How to evaluate a source
If a forced boss fight fights the fiction, prefer a bargain or retreat. Legend beats forced boss theater—and we invent no merch.
Three rumors, one lair complication, one exit ramp if the slog starts—then let bargains collide.
One-page house rulings for flight, breath, and lair actions. Repeat calls get ink.
Track rumor heat, tribute, and regional effects like hit points—they are the pressure before the fight.
