One of the local (enemy) great houses start using goblin mercenaries to raid trade routes. However things go south fast when a raided caravan contains an ancient artifact of fiendish origin. Retrieving and understanding the object is of vital importance.

I've always considered wanting to end a campaign with a moment where the players are fighting a certain TPK merely trying to buy time for something else to happen to save the day (pre approved with group obviously)

I have to remind my table that hero points exist so often

Skywriting sounds cute hehe

I love the social aspect of getting to do some group storytelling with multiple people, and watching as everyone has their own impacts on the world.

Kids on Bikes looks so fun!! enjoy

I hate that you have to make that caveat. If 5e is what you enjoy playing then 5e is the best system for you, simple as that.

Oof my condolences

Other interests include pro wrestling, American football and baseball!!

That sounds so tiring but fulfilling at the same time!!
