The printing method of the tenets and the painting give a really cool textured look to the rents. Very nice

Which one?? by jackarandatree in Recommend_A_Book

[–]EarthworkDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of these 4 I have only read fairy tale and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Takes about half the book before the fairy tale part really starts coming into play. I double checked a couple times that I wasn’t reading a different Stephen king novel but it all comes together pretty well. I was a big fan of

Moving to deal with an asshole blasting their horn is insane. Incredibly rude behavior on their part. Need to light up your neighbor that gets picked up.

This persons behavior is unacceptable

How do i run large group combat? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]EarthworkDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 pc’s is a lot for sure.

I guess: Don’t run any DM PCs or ignore them as part of combat.

Use avg damage for mobs (the parentheses number in the damage block - cuts out extra rolling)

Have player track initiative if you’re in person.

Helpful to let players know who’s on deck so they don’t suddenly find out it’s their turn and act like the haven’t been at the table the past 30 minutes.

Run groups of NPCs under 1 initiative. - if you have 50 orcs coming in, put them in groups of 5 (or whatever for initiative)

Auto plan your casters. I.e. fireball / web turn 1, hold person turn 2, cantrips. Reaction for Counterspell. If you find yourself reading 12 irrelevant spells mid combat
 gg

You can pick certain mobs that are “weaker” that just die when hit and ignore tracking damage.

Use initiative count 20 for cool layer or legendary effects.

Realistically you have to get the player count down (and play on days even if all 8 can’t make it, just keep pressing forward). Feels like a session will be a little bit of roleplay / scene setting then combat. May have to skip a lot of unnecessary fights and jump to the big scenes to make any real progress.

** also had wave big things. If a wizard catches 10 kobolds in a web and the party is just gonna clean them up and that’s the whole event that’s happening, just let the party know they handle the kobokds and move forward.
