I've had as many as 3 or 4 sessions that took an adventuring day, and as little as less than 1 session. It really depends on what's happening at that point of the adventure and what the PCs are doing. It doesn't have to be a 1 session to 1 day ratio.

Keep in mind that the number of encounters between long rests completely depends on the difficulty of the encounters. If they are running into a couple of difficult or deadly encounters early in the adventuring day, they're going to need a long rest much sooner than if they run into twice as...

This is not an answer to your specific question, but if they're abusing the long rest like that, it sounds like an opportunity for some encounters during the rests to put a stop to that.

My reading of the OP is that he is rolling initiative for every single round like older editions. That is something I'm glad is not part of 5E. OP, if this is the case, you only roll initiative at the beginning of any given combat, not after each round during that combat.

I just got a chance to see the new interface. It's a nice improvement for sure. Everything looks and works really well. The only other thing I think I'd like to see listed is the weapon type used for monster attacks. For example, the Bugbear lists the attack bonus, and the damage, but doesn't...

I don't use it in my games. I've just never cared for it before, and I have no interest in using it now.

I played around with it during the playtest and I think it would be fine as long as, like thalmin said, you use the MM monsters, and also keep the encounter difficulty tables in mind.

I've used a number of BECMI solo adventures successfully converted to 5E. Many of them (not all) are designed with a specific class in mind. You might get some ideas from some of them. Search this page for "solo" for a list of them...

No, definitely not, but if they ask about a monster, I'll generally let them make a nature check to see if their character knows something about the monster.

I started my kids when they were 7 and 9 and they had no trouble understanding how to play at that age. I didn't have them read any rules, and I didn't read them to them, I just gave them a basic description of the game, helped them choose their characters and options, and started playing. Then...

I do use minis for certain occasions, but mostly ToTM while I draw maps on grid paper.

22. Plan for at least 1 TPK per session. The players will love the memories years from now.

17. Remember the golden rule of D&D: It's supposed to be DM vs. players.

I think so. Those are the only two things she expressed regretting about the creation of the character. She said that the race and weapon, and the way she imagined her looking, were just too similar to her previous character. She seems pretty excited about the changes, and decided to give the...

She liked several of these ideas a lot. She ultimately decided to go with being raised by elves to believe that she was one of them, but finding out that she is actually human and that her ears were magically altered. Really good ideas and input from everyone. Thanks for the discussion and all...

Yeah, it looks to me like instead of Creature Size it should say something like "Water Condition." Maybe someone just grabbed a previously used table to fill with different info and forgot to change that header???

Another great idea, and something she can relate to as I know she was a fan of all things Disney princess related at one time.

Interestingly enough, this particular player has been talking about The Mandela Effect outside of gameplay. This plays very well into that same type of idea.

Some great ideas, and I especially like the Arwen reference. She will, too, as she's a fan.

And that seems to be your issue here. You're bringing assumptions from other posts you've read into mine, even though they don't apply. I think I was pretty clear in my first post. I'm not stumped (I listed my ideas) and she doesn't dislike any reason I have, I'm just looking for other possible...
