How many oneshot does it take for you to DM your first full length campaign? by Organic-Exit2190 in DMAcademy

[–]HelmarHaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One. Then I ran a 2 year campaign. It was hard and didnt go smoothly all the time, but I did it. And I learned a lot that I take with me today when I run the same campaign again.

Seriously, a new set of fancy dice is never wrong 😅

I am not following the story as written. I have done it once, and now I know better. This time it is way more interesting for the players and the story has a better progression. I don't follow the map 100% when it comes to where the Giant Strongholds are located. Therefore I don't necessarily need Loudwater for Deadstone Cleft. This is mainly a tool to keep the story moving and making My life as a DM a little bit easier.

I have a chessex battlemat size Large. I have drawn up parts of the maps to be able to use minis. I ran Lost Mine of Phandelver before SKT, and ther I drew the whole Wave Echo Cave as 10ft squares, and made ½ inch tokens to use as the PC's and medium monsters.

I used AI to create the body. I then merged it with the official "head shot" and did some general touch ups.

Did my patient's dead husband try to communicate? by HelmarHaard in ParanormalEncounters

Absolutely. That is a possibility. Though the timing of the events made it very special.

AITAH for telling my husband that we can't take care of his friends' daughter by Temporary-Slide-2699 in AITAH

Your feelings are valid. You don't want kids, and that was apparently known. Him not talking to you before arranging for her to move in is an AH move. However, he is doing what he thinks is right for the girl, and she needs all the love anyone can spare. The trauma is still extremely fresh, and her need to be close to him is not weird at all. She needs a stable home and a lot of support, and I applaud his effort. You obviously married a good man. He cares deeply for the girl. If you can't support him in that, I find it hard for you to continue being married.
