    I assume you already discussed this with your players – I know that in my main player group just 2 of the 8 are willing to GM regularly, some will do oneshots, but also some freak out by the thought of having to lead a session.

    I like the episodic approach, I’ve been thinking about that for my 2nd group since we only play once per month and it is hard for most to remember story elements that happened two or more sessiona ago (and note taking is hard 🤔).

    On the other hand I like having some sort of continuity that might turn into an overarching story later on. Things like recurring NPCs, friendly or villainous. If there is no continuity at all, I fear it might turn uninteresting rather quickly.

    But ‘monster of the week’ is an existing format (there’s even a published game by that name)













  • 5e RAW, they remain invisible. However, using the tinderbox will make noise so enemies will likely notice that.

    In the 2024 rules, dealing damage (even if not by attacking) causes invisibility to end.

    NOTE: both versions of the rules (see the oil item description) state that in this scenario, an enemy only takes damage if it enters or ends its turn in the oiled space. Starting their turn in the burning oil does not cause damage, so just moving out of the space will prevent the damage. The lighting of the oil also does not cause immediate damage
