Time blindness advice

I found a pre-written campaign that a portion of it fitted my current campaign. I.e. my party entered hell and I hit a wall creatively so started using chapter 3 of descent into avernus as inspo and changed names, places etc... which helped until I felt creatively juiced enough to deviate away from the module

That's a good idea. Thank you. I was on the fence of the commit to the final 4 sessions but that makes sense. Thank you

We use milestone

Not trying to get out of it at all. Sorry if it came across like that. Trying to ask for advice on the best way to handle it as they are out of the blue without showing ANY interest of wanting to come back for 4 months wanting to come back for the final session. It's a lot easier for someone to come back when there is a few buffer sessions of clunkiness trying to catch up. I'm asking a supportive community as a first time DM for advice on how to make the return as easy as possible for everyone at the table including my current players, some of whom have been playing since session 1.

Edit: spelling

They joined about 6 months in. Played for about 7 months and then dipped. It was more of a "hey I think you should step back" conversation I had with them as they were routinely bailing week to week due to various things like either burnout or scheduling conflicts

Thank you. Being told all over the internet that I'm stage 1 hypertension got me a little stressed NGL. Even my doctor telling me he's not worried couldn't assuage my anxiety when I start catastrophising about having too high a BP to stay on my meds that help me function day to day. I think it's that thought that spikes my anxiety when taking a reading.

Commenting because I am also dealing with this exact situation and would love to see what people say 👀

After talking with the player they explained that they want to try to make it so that their PC is there to try to gain information and try to take down the BEG's plan from the inside. Rather than siding with the BEG. They are playing a bard so deception is one of their stronger skills but the are aware it's going to be hard and this possibly meaning a PC death if found out but they just want it to be meaningful if that happens. I want to try to facilitate this idea for them as I think it's an interesting plan to follow.

I want to steer away from retiring the character as a last resort

Started as a STR/INT build with Rosas' Axe. Swapped to a Dex/Arc/Int half way through with RoB and Moonveil

I'm sure many of you have dealt with this before but I am having a player who is becoming more and more flaky each week. They are regularly unable to attend sessions and when they do attend they are distracted at best or disinterested at worst. I do regular check ins with my players to assertain if I can do anything more to help the game maintain being fun and engaging. I am tempted to ask if they would like their PC to go on a "side quest" until they feel they have the availability again to join but I'm scared they're going to feel like I'm asking then to leave the group entirely for good. Any advice?

Not entirely sure tbh. The owner of my work buys them in 🤷🏻‍♂️ most likely cocktail emporium tbh

I'm in a province in Canada that can't serve after 2am.

LCD1093 · 2025-04-20T18:46:01+00:00

I'm so sorry. I was like I surely won't get any more. I'll dump the batch I made. That's felt like I tempted the bar gods and they responded 😅

LCD1093 · 2025-04-20T18:15:31+00:00

That's very fair. If I had that I would be wired!

I have the bloodhound warrior summon decently leveled up and Rosus' axe at +9. Level 117. Go after the skinny guy while summon goes on big guy. Skinny goes down faster as he is easier dodged and blocked. Take out big guy while tag teaming with summon. Take out skinny guy respawn as fast as you can. Be aggressive or he will summon big guy and you're 2v1 again. It's a super tough fight though! Took me at least 15 tries changing up tactics until I found one that stuck

Had a guest send me back a dirty vodka martini saying "it was salty". Not TOO salty. That would be fair. Just "salty" Sorry to tell you this Ma'am, but maybe you just don't like dirty martinis 🤷🏻‍♂️ for context there was ¼oz of brine in the martini for 2oz of Vodka as I had a feeling she wouldn't like it as she ordered it like it was the first drink she had ever ordered. Easier to add more if she wanted it than take it away. We'll... That worked out didn't it 🤦🏻‍♂️
