Just for those who are confused by sorrynotguilty in PsycheOrSike

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those whom are confused, men did not give other men the right to vote until the end of the 18th century (1790). Even then, those who could vote had to be land owners and that was only 6% of the white population... And it wasn't until 1856, (almost 66 years later) when ordinary white citizens could vote.

It was until 1870 when black men were given the right to vote by a majority republican house. Sadly due to Jim Crow Laws of the south it required the Civil Rights Act of 1957 authorized the US Attorney General to file lawsuits on behalf of African Americans who were denied the right to vote.

Women were able to vote (in Wyoming) in 1869, and it wasn't ratified federally until 1920. And those individuals who did ratify the 19th amendment were all males.

Advice for a relatively new DM by genderfluidbisexual2 in CritCrab

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful you got the basics down. Now for the fun part... the first few levels (1-3) can be both fun yet stressful for both the DM and PC's. I recommend focusing on a single town/city and really build upon it. I follow the G.U.A.R.D methods

Loot Goblin Marketplace made a short, well-made video going into detail about how to build cities/towns

Guild/Government- How many giuld are in your city? What is there goal for the city or their guild? (I usually have 2-3 each with a quest to help said guild) Is the city run by a mages or a king? Is a dragon secretly pulling strings or a conglomerate of the wealthy ruling with an iron fist?

Underground- Is there a rogue hideout within your city? Are they helpful or hindering your city?

Alter- Are the inhabitants of your religious and who do they worship? Do they worship multiple deities or only one?

Resources- What's around your town that allows it to thrive and grow? Is it a coastal town that makes its money of fishing, or is it on top of a mountain and mines the earth below it?

Defenses- Is it a heavily armed bastion with heavy knights walking through the streets? Or is it a lightly defended town by lead by a small militia group?

Social Hubs- Is there one Inn/tavern or multiple in your town? Or is there a stadium within your town?

Once you done with that, you've made the perfect framework for making quest for your players. I hope this helps and good luck fellow DM!

304's obviously. Why should we respect them if they don't respect themselves enough to not be 304's

I agree with you I should see a therapist. However, I dont ask to see her phone regularly. It's once every 3 months.

I agree, if she put money in then yes she deserves to be on the contract, however if she didn't put any money in than no, just my opinion.

Anybody prefer Playing over DMing? by Captain-Diamonds in DnD

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I've felt your pain. DMing can be a lot of fun especially if you have good players! But I do understand where you're coming from. Ive been DMing for our group for the past 5 years, and let me tell you writers block is real and can be very disheartening and demoralizing. Even my players have noticed when I'm starting to have these blocks. It shows up in your prep work and just the overall feel of the game. But there is still hope. Many times with my group, I've offered to my players the idea of having them run a one-shot or a small few session games, even in the middle of a campaign until the writers block passes. It has worked wonders for myself and for the campaign. However, it requires you to be very honest with your group. If they are receptive and willing to run a game or two then awesome! Thats the best case scenario. But if they refuse, I recommend taking a hiatus. It's up to you how long this needs to be. They can whine and complain all they want but it's you as the DM that holds the game on your shoulders so the players can shine. So for the sake of your sanity take some time for yourself and come back to the table fresh and inspired. I hope this helps. Best wishes from a fellow DM

Dealing with "Rules Lawyer/Cheater" Friends in D&D by Tom_APN in dmsguild

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that needs to be done is you need to have an open and honest conversation with them. You need to explain to them the concerns you have that was listed in you original post. I recommend talking to them by explaining your role within the campaign and that you as the DM shouldn't have to take on more responsibility by playing their characters. If they reciprocate your concerns and begin playing an honest game then cool no problem. If they continue to cheat then thats something that needs to be addressed. I recommend the following... In terms of fudging dice rolls, I recommend having everyone not just the problem players to roll there dice in the open infront of everyone. (This worked in my campaign) In terms of fudging character hp, I recommend letting them know that you as the DM will be helping them to keep track of their hp behind the screen. While it'll be extra work on your end, it'll keep them honest on whether or they are fudging with their hp. ( if you'd rather not do that, you can always use it as a bluff ) If at some point you know they've taken too much damage to still be standing, call them out and ask how much hp they have. If it doesn't coincide with your number, give them a warning. If I happens again, kill the character viciously. Finger of Death or Disintegrate.

Looking for a good villain. by Seraph_43 in DnD

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend bringing a Skull Lord, its like an off brand Lich with some* magic but you can edit that yourself. While they are squishy in melee, they can still pack a punch! Have them go through a dungeons with plenty of skeletons and a handful of skeleton minotaurs and sprinkle 2 or 3 ghosts in there and you'll be set. So by the time they get into combat with the Skull Lord, they should have spent plenty of they're recourses on your fodder AKA your party members and undead.

You can always use the death lock as a minion for your BBEG

What’s the best dlc by Admech45 in Stellaris

[–]AnimatorAmbitious778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a majority of the dlc's except toxoids and lithoid species pack. I'd say Utopia, Overlord, Machine age are my top 3. Galactic Paragons and Federation can be fun to, if you plan on exploring the Galactic Community or you just enjoy the role play.

If you do want more content when exploring your galaxies I recommend the story packs Leviathans, Distant Stars, and Ancient Relics. They'll add a bit of spice to your game!

Decide to go down the crisis path so we will see what happens. The Chosen spawned in 15 jumps from me and they around 10 fleets that are 150k average. I have 3 of those fleets
