@craigofinspiration

The look of horror in the players' faces as they realize what is really going on.

Of the multitude of groups bidding for Paramount, the best one for fans is the one that seems to be winning -- Skydance

@bedirthan I guess I'm not up to date on this.Why is this best? Assuming Skydance has said positive things about Honor Among Thieves or something?

Very tempted to go to this panel. If there is a Q&A portion, what question would you ask? A legit one, not a dog pile question you savages. 😅

@orcusdorkus - "In an alternate reality where you worked on a 4.5 edition, what would have been different about it?"

Good question. I think the best example is 13th Age.

To do before today's #DnD session;

  • create paper-only version of my character in my Field Notes book
  • refine the map of pre-empire Sheljar
  • create some Canva templates to use for NPC notecards. My DM had me make the significant crew members of my PC's airxip

Mini NPCs - https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2017/03/09/npcs-for-social-and-exploration-encounters/

Crew of an airxip to minimize - https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2019/05/04/crew-of-an-large-airxip/

This map is better. It's not good. But it can probably work for now..

Looking back, I like this!

Maybe I can add some labels.

I'll be showing off some of my TTRPG maps today (03.06) on stream!

We'll discuss their context, why I made them, where I went wrong, how I can improve and what went down in the campaigns I used the maps in.

Come on by today at 19:00 GMT+2 (Berlin) on https://twitch.tv/imperorthefirst

I’ve been adding to my dwarven themed again – and this time I’ve made some doorways (with interchangeable doors).

As is usual with most of my stuff, it’s all made by gluing paper printouts to bits of cardboard :)

So, here's hoping you like ‘em!

Note that I have a video showing how I’ve put them together here (if you’re interested that is):

RPG tip from the archive: Start your session zero with the basic rules of the game. In particular, characters exist to go on cooperative fantastic adventures with their companions.

RPG tip: Print maps, write down one- or two-word descriptions.

Well my players killed the Pope in my game. Or more accurately the Pontiff of a fake church that was actually a front for the Kargat. But we were making Pope jokes the whole time.

He also died by getting what a player described as Falcon Punched, came back briefly as a ghoul because he quickly drank the vial of vampire blood he stole back from a character and almost immediately got disintegrated.

@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

I also like the idea that they can kind of meet Van Richten or more accurately see what he did. Which was put the other boys to rest while he took his own son home so they could have one final day together before he put him down as well.

Actually no, there is one spirit left. Baron Metus himself so the players can beat up his ghost and possibly dispel him. Because I think the players will enjoy beating up the ghost of a pedophile vampire.

RPG tip from the archive: If things are feeling directionless, it might be a good time to work out, with the players, what the current open quests are.

RPG tip: Use rolls for distance and motivation to change up random encounters.

cradac,
@cradac@dice.camp avatar

@slyflourish one of the only good things to come out of the 5e Spelljammer books is the attitude table. I really like to use it in random Encounter tables.

Some example rolls: 1d6, 1d10, 1d12, 2d6+3, ...
Just take a look at the probability curve. Do you want even distribution? 1d12
More scewed to indifferent? 2d6
Only indifferent and friendly? 1d8+4

Some questions if you play or run typical #dnd -type fantasy games where the player characters are "adventurers":

How did the reputation of the player characters develop when they get powerful? Did they get famous, infamous, or did they somehow manage to stay relatively anonymous? How did the attitude of rulers or other authorities change towards then, and how did the "common people?

And how did their reputation change the behavior of the characters themselves? Did they let it get to their heads? Did they try to leverage it into additional perks, or did they try to change the political landscape to something more of their liking?

This makes me sad. Paramount is flailing. They know people will watch, and yet they're quitting the already purchased #DnD series

@bedirthan Big changes happening at both companies simultaneously aren't going to help.

bedirthan,
@bedirthan@dice.camp avatar

@kevin yeah. I think if Paramount was stable they would have pushed forward with a movie sequel too
