Ravenloft/Wrath/etc -no DM -fast setup -I (personally, my group) will not play this more than 2 people as (the way we play) feels like too long /unengaging between turns. but i admit that could very well me a 'my group' problem. Heroquest -requires DM -(while i have not played it, looking at...

(I only skimmed after the initial post, so apologies for what i'm sure someone else already said in better words...) Aside from straight out asking them, if you want to TRY and continue at least for a little bit, one of the frustrations seems to be not knowing how to proceed. So perhaps find...

I enjoy both for different reasons. But referring to DMing specifically (1) It allows me to play different characters rather than just one the whole campaign (2) it lets me work my creative muscles (3) it helps me work on some social anxiety issues in a controlled environment

character contemplated all life choices

Players' actions frustrating DM

When I was younger in the 1980s I’d watch the Olympics as a child. As I got older I watched none. I now at least check out medal rankings every couple of days and make a game of it with family “guess who has the most medals by quantity now…” but that’s the most my interest is. The nephews tell...

“Well that’s poop” or “well, poop” or “poop” or “pooooooooooop” When I’m flustered or something is just going bad, fast. Said most frequently when I DM and players ask me a question I had not yet considered or taken a course of action wholly unexpected ( so always) “It is what it is” and “it’s...

Best Tunes of all time, no contest… Looney (Sorry, don’t mean to go on that tangent but it’s the ‘tunes’ I thought of )

While it is not a "problem" just something to consider. Low level PCs (that would be dealing with the low CR creatures) are often narratively assumed to be dealing with more mundane threats more commonly, with extraplanar beings being a random appearance growing more and more as PCs get higher...

Oh also, tell the players upfront at the start of the first session (before any of them has a chance to dazzle you with his/her read knowledge) that this is YOUR world and things may not be exactly as presented in published materials (thus giving yourself freedom to deviate and not have some...

Breathe Accept that you cannot account for everything Dive In with the parts that excite you for adventure and campaign building Fill in minor details that don't excite you but think you'll need ready for the basic premise Make a couple extra names and items and such to pull out on the fly when...

I am not looking up where it is mentioned, but I'm positive that when 5e came out, they referred to levels 1-4 as the "Apprentice tier" and 5-(something) was Heroic Tier of play and so on to paragon tier and epic tier or something else. Don't recall the other tiers but I do distinctly recall...

This may seem like an obvious answer already but I’m going to ask the question since the answer isn’t obvious to me wheb you say you want to rub a young justice. campaign, what exactly does that mean? does it mean it has to be superhero themed but d&d stats? With unique characters and lore and...

If you’re talking customizing from scratch each faith then that might be more effort than it’s worth (how often are priests brought up in your world, if religion a major component of not the world but PC level adventuring and context?). The exception being if it’ll bring you(the DM) JOY and you...

For my extra board games that I simply wasn’t playing, on boardgamegeek there was a forum for my area where people were selling boardgames. I posted them as free if they came to a shopping plaza a short walk from my house ( I don’t like strangers coming to my house) and zero effort on my part...

Does your “silly question “ come with a “silly walk”? If so, the ministry would like to speak to you. (Sorry don’t know why that came to mind when I saw the thread title. I’m amusing no one but myself but I’m still posting this. Carry on)

I’m not claiming this to be ‘the greatest ever’ by any stretch. But Ghosts on CBS in the US is light hearted silliness ( it’s based on a British series but I haven’t seen that so can’t compare it) that I look forward to every week lately. A couple inherit an old manor it has a...

I may have missed something, but around episode 3 or 4, when Clint is talking to his wife Laura on the phone. He says something like ‘more trouble to take care of’ and she immediately goes to ‘you don’t think this has anything to do with the watch?’ Did I miss something as to why, out of...

may you feel better soon (the same goes for anyone else that might be sick and is seeing this thread)
