So I strongly agree with both your post and @uzirath's. With yours specifically as you touch on Skilled Play which is something I'm concerned with, and with uzirath's regarding the focus of resources. In BitD (I'm not sure if this is the flashback mechanic or something else), there is the thing...

You're referring to a mechanical process that limits or some logical reason through the fiction (i.e. DM decides)? D&D is very limited in a great many things. It is its strength and weakness.

@Snarf Zagyg you forgot to include a + thread.

What @tetrasodium and @Nefermandias rings true. 5e, does not work like some of the older editions, where the monsters on their own could kill, more often than not one requires to homebrew the monsters, create house rules and/or use GM fiat to seriously threaten or kill PCs. House Rules I know...

So just to bring it a little back to the OP, one way I use GM notes to assist me is with Skilled Play over the course of the campaign. Just to be clear I’m not referring to combat strategy or old school dungeoneering when discussing Skilled Play over the course of a campaign. I’m zeroing on...

We tried 1. Standard - Forced a high magic setting which I disliked as a DM, fully powered characters all the time 2. Conversion of SR to LR - Didn't solve the above issues 3. Gritty System - Players were frustrated, hurt verisimilitude, pacing issues 4. Die Roll for Recovery of Abilities tied...

Like I said in the other thread, the Journey supplement could be a complete stand-alone project. There is so much goodness one could include.

Like others have said audio will be your primary concern - which I found was the issue when playing online via discord or other. The table just has to engage more respectfully with one another as opposed to in-person. It is an adjustment and will slow the game down in parts. Combat visual is...

Sorry, I've been popping in and out of this convo so have not been following as closely - what are the secondary modifiers you are referring to? And second that Cthulhu book as a little too pricey for me right now.

Slight correction me thinks, the first para speaks to races/people, the second refers to classes. I don't think you intended that, right?

Temple of Elemental Evil provides the opportunity to work with various factions against the others. Ofc none of my tables ever took that path. :ROFLMAO:

A slight quibble, the titans in Greek mythology were the children of the primordials.

Personally, I think one could create a full stand-alone supplement on the Journey system alone.

Serenity Now! Thank Kagyar for the ignore thread feature.

Fun thread!
