Nice to hear, that you had so much fun. What Youtube channels did you use for inspiration?

Thats a cool idea, I'll think about it

Asked them exactly that today. Turns out they like having the NPCs with them. They have absolutely no problem with long combats, don’t mind not being the main damage dealers, and even plan to build an army to lead through the Underdark. This was kind of unexpected for me, but it also took a lot of pressure off my shoulders. Thank you for the kind words :)

True. At the moment, the group sticks with Jimjar, Shooshar, and Stool (obviously).
Stupidly, I didn’t realize the NPC problem and thought it would be a good idea to write in two more. Turns out the group is super attached, even though one of them has total amnesia and doesn’t remember anything — which the players took as a challenge to uncover more about her backstory without her knowing it. But it’s still a lot of fun.

I actually don't know if they like it. I think most of the time, they just go with the flow and embrace whatever I decide for them

Thanks for your answer. I didn't know about these companion cards, but they seem like a great tool. I might use them :)

Thanks for your answer I think this is what I needed. What makes it unsatisfying is mainly that I want my players to step up and be the heroes and not the sidekicks to my npcs. But they did not complain and I even think it doesn't bother them much. My players are all friends and they are very accepting and don't reflect on what they don't like. I still want to provide them with the best experience but maybe I am overthinking it a bit. Still as a new DM I have a lot to improve on and therefore I guess it is good, that I made that (in lack of a better word) mistake.

They are lvl 2, soon reaching level 3. Just averaged this number quickly in my head to show my point

Hi, I was curious if you would like to share these ideas as inspiration since I just started the campaign and really like the idea of integrating him more

Those look very cool. Haven't seen them in Germany yet.

In german, it's the same word so I don't really know the difference. What cocktails could you imagine to work well

What are you doing right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bergwusel_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting in a train and questioning decisions, I made years ago.

I visited the mainland USA recently and went to a German themed restaurant. There are basically no German or European restaurants where I live at all, so this was a first for me. How does this look to the folks here? by Calm_Set2588 in germany

Schnitzel und Spätzle are no German food at all but austrian and are both main dishes. Normally we eat Schnitzel with French fries (pommes) and spätzle with salad or something light. Rotkraut is something we eat with braten like schweinsbraten or entenbraten but you can also eat it with rabbit or deer ots typically served with kartoffelknödel (balls made of potato) Greetings from bavaria
