It’s usually fine during the day (school/work hours) but yeah evening and weekends are almost entirely unplayable, so much so that my clan has basically stopped raiding until it’s over.

You can import things from 5e.tools using a module, IIRC it’s called Plutonium. We’re using it to import items, spells, classes, etc. and then the DM is homebrewing everything else.

I’d rather just use more beans than imitation meat because beans are already plenty tasty. That said, I’m not likely to make a meatless chili unless I’m having to feed someone who doesn’t eat meat.
