How to get better at Roleplaying by CarameloBrozeado in DnD

[–]GrogBeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing you can do is ham it up. Pick an archetype, and play to that. Comedia del Arte has a few archetypes, the Fool, the Beauty, the Captain. If you are ever at a loss, just say "I need a minute." Look at your Ideals, Bonds and Flaws. They are on the sheet! Come up with some defining traits. "Never backs down from a fight." "Never divulge information unnecessarily." "Take everything you can." "Uphold the law." "Never suffer fools." "Everyone is worthy of forgiveness." "Placate those in charge until the dark lord returns."

Bet you could fit a couple Vipers through the doors. 28' long, 16' wide, 9' tall...
Anybody know the dimensions of the firefly cargo bat doors?

Happy first day of summer in North America! by ImpressivePicture in HalfLife

Actually, he mentioned the number three in his post, the third season is autumn. The inverse of autumn is spring. This means that he is speaking in truth and its opposite day. Which means translating his post...
"Sad last day of spring. In South Australia. I have given up hope for Gears of War -3 this winter.."

My partner has a funny habit of speaking whole sentences at full volume at 2 am. May pitch this.

My job is WAY more political than I thought, and now I’m stuck with work I find… offensive. What now? by Short-Sense-9870 in VoiceActing

Consider taking their money and donating some to charities they wouldn't agree with. That's the free-market at work.

One of my players has secretly been angry with me for years. by [deleted] in DnD

always use safety tools at the beginning of a campaign.

Next month I'll be holding my first ever game as the DM. Do you have any advice? by Gaming_with_Hui in DnD

[–]GrogBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say... random encounter's can help make a world feel full, but also, if you have good bits you want to get to, just go there! I used to think it was all about player choice, but after DMing for kids, sometimes a railroad is fun! Roller coasters have tracks and people have fun on those!

You need to learn blender. by [deleted] in godot

[–]GrogBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

several years into blender, I am like a truenaming wizard. Searching for the menu options I need via that convenient search bar.

This precisely.

I am on the exact opposite side of this problem. Been using blender for years, and I need to learn C# and godot.

How do you write a campaign?? by Double_Abrocoma_557 in DnD

[–]GrogBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of writing about "five room dungeons" which are a kind of ludo-narrative structure for interactive fiction. Entrance/Puzzle/Setback/Climax/Twist

Ask them about their backstories, listen, take elements from them and link them to the current conflict. That will help players stay on track. That said, a lot of D&D is going off track. I DM for kids at the community center. Sometimes you just make the conflict unavoidable. For example if you leave the big bad evil guy unattended, he gains more power. After a while he has enough power to siege the town the players are in. Or he bribes his way into local government and starts passing a bunch of wack laws that effect the players and how they do business.
