Here is a post i made on Reddit, but posting here, though i doubt most of you need it. "Roughly one-third of the rooms should remain empty. One-third should contain monsters with or without treasure, one-sixth traps and/or tricks, and the remaining one-sixth should be specially designed areas...

I think this is a cool method, but it leans toward the idea where the only way to go forward is combat or dealing with hostile situations, when i wish to encourage more types of play

So, I've been running a more open sandbox campaign, about a bunch of adventurers who explore dungeons in a big open world hexmap, and do quests and missions, and i made this cool thing i wanted to share. Basically using the Milestone XP rules from the DMG(p261) where " You can also award XP...

Its pretty easy, simply find monsters or create new monsters that function to the stat blocks in pathfinder. Magic Items are pretty easy to convert to 5E Rules directly really.(if it has a unique spell make it a unique ability in the weapon itself) And you can directly convert any Pathfinder DC...

I just tied it into milestone XP, where if you return with a Treasure Hoard, you get a chunk of Milestone XP, like described in 05E dmg. simply make this the only way to get XP, and you get the same effect

In order to make precisely controlled outcomes you need precisely controlled inputs, so Encounter per rest design is naturally awful. Because if your design your game around players NEEDING to blow resources to get around an encounter, otherwise the balance fails, your naturally limiting player...

I'd actually rather they make it a flexible campaign setting that gives players the tools to do what they want with it. A simple template for it to evolve into a half homebrew setting for its players, like they did with Ravenloft. The reason why i think this is the best approach is because it...

Ahh, i see now, you want smaller tight modules like the older days. I actually agree.

"Maybe a suitably generic collection of 30ish page adventures " Wait, that's what candlekeep Mysteries was, and you hated that.

Fair enough, I desire that aswell, i feel like they are simply saving anything like that for 2024 Relaunch basically

You didn't quite answer my question, what exactly are you looking for, out of curiousity.

I mean, what do you want?

I actually wrote a whole thread about how these dungeon turn rules are still in the game but kinda scattered. Maybe that can be of some use

Yea that how i felt basically, it only works with Gritty Realism, where you have to fight to your long rest. Though my issue with gritty realism, comes in dungeon crawls or more intensive campaigns, where its simply too slow. I usually try to pair it with a mechanic that allows temporary...

Hard agreed, the fact i had to do this, and refer to playtest materials just for general reference on basic design things they tested, and kept in the game is astonishing.

No need to compile these together because it's all there, and runs like a dream, gods work yall did morrus.

Yes posted it here https://www.enworld.org/threads/wilderness-exploration-according-to-the-core-rulebooks-of-5e.686602/

So just like with Dungeon Turns, the rules for Wilderness Travel for the playtest are still in the game just scattered, I'm going to piece them back together, help me fill out the holes. And tell me what you think. This will be far longer and more comprehensive as Wilderness Travel rules are far...

UPDATE. Adding in the Map Scale from the DMG. Apparently the DMG considers the size of Squares in a Dungeon to be 10ft, not 5, so the speed on average of a PC moving through the dungeon is 30 squares. This makes the Travel Pace rules make much more sense.

Just to clarify, the playtest had WIlderness Travel rules as well, and i was thinking about piecing those back together since they are also still in the game.
