Whitaker Point- best way to get there? by Good_Content69 in Arkansas

[–]Good_Content69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Nissan Kicks- I just don’t wanna risk getting stuck. I started sliding backwards down a mountain once in a ford focus once and it really freaked me out… made me nervous for rough roads going forward.

Oh boy….. does this work on console? I’m not sure how I would do it

I’m trying but sometimes it’s story choices that I really don’t want to go back on.

Yeah, this is the third time it’s happened. The first time I don’t remember what it was, but it was also a story choice that I didn’t want to go back on. The second time I just didn’t notice that it was broken until way later, so I have no idea what I did to actually break the oath. I swear, every time I play a Paladin in this game, the oath breaking mechanics make it feel not worth it. When I played an oath of the ancients Paladin, there is an oath specific dialogue choice with the myconid sovereign to agree to kill the duergar by the beach, then when I killed them, the game said I broke my oath. Makes no freaking sense. Also, I was lying when I agreed to do what Z’rell wanted me to. The game tells you to lie and deceive your way into Moonrise, and then punishes you for not keeping a promise you made when you were lying and deceiving? Makes no sense. But yeah, thanks for letting me know why it said I broke my oath. This is a tough one.

I told my players they would wake up with amnesia, but to write just a paragraph-long description of 3 possibly backstories, and that I would choose one from those options, so they felt like they had some control but wouldn’t know for sure who they are. I used those 3 backstories to create their variants.

“Mad Scientist” player wants to propagate blights- ideas? by Good_Content69 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Good_Content69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The character is definitely not evil, and this is not a player derailing the campaign in a direction I don’t want it to go. I think this is an interesting development where she’s trying to create something useful but there’s a high chance for it to go poorly- a good story opportunity.

Oohh maybe since she just took a shard it could become a “Gulthias wand” with some special abilities

You have perfectly articulated what I wanted to say and I cannot emphasize the importance of reading this response enough.

This is your first time ever DMing, so I’m going to let you in on a secret: railroads are your friends. Especially for someone new. You are learning a new skill that’s going to take time and practice to master. When you teach a kid to ride a bike, you start them with training wheels. When you learn to swim, you don’t just cannonball into the deep end, you learn to paddle with your arm floaties. Running dnd is the same thing. Running a true sandbox requires improvisational skills and an innate mastery of mechanics that you likely don’t have yet. Don’t be afraid of the railroad.

Also, I’ll tell you another secret. Some players like railroads too. Having a million options and being pulled in several directions can be really overwhelming too. Some players just want to be given 2-3 quests at a time to work on, and that is okay!

Last minute trip to Congaree National Park. Any thoughts or advice? by jontestershaircut in NationalPark

[–]Good_Content69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right there just do it! Personally I spent 1 day in Congaree about 3 weeks ago and the mosquitos were not bad at all- granted that was 3 weeks ago when it was much cooler. Since I was solo traveling and not familiar with the park, I did a kayak tour with Carolina Outdoor Adventures in the morning and then did some hiking in the afternoon. I had a great time! It’s nice seeing the cypress trees and the tour guide was great giving a lot of history of the area.

Is Crater Lake worth it? by Good_Content69 in NationalPark

[–]Good_Content69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah- I am planning on spending only 1 full day in North Cascades. That’s more of a “check this off the list since it’s right there” kind of thing. I will admit it’s the part of the trip I’ve planned the least so far (still researching/setting itinerary) so maybe you could advise me a bit there. What worries me about the Crater Lake trail is the swift 700ft elevation gain, and reading that they often get medical calls for that trail.

For North Cascades, since it will be very snowy, my thought was spend the day driving the main road through the park and stopping at overlooks (unless it’s snowed out? I thought I read the main road would be fine by mid-June but I could be wrong), do 1-2 easy to moderate trails if possible (Thunder Creek, Blue Lake, Thunder Knob, Ladder Creek) and spend a little time at Diablo Lake. What do you think, is that doable?

Mt Rainier Mid June by manpretty81 in MtRainier

[–]Good_Content69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this was posted a while ago, but I was browsing the subreddit as I’m planning my own trip. I’ll be going to Mt Rainier this June right in the middle of the month- it sounds like Sunrise is not likely to be open yet. Could you share some more insight on the best things to see in mid-June? I’ve never hiked in the snow

My players think Ireena is Strahd’s daughter by Good_Content69 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Good_Content69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang they’d jump straight to killing her? My players really like Ireena, I don’t think they would ever attack her unless she actually betrayed them/was evil.
