    D&D 5E Changing Rests Based on Story Elements?

    I've been thinking about how some people like the alternate method of Short Rest = 8 hours, Long Rest = 1 week. I admit it doesn't work for my table's preferred playstyle. And that's okay. But then I'm also considering changing how I want to handle overland travel. In a campaign where the PCs...

    D&D 5E For the Record: Mearls on Warlords (ca. 2013)

    My own contribution to this lively debate. I re-found this old transcript posted on the WotC site, taken from a podcast featuring Mearls and Thompson, circa sometime early 2013 I believe. I think its an interesting conversation on the topic and shows where their heads were at during the design...
