Flanking is powerful for PCs... But is also the same for monsters. You have a fair point, flanking does grant a huge bonus in 5e that's easy to get. If it's so easy to obtain, why don't the monsters do it? I love it when PCs flank creature 1, then suddenly creature 2 sees his buddy in trouble...

In the games you've played, have you considered splitting the party as a viable option? As a DM, I've experienced this with my players. Sometimes it can be great and they can get more done, or it can get sour and someone can be easily abandoned. I'm also writing puzzles & traps that encourage...

Each DM preps in different ways. Here's how I do it. Prep my campaign I've got the gift of being pretty creative, and I work part-time, so I write (or type) most of my games. That being said, nobody can correct me if I ran a section "wrong". As long as the players have fun, as well as I, I...
