@ChrisPerkinsDnD @mikemearls @JeremyECrawford what is your favorite technique for giving out meaningful loot in your #dnd games?

IME, loot has meaning = time spent lusting after it * the difficulty in acquring it https://t.co/hlYlw5hH5X

@chrisperkinsdnd, @slyflourish, How do YOU determine what the players want so you can "Withold" it, in your campaigns?

I typically focus on creating NPCs they hate so much that they'd walk through the Nine Hells to get them. https://t.co/60hUJNh1g0

As someone who is working on building effective antagonists, any tips to get the hate flowing?

Make it personal – good antagonists do stuff that demand a response, like stealing the item the PCs need or killing a beloved NPC. https://t.co/xNl5spPrfr

What is the relationship between the NPCs and the loot? Is loot the means to ending the BBEGs?

I've found that if the loot is a hated NPCs sword or whatever, that's huge motivation and a good story for the campaign. https://t.co/qhiKd8Iy16

I role played Strahd in such a way they want to hunt him down right now, they are level 4. This is not a good thing lol.
