read more about the Battle Box!
