Reply To: D&D help wanted: Milestones variant and how much should I tell the players?

5e and I haven’t touched it since 3.5e.

Honest balanced negativity is appreciated.  Its a warning of the feedback I could get from my players.  I may yet change my mind on this method.  I don’t know if it will even become relevant for a long while.

Players should still want to do stuff to progress the story and earn loot rewards, and have fun with their friends.  They will still be progressing through gaining gold and magic items etc and some of these quests will be needed to unlock the main quests.  It’s a very sandbox module.  They probably won’t do or even find all the missions.  I know I’m overcomplicating it by giving them more to do than they need to and more available XP than is good for them, but I have my reasons, which I’d happily share but I don’t know if any of my players will see this thread.  I’ll PM you some details.
