Maybe you aren't supposed to? Having a short rest between combats seems to be the natural way that they are supposed to be used. There is nothing wrong with doom clocks, but I don't think constant doom clocks is the intended form of play.

My Dragonstrike board game has long disappeared, but I have fond memories of that cheezy video. Maybe it's time I invested in a black turtleneck...

That's true in the more dungeon-focused periods of the game, but I think during the story sections this adherence to sticking together is somewhat relaxed. Characters can be doing things like gathering information, studying, shopping, drinking at the tavern, and so on, any of which could take an...

I had considered 3.5 done and over with years ago when my group moved on to Pathfinder 1st edition, and from there to 5th edition. I have since switched groups, and my current one has stuck with 3.5.

Once upon a time I ran a 3.5 Dark Sun game for my group. My players really enjoyed it, but I was super stressed out by the experience. Ever since they have been begging me to do it again, and lately I have been giving it a little consideration. One of the things that I struggled at the outset...

I can't agree with splitting the books up any farther. As it is, each of these books runs $50 each, but they have everything you need to play. And the way modern commerce works, if you split 3 books into more, they are still going to cost $50 each. Remember many new players don't know what...

I hope they don't take out too much. The DMG is a pretty solid book as it is. While there is room for improvement, I would rather not lose any optional rules or things like that.

After discovering that "cold iron" was just a poetic way of saying "iron" I got kind of annoyed that D&D treated it like a special material. It feels like misinformation, to me. It wouldn't be the first time a mythical being was repelled by something commonplace. What is it vampires are...

Nice, me likey.

As far as Spelljammer, my guess is that we might get another adventure like Ghosts of Saltmarsh or Decent into Avernus that involves sailing around on the Astral Sea or something like that. I doubt it will be a straight conversion of Spelljammer, more like a 5e reimagining of the setting. I...

I started a re-read of The Crystal Shard which I remember loving as a teen but felt... off... reading as an adult. This may be because as I have grown older I have gotten a lot more critical of media. I've become a little skittish about revisiting those old D&D novels. Better they stay the way...

Look to the greeks for that. Art and Science were philosophically good because it elevated humanity. Also, Tymora is one half of the goddess Tyche, who was split into Tymora and Beshaba as the twin goddesses of fortune and misfortune, hence the good fortune part of Tyche getting her...

When I make characters, I like my decisions to feel like I had some input, or reasoning behind them. I want to avoid feeling like my character is copy/pasted or cookie cutter. At the same time, it's not like I rebel at any description (though sometimes that's fun too.) So, imagining that I had...

I would prefer a new edition of d20 modern to a modern D&D setting (if that makes sense.) But I would be on board for a pre-history D&D setting.

I would like very much to run an age-of-sail trade-based campaign. This would likely either be based on a heavily modified version of Spelljammer, or set on an "air world" resembling things like the video game Skies of Arcadia, the board game Sky Traders, or Jim Butcher's the Cinder Spires...

It makes every spell that a spellcaster casts that requires a save better. Unlike bonus action spells, there is no restriction on casting a spell and a reaction spell in the same turn. So now any save-or-die spells that are ordinarily risky to cast are now much deadlier, and more likely to be...
