    Kitbashing the Sandbox

    Executive summary: please recommend adventure mods for a prefab, setting-light sandbox campaign. Thanks heaps! Yes, a sandbox thread. My bad. :heh: However, I’d like to suggest a thread topic focused more on methods than definitions. Broad and shallow; less QQ, more pew pew. ;) I’m going to...

    Extended Rest Topic Roundup

    Hey All, I've been collecting ENW threads discussing Extended Rests, vis-à-vis Recovery Economy and Adventuring Day concerns. I've found most of the threads I knew of previously, and a few I didn't, but am still missing one. I could have sworn there was a recent thread (last 1 - 2 months)...
