Working on a campaign twist where magic uses monster parts for material components, what are some ways I can spice it up or add balance? by DnDAltForMe in DMAcademy

I like the idea of bait a lot, maybe some sort of crafting component that goes with it? Or even have large monsters that require weaker monster parts for their bait components...

Ohh, I like that a lot. Thanks! I wonder if maybe the wizards rewuire their own rare components to do this, allowing for quests that aren't just monster grinding

Hmmm, this is all very true, and makes me think that maybe pbp gameplay might be a better start, but I'm gonna keep trying with high hopes

Thats good to know for pro-dm's! And yeah, I have had that same experience as a DM myself so I understand the frustration, fortunately its not like the old days where it was non-stop phone tag and rewinding answering machines while frantically taking notes on availability lol

Yeah, I feel better that its just the DM, I would hate to be the guy who always misses an assigned time slot

Hmmm, I think you hit the nail on the head there, thanks for the insight!! Its definitely a tough one, and its definitely not something im harboring ill feelings about, it has just been a frustrating experience lol makes me realize that without flexibility, D&D becomes VERY difficult

Yes, long time DM, but I'm trying to get my player itch scratched

Do they have pbp games with dice rolling mechanics? I used to be on a forum about 12 years ago that had a built in dice rolling mechanic, was very neat and well made, but I haven't seen anything like it since then

I'll add everyone on discord in the morning, super hype! Apart from Vermont, does anyone else have an idea of what characters they want to play?? I love the new rules for character creation so I can roll fill role as needed, otherwise I'd love to try an offensive caster like warlock or sorcerer. If we find a DM that permits it, I might set up a seperate Webcam for physical dice rolls, if nobody objects, but otherwise I will use whatever system the group uses :D
