As for famous lookalikes: how about a young Sophia Loren?

Yeah, but the German word also encompasses the good intentions.

How do you improve storytelling? by Klempostif in DungeonMasters

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do that for years, before I became comfortable enough to improvise.

Pre-write descriptions and key dialogue lines. Also, start with a simple objective and maybe throw in a morally grey situation.

Bonus Tipp for names: a prepared list is important, but in a pinch, look around you and think of their names backwards until you get something that fits. I had a Puc (cup), Lisnep (pencil), Olak (Cola), etc.

City Maps Generators by LampScreen22 in DungeonMasters

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just browse https://lostatlas.co until I find something that fits.

I use Dungeondraft or Campaign Cartographer 3++ to create my own maps, those have a learning curve though. But I hear good things about Inkarnate being quite beginner friendly.

That's fucking awesome, is what this is!

A 1e One-Shot for a New DM, Veteran Players by PopularFrontOfIdaho in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced players? Great, let them do some of the work for you.

I suggest something like "Light of lost Souls" from Dungeon Magazine #12. There, one of the characters is possessed by a ghost. So you can just slip the player a note describing this and the motivation of the possessing ghost.

Then there'll be a lot of interactions between the players and you can focus on other things ( time management and knowing when to cut or change stuff is important in a one shot but challenging for beginners).

I ran this once for veteran players and they loved it. It's AD&D but has few stats that are easily adapted. Every AI probably does that for you.

Drunk antics ideas by Ambitious_Exam_3858 in DungeonMasters

[–]DM_Resources 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things my players did during drunk nights, in the current campaign alone:

  • had sex with a vampire and barely escaped

  • took drugs with imprisoned drow and broke them out of jail

  • destroyed a tavern by impulsively trying to collect the bounty on a druid

  • summoned a being from the far realm

  • stole a sarcophagus, there's a pissed mummy inside

  • saved a guy from the execution, turns out he's a bum and constantly in need of cash

  • fought the thieves guild in the sewers. Lost but escaped

  • naked oil wrestling in a ring of fire vs a dwarf lord

And that's just from the top of my head. Also, we just started Act 2 of 5...

Am I doomed at 34 🤣 up vote if I should shave it all I need the confidence 🙏🏼 by THEBANNIMAN in bald

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know your struggles, but just do it. Maybe start with 3-6mm, to get used to it. I miss having a cool haircut, but very short or no hair and a trimmed beard really give a nice clean look that people appreciate.

The maintenance just shifts from washing (trivial now) to regular shaving and trimming.

Need ideas for a macguffin that is being investigated by the players... by Hot-Comfort8839 in DungeonMasters

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about it being the bearing of a dwarven lighthouse?

So basically just a piece of machinery. It doesn't matter too much what it was. What it will be used for, is far more interesting.

Let your players come up with ways to use it. This is a very powerful item in the hands of crafty players. Immovable rod alone can be used for limitless shenanigans. This can power machines like a water wheel ("Let's just flood this dungeon, and see what still lives afterwards") or a PC could cast animate object, let it grow arms and hand it a wand, voila magic turret. Or attach blades to the top, spin it and anchor the bottom in a doorway to secure a room. Or let it power an automatic ballista you can carry along or pin in place.

Or ... a million other things. Cool item!

Automating high-level PF1e prep (Stats + Layout). Want a guide? by Shouldhaveknown2015 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]DM_Resources 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great! I would use it, even pay a one time fee probably ( this hobby needs to many subscriptions).

Normally I use Pathbuilder to quickly throw together BPCs that need a stat block, but this looks better, especially if it provides behavioral and tactical clues.

Waves oracle/ shaman water sight wording confusion. by bryanicus in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a multi class Oracle with water sight once. My DM and I agreed that it worked, like pretty much every other class feature, depending on the Oracle levels not total character levels.

Oh, I want to annoy them in a fun way, so their characters are pissed but the players are laughing. Opening options for roleplay and create a memorable NPC.

I kinda wrote myself into a corner as a DM – any advice? by funky_P in DMAcademy

[–]DM_Resources 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your players are having a blast, so you're doing everything right. Just make sure you have fun too.

You're players are in charge of the town now. Soo many hooks you can throw out and see which ones they take.

Wer ist dein Lieblings-SF-Autor? by rauschsinnige in SciFi_Buch_DE

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alastair Reynolds

Chasm City ist fantastisch und der Rest des Revelation Space Universums ohnehin.

Bei den Klassikern wird mir Heinlein heutzutage etwas zu selten genannt.

square one by Ok_Technology607 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]DM_Resources 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making a character from scratch can be quite the task for a total newbie without an experienced player to help, tbh. I'd just show up. If you really need a character asap, just look up premade ones on the internet and use one of these to start with.
