D&D 5E Goodman Games What's coming down the Pike for 5e.

That’s very interesting. Lankhmar would be a good stretch of 5e. I’d really like to see a best of DCC converted to 5e just for funsies as well. Or some Dying Earth products.

The only way you could make bog-standard 5E deadly and challenging is to run bigger fights than suggested, restrict resting

Yes, bigger fights and rest restrictions are the main dials. How often do you allow rests...?

 

[Parmandur]

So I'm confused, do they have another TSR OAR on the way now...?

Did they announce something? Unfortunately, I had to interrupt my watching of the video. I'll try to finish it in the weekend.

Long rest once a day. Short rests twice a day. But I also do wandering monsters and any combat interrupts rests. So trying to long rest in a random dungeon hallway is…comedy gold. I try to push for timers to keep things moving and I generally do fewer, bigger fights.

Plus house rules.

Try more, like a lot more, smaller fights. Or more, bigger fights.

To me, the most important thing is the world making sense. There’s very few instances where having lots and lots and lots of combat make any sense at all.

Well, that's the disjunction with the game: 5E lives in a sort of action movie space, and that's where the challenge lies. Run it like John Wick or Taken, and it gets more deadly.

 

[Peter BOSCO'S]

All you need to do to make 5e dangerous is ignore the suggestion that one monster of their CR is an appropriate encounter and instead have them face a number of monsters equal to their party size, each of their CR.

Didn't watch the video, do they provide any clues about "Rule of Three"? Sounds like a Planescape reference, but that's out of their usual wheelhouse for 5E material.
