<p>Solstice Scar is one of my most memorable experiences in PFS and Medda was a great NPC! Tome of Righteous Respose is the scenario I think I've GM'd most in 1e, having made a huge 3D map of the scenario and running it as many times as possible at conventions; I absolutely loved all the paths you could take, being able to pseudo-customize it to fit the tactics- and power-level of the players in it, and the general creepy vibe that so many of its routes had that just came off as so perfectly Kaer Maga.</p>

My cat, Mordred, is a black American shorthair too. And yes, he's an attention monster too. When he has decreed it's time for attention, he will sit on my keyboard until he's sated. Or I exile him from my desk. And gods help me if I try to sleep past the time he has decreed for breakfast. Or be tardy with kitty treats.</p>I LOVE Bella!

This is such an honor. I can't believe I'm the PaizoCon 2022 Guest of Honor. Just floored.</p>
<p>OH! And I forgot another thing I like to do when prepping to write an adventure: I make a list of all existing creatures that could possibly be in the adventure, including weak and elite adjustments. It takes a while, but sometimes I get some interesting ideas from Bestiaries and the kinds of things I could include.</p>
<p>Then, when building encounters, I have this sorted-by-level shopping list of critters I can use. It really helps the brainstorm process!</p>
<p>I re-create it every time instead of re-using it because it forces me to engage with and think about each monster.</p>D'ah, thanks! This is such an honor. I can't believe I'm the PaizoCon 2022 Guest of Honor. Just floored.
