Were I handed the reins to One D&D, fixing Exhaustion would be pretty close to the bottom of my things to do list. In fact, given how much I like the 5th edition rules, and how they offer experimental DMs a cool tool to play with, it probably wouldn’t have been on the list at […]

…should take a long walk along a short pier. In my last post, I made some small use of all those ‘how to write and format a professional screenplay’ books I bought with stars in my eyes, and punched out a scene straight from the future of my D&D table in courier font. The point […]
