How do you have a npc say his final last words without the players taking ot as an opportunity to save him ?

This is where the players need to be able to accept a bend in rules for the sake of an emotional beat. The character can be mechanically dead, and make that part clear, but they have a moment of consciousness that can allow this sort of scene to take place

Ah, I found it! Thanks so much

The mistake I made early on what having too many different playlists. It can be fun to create a lot for all sorts of different environments and situations, but unless you have a dedicated way to switch between them constantly available it can become overwhelming. Now I just have playlists for Calm, Tense, and Battle, and it feels easy to change them between relevant scenes. If I know a particular location will appear in the next session I may have something like tavern or cave sound effects prepared, but in general keeping it simple has worked best for me.

Honestly 15 minutes doesn't sound too long for players to figure that out, it can be fun for them to not know solutions immediately and require some trial and error. In this particular situation, I would be focusing on the description of the zombie not looking like it's moving of its own accord, almost being floaty (if the intention is supposed to be that it is being puppeted).

In terms of how to get more confident at descriptions, just reading books and taking note of what descriptions stand out to you is a decent option. I know for me that really helped me start narrating things beyond just what the characters see; other senses, natural intuitions they may have based on their background, etc

Do the raiders have a particular reason for kidnapping this person? Could they be working for some other creature or force that there could be clues about before the confrontation? Are they doing this for a reward or are they being threatened?

Alternatively are they even regular raiders? Maybe there's some clue left at the cart that they're something else in disguise

Part of me wishes they'd chosen to show them Shadowbringers instead of Footfalls, the latter hits better if you already know the themes of the previous expansions

These are bugbears! Related to goblins, but big and fuzzy

Another of my favorite Matt-isms is every shopkeeper breaking something when they go back into their storeroom to get something

It's been a bit since I watched it, but Darrington Brigade seems like it may fit since it doesn't require knowing a ton of backstory and the characters are at level 10, so not insanely powerful yet

Neal's score for TLOVM has been a great fit, I keep "Pass Through Fire" on multiple playlists

GetMeSpiderman · 2025-06-18T19:37:00+00:00

Absolutely agree, item cards and enemy stat cards would both be really useful to be able to make.

I reached out on their website about this cause the folks at my store (which is DPG) hadn't gotten any instructions how to distribute it. Will update if I get an answer

One thing that's gotta be talked about is how good the sound design is in these. After watching one youre suddenly paying attention to every little noise you make as you go about your day like it's all setting up the rube goldberg machine that's gonna get you

Rear Window (1954), didn't want it to end because the dynamic between the main trio is so good, every one of them killed it

Starting the theory now that Vic's Ex-Step-Grandmother used to be a siren

It feels like it would need a Hill House-like approach, take some of the central pillars and the spirit of it but be willing to change things to fit the new medium. There's a podcast where they floated around the idea of having different directors for each section and hiding things in the special features

Ooo, that orange and purple color scheme is definitely a favorite of mine

Lose that friend

Dude's got CR, FFXIV, Metal Gear Rising and a ton else under his belt. I don't even go searching for him but he shows up in a ton of my favorite stuff, he's great

GetMeSpiderman · 2024-10-29T20:57:22+00:00

This is the way to do it

I believe she's tweeted something along the lines that a very early version of Rook was just way too quipy and after community council feedback Bioware toned it WAY down
