I'll be running "The Tomb of Horrors" on Monday and most of the players are a bit new to D&D. I'm going to give them some time to look it up online before we start playing and i'm wondering if i should give them ten minutes or twenty. #DND #D&D #Tabletop #TombOfHorrors #Hashtag #Acererak #DMAdvice

DnD’s multiclassing rules do make multiclassing much easier for spellcasters, but that’s not the source of the martial/caster disparity.

The length of an adventuring day in DnD is hard to map to real-world sessions, but be mindful of how long you’re making players go before they can refresh resources like spell slots.

If you’re going to change a dnd adventure, don’t mess with the things that brought your group to that adventure

Sandbox-style DnD games can be fun, but a totally unguided experience can also be unsatisfying for players due to lack of direction.

DnD’s adventuring day is unrealistic for a lot of reasons, but the fact that it takes so much real-world time to get through is my biggest problem with it.

If you’re rolling for ability scores in DnD, you need to accept the inherent lack of balance. If you want balance, use point buy.

DnD’s adventuring day is a huge problem, in part because doing that much combat could take a group several weeks of play.

How do we deal with Wish in DnD, Pathfinder, and other TTRPGs? Most of the time your players won’t actively try to break stuff, but it’s okay so say “no” when they do.

If you’re running a written adventure, the treasure hoards are (probably) already in there.
#dnd #dmadvice #dnd5e #2024dnd
DnD 5e’s difficulty/pacing issues come from the little-known “adventuring day” rules, which most people didn’t know existed. Also, WotC removed them in the 2024 rules 🫠

What if we put dragons INSIDE of the dungeons and also the dragons?

DnD’s non-humanoid species provide some interesting trades compared to being humanoid, but I don’t think it’s going to affect the game in any huge way.
