So someone on reddit did an analysis that included the time the dragon spends burning, and it doesn't help - you can read it here. Essentially, the closest town is a 35 hour dog sled ride away, but that's the first town to be burned. Bryn Shander is the only town they can get to with any time to...

Yeah, I've seen people do the analysis for chapter 4 and it turns out that the PC's only chance is to go straight to the final town on the route to get there before the dragon does - and that's with a bit of generosity from the DM. I'm probably going to have Velynne's sled be pulled by zombie...

The same distance as usual (DM discretion I believe) but with disadvantage on perception checks relying on sight.

It has over 40 pages of monsters, which is likely where the extra pages come from.

If you're looking for inspiration or to see how other people approached this, the most complete and polished warlord homebrew I've seen is Kibbles Tasty's Warlord class - he's a fairly well respected and prolific homebrewer in the Unearthed Arcana subreddit.

I don't think it's as much to do with the complexity of the rules, but how they are presented. 5e's terrible indexing alone is enough to make anyone see there's clear room for improvement in how the PHB was written.

It doesn't help that whenever an interested person on somewhere like reddit makes a post asking what they need to do to learn the game, inevitably there are several people telling them to read the PHB cover to cover, which is ridiculous. I can't imagine that is going to encourage new people to...

She mentioned later in the video she is fine for money - her partner is still earning and they have enough savings.

Designer, we know she headed up Ghosts of Saltmarsh and the Rick and Morty box set, and she was also working on an as yet unreleased book of adventures.

My wild guess is that she's referring to the unintuitive parts of the game's design that make sense to old timers only because they learnt about it years ago - things like character level and spell level being separate but given the same keyword, something that apparently trips up a lot of new...

If people are interested, she talks about leaving a little at the start of this video around 4:30. She specifically calls out the new user experience for D&D as being "piss poor", which was something she wanted to make better while she was there. Interestingly to me (though perhaps not...

I was set to run a Ravnica game but unfortunately that got put on hold when Covid hit. The plan was for each player to be a member of a secret organisation intent on discovering who House Dimir really are and exposing them to Ravnica at large. Interestingly, in a standard D&D game I don't like...

How do your groups typically determine what constitutes a "reasonable" plan? No plan is ever perfect, and any plan can have flaws pointed out in it. I've been in groups which end up going back and forth on plans for way too long, as each time something is suggested another player will point out...

What stops the enemy simply doing the same thing back to them immediately on their turn?

After running Storm King's Thunder which lacks boxed text, I realised how useful it is for letting the GM know quickly exactly what information should be readily available to the PCs. When it's taken away, the GM still needs to describe the room to the players but now the relevant information is...

An incredibly enthusiastic supporter of something.

Yeah, this exists - it's an extension called Beyond 20 and it gives you clickable buttons on all your abilities and attacks than roll through to your Roll20 campaign. The HP also links through so you only need to track your D&D Beyond sheet, but your HP updates in Roll20 so others can see at a...

He mentioned in a post a few years ago that he went through three spools of PLA which was about $75 (for just the Monster Manual). So, after the initial investment for the printer (which are apparently always getting cheaper) it's a very cost efficient way to get minis if you're happy to paint...
