    D&D 5E Change the length of the Rests to fit the type of game you wanna run.

    We do a short rest is 8 hours. Long rest is 5 days downtime. Also require training between levels. So far, over 6 years have passed in game and the PCs are level 10. Default rules that would have only taken the PCs a couple weeks. That definiltey affects the types of stories you can tell.

    Your PCs never take a vacation? Bummer.

    Worlds of Design: The Price of Advancement

    Without downtime to train, PCs level way too fast in 5e. You need it for time to make any sense. Otherwise, you have characters levelling daily.

    D&D General Best Version to Experience Tomb of Horrors? (+)

    I ran the 5e version. It was a total cakewalk in 5e ruining the whole point of it. I'd go original for this adventure.

    D&D 5E A campaign that lasts an entire (in-game) lifetime... what would this look like?

    Long rest = 1 week downtime. Add in training time to level and game time flies by.

    D&D General Run Away!

    If players act that way it's the DM's fault. They think the DM won't kill their PC. Probably because they never do. Kill a few. They'll learn and start to run.

    D&D 5E Cleaving through Creatures (optional rule)

    For any of those optional maneuvers in the DMG like Cleave, I made it so the PC has to spend 30 days downtime training (extra 1 GP per day in addition to lifestyle expenses) and earn the Cleave ability. Otherwise, we used it as written. In our current campaign one PC has earned Cleave.
