To expand using the shopping example, imagine being a player and seeing that Lightning sword you want to buy. You also see a holy-imbued talisman which could be very useful in your next adventure featuring tons of undead. But you can only afford one at their retail price. Well, you simply want...

Again, I do not mean to say that you should intentionally bore your players or DM. But if you happen to bore someone sometimes, it's okay. It isn't indicative of bad DM'ing or bad playing. Sometimes, a player or two gets really excited because they had big plans on how they were going to spend...

I would like to start a thread discussion about the dangers of "too much fun." But how can someone have "too much fun?" Especially when "fun" is the primary goal of the game? I think people make a point of macimizing/optimizing fun for both themselves and other players/DMs in the game. While a...

Every time I'm reminded of that TTRPG, I lose a little something inside me...

Because they would be in light, aka visible, while the enemies from behind would be in darkness aka unseen.

What I mean is that DM's will tend to make the room less detailed from an objective view during the adventure creation process. Where a room might have a chest, a bookcase with an ominous book, and an illusory wall that leads into a different room may be reduced to only having a chest and a...

Pinocchi- oh no!

I actually have a differing opinion. As someone that hardly ever uses player-facing maps, using darkness helps me as a DM quite a bit. Putting aside potential glitches, virtual tabletop maps usually end up having the players feel like they're either playing a board game or a computer strategy...

Light is often forgotten when playing D&D typically. It may be because a lot of mainstream adventure types are done outside during daytime hours, making light a non-factor. This can be relieving for both the party and DM since this means they don't have to track more variables to the game's...

When someone says they enjoy weird foods, like one of the comments on the tuna waffle recipes said, I will (jokingly!) tell them "Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that...I hope you get better..."

Snarf just won every game ever. Pure genius

I see you've also begun DM'ing for brand new players.

As I scroll through the thread, I see one where I least expect it..."Eek! Kill it! Kill it!"

Narratively, there's a freedom to it that let's certain stories be paced more naturally. Mechanically, not everyone likes resource management or are good at it. Just because, theoretically, a good wizard could have destroyed an encounter themselves doesn't mean the player behind the wizard is...

Whether or not the casters have full spell slots should be completely irrelevant to the fight. It should go without saying that if you care about that form of balance, you should make thoughtful encounters. Otherwise, the caster may end up being useless in most fights because the...

It's a tool I use for various reasons, depending on the circumstances. Usually, during travel sequences, players might forget the land is dangerous and uncaring. So sometimes, you throw a 3x deadly encounter at them (relevant to the area/worldbuilding/plot) and when they realize they might...

How it's like when people on the internet have an "unpopular opinion" on how "other women" should act and what rights they're allowed to have.

I would've listed them for you, but I'd reach the character limit

Okay, rude Thank you for your time, Asisreo
