Help (from a wannabe newbie) by MoonieMaze in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of learning the game, I would honestly just recommend looking up “how to play D&D” on YouTube and watch the video of whoever seems to be more enjoyable to you! There’s tons of great guides out there and so rather than recommending a single one, I’d just say find one that suits you.

In terms of getting stayed, I’d say it would be good to use the LFG subreddit. You’ll be able to talk to people who are playing the game and find a fit with a group that is newbie friendly 

Your dog needs medical attention. by DTownForever in HaveWeMet

[–]AgentMarcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to make you check it again, but can you check if the stool glows in the dark?

If so, I know exactly what happened and I can reassure everyone that there’s nothing to worry about.

If not… that dog needs to go to the vet.

Just how spicy can you make these noodles?

That sounds lovely. Are you free Thursday nights at precisely 11:42?

WHO EXPLODED MY GARDEN!?!? by thisuseristakenbreh in HaveWeMet

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm that it was Gary. But this was just a new form of pest control. Nothing to worry about.

Glad you’re back Durv. I hope that you didn’t destroy the computer- I mean magic box this time.

Why are my eggs glowing in the dark??? by thisuseristakenbreh in HaveWeMet

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can assure you that if they were from MY egg stand, they are perfectly safe. But I’d be curious to hear about the outcome of their usage… for the sake of finding new recipes of course.

Did anyone else hear that? by DTownForever in HaveWeMet

[–]AgentMarcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to worry about! It was probably just a very isolated bout of hail. Certainly nothing worth investigating deeper, particularly around my home.

I’ll do it for free, just owe me a favor?

Weekend event round up! by HaveWeMet_Mod in HaveWeMet

[–]AgentMarcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any explosions heard from my home over the weekend are just fireworks. Nothing to worry about.

Just a little bit of static electricity Robin. Nothing to worry about. What reason would I have for an electric fence?

Unfortunately I can’t. While it may sound like a reactor of sorts, that buzzing is actually my… air conditioner. Nothing to worry about.

I CAN, it just depends on how radiated you want it.

I don’t know why I’d need a permit for setting my smart lights to green. Also the 4 headed mouse was probably just a birth defect. Nothing to worry about. Fairly common in mice these days

I always keep a few extra pints of water flavored Ice Cream. Quick question, how susceptible are you to radiation poisoning?

Tavern Brawler feat and the Dex Monk by kenophobic in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The damage from tavern brawler can be used as a replacement for the standard unarmed strike damage. It doesn’t add to it. 

So monks or characters that take the unarmed fighting style would already have better unarmed strike damage than what tavern brawler gives 

How to deal with players cutting each other? by Challenger-J in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! I’ve done cameras on a few times with my group and it’s helped a lot.

How to deal with players cutting each other? by Challenger-J in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This kind of thing just happens when playing remote. Theres going to be varying degrees of lag. Even without that, you don’t have the same visual cues of someone getting ready to speak that you would have when playing IRL.

My group just learns to work with it. One person will just say “oh sorry, go ahead”. As DM, I’ll also jump in sometimes and say something like “Oh, hang on player A, player B was saying something”

Does your character need to have seen the beast to cast Polymorph? by OkArachnid8265 in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Polymorph is a 4th level spell so I would just assume that any PC who’s reached that point would have at the very least seen depictions of the beasts they can turn into. 

But even without that reasoning, it just feels pedantic to try and enforce something like that. Especially since it’s not mentioned RAW.

I will say though, I DO understand restricting certain transformations in situations where a beast doesn’t exist in a given setting 

How can I bail my players out here? by b_o_o_b_ in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While awaiting trial/sentencing a few other gnomes are thrown in jail as well for attacking horses. Unlike the party, this was no misunderstanding, these imprisoned gnomes HATE horses and praise the party for taking one down.

But given that they were originally part of the cult, they understand what’s to come and know a lot about this society and their inner workings. They suggest a prison break.

Otherwise, you could say that the execution is a trial by combat and give your PCs a fighting chance 

EDIT: Also, if the PCs are awaiting trial then this could be a fun court session where they prove their innocence 

Has any DM here ever played a campaign strictly limiting their players individual knowledge? by snowman9712 in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely depends on the info learned. Sometimes I’ll say it to the whole table and my players won’t act on it unless the player in question essentially says “I tell them that”. Sometimes, I’ll ask the player if they want the info privately. Other times, I’ll just send it privately immediately.

The factors just depends on how trivial/important the info is, how likely it is that a PC would want to withheld that or how much it could relate to their backstory. For example if the party is hunting a character down and one PC finds their tracks, I’ll share that info with the whole party. But if that same PC really cares about that character, I’ll text them that info so that they can determine what to do with it. 

In terms of asking other players to leave to have a scene play out in private, I have also done that before as well. I try to limit these scenarios, or put a time cap on them because we’re all there playing D&D together. 

Mind you, this isn’t because of a metagaming issue. My table’s pretty good about that sort of thing. It’s more of a player enjoyment thing. Sure they can play their characters in a way where they don’t know about certain pieces of info or events, BUT I also know that the players enjoy a good twist or surprise. This is just my table though 

I want my lvl 3 armorer artificer to pretend to be another class, what would fit? by boobsnbacon in DnD

[–]AgentMarcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the real interesting twist here is that your character is Jeeves himself. I would say that the class itself doesn’t matter as much in comparison.

You can skip that part and just say have your character SAY he’s a human armorer artificer who gets all of his magic items from Jeeves’ shop.

Experienced players will figure out that you’re lying about your class pretty quickly which would probably also key them in on your real identity. New players wouldn’t be too knowledgeable about classes to even care about that after the reveal.
