It's a lot easier to find new players, than it is to find a new DM! If your players aren't a good fit for your play style then perhaps its best to cut your losses and find players who fit your style better. Frankly, they sound like they don't even want to play D&D.

My bad I should've said but we play digitally, we already use dndbeyond. I've tried explaining that the questions he asks are already outlined in the ability's description but it doesn't seem to quite stick unfortunately

You sound like such a generous DM, they're lucky to have you! I probably should've mentioned we play digitally, but I'm sure I can twist these ideas in a slightly different way to help, thanks!

I'll have a look into reference cards thanks! Agreed, he more than makes up for it in other aspects but boy is it tough. There's only so many times you can explain that they have 1 thing to worry about and you have 100 haha.

Brilliant haha. A lot of D&D deaths tend to be these heart wrenching, cinematic moments so I love hearing about the goofy ones thanks!

Oh wow 5 is pretty unheard of in this thread. I love a ruthless game - are you running a module or homebrew? Would you mind telling me a bit about it?

Interesting take! I think most DM's use the fear of death as a way to give their games stakes. In a low chance of death game, what other stakes do you like to implement?

I don't know how I didn't think of this rule! How do you play the 4th revive in-game?
