My group's current adventure with another DM is coming to a close, and we will need a story to run. The current DM wants to take a break, so I figured I might as well.It will be this group's first foray into 5e, and they have played every edition from BECMI to Pathfinder/3.x. I want to go a bit more OSR style with it, so this could work really well to help that feel. (Also raising death saves to DC 15, but allowing inspiration to auto-stabilize someone, only recovering 1/4 of Max Hit Dice on a long rest, and no HP, capping short rests to 1 Hit Die spent per hour resting, and adding AngryGM's exploration rules for dungeon-delving)I think I like this, but to do it right with a West Marches campaign, I will likely have to start the party near broke, removing the extra gold that normal character creation ends up with. Maybe limit them to no more than 1 gold after creation? Then again, I could leave it and see how much the first characters assume it will not be that dangerous, regardless of my warnings.I'm also going to have a lot of cash sinks in the town, allowing the players to advance the options available by spending their treasure, and allowing them to find ways to "unlock" other sub-classes and races. (Starting with only the PHB available.)</blockquote>
