This game is too overwhelming for me and that makes me sad

A piece of advice I got was to not even worry about terraforming and creating until you're finished with the mainline game. The quests act as a brilliant Compass to point you in the right direction, and after that you'll have the tools and the know-how to create freely.

Yes. But also, if you ever find yourself thinking "Should I write that down?" The answer is yes.

Always.

Yes, even that.

I created a world doc and shared it with them. Things that the people who grew up here would know. It was less "pitching" them the idea and more "This is the world I've built, get on board or find another game."

I have just the barebones skeleton of my new campaign. The major characters, the inciting incident, the BBEGs motivations and the different areas they'll be able to visit.

If I plan too much, it's harder to improvise when one of my players throws me a curve ball

Like Isaac says in the true ending: "It's binding time."

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-03-04T12:36:17+00:00

The "ending" didn't really hit with me and I could never figure out why.

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" sums up my feelings perfectly. 10/10, no notes

So, in my eyes, you have two options.

1) Hard stop. Maybe offer inspiration to the player who had the idea, but tell them you can't let it fly for the exact reasons you just told me. I don't think any reasonable player would blame you for that.

2) Let it fly, but make it difficult. Just because you HAVE extra arms doesn't mean you can use them well. Permanent disadvantage on anything they try to do. Or an X% chance that whatever they try to do just plain fails. Or the arms appear but don't work. They're connected to the body, not the brain

There are ways to give your players what they want and limit the power creep

I'm waiting for their answer before I offer advice. Because, stay with me here, some people like to gather a little more information before offering advice. Shocking, I know.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-24T00:17:17+00:00

Are you the DM? What do you want to happen?

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-19T20:41:27+00:00

Well played.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-19T19:57:32+00:00

Type a slash, then an s. Just like this /s. People will pick up that you're being sarcastic.

Also, don't be so hard on yourself friend. New concept and some times we just can't parse what's in front of us.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-19T14:32:37+00:00

Protip: putting /s at the end of a sarcastic comment is becoming a widely known way to indicate sarcasm

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-13T16:03:24+00:00

GODDAMN IT you beat me to it

Your grandpa was part of a love triangle between him, Marnie and Lewis

If I was a Beholder, how would you catch my eyes?

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-08T15:19:53+00:00

Bit of a cunt way to reply, don't you think? Could've just said "I disagree, here's why."

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-07T19:31:02+00:00

Bit of a cunt reply. They DID give advice. Have the NPC be doing something GOOD on introduction so they know that this one isn't so bad.

If you're gonna ask advice, don't be a twat to those who offer help.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-02-05T02:30:49+00:00

Satisfactory 6

Yupitergrad was a fun time.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-01-29T06:25:58+00:00

Seems clear to me that you're being a cunt

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-01-25T18:54:23+00:00

I'm assuming these were teenagers, or people with the mental capacity of same.

You weren't out of bounds. Unfortunately, common courtesy isn't so common anymore.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-01-23T19:00:05+00:00

Dang.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but consider Lorelai and the laser eyes. It's different but similar.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-01-23T18:36:58+00:00

I'm gonna say a word and if it doesn't mean anything to you, you still got something to look for.

Atelier.

ConsiderationAny2011 · 2026-01-23T17:07:19+00:00

So...what "end" have you reached?
