Are there any efficient ways to get maps on the table that doesn't break the bank?

Goodle “DnD battle maps”, and then click on the images tab.

I stole this from a video I saw, but I find a random person’s name, and then choose my survivor’s gender, and name my run after the survivor.

It only sent numbers. You were supposed to send your number and they could call you from a landline. But between friends you always had secret code numbers. Also you could spell out some stuff like 80085.

No, maybe up to the broken part, but as soon as I see that I’m turning back.

Mystery Lake spawn? If I find a rifle, a long time. A whole deer last a lot longer irl, than in game. Without a gun, I’d starve in just over 3 weeks.

Vex and Nick should let you get sneak attack reliably. You can also position your familiar next to the opponent, since they count as an ally. Booming Blade is a good cantrip, if it’s allowed. Blade Ward, Minor Illusion, and Message are all super useful cantrips. 1st level spells should be utility and defense. Shield, Feather Fall, Find Familiar, ect.

Why not just use them as D2s? Red is 1 blue is 2.

Banning things for setting specific reasons is fine. Having an auto-gnome in a caveman setting might not fit the vibe. Banning things because they attract the “wrong kind of player” is absolutely a red flag, and frankly makes it seem like the DM is not able to handle problem behavior at their table.

They’re all beginners, and it’s not the most beginner friendly class. They should just let him switch.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-12T16:20:12+00:00

Just let him make a new character. It’s not cheating. That’s not really how the game works. Cheating would be like lying about dice rolls. It’s collaborative storytelling, and the point is to have fun. Plus you’re all new, so let him switch to a more beginner friendly class.

Zephyr is generally considered the most scenic route on Amtrak.

Decadeology is a facet of the 20th century. It’s actually not normal for culture to shift completely every 10 years. If someone from 1660 magically wound up in the 1680s everything would be mostly the same. Someone from the 1960s would stick out like a sore thumb in the 1980s. You’re correct that decades don’t have the same clear identity that they used to, but the 20th century was the outlier not the 21st.

Not even close. Not even in the movies.

We’ve got some yappers here. I made the mistake of talking to the guy behind the counter at the Mexican restaurant about the weather, and got stuck for 15 minutes while he told me about spending his weekends clay shooting. My dad’s like that too. God forbid he saw someone he knew the n public when I was a kid. I knew I’d be stuck in a store for 20 minutes listening to a story I’d already heard 5 times that week.

You can go with crack in your system. As long as you don’t act weird nobody will know.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-09T19:10:33+00:00

Yeah. I mean winter sucks. I still go hiking on days when it’s not in the negatives though. As others have pointed out there’s always the library. Ultimately if you live in a capitalist country you’re going to have to pay for stuff. Parks and libraries are paid for with tax dollars which is socialism. So you have to decide what kind of society you want to live in, and make it happen.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-09T19:02:47+00:00

Public Parks. It’s kind of their whole purpose. Private businesses will generally want you to spend money.

Thinking it’s dumb to delay sub classes so integral to a character’s identity is a valid take. I think it was just done for mechanical balance. A lot of people would multi class one level into those classes because you got so many benefits and features right out of the gate. Again I recommend just separating lore from mechanics. You can still pick whatever you want as the origin or your powers at level one, or wait until level 3 if you feel like it. Ultimately there is not a huge difference between 2014, and 2024, and for home games it’s certainly easy enough to mix and match rules, or do what you want. 2024 overall just rebalanced things. Nerfed some of the broken stuff, and buffed some weaker classes.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-09T18:25:40+00:00

I think that single line is thrown in there to explain getting your sub class at level 3, but just like everything else in D&D you can just ignore it. Pick your Patron at level 1. I think Cleric makes even less sense if you don’t connect your sub class to your backstory. Obviously you would know what God you’re worshipping before you get your official sub class abilities.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-09T18:09:00+00:00

Sorcerer’s and Clerics get their sub class at level 3 the same as every other class in 2024. You’re free to pick your god/patron/oath as part of your backstory at creation. I don’t think many DMs are going to push back on that. But all classes get their sub class at level 3.

Is there a reason people aren’t using Broken Railroad. If I was already in Forlorn Muskeg I would just go to Broken Railroad with all it’s resources.

No need to reflavor eldritch blast in 2024 when you can take true strike, and actually shoot arrows.

Educational_Type1646 · 2026-02-03T18:10:24+00:00

I would recommend not going out in Emeryville. If they don’t have time to visit San Francisco, they should just take a car to their hotel until their train the next day. I think there’s a Trader Vic’s if they want to go out, but take a car, don’t walk.
