oh I am so stealing this. Zoink that is the best yet

thank you, this is a good rewrite and I love how you added "Post Apocalyptic Fantasy" bullet point

Okay good idea, more of the pitch not just of the world but how the game is being imagined. okay I need to think that out, like how many villains I want lol my answer will be yes at 1st level, and I will hope they realize my tongue is firmly in my cheek. but seriously, no, not unless I give...

so first pitch looks like this: "I want to set a D&D game inside a world based on the evil god ghoul form stargate. The pantheon you live under are keeping you as cattle and soldier and it is a hard life. Like the show there is other pantheons that is a bit better that you may be able to find...

okay so back to my initail ask... can you help me write a pitch. I already took a bunch out to get the bullet points someone else suggested. I need to find a way to pitch this so they know what I am doing and buy in. I literally think maybe I should copy/paste my inital thoughts here. or maybe...

in the past I have had to run without a session 0 once and with one once. However both games flopped The Standard for the group I am in now is to say we will DM, then give a quick 5 minute pitch, then schedule a session 0 for a game night when we would be playing our current campaign but...

this sounds interesting, but not something I want to try to run. Thank you, I think I am looking for more of a "Traditional" game to try to run first. Yours sounds more like a round robin or cooperative build world and part of what gave me the push to try to run was making the world as a mash...

okay, but how do I ask that before they make characters? if I get 2 palidens a sorcerer and 3 rogues they will bring very diffrent things then a ranger and 5 fighters right I am trying to get my idea down to a pitch, I guess an elevator pitch that is the first part of help I am asking for, did...

how do I create a world with no story and no setting for them to make characters in? I am really confused here. I am used to DMs coming to the table with anywhere from 1/2 page to a small note book of world details and a basic pitch for the world and plot. If I wait for them to make characters...

I mean in my mind the thing that will make them important and unique isn't power it's careing. The want to change things, the want to do things other then follow the god to do what they are told.

funny thing, the one time I met a DM who wanted to do 'critical fumbles' I did this to be able to reroll 1s and he freaked out after a few times of it working. I was not asked back to that game.

I would love to hear more insight into this. SHould the players (even at 1st level) be that important?

yes that limit was on purpose so they would learn about other gods in game especially other pantheons no the land I chose was very on purpose not on the front line with the non god controlled "protected freehold" it is next to another god in the same pantheon (kord and hextor) so when they...

Okay fair. There are 6 or 7 of us depending on the night. We have 1 guy who has been a DM for years, I have yet to see him as a player, but of the other 5 I have seen 2 DM and 3 not, although I heard 1 of them did back in 1e or 2e. Games are always narrative based. Always lore rich. I have...

THat sounds like an idea, but I have been conditioned to twitch at the word railroad. I get what you mean, but I need SOME choice. I just have to hope they take the hook at first

I think I will have some fun with "rats in the cellar" I will have rats eating food in the storage and a reward for killing them... but magic twist, the rats are magical and not eating but stealing the food and supplies. The Teifling "wizard" Valen who lives in the crooked grey tower on the...

The Gods have sent Avatars to ‘earth’ to create a great kingdom, and Boccob is the king of kings, with each lord under him controlling small territory. The whole world has not yet been shown the light, but slowly you and others are expanding to bring peace and prosperity to the world You live in...

oh boy... okay getting to work

i think I have some youtube to watch

okay great advise... so not a season of netflix but a season long choose your own adventure with open ended choices. that seems hard, I have to say DM looks easier from the player side right I want a setting a bunch of hooks and some cool NPC with concepts for more. I am going to write this...
