I'm not a big fan of the graphics. Like, give me Baldur's Gate 3's engine & design, but Wrath of the Righteous as the story, and I would throw my wallet to the moon to get it.

I keep threatening my players to switch to one of this retroclones, but they don't believe that I'd do it.

The mechanics are there, but the fluff might change, sometimes a lot.

I have indeed read the DMG from front to back. I still reference it all the time, though; and I can tell which sections I reference more than others. Encounter building guidelines? Not much. Magic items? All the f&$@ing time.

Ow, my soul. I just bought $250USD worth of props for my upcoming campaigns.

I wonder if there will be new art....that'd probably the only reason why I'd back it.

I get that; I nitpick words a lot, too! I will state, however, that I've been using the words "milestones" with regards to leveling since 3e days; I believe I picked it up from my first DM, not even in an actual D&D game, but a different game entirely. Looking back on it now, its crazy how...

Oh, God, yes. I ran my first campaign for 5e using milestones, and we all hated it. I use XP now, including the characters having different XP totals. That being said, I allow players that miss a session to get half XP if I have their character sheet, and if there's a new player, they start at...

I had a lot when I first started with 5e, but I've paired them down as much as possible; too many Houserules became too cumbersome and confusing: 1. You don't regain hit points after a long rest; you have to spend hit dice at the beginning of your long rest just as if it were a short rest. This...

Yah. Time to have an Adult Conversationᵀᴹ.

Yep, exactly. What I want though is Dead Gods from 2e Planescape, with the Great Modron March as episodic adventures across the planes for Adventurer's League. But, alas: I believe that Magic: The Gathering has taken the cake, as it were.

I'm expecting a Magic: The Gathering crossover.

With the exception of two of my players, the others have trouble remembering all their own abilities, rather than trying to run another character. As a DM, I've done it when a player can't join, for example, but I prefer not to if I can get away with it.

ha. My current campaign is up to 180k words between worldbuilding and actual planning. The character's current level? Seven. No, I'm not insane, why do you ask?

I've been burnt out before, but not with the game or DMing--but with the setting I was using. I just realized it was...well, in a word, Bad. Its flaws were too much and was driving me crazy. So, I switched settings and campaigns and started a new game; not much of an issue after that. I do find...

Here's my houserules to make things a bit more...interesting. Use variant encumbrance in the PHB--including coins. Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand, but its fun for our group and might be for yours. Failed death saving throws do not reset until you take a long rest or until you actually...

I keep threatening to do this to my players.

Currently, we roll two separate sets of 4d6d1, and you get to choose between the two sets; if neither set has a total modifier of +3 or higher, you get to reroll both or you can take the standard array. Makes for more powerful characters, but my groups and I find it fun. For my next campaign...

If it sells, this is probably the most likely scenario.

I wrote some 5e stuff for a 3pp, but not my own game (yet). I actually would prefer to make my own setting/adventures, but lack the time to do so; and, I must admit, I dearly love Paizo's Golarion setting too much to set it down.
