Crimson Longinus's latest activity

Focusing on the OP (to avoid catching up on 34 pages of discussion), I tend to run my games less as plots/stories and more as...

A while ago I made a house rule that you may be able to take a bonus action in place of an action with DM approval. Yeah that's pretty...
