And frankly just a global time limit and number of death limit is looking very tedious. I love that there's a non stressful mode, it's a great idea, but since some time I would have switch to a more stressed campaign design even without throw to trash a campaign non stressful already started.

There are already several darkest dungeon classes that relate directly to D&D (Vestal to Cleric, Crusader to Paladin, etc), but there are some classes. I read it over, and I was inspired to create a D&D game based on it. Frankly when I see a special mission level 5 spawning, and only have one hero level 5 I just ignore for the sake of risk management. I recently found a post on this subreddit with a PDF link of the Darkest Dungeon monsters ( Here ).

I quoted the special missions, but common with a weeks countdown it would build much better a pressure by using a countdown. (borrowed to Storm Guard Darkness is Rising). Their level would follow a campaign planed progression. Some special missions to do in x weeks.

(borrowed to Storm Guard Darkness is Rising) Some special missions that adapt to average of party heroes level and no more level 0 missions past a point, later no more missions level 1, and so on. It could be an option with more strict levels requirement, like level 3 heroes can't do non level 3+ missions, and so on.

Myself I'm missing a mode option with a campaign with more rush forward constraints or incentives.
