SOB Series Underway
Hey all. As the SOB series continues, please continue to feed me questions as they come to you.
I like receiving questions from you all. It really helps drive the content of the videos in a good direction, so thank you! You can DM them to me here, or post them here.

I think you already mentioned you might cover persistent campaign ideas like Hexcrawl but I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on that. I know you mentioned in your Frontier Tows that you track different buildings/towns after you visit. That makes sense. (Although I guess you could thematically/RP the changing buildings as the business nature of boom/bust gold towns with stores doing well or going bust and disappearing overnight!). I like having a campaign/narrative arc and hope Flying Frogs considers some of how Gloomhaven interacts with players during campaign phases. If I had a gaming group it’d probably be a lesser issue but playing solo I appreciate a bit more narrative/branching adventures with a conclusion.
Yep! I will be devoting at least 1 episode to Hexcrawl, and at least 1 episode to how I play a campaign of SOB. I prefer character driven, non-narrative campaigns like SOB / WHQ, and coming up with the stories myself as I connect the dots between what has happened.
^ if I followed the buyer's guide, would I be using all the content in each game (like SotLT)?
You can. I create subsets of different things. Everything from every SOB release can be mixed together.
How do you mix all the content together? I have watched a few SOB videos and have not really seen the emergent story telling you have mentioned. Maybe some examples?
The story is just all the random stuff that happens to you while you play. It's like Talisman, WHQ, AHQ, in that you have to connect the dots while you play and come up with your own story based on what happens to your character.
