Looks for "New character tears it's way out of the old ones corpse, screaming for revenge and covered in it's predecessors viscera." ... ... ... No? Not an option? Same level then. (You get the behaviour you reward. If you penalize the players for the characters death, you wind up with...

Since obviously no one else is going to say it... Thank you OP. That was probably a fair amount of effort and work to do for our benefit, and I appreciate it.

If the whole group gets along and I don't? The problem isn't them, it's me.

I am not a them! I are an us!

I have been on that tour! I loved going on the Croaker. I loved the sample doorway in the waiting line with the sign (paraphrased) "If you cannot move through this, do not go on this tour." And "Space was so tight, nobody could take a shower until the food stored in the shower itself was...

I think the number of people who genuinely think old (or OSR rules) are written better than 5E rules is very small. Because ...welll... they aren't. But they do support a very different play process/experience. And some people enjoy that. A typewriter will never be as efficient and versatile a...

Damage by class instead of by weapon-anyone tried this? Well...Dungeon World, for one.

If players give me background, I will tie it into the campaign. If they don't, then it is assumed there is nothing exceptional in their background to speak of. "I am Bruce the Fighter. I come from the North" is fine if that's what the player wants. If I want to tie them into the "rebellion in...

I'm not sure which side of the debate you are actually on, but whichever one it is you are wrong and the way you play is bad.

Ok then. "Territorial"

Have you considered moving Region down a step and making the top area "Territory"?

Entertainer and party host. I am there to show the players a good time. No tactic or technique - including bald-faced lying to them about what my notes say and what the dice-behind-the-screen show - is off the table as long as it accomplishes that goal.

Hit locations, in a way that enables cool actions but doesn't devolve getting wounded into a gruesome torture-porn death spiral, without relying on DM fiat. (Even as a DM)

Ending Strahd by repeatedly refusing to be drawn into his castle (where he is at his strongest, what are we MORONS?), and instead drawing him out - we knew we were being scryed - by putting on a very public and very obscene puppet show with him as the main character. On open ground, driven by...

Player characters don't even obey the Law of Gravity. Why would they sweat something small-time like theft or murder or serial arson-in-a-twenty-foot-radius?

Do Podcasts count? "Mission to Zyxx". A mostly improv space opera that lovingly lampoons all the usual geek stuff we aren't talking about. At times very very funny. As with most improv, a big part of the joke comes from the actors trying to throw each other off stride. And then I want to...

Nothing done at a roleplaying gaming table should be judged by any other standards or criteria than "Do all the players in that game agree to it."

Bee-Holder It's like a regular beholder, but full of bees. So even if you defeat it...BEES!

CHUDs.

If you must have a limit, just pick a high but still measurable number of cantrip "slots" per short rest. 10 x Proficiency Bonus/short rest would work. It satisfies the conceptual space of "not being unlimited", without impacting actual play for anyone but low level Bladedancers and Warlocks.
