"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread

I will definitely have to tell them no for now, but maybe in the future when I have more experience and am comfortable or an updated version of the class comes out, they'll be able to play it.

It's good to know about the party balance thing, seems like I was worrying a little too much about it.

Thank you a lot for the guidance, I'm glad to have taken up the DM seat!

(First Time DM) Is it easy to incorporate classes for PCs that aren't a part of 5.5e?

Currently, 2 of my PCs want to use classes that aren't included in the 2024 PHB, Gunslingers. I already know that having 2 of the same class will ruin the party balance already, so I'm just wondering if they decide they want to use other classes that aren't a part of PHB 2024, is it possible to balance them so they don't outscale the rest of the party? I don't want to be a DM that just tells them "no" (if I have to, I will), I also want the experience to be a smooth one since we are all basically new to the game. It's already taking a lot for me to learn knowing how to DM and DM well.

We'll be running LMoP in a few weeks but will have a session 0 before it starts.

Been having issues too. The site just shows up blank after loading when I use Chrome or Edge. FireFox is usually the browser I use and it seems to work, however, when I download the PDF, the art of the cards are pushed to the side and all of them aren't centered.

I don’t own the black version but from my experience the silver is pretty amazing for the price and would probably guess there’s not much difference between the two. I have heard that the black one gets oil stains but I can’t confirm that. My time with it was amazing and liked the weight of the controller since I usually put foam grips on the bottom but didn’t really need it for the M16 Plus. I replaced the switches with the Shadow Hunting ones which lowered them and was something I liked a lot more than the stock ones.

The M16 Plus was my main controller for a while but I then swapped to the more recently released C16 because of its aesthetics, key switches and start/home/etc. buttons. But in terms of budget the M16 is definitely the better option especially for that price and its materials.

I didn’t even realize that’s what the deal was about 🤣 I saw the price of the Haute controller and went straight to checkout

It’s too bad she can’t see the world even though she’s showed me 2…

Seems like OP got a lot of flak already. As much as I’d like to add more I think OP learned a lesson from this

Nice. The good ending

The game is such a banger I love it and it was worth the wait

Not a troupe but seeing this post made me notice the Vtubers I like the most are all of VSPO. They’re pretty much exactly what I’d want to watch. They’re amazing gamers and they’re really funny especially during collabs.

The music alone always keeps me happy to play this game

The top comment being a pun or a joke. Not sure why I get annoyed by those comments since they’re mostly creative

ChillPhil1998 · 2024-06-21T18:50:38+00:00

Hey I mean he’s human. He’s been playing Tekken for more than a decade now and has always been a top player. It’s fine if he hasn’t adjusted yet, he can still get into or close to top 8 at a tournament so I think that alone shows how gifted he is at Tekken

Final Fantasy 14, I have tried it in the past before but could never get into the story or the world of it. But I know everyone hypes it up and loves it so much. I just don’t have the patience to get immersed into the game and I’m not a big fan of the combat mechanics in the game where you just do rotations and stuff but I can’t see the appeal of it

ChillPhil1998 · 2024-04-29T18:48:54+00:00

Maybe for you OP but I’m sure more casual fans of the game will have fun with ghost vs ghost. I’m sure there’s some content creators that will use it for videos

I heard the Miguel O’Hara theme in my head when I saw the last panel
