...adjusting effect durations to support gritty rest mechanics is trivial to house-rule for balance: just bump up all effects (beyond instantaneous) by one duration, i.e. one minute -> ten minutes, ten minutes -> one hour, one hour -> eight hours, eight hours -> one day, one day -> one week...

...quod erat demonstrandum...

...gritty realism with lifestyle rest mechanics works well for me: reins in both five-minute adventuring days and five-week adventuring careers but, rather than playing mother-may-i with the DM, players retain full agency over where and how they rest, with sufficient granularity for their...

...if your first game was in '77, it was either OD+D or holmes basic, so the ruleset was ambiguous and strictly RAW gameplay wasn't technically feasible nor even really comprehensible...

...bonus actions are not junior actions: they're special features limited to exactly one per turn, on your turn only (and only if available), and their design space is based upon hard choices between mutually-exclusive options...if you allow bonus actions to be performed as an action, you break...

...i think the market's on the downhill side of its post-OGL peak, regardless of AI saturation...

...i think APAs are a good analogy: the content ranges from rank amateur to semi-professional, the latter of which sometimes blur the line as they transition away from the `guild to general marketplace publishers... ...by virtue of professional curation, DnDbeyond enjoys a signal-to-noise...

...mastering dungeons recently posted an insightful assessment of what the guild has become: essentially a dead-end market even for high-profile folks like keith baker... edit: ...excepting a handful of charity PDFs independently-produced by in-house staff, i don't think wizards of the coast...

...ye gads, that was a fun module!..

...heck, wizards of the coast can't even finish implementing their own content on DnDbeyond; third parties are overwhelmingly searchable hypertext only... ...if wizards of the coast were offering a mechanically-integrated platform for third-party publishers, the risks of DnDbeyond dominating...

...not calling-out MCDM in particular, but i've been fortunate to have local access to those rare well-stocked retailers, and i've made a point to buy their stock at retail (even when it's significantly discounted online) because those shops are precious community resources, but after being...

...could just as well be that they don't see seminal works' author's descendents' opinions as relevant to their own opinion of unrelated products from the same publisher who celebrates the history of our hobby as a whole, including those seminal works...

...it felt pretty edgy / racy in arcades at the time... (etsy? ragey?)

...two reasons: firstly, yes, there is a substantial direct-to-consumer market which largely bypasses brick-and-mortar distribution, and secondly, a lot of new games developed in the wake of the OGL fiasco have only recently come to market with their first printings quickly sold out...

Thirty days in three years.

...i appreciate discounting late pledges, which are essentially preorders and thus a fundamentally different metric from crowdfunding support, but overtime mode (i.e. soft endings) absolutely skews the timing of crowdfunding support and i think should be included within core campaign totals for...
