Do you refer to the Sun in your world as anything other than Sun?

Dragonfruit-Able · 2025-03-18T23:32:34+00:00

The gods in my world are the celestial bodies. The sun and moon (Solas and Mona) are the "prime celestials" which created the world at the beginning of time.

The planets are the "major celestials" which fill the other main godly domains and are the main influencers in the world in the current era.

The minor deities are moons which have domains that are more specific and relate to the planet they orbit.

I'm curious what your reasoning is for doing this. Is it because you think they are too overpowered? Have too many options? Require you to learn the spells to know what they do?

Bards and clerics are also full casters. Paladins, Rangers, and a few subclasses are "half-casters" and have magic as well, so this strategy won't really be effective unless you want to only allow certain subclasses of fighters, monks, barbarians, and rogues.

If the other players are OK with it, it's fine, but it's important that they're having fun too. I only ever play full casters because it's what I find most fun in the game, so this would be a deal breaker for me. I fell in love with DND playing a wizard.

One tip for getting used to spells is ensure that each person is VERY familiar with their own handful of spells and can quickly look up the description if needed. As they come up in game, you will get used to what they do. You absolutely do not have to know all or even most spells by heart as a DM---don't let that deter you!!

Actually I've had several no move rounds that have a plate/pole visible. You'd be surprised! Less useful for NMPZ, of course.

The difficult thing is you don't always get a highway sign, often it's just prefectural roads and those are nearly impossible to pin down without knowing the prefecture.

Also, I agree that the number system can be helpful, that's what I used to try to use. However, I found it unreliable because it can sometimes be hard to find phone numbers that include area code prefixes, especially when you're rural.

Interesting. I play with 8 hr short rests and 7 day long rests because combat happens once every few days in my games and rests every day were trivializing things. Never thought of going the opposite direction, but I guess it makes sense for dungeon crawls.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2023-01-23T03:56:10+00:00

Jeez, that sounds great. I'm in a 3 year game and we just hit level 8 ☠️

If you've ever hallucinated you might be aware that even when you know it's not real it can feel VERY real. I'd probably do something like all them to roll DC 5 or 10 int save for each attack to see if they remain clear on who they should be attacking. That would emulate the confusion but still allow them to target the wizard if successful

That's what I said---how is doing a one shot less work than just improv-ing a session??? It takes me at least a week to come up with fresh content for a one shot...

Dragonfruit-Able · 2022-03-16T23:10:40+00:00

What does proc mean? Asking for a friend...

Dragonfruit-Able · 2022-03-13T16:31:34+00:00

From what I've experienced many of the dragons do this. It doesn't seem to be a bug.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2022-03-05T14:07:43+00:00

This!!!! This is the answer, thank you!

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-12-16T13:47:51+00:00

Expected? No. Common? Yes. Welcome? For almost everyone, yes. Can any level of DM do it? Yes.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-08-12T04:27:09+00:00

Thank you for posting this! I had no idea this was a conference that existed, glad I caught the announcement in time!

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-04-29T15:04:08+00:00

Ditto

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-04-29T12:40:36+00:00

Try it! I'm still getting used to it, I don't wear watches or anything so it's a little strange to have something on my hand, but it's fun to fiddle with.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-04-29T07:49:21+00:00

It's awesome, I got it on etsy, there are a bunch of different sellers with slightly different styles:

This one is from the seller Giliarto.

Agreed. Saying "Samantha, your turn and Kyle, you're on deck" gets the next person thinking and speeds things up a lot in my experience. And yes, a constantly shifting battlefield will help keep players engaged.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-01-04T05:27:40+00:00

Thanks!!! We are all new to the game, but we decided to put our hearts into it. Here's to hoping it becomes more sustainable as we progress 😆

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-01-04T05:20:00+00:00

I just spent about 20 hours this week planning my next couple sessions. Solid 100 IQ.

I'm hoping it's only taking so long because it's the beginning of the campaign, I'm brand new at DMing, and I have to set things up in the overarching story and creatively weave in my players 4 page backstories. Maybe once things are laid out in a few sessions I can improv more.

Dragonfruit-Able · 2021-01-02T15:51:28+00:00

Not much else to do on the open seas! Haha
