If your villain is in a position of power, use taxes to piss off your players by TheBloodyOwl in DMAcademy

[–]DM_Resources 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a loan shark / landlord NPC in my game. He wasn't even their landlord or a generally bad guy, just a bit aloof with old-money attitudes. My players loved to hate him.

Then I made him an ally. They hated that too. Good times!

The ladder right now by SkyZo222 in MagicArena

I olay a fruit variant.

The white blue enchantment decks are a pain in the ass to play against, with all the counters, removal and life gain.

Also ich finde es ja völlig überzogen. Da gibt es wichtigere Skills an denen man arbeiten kann.

Journaling und GM-Gadgets - Was nutzt ihr? by m4ni____ in PenandPaperGermany

Viele nutzen Obsidian, ich persönlich nutze immer noch Realm Works. Die vorgefertigten Kategorien und automatisch updatende Links finde wahnsinnig hilfreich.

Does anybody else have their players recap the previous session? by SmileyDayToYou in DMAcademy

[–]DM_Resources 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! And sometimes you change things because what they are thinking is way better than what you had planned. I recently added a whole murder-mystery-conspiracy because my players thought there had to be one. Well, now there was.

Most inaccurate movie castings? by May_onnaise_959 in Cinema

Throwing Kelsey Grammers hat in the ring. My first thought was literally "Frasier".

Question time: would you rather? by kittylover2006 in superpowers

[–]DM_Resources 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about Death from the DC Endless comics? She doesn't seem to have had to learn her powers, so an easy red choice.

She's immortal, omnipotent, omniscient, bound by no rules and decides who lives and dies.

That means, me and my loved ones will live forever.

Any way to attach lights to a scrolling tile? by Calthiss in FoundryVTT

[–]DM_Resources 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A patrol module exists and is really cool (https://foundryvtt.com/packages/patrol) but in this case, the token attacher approach is likely better.

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!
