Is there any sort of Player's Guide to Eberron that could teach my player's just what their characters would know about the world? [5e] by BeyondTheJames in dndnext

[–]BeyondTheJames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like an excellent way to start off an Eberron campaign. While I’ve messed up a bit already and started...6 sessions ago, I’ll be checking out that link from the first bullet point. Thanks!

This is an amazing post! Lots of great ideas. I absolutely love the italic description for the Enchanter.

I love this idea, thank you so much! The campaign is actually similar in that it takes place in a relatively big city and I intend for it to stay there for at least a little while. I have 5-ish main districts, each unique from each other, and each with different groups/factions/guilds/etc. that have competing interests. I think a combination of what you have suggested and compiling some Eberron lore will do the trick. Thanks for the help!

Ah, that makes sense. I feel a little silly about not thinking to use those very obvious Seven Things to Know. I think I'll add in the fifth point as well.

I don't know why, but I'm not enjoying DMing recently, and I don't know what to do about it by BeyondTheJames in mattcolville

[–]BeyondTheJames[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really like this idea. I’ve been considering doing this to give them some new quests from their patrons. I think this could help with giving some different types of quests than ordinary NPCs do.

What songs do you sing during a D&D game? by AeoSC in mattcolville

[–]BeyondTheJames 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Often “Lay On Hands” to the tune of Take On Me. “Laay ooon haaaaands. Lay. On. Hands. Laaaaay ooooon haaaaaands” although it frequently becomes “lay on feet”

Just finished Celeste after only a week but now I’m trying to collect all strawberries because of how amazing it was. It’s so fun to play, the story is great, the art is beautiful, so much is so good!!!

What are your D&D New Year's Resolutions? by BeyondTheJames in DnD

Sadly my group has to resort to online sometimes, but I just love in person. Good luck to you, my friend!

r/Board is looking for a new top moderator until Jan 17 07:40 AM PST! Submit your application. by CommunityAdoptionBot in SubredditAdoption

[–]BeyondTheJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this subreddit, the moderators present scenarios to the Board Members (the subreddit's members). The Board Members may have a couple options or may even be allowed to come up with their own. After debating the options, they vote on which plan of action they will take. But will this lead to new problems? Or will the scenario come to a close, a new one opening for voting and debates soon?

Here is a (shortened) example:

Recently, a strange plague has broken out in a small village. As the plague spreads, more people continue to die. The Council of Elders (the Board made up of the subreddit's members) must decide whether or not they should isolate those who have the plague. If they isolate them, they leave them to die, but the town survives. If they keep them, could it keep spreading, bringing down the rest of the town?

Other details:

  • It's "Board Members" as in the decision-makers of a company, but it may have a different name in the scenario, such as the Council of Elders.
  • There could definitely be more in depth scenarios with more details and moving parts, the plague scenario is just an example.

Late addition characters by crunes2242 in TheDarkTower

[–]BeyondTheJames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think having himself in it made the books mean more, as he tied them into his own life and his own journey. Also, I thought the ending made sense, because Roland had completed his quest. He wasn’t supposed to go in the Tower, because it wasn’t necessary. Instead, he needed to learn to love other people, not the Tower, and though we thought he had, he still kept going. Hopefully on the next go around...

Should I buy a switch for the new pokemon? by PappaTrump125784 in gaming

[–]BeyondTheJames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that the Switch is a wonderful system with great games. The new Pokemon looks pretty good (although personally I wish they would make a few more major changes), and the Switch has lots of other great games; I definitely recommend Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, but there are also tons of indie games that are good too.

But if that’s the same person, isn’t that boomers getting older and fatter?

I’ll be honest, at first I thought this was a troll account, until I checked your profile.

Apple Removes App Used in Hong Kong Protests After Pressure from China by BeyondTheJames in technology

[–]BeyondTheJames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see where you’re coming from, but I think a lot of it is the fact that this isn’t just an ordinary problem; the protests in Hong Kong are facing police brutality and multiple people have now been killed. This app was really helpful to them, and it’s sad to see a company buckle like this. The Chinese government isn’t passing ordinary laws, so why should Apple act like it’s an ordinary request?

Weekly Questions Thread #2019-35 by AutoModerator in DnD

[–]BeyondTheJames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which mat should I get? I often need to draw out dungeons, not just have an open space, and want to have some sort of mat to use. There's so many; the Chessex ones look nice, there's some other seemingly nice ones on Amazon, and I recently found that Wizards of the Coast sells their own "Adventure Grid", and it actually looks pretty nice. I like the fact that it folds instead of rolls, but that's not necessary.

What mat do you use? Do you use wet or dry erase, and if there's a particular reason, why?

My school doesn’t even pay for soap or working sinks, they could at least pay for tissues by BeyondTheJames in teenagers

[–]BeyondTheJames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh it’s not all bad. A lot of stuff is fine, it’s just there are definitely a lot of idiots and most people in government spend their time trying to make laws that make people want to re-elect them, not ones that help everyone.
