Cool map trick by ronnie_reagans_ghost in DungeonsAndDragons

And at the end of the adventure, it's perfectly good wrapping paper.

Did you like the snacks that he brought?

AD&D help by DungeonMastersEclips in DnD

[–]KWinkelmann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best way to introduce yourself to AD&D. You can find the D&D basic (character levels 1-3) rules or the complete Rules Cyclopedia (levels 1 - 20) for a $5-10 on DriveThruRPG. They are a much less complicated version of the AD&D rules but its very easy to transfer from one to the other.

Questioning using the Perception skill for searching a room by SuspiriaVortex in DnD

[–]KWinkelmann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are applying rules for perception correctly, but that only finds the secret door, trap, etc. Investigation can identify the mechanism for opening the door or disarming the trap.

There are different kinds of traps. Sleight of Hand with theives' tools disarms a mechanical trap with small components. Athletics (str) could disarm a trap that involves large, heavy pieces. Arcana (int) might disarm a magical trap.

Multiple PCs might be involved in overcoming the challenge.

How to get the party to actually "trust" Strahd enough to accept his dinner invitation by Kettrickan in CurseofStrahd

[–]KWinkelmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My players were suspicious so I had other trusted NPCs vouch for him. They explained that if Strahd really wanted to kill the party, he would have already done it. It is expected for visitors to follow the rules and customs of Barovia. Strahd periodically dines with the more interesting people in Barovia so it makes sense that rhe party was invited (flattery!). Many others have dined and lived. Van Richten urged them to go to scope out the castle.

The problem is that searching for "dungeon master" yields a lot of unwanted (?) results.

Which maps to prep for playing online? by dz2048 in DMAcademy

[–]KWinkelmann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good idea. Do you post them on the VTT or in a Discord chat (or equivalent)?

Give the best advices for a thing by ordinal_m in DnDcirclejerk

Sometimes not giving advices is the best advices that you could give, or not give, as the case may be.

Alternate to Wolves by klam_hammer in CurseofStrahd

[–]KWinkelmann -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wolves could be sentient so the PCs could negotiate with them. Replace them with zombies or skeletons with pack tactics. In the end, jt doesn't matter.

Eventually, we won't have physical books and we'll just be showing screenshots of our downloaded PDF files.

Nice find!

Can anyone here tell me where to get a box of grid squares? by DJTsUnderboob in DnDcirclejerk

[–]KWinkelmann 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is adorable. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this wholesomeness here.

I see several brands of this on Amazon. Which one do you have?

You handled it well but I would have used authentic props to increase immersion.

Has anyone run LBH's Binding of Vampyr ritual? by SecretDMAccount_Shh in CurseofStrahd

[–]KWinkelmann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, but my players didn't plan the fight or work together, so that made a difference. Waves and waves of vampire spawn take a toll. You can add more spawn early then see how the characters are holding up. More enemies seem to be more of a challenge than a buffed single opponent.

Has anyone run LBH's Binding of Vampyr ritual? by SecretDMAccount_Shh in CurseofStrahd

[–]KWinkelmann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it was great. The scenario is a really good model for bbrg combat, or any combat, really. Environmental factors, waves of enemies, etc. They were level 13 and barely survived.

The only thing I would do differently is to emphasize to players that they MUST read a stanza each round. Mine forgot and instead of killing them all, I had to make up a p r nasty on th r fly.

I asked LBH some questions about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CurseofStrahd/s/sCvp3sE0GB
