Nah, do what Adventure is Nigh did. The first NPC they met was Jeremy Goodsex, and when a guard yelled at another guard, he used the name Jeremy. He then argued that it's a very common name, and lots of people are called Jeremy.
So for every NPC in season 1, about a quarter had the name Jeremy. It's a very common name.
Don't forget the Tease-dere! "Okay, so which of you touched the door handle again? ...The door opens. No, there wasn't a trap, I was just asking, haha."
But it's a specific he. It's referring to a specific person.
And why is a generic pronoun male?
What does being a robot have to do with anything? He still has male pronouns.
"He's"
So Gender is male? Interesting.
They said "design cues", not "designs". Research, don't plagiarise.
Actually, a good number of dungeons have a room or two you can completely skip. These usually hold bonus loot, like rupees or pieces of heart.
Heck, that shrine in BotW with the ball maze apparatus. Most people just flip it over and skip the maze. Some even just bomb jump over the gate and skip the apparatus.
Instead, I recommend you just accept that you might work on something the players won't see. Save that stuff for later.
Steve Irwin doesn't have enough scimitars, and Drizzt speaks too softly.
Perhaps we could bring out the drow bard Hyuu Jakum'ann?
Actually, dice have a better scottish accent than me by virtue of not having one at all. But you don't join my table for quality scottish accents.
I learned in my first adventure that what I've prepared to happen might just be stupid and unrealistic, so I'm never too attached to it. If the dice say it doesn't happen, they know better than me, so I just toss it. If I lie about the dice to make it happen anyway, I'm making a worse experience for everyone.
If a failure means a path is unavailable, see if you can open up a different path. If there are no other paths, just let them have this one for free.
Can someone make a drow Steve Irwin, please? Exploring the underdark in search of strange creatures and then wrestling them.
Adventure is Nigh (a D&D actual play starring Yahtzee) had both a prisoner and a guard called Jeremy in episode 1. It was pointed out, so roughly a quarter of the NPCs in season 1 were named Jeremy.
