How to Use the Rule of Cool | 5e Dungeons & Dragons | Web DM
Channel: Web DM
Date: 2019-08-22

The Rule of Cool is a tool. Bending the rules when players want to do cool things is a great way to enhance player agency in DnD and TTRPG, but it can lead to problems when it's overused.  Today we talk about how we use it to make our D&D games more fun.
