Sure, and while I am not disagreeing with B (very probably it would be equally chaotic for my group and would not work for their tastes), I have for principle always to attempt to play or GM a new system first by the book before starting to house rule it. Even if I do not like a specific rule or...

More about the OP wants... Once I had compared the expected wealth by level with the prices on PHB and DMG just to downgrade lots of them, once one of my campaigns also suppose the players would not take lots of money. Several items, buildings, etc... are priced so high because they account the...

Paraphrasing Neil Gaiman, "Damned decimal system. It is difficult to remember that 10 milimetres are 1 centimetre, 10 centimetres are 1 decimetre, 10 decimetres are 1 metre, and 1000 metres are 1 kilometre. It is easier to remember thar 12 inches are 1 foot, 3 feet are 1 yard, and 1760 yards are...

I have a house rule that if you are proficient with the weapon you use to deal damage, you add your proficiency bonus to its damage roll too.

I ask to the player tell me how the character want to convince, intimidate, persuade, charm, bluff, etc... They do not need to tell me the exact words, but the general lines of how the attempt will be made ("I will appeal to the queen's sense of honor", "I will flatter him by recognizing his...

Vampire the Masquerade 2nd Edition. While I loved D&D that time, that showed me the game I played and GM'ed most of the 1990's. A second thought would be 7th Sea 1st Edition. I read that book and found it would be very fun to play. I was right. Sad 2nd Edition has no the same jibe for me.

Wolves are a very common menace in my first level campaigns. More than goblins and kobolds I think. A few levels after, a cave bear or two are also common.

Traps are puzzles also serve for the obstacle purposes. We need to go down this corridor or open that door we know is trapped. How we can disarm it or avoid it to keep going?

Every time someone tells me "10 years ago...", my mind backs to 1990s instead of 2010s.

I remember a game that have an "antisphynx"... She gave you an answer and you should come with a good riddle question for that or she would devour you.

Hehehe... I just discovered D&D in my teens, around 1988... But my younger sister-in-law born in 2004, two months before the launch of World of Warcraft. I still measure her age by that parameter :p

I never thought conciously about that, but suddenly I perceived I have the same age as D&D once I am turning 50 years old this year. Who else is hitting their first half century this year?

There are some Brazilian songs that could span an entire campaign or at least a good one shot. But once they are in Portuguese, there is no much sense in sharing them here ;)

Well, I have fun to do bad things to barbarians too :p

Same way I would not play in a table where I do not trust the DM, I never DM for players that not trust me. So, for me, either as player or not, secret rolls are facts of life.

Spanish Inquisition? After all, no one expects it. In a more serious note: orcs. No, I do not equate them to any real culture/ethnicity/background. My orcs are just the bad guy races/species/ancestry/whatever. No real world equivalent. Just bad fantasy people in a fantasy world making what bad...

For a moment, I supposed you would write about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We could just call it 2e, where e is not for "edition", but for the math constant. After all, 2e is about 5.436556... :p

Much of the Wild Beyond the Witchlight is good for any adventure where fey appear. I did that lots, using silly fey NPCs or strange events and curses from that book.
