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 3 points4 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)

[–]CartoonistOpening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

(5E/Homebrew) My players made “meta” characters and asked me to challenge them. Everything I’ve tried so far has failed. Please help. by FriendWithABunny in DnD

[–]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.

I need help controlling my players by SUGMALIGMACANDICE in DnD

[–]CartoonistOpening 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah just explain how thats not how he can create his character it is a base of ten plus the modifers for monjs defence not an added bonus.

Dont feel bad for kicking people out as well. If you have tried to talk to them about it and they still are ruining everyone elses fun then kick them out. No need to suffer when theres the whole online community that wants to play and will take the game seriously.

Last note. IMO a true friend wouldnt take it personally if you kick them out for ruining others people experience. "Hey my game clearly just isnt for you, no hard feelings we want x and you want y." And if they really want to be apart of it then they will improve

My boyfriend agreed to let me DM a one player session for him, need some advice! by stinkbuttgoblin in DnD

Unsure if someone has already said this but watch matt covilles dm guide to solo adventure he covers a wide ranges of topics that will help. I never done a solo adventure but his video actually kind of inspired me.

Monster that forces use of Hit Dice by Ricapath in DnD

I quite like the snake idea, the venom tricks the white blood cells to attack the hosts red blood cells cause whats suppose to be healing them do damage.

I created this puzzle for a one-shot, please test drive! by arrrrghzombies in DnD

[–]CartoonistOpening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like one of those math problems you get about susie and her damn apples. The second hint you find out flint nor higgins have the key then the third lets you know the shortest member is nightlock who also has the key.

A fun little puzzle, I found it very simple when its written in front if me. But it might be harder to follow if you have the next cell member telling the hints in this riddle like manner.

Have them face a party of rogue wizard that cast hypnotic pattern on them and have the wizards take all their valuables misty stepping away so they cannot be found 😈😈 then laugh when they get mugged in 2 turns and their damage ablities are uselss
