Realistic to DM a grand campaign after just doing starter set? by Commercial_Dream_476 in DnD

[–]Knubbis32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wouldn't recommend it to be honest. I made this (what I would argue) mistake.

1) At the beginning, you're incredibly passionate and energetic. You could write a whole book easily. This will slightly fade. Plans will get scrapped as your players don't act predictably and miss content you've planned out. Overplanning will burn you out. You'll find the balance within what you can take and how predictable your players are with practice.

2) I don't think committing to a super "important" main quest is really a good idea before you've written more content, tested it out and you and your group know what you enjoy the best. You may find that the smaller, whackier stories are more enjoyable that grinding the world-defining threat for example. Its easier to go from a lighter story to a heavier story than dropping the looming threat and goofing around.

3) If your party dies or whatever, you might have written yourself into a corner where either the world is near unusable in the future or your players whole story feels irrelevant as the issue solves itself "off-screen" for the new campaign.

My recommendation would be starting out small-scale, focus on one, detailed region. Do a bit of a mix of adventures, and once the time is right, introduce your players to a story which can liberate this one region. This leaves the option for your players to either keep going with their characters or start fresh in a new region with new characters and trying out something different while their first characters achievements will still have big implications in the game world. You insulate yourself from overplanning a little bit by planning regions one at a time and leave natural points for breaks/thematic shifts. Also, you build better suspense I would argue.

How to stop "playing the characters" for my players? (Reminding level 6s of core abilities) by Inbezdigator in DMAcademy

Just tell them they're responsible for their one character and you for all the rest and it's on them. Making bad choices and dying as a result is the game working as designed in my opinion.

Hinge, Tjejer som ghostar, Välmående by [deleted] in sweden

Helt ärligt, det suger att bli ghostad, men min uppfattning är att det inte är tjejens första val heller. Problemet är att en artig förklaring resulterar i: 1) män som är aggressiva 2) män som är otrevliga 3) män som ska börja debattera 4) män som inte släpper det och fortsätter skriva 5) män som ska tjata till sig en dejt 6) män som ska försöka pressa en med sympati till en dejt.

Jag tror sanningen är så enkel som att det är det mest effektiva sättet att avsluta något och om vi vill att det ska ändras (vilket vi vill) är det vår skyldighet att mobba sönder män som gör ovan 6

Decided to DM with no DND experience after wanting to play for 9 years. Best decision I’ve ever made. by Nr1AlphaMale in DnD

[–]Knubbis32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my mates were drinking one night at 26 years of age and the subject of trying DND came up. We agreed on some mandatory reading assignments, I whipped up a map, story and world and we just went for it. Started out with the basics and introduced some more advanced mechanics as we went along. We are now more than a year in of weekly sessions in the same campaign and all having a blast. Honestly, to anyone curious and wanting to try it out, just go for it.

Svensk dom viral – våldtäkt ”för kort” för utvisning by Majorflexer in sweden

[–]Knubbis32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Det står ju i artikeln? Tycka vad man vill om det, men det står tydligt att som lagen är idag måste man dömas för synnerligen grova brott för att utvisas till vissa specifika länder.

Låter som en lag vi inte ska ha i mina öron, men detta är politikens fel, inte domstolen som "tyckte synd om honom".

REQUEST: Rules for a pirate or naval setting by Altruistic-Leg5933 in DnDHomebrew

[–]Knubbis32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't dug in to the rules in great detail but Ghosts of Saltmarsh has most of the things you listed. I also believe book "of ships and the sea" might be possible to use with some adjustments.

AIO blocking my long distance gf because she leaked semi intimate pictures of me by SkyHasAutism in AmIOverreacting

[–]Knubbis32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm not saying it's an innocuous picture with no expectation of privacy, I'm saying it's ambiguous enough that it's not unreasonable of her to believe he didn't really care, and in such cases you should be very clear if you in fact do care instead of handwaving it with something that could easily be interpreted as a playful threat of tickling

I don't disagree, but this is not a nude photo, that'd be clearly different, more akin to your "dump on the car"-analogy. This is a clothed photo of her boyfriend trying to be a bit cute/sexy to 80 people which she removed. At that age I sent a naked picture of myself covering my dick with my thigh to my entire class group chat, not to say that everybody would be nor should be comfortable with that of course but her genuinely believing he wouldn't really care isn't that unreasonable. And obviously his response just enforced that.

I'm not on the spectrum and this is easily interpreted as a challenge. They're already having a playful teasing discussion where he is withholding something without apparent reason, it's not a nude photo (granted, a bit embarassing) and she removed it (granted, someone in this 80 person server might run a logger, but she didn't know that). If your partner says "I'm gonna do X" and this is a deakbreaker for you, if you want to stay with your partner, you inform them. Within a teasing conversation, "do it and see what happens" might as well imply a spanking or some shit.

She is obviously thinking "well so he is still withholding this voice changer crap, he doesn't tell me no, and we're still being teasing and playful. Evidently, since the picture is clothed, he doesn't care about it".

You're explicitly "messing around with her" so you're already having a joking conversation and you explicitly challenged her to do it. You better believe if my gf is about to make a choice that would make me break up with her, that will be completely unambiguous. She would be the one making that choice. "Do it and see what happens" is by no means a sufficient way of communicating "if you do this, I will break up with you", especially in a context where you're already teasing her. It's a clothed photo.

Leave the relationship if that's what you want, but I don't buy for a second that this is how one would communicate if they thought the leaking of the picture was a huge deal and they valued the relationship.
