I am going to help someone getting started with D&D (3.5). she is very interested and understands more or less the mechanics of the game is and such. We played through the “Basic Game” (the dnd starter box) with one other person and each player was controlling two characters.
I have been playing 3.0/3.5 since about 2004 and know my way around the dice; from both sides, DM and Player.
I want to make some houserules with objective of minimizing micro-management. We want to speed up to game and make it more fun. What are some good suggestions? What are other things that I could change/tweak to make the game 'easier' without changing the game completely?
Something that I already did was:
No encumberment. Easier for everyone's bookkeeping and after they have access to port-holes / bags of holding and such it wouldn't really matter anyway. Basically “you can carry as much as you want but keep it reasonable when shopping and don't try to swim without dropping your backpack first”
All of those houserules will probably fall away as some goes on and 'raises her knowledge (gaming) skill' :smallwink:
PS: why is the search function saying '500 Internal Server Error' so often?
