D&D General What's your best D&D tip (50 words or less)

[Aurel Guthrie]

As a player, narrate your failures.

As a dm, give your players a little more combat description other than "you hit/you miss"

 

[Stormonu]

Narrate in conjunction with your players whenever you can instead of rolling. Just rolling will always lead to disappointment over a good scene of player-DM banter.

 

[Greenstone.Walker]

For players - "Learn the rules."

From a recent game where we are over 20 sessions in but one player still doesn't know how to make an attack roll.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Play nice with others"

 

[MichaelSomething]

Sign up and regularly use Enworld.

 

[Stalker0]

overtime the plots fade, only the moments remain. Give your players moments where they feel cool and special, and the rest tends to itself

 

[Vaalingrade]

Remember: It's a game.

 

[bedir than]

It's ok good to remind the players what their characters know. It was only an hour of character time and you last played a month ago.

 

[Kurotowa]

Communicate out of game. The DM should explain the campaign concept, and players should coordinate their characters. Problems at the table should be solved through clear OOC discussion, not in-character sniping or hand-of-god punishments.

 

[Blue]

DM's, make sure to occasionally remind your players through their actions that they are heroes, and that they have grown powerful.
