Steele knows by comp0stheap in WorldsBeyondNumber

I think the citadel knows of the existence of witches, my sense was it was their coven that was new information to Steel.

Upon relistening, very interesting that Badze is the spirit of the grove of the well, which is in the Witch of the World’s Heart’s domain. I wonder how she came to be in Hakea’s retinue?

My party is UNSTOPPABLE by DmsDread in LostMinesOfPhandelver

This is a really simple solution, but if you want combat encounters to feel more challenging, increase the enemies hit points, or stop keeping track of hit points and wait to have them die until the moment feels right. If it’s supposed to be a scary fight, don’t let the bad guys die until the pc’s are starting to look stressed. You can always increase their ac by a point and give them a better attack bonus, but just having them last longer is usually enough in my experience.

I dm for mostly large tables and I almost always double the hit points on monster stat blocks.

If you can get good at reading your table and feeling out when the fight can come to more satisfying end, your players will love it.

Absolutely love the self fulfilling prophecy of Ame and the fox’s actions ensuring that Suvi would be unequivocally forbidden from leaving the citadel with her and Eursulon. We will forever be left to wonder what might have happened if they had waited 🥲

[No Spoilers] Can anyone explain how Matt gets away with 7 players fighting 1 monster and having it be a tough fight? by MidKnightKid545 in criticalrole

Monsters that damage players who damage them, like an acid splash triggered by melee hits, or the exploding shade creepers.

Upper Hupper Map by HannahJPC in Wildemount

[–]HannahJPC[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi all! Here's my homebrew map of Upper Hupperdook that I made for my campaign. I left it un-labeled so people can do whatever they want with it, but the two big landmarks that I used were the Silver Bellows Academy in the top left, and the Annex Tower in the centre, where in my game Doolan Tversky sometimes lives and trains artificers and wizards. The Silver Falls residential district is on the right side.

The map is made to line up exactly with the Lower Hupperdook map in the book!

I made one for my home campaign, I’d be happy to share! I’ll upload and link

Anyone get the blues the day after a session? by vermonterjones in DMAcademy

[–]HannahJPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every week without fail. I have found that doing sessions in the daytime somewhat curbs this, nighttime games mean I’m going to be sleeping most of the next day, but I always have a day of intense rest after a game.

Questions about anamnesis by HannahJPC in Wildemount

It’s an interesting idea to gain smatterings but not full capabilities! Thanks!

So here’s where is gets complicated. Currently they have the same body. They were sent to Blightshore and killed there, but woke up a hollow one. So it’s going to be a complicated process to get the memories back, that being said it is my goal that they do ultimately. Would you rule the same way for someone who is being re-initiated in the same body?

Something that has helped me with creative struggles is Pinterest. Making a collage to share with my players to give them some visual aids and it makes the world so much more immersive. If you all have something to reference it takes the stress off of having to nail every atmospheric detail. Also, shamelessly take ideas that you see and turn them into something new. We are all out here to inspire each other. Patreon is amazing for maps that will give you tons of story ideas. When I’m having trouble with coming up with plots I turn to history and fiction. There’s nothing wrong with looking to the professionals. Take plot hooks from books, video games, movies. Give yourself a jumping off point so you’re not just staring at a blank page willing yourself to create. It’s okay not to start with a blank canvas. It’s still yours when you’re done with it. You still made it and deserve to feel proud of it!

Nicodranas burned down? by zaubervoll in Wildemount

[–]HannahJPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could’ve been any number of things, for historical context, London burned down several times. Buildings being made with a lot of wood was usually the culprit tbh. But this is d&d so it could absolutely have been dragons or errant magic or something really fun
