Healing, Hurting, & Working While Wounded
Being hurt hurts…
Dropping to 0HP & Death Saves
Dropping to 0 Hit Points is “Bad”
A Small Note on Bulky Armor
Nobody spends all day in plate armor, nobody… except maybe a Death Knight
Magic
Magic in this game is going to be much more powerful, but much less useful, and much much less available when you need it
Magic Items
There aren’t going to be a whole lot of magic items… deal with it
Time Management
Gary Gygax is sometimes quoted as saying that unless an accurate calendar is kept there can be no meaningful game. I agree
Money
Barter is Better because Betty is Broke!
Race Modifications & Class Modifications
We’re going to throw back to 1st Edition AD&D (and Elizabeth Moon’s Paksenarrion) for a lot of this… It’s not fair, but it is inspiring and juicy
Experience & Leveling
Better, Stronger, Faster
Metagaming
Clarity of Intention, Speed in Comunication, Better Gameplay Overall
Flanking and Wolf-Pack Tactics
Getting Surrounded Is “Bad”
Roll a Bunch of Dice!
A method of speeding up and smoothing out role play situations
Skill Challenges
Some things from 4e have value… like manure has value, if you’re a farmer

One of the designers of D&D 5e made an error in judgment. We’re fixing that error for our game (contains swearing)
