Nice suggestion, threw it in my cart for later! Looks really cool.

Where do you get your battlemaps from? in c/[email protected]

Cze Peku are great! The worst part of Patreon is Patreon having carefully crafted the single most frustrating UI for finding something specific from the people you subscribe to. CzePeku's website gets around Patreon entirely, letting you just search their site for a link to the map download page.

Sigourney Weaver has been a prolific swamp dancer ever since she did Gorillas in the Mist back in '88. If she wants to grace your swamps with her dance, you let her. It's an honor.

I definitely had some specific games and circumstances in mind. The core of the message is "feel free to do what is right for your game, don't be bound by the rules."

Horse Grenades, Hand Shoes, and Hit Points -- Close Enough is Good Enough (archfossil.wordpress.com)
 

Identifying when to throw those last few hit points in the trash and call the fight a "win" for the adventurers is part of what separates a great GM from a good GM.

Your games pacing, the spotlight moment for your heavy hitters, and respecting your players time and emotional investment in a combat scene, are all much more important than the big bads last 10 HP.
