I absolutely love myself *and* my people, partially b/c it gets white people all tilted and "B-B-B-BUT ALL LIVES MATTER"

this is often actually easier than perfectly tailoring adventure balance! far less reliance on mechanics and number crunching (don't get me started on CR, dear ioun), much more on world description and player common sense (which granted may be lacking, but on their own heads be it)
real tabletop adventure balance is making risk/reward well-telegraphed, rather than ensuring that every encounter is going to fit into a perfect difficulty curve that challenges the players but never too much
let players decide what they're up for, and face down the dragon that's five levels higher than them with a solid plan and an escape route
