I love the idea of the temple site of the original ritual gate existing in both places, and a source of information.
The temple exists underground, among the roots of a tree that no longer exists on this plane.
The magic is fading, and parcels of the forest are traveling through an elemental...
1) Empathy; thinking from the perspective of players, PC's, and NPC's.
2) Flexibility and adaptability; the absence of fixity. Your first or favorite idea adopted in isolation is never as fun as the spontaneous and collaborative ideas of your group.
3) Priorities; for me, the objective of TTRPG...
The party consists of a forest gnome Knowledge Cleric and human Land Druid who are both local to the city; and a half-elf Rogue, human Barbarian, and dragonborn Barbarian who arrived recently trying to escape their past.
The Druid and Cleric PC's are probably nostalgic for ancient times, and...
It could be as simple as climbing a butte and making observations which might take 2 hours. It could be as difficult and time consuming as ravines and difficult terrain with plant and animal identification, which could take weeks.
Decide what the cartographer expects the surveying to include...
Hey all,
New DM here.
Like many DM's, I enjoy creating large world changing events and thrusting my players into the thick of things. I'm finding it difficult to slow play the plot and allow the campaign to spiral out from the players naturally.
I am currently running a game in which the players...
He will start the adventure with his full caravan in tow. I'm sure the DM and I will come up with a reason for him to go on an adventure and leave the caravan behind.
The grapple mechanics are a trade off, control vs Dmg. I have played a grappler before and had a lot of fun. Having a grappler...
That is a great resource, that I never considered.
I will certainly be peppering Mickey's speech with this slang. I've never read Clockwork Orange. Maybe I'll have to put it at the top of the list.
Thanks!
I am preparing to play a character that is inspired by Brad Pitt's character from Snatch, "One Punch" Mickey O'Neil.
How would you play a character whose speech was mostly unintelligible? It sounds fun, but I could imagine it getting obnoxious, both to play and to play with.
The idea is that...
Update:
We played this scenario the other day, and I wanted to let you know how it was handled.
The Monk/ Druid came out from a bank of fog and addressed the Giants. They were skeptical at first, but very hungry and very discouraged by having nothing to bring back to their leader.
They each...
Have you concidered Arcane Trickster? Control flame alone is really useful in making shadows out to 60 feet and will save you ki points to make darkness. There are lots of really useful spells on the wizard list that won't require a high Int.
I love the tangents on this forum.
Goodberry OP or Not?
The background is that the party has just mopped the floor with a couple giants, bugbears, and a horde of goblins. The druid/ monk tracked them into the woods by himself. Rather than send them back to the boss empty handed, the character...
