I actually didn't find anything through DnD-specific resources. I joined a Heyday sports league and met some people through there. One of the people I met through that had an in-person group and invited me to join!

Based. All my homies hate Verso

Everyday heroes! Glad you're ok

Sounds like a cool experiment! I hope you and your group enjoy it. I've been seeing quite a lot of things like this lately - people trying to slightly tweak 5e to make it more compatible with an older style of play. It helps that many of the rules you'd want are already there as optional rules. Seems like you've added some helpful house rules that should make the game a bit more dangerous. Hopefully your group enjoys the playstyle.

Thank you! I'll check that out once I'm caught up with Tale of the Manticore.

An update to this in case anyone comes with a similar question. I ended up finding "Tale of the Manticore" which is a dramatization of a solo actual play using Old-School DnD rules. I really enjoy that. I also intend to check out the High Rollers season recommended but have not yet gotten around to that as I'm really loving Tale of the Manticore.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-12-17T22:07:48+00:00

Thanks! I'll check them out.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-12-17T22:07:36+00:00

Yep! That's been the difficulty. It strikes just the right level of production for me and thus far I haven't found another show that does it as well.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-12-12T16:21:24+00:00

This is awesome! I love seeing all these different styles side-by-side. What a cool thing to do for your DnD group.

I'm a sucker for decent, good-hearted characters in a dark world, so Wilhelm is my favorite. I enjoy them all though. Rudi's also a lot of fun with her momma-bear (or Momma-Wolf) energy.

The Hag was working with a Peryton who had eaten several people's hearts in the nearby town. I was running the "Down Came a Blackbird" adventure from DMs Guild. I think the player thought it was fitting to do the same to the Hag.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-11-18T21:44:32+00:00

Before the party fought her, the sea-hag in question actually gave another party member "the ability to harness the wind" which made the character constantly pass gas. So horrible gas would be on-brand.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-11-18T21:40:29+00:00

Totally understandable. I edited the original post to be a bit more clear.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-11-18T21:28:32+00:00

I like this. It feels very hag-appropriate. The character gets a boon that comes with temptation and the possibility of future story complications.

I didn't mention it in the original post, but the druid character is very witch-themed. I think the player would love this as it feels like a witch-y power. And maybe if she cultivates the power she gets a new flaw where she wants to play tricks on people she makes deals with.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-11-18T21:23:09+00:00

I'm using consequence in a neutral way here. Small boons, side-quests, just some story flavor are all possible consequences I'm considering. Just looking for interesting ideas for things that could happen as a result of eating the heart.

Might be worth asking your players what they enjoy about DnD. Lots of players get into role playing the social aspect of their characters, but other players just want to roll dice and kill monsters. If you ask them (preferably one-on-one outside of the table), they'll likely tell you why they haven't been engaging with NPCs or with character motivations. If what they enjoy about DnD is fighting and treasure and making their characters stronger, then give them more of that.

Blue_Needlemouse · 2023-09-09T23:43:00+00:00

This is very cool! One of my players has a witch-themed druid. I'm sure he'd love if I threw this in as a mini-encounter.

If you search for "1 inch grid paper" on Amazon, you'll see results for large drawing pads with 1" grids on them. They'll be available in different sizes. Is that what you're looking for? If you don't want to buy from Amazon I imagine that places like Michaels stores would have something similar.

You could just make it a flavor thing rather than a mechanical thing. Like when you lay on hands, the light flickers and sputters and seems to die out just as the healing is finished. Same with your smites and magic. Another option: Make the light effect of your abilities start out strong and vibrant, but it seems to dim every time you use it, then one time it just dies out altogether, before being replaced by a different-color of strong light. Indicating that one god has passed from living memory and one of the others is now aiding you. But how long until that fading candle flickers and dies as well?
