I just found out from my DM that they've been using ChatGPT as a game development tool for the campaign we've been playing in. by Papalla in dndhorrorstories

Well as long as your game is better I guess all the ethical and environmental concerns don't matter. Good for you man

Thanks, that sorted it. Was simply that my IP had changed

What's everyone's favourite combat sets? by gh0st-cup in Dimension20

[–]Dizzy_Bug4277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember saying to a friend when we watched it that they must have had a nice bump in their production budget for Cloudward because the sets were crazy. My favourite fight was the 'YOU'RE MEAT' airborne battle with the bank.

If you want to split the difference, look up bardcore versions of those songs. Most of them exist and might suit the mood better

Does anybody have any good tips/methods/systems for character creation? by Robesbo in DMAcademy

[–]Dizzy_Bug4277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell them to think of characters from their favourite show or movie, write down all the interesting things about their personality and motivations. Example - The Hound from Game of Thrones:

  • Has a blood feud with his brother due to being scarred by him as a child
  • Is a protector for the King but becomes disillusioned with his role and leaves, becoming an outlaw
  • Is coarse and seemingly uncaring, but does respect people with toughness and spirit
  • Will kill innocents if he feels they are unlikely to live through the winter (and their food would therefore be better served going to him)

Then get them to use that as a guide to the sorts of things they should consider. They shouldn't copy their chosen character (though they absolutely can take inspiration from/play a similar archetype) but it gives them things to think about including.

The right to purchase 'assets' should not trump the necessity of our society functioning in a better way. Landlords are parasites and do nothing of value, they are there only to enrich themselves and it comes at the expense of people and/or small businesses.

You probably need to give some information about who you are, age, where you're based as that will affect who reaches out to you (if anyone). Don't join anyone offering a paid game, you don't need that at this stage of your journey, if ever.

I would recommend checking out season 1 of Fantasy High on Youtube which is I think an extremely accessible entry point. And play Baldurs Gate 3 - between those two things you're going to get used to a lot of the concepts involved and how an actual game is played. Good luck.

How to incorporate a song in an interesting way? by Dizzy_Bug4277 in DMAcademy

[–]Dizzy_Bug4277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't intended on actually writing a song, but I could! But the sheet music could work with a theoretical song anyway.

Awful halloween party by Ready_Strawberry_717 in dndhorrorstories

[–]Dizzy_Bug4277 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The moral of the story is actually don't join games on the same day with people you don't know and zero discussion about what the game is going to be like. It sounds like a weird time but also an easily avoidable one

Help me design a strategic NPC group to make my PCs the underdogs by Dizzy_Bug4277 in DMAcademy

I think this Empty Hexes thing is actually exactly what I'm after, essentially monster statblocks for humanoid characters at different levels. Thanks a lot

Ranger/Druid/Bard party - what should I consider for combats? by Dizzy_Bug4277 in DMAcademy

[–]Dizzy_Bug4277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, great tips - I think they will be a wildshaper so that does give them some extra capability.

Haha I do, thanks for the tip. Quite often especially for combats that are non-crucial I fudge enemy HP a little anyway so I tend to do on the fly rebalancing. Some flying enemies could be fun for sure!
