I’ll be DMing some more 5e soon and I want to take the opportunity to try some different ways of playing (I’ll post my own suggestions as comments so they can start their own discussion threads). What alternate rules have you tried that you thought worked well? They can be larger changes to the game or little QoL tweaks (though if you can respond to the suggestion with “at this point just play [different game] instead” then that’s probably more than what I’m looking for!)
The lack of knowing when the next inspiration will come definitely encourages you to save them like potions in a video game, do you find this makes players use them way more often?
Definitely. In any given session, at least half my players have used that free inspiration by the end of it
