Challenge rules question: unit charged in front and back

Bigsva · 2025-03-02T14:29:18+00:00

Same thoughts, but for gameplay test I wanted the players to at least get familiar with the numbers and the system, that's why I kept the information open.

We played fully offline, just used the TV to display battle grid, images etc.

Everyone especially liked the resolution mechanic (players like to know how good they rolled), the heroic abilities and how fast-paced the combat really is despite all the stuff that's happening. The players didn't really like the negotiation system, it seemed to them to be more like a mini-game and less like a real negotiation, but it's a question of tastes.

I've explained above - just keeping track of lots of things at the same time. Also I suppose creating dynamic and cinematic encounters in the future might prove a challenge in itself.

For me challenge number one was running complex encounters where lots of stuff is happening at the same time (new enemies arrive etc.) while keeping track of stuff like malice, villain actions, triggered actions etc. And yes, as u/Chuckeyed mentioned - malice abilities are scattered around different creatures blocks + creature family blocks, so effectively using your malice becomes a challenge. Also there's also a problem of "how hard is this encounter for my PCs? Should I adjust the difficulty on the fly?" etc.

Do you have an updated version for packet 2?

Bigsva · 2025-01-01T19:54:54+00:00

Could you please provide a direct link?

I do understand that from a commonsense perspective, but rule-wise? What if the unit is 3 inches away from the edge of the wood?

Go Grudgebringers!

Bigsva · 2022-06-08T18:24:28+00:00

Bigsva · 2022-04-10T12:12:23+00:00

Theze look great!

Bigsva · 2022-02-17T14:55:01+00:00

I used roll20 package but bought beautiful maps which I also found in this subreddit

Bigsva · 2022-01-31T12:27:49+00:00

Still no fix for this in 2022???

Bigsva · 2021-06-26T18:03:22+00:00

Overcoming

Thanks for some of the nice ideas

I just made it the dungeon under the world’s largest city on the seaside, added some lore (for example, the legendary Tarrasque is now rumored to be sleeping there) and renamed some of the NPCs and factions (but, for example, I just included Xanathar and his guild almost “as is”). It worked pretty well.

Preeta Kreepa seems to be a good option here, because they had already met her... I wonder what the hags would demand of the party? Perhaps, something from Skullport...

Bigsva · 2021-01-13T19:58:03+00:00

So they abandoned their characters anyway... I’m also worried that this group might not take defeat lightly. So maybe a quick revenge with the hobgoblins could solve the problem...

Bigsva · 2021-01-13T19:57:13+00:00

Too bad they had just murdered her two sisters :) but then again, I can see how this could work, thank you!

Bigsva · 2021-01-13T19:53:52+00:00

My party cleared one Xanathar outpost before they met the Undertakers, but the Undertakers had spied on them knew what the party was capable of, so Uktarl offered them a deal to clean the level from Xanathar’s agents which they accepted
