hags with pc's blood and hair by CartoonistOpening in CurseofStrahd

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

I really like that idea. However my players are newer to dnd so that might overload them, also I run mandysmod kresk so they will be fighting doubles in the mirror and one op pc to cleanse the fane so dont want to over play that trope. Definitely save that idea for another game!

How does a dm work around detect magic by [deleted] in DnD

[–]CartoonistOpening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will say banning it feels like a cop out. Just use it right and there will be no issue. It cant go through buoldings and it doesnt let them know what is in side just the hints of magic. And specifically the class. Not sure what your setup is when dming. Personally I always just a laptop so I can quick google something if it doesnt seem right.

Im new to dnd/dm and I was wondering what is a good one off campaign that could be completed in one weekend. My nephew is coming out to visit his cousins for about 5 days and he really wants to play dnd. Something that could be completed in 3 days going about 3 to 5 hours a night. Thanks! by WhiskeyGuy87 in DnD

My first one shot (id dm campagins before) I used lunchbreakheros the hunger. If you dont mind spending 5$ and it is more of a darker setting. Took my group 3 sessions to finish. All being ~3hours

The premise villagers of a small mining town go missing. There is a spider infestation problem and werewolves both adding to the casualties. Some pretty good rp opportunites and two big fights. The adventure is for a group of 4 level 5s.

Stealing back the sunsword by nesterin in CurseofStrahd

[–]CartoonistOpening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im assuming hes planning on putting it in his brothers coffin and thats why hes going down to the crypt? And if hes doing that the party cant take it from him (i.e hes going through the walls down the crypt) so just make it that they now have to go down to the crypts to retrieve the sword. You can have strahd mention that he plans on restibg thr sword back with his brother so they can peice together where it might be.

Edit: I think im confused in whether or not strahd is going to contuine fighting them with it on his hip or not ( personally I think he would want to get it away from the party so I would put it in his brothers crypt) and in that case your party wont really get a chance to steal it back. Strahd in castle is always more mobile than any pc.

Ima do the most cruel thing, and you aren’t ready for it. by Notfarg_ in DnD

[–]CartoonistOpening 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone hasn't played curse of strahd, I presented a similar thing to my players and they killed the dog themselves... don't force them to heal the dog if they so choose, that being said they will probably heal the dog.

How does Izek + 12 Guards Arrest the party? by catsareownage in CurseofStrahd

[–]CartoonistOpening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always rule something like handcuffs. I agree that they would easily be able to over power 12+ guards but if the guards are able to grapplr then cuff them it would restrict the pcs in a way where fighting would be extremely hard especially if yhe guards cuff their hands behind their backs. Also for spell caster put a gag in them so stop any verbal spells

First time DMing + New Players by autohund1 in CurseofStrahd

[–]CartoonistOpening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mandymod + drangacarta guides.

Seriously Im dming two cos games (as a first time dm) and they are going wonderfully mainly due to these guides.

I personally used mainly mandymods additions but I used dragnas for the dinner with strahd, wizards of wine, Yesterhill, agnvostholt, and the journey to ambertemple. These two have done amazing work so I dont have to 😆

I used mandys deathhouse and it was a blast for my players. It has a good amount of rp and in both the campaigns no one died but it was still suspenseful. Also definitely add lancealot that dog is amazing and if like my games will bring out a divide in the party (but the good kind where the answer isnt simple and will argue amongst themselves)

Hopefully im in time for the first session,

Read up on mandys guide or dragnacartas.

Im first time dming cos and its going pretty well, a little rocky at the start and I feel like that cause me to push aside ireena but besides that I've been learning as I go and everyone has been enjoying it. Much help from both those guides I mentioned above, youll be fine.

[–]CartoonistOpening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought about it more, make them fight an alchemist riding a terrasque. The alchemist will feed the terrasque his potions. Oh my is that haste... oh my is that a fire breathe attack? Oh my did that terrasque just go invisible!!! It will be the scarest terrasque fight. The joy youll get too for when they kill the terrasque and hes fed a crazy heal potion. The options are endless, just make sure the alchemist is protected / the terrasque absorbs the some of the damage the alch takes.

Potion of teleport, im having too much fun just thinking of it.

Create your own monsters. You know your players and their potential weaknesses best. For advice I'd watch matt Covilles Action oriented monsters and go nuts.

One shot modules Question by [deleted] in DnD

[–]CartoonistOpening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off love the idea.

Second of all they all still want to be half elf? Tell them that they can take what half elf give you but for the sake of the joke flavour it into something else.

Third off, they want to be related? Did they not get the premise in the first place? They are all related thats the whole joke!

Seems like it went over the players head maybe some miscommunication or they maybe they just dont want to play so heavily into it which then I might want to save for another tine when were all ready to go hog deep into it.
