Let's fix the D&D 5e challenge rating system! HUMBLEWOOD TALES ON KICKSTARTER ▶▶ http://dm.humblewoodtales.com/

Designing fun and exciting games is at the heart of being a dungeon master in Dungeons & Dragons. And a key part of that is creating encounters with monsters and villains for characters to confront. AND to do that, DMs need a way to gauge the difficulty of said encounters. Enter the CHALLENGE RATING SYSTEM for D&D 5e. With this system and some math (or online calculators), game masters are able to calculate how hard or easy an encounter is for their Dungeons & Dragons players. Or, at least, they SHOULD be able to. The truth is, the challenge rating (CR) system in D&D doesn't work too well. In fact, one could argue that at certain levels of game play it is seriously flawed or outright broken. In this video, we discuss six ways dungeon masters can fix the horribly broken D&D 5e challenge rating system so that it (mostly) works (kind of). Admittedly, this is a bandaid. Someday a great genius out there will upcast mending at 15th level on the CR system, and then DMs everywhere will rejoice.
