Let's hope the best!

It is like the last Star Wars movies. Old timers can die. The new generation needs different heroes. But you can still watch the old movies. Frozen in time.

Make it part of your world. Review opponent stats Add some details that fits the atmosphere e.g to dungeon rooms Think about the next module Change stupid names, details etc Make some colored notes and charts with story element connection details Drop the stupid parts Develop it with your ideas

It is not fair to nerf someone. It is always better to strengthen the others if someone is OP. Personally I do not think that this feat is OP though. In my long running party I have power gamers and casual players. They are at lvl 16 where a power gamers do 80 damage / round , the casuals 10...

In theory (but technically not) I am the heavyweight UFC champion 😉

Suicide is not a well accepted thing by divine beings, usually a sin. I would not allow any spells to bring the person back.

I usually use demon infested commoners who does creepy things. It takes many hours for the party to figure out that every single person is inhabited by evil spirits. I do not let them long rest, but I use combat scarcely. I use sanity and madness when they do certain things e.g.: they can get...

Play with regular rules. D&D 5 is a superhero game.

The setting is usually medieval, but players usually act like it is a superhero setting. High level adventurers does not fit. They are usually above the law like Superman or something. It is hard to accept to bow to a noble when you are a 20 th level hedge witch with disintegration memorized. Or...

Your expectations are totally different. It is your way or the highway. Find people who are equally committed.

One of my friends plays a campaign once a month. This is their active phase. Between these they play downtime in emails. They love it. In my campaigns there is no downtime. Sometimes (between significant events) we jump 4-5 years forward and we discuss how the world changed. Usually this is the...

There is no problem with DM - ing. The players enjoy it. But for me half the fun for being DM is to create my own stories. With a published material it is missing. I like reading published material for entertainment and ideas though. Running a campaign for half a year and not building my own...

I tie the advancement to certain number of sessions. I do not calculate XP based on combat because it would turn my players to murder hobos. I also keep the party synced even if someone misses some sessions. The number of sessions required to level up goes up at higher levels. I think I...

DO yoga before game sessions DO NOT run official campaigns Stick to Bronze Age DO some blogging DO some publishing

I usually burn out when we play officially published campaigns. E.g. in the middle of ToA. It is like being back in school again where you have to memorize things.

Sometimes players have to work to acquire full strength, and it gives more opportunity to play and more variety in encounters.

You need to find a safe pace for resting. It may involve a heroic journey and planning to get there, tricking the following enemies etc... Lots of rp possibilities etc. Using HD to heal is like being in an MMO or a superhero cartoon. It’s not very tempting. It’s not the fantasy l like.

In a living world a lot of things can happen. Time constraint is a big thing. The world is not just one dungeon and a safe village. NPCs and antagonists have their own objectives.

Long rest is one week. Short rest is one day. You heal 1+con during long rest. No hit dices to heal. We usually have 2-3 combat encounters per session. It works really well.

Dress like a rockstar and you can play and date a lot too 😊
