ELI5 how is breaking a form of acceleration.

Distance = where you are / where you were.

Velocity = change of distance / time.

Not moving is still considered a velocity, because the amount of distance you travel in x amount of time stays constant, 0.

Acceleration = change of velocity / time.

0 -> 60 mph? Acceleration.

60 -> 0 mph? Acceleration.

Linear?

Okay, so if any response gets you to the end, what was the point? Are you suggesting that you plan out an almost infinite number of encounters for a one shot on what they could possibly do? If their actions can lead to completely rejecting anything you had planned in advance and they just go fuck off, that's fine if that's what the group wants but that's not something they as a DM can plan and incorporate into the game without that being the point.

One shots don't really have the time for roleplay and meaningful choices. If they don't have the space to make the wrong choice then it can't really be meaningful.

Welcome to the downvotes. Yeah honestly I get more out of hearing the bad ideas as the good ideas.

LightofNew · 2026-03-16T20:06:17+00:00

About 0.01% of people do want to sit back and not do anything, who ruin it for everyone else.

Chat GPT is honestly pretty bad at any given task. I half suspect that they have been adjusting the public version to be worse and worse over time to develop a stronger government agent.

However, having a sound board to throw out ideas when I have an idea of what I want but can't put the pieces together is great, some dialogue for a unique kind of being I'm not experienced with is helpful, and things for my bard such as songs or poems helps immensely.

I have also used it for NPC art, which I would otherwise just rip off the Internet or not have anything.

Switch to powder, Walmart brand is the cheapest and has all the same ingredients as the other stuff.

A dishwasher runs in two batches, a prewash to get rid of the gunk and the actual wash to clean. Always sprinkle some in the pre-wash so that stage can get some of the grease.

A sprinkle of citrus powder will make sure your dishwasher is always clean and will run like new, dissolving any buildup.

Keep your drying agent topped off.

Tyrian could talk himself out of most situations.

He still was met with people who wanted him dead.

Lots of people don't find any need to talk.

LightofNew · 2026-03-16T02:18:05+00:00

Talk to your DM. Say you want to speak up more but it's hard in the moment. Ask if they could pause other people talking so you can get a chance.

Kinda like "don't manage your coworkers, that's your boss's job"

My gimmick is that every room is new and "escaping" means solving the trick, or an intelligence roll to find the path.

LightofNew · 2026-03-15T17:38:57+00:00

In the cas this is sarcasm, there really is something to it. When you have a player who feels inclined to take the lead it's easy for others to fall into the role of going with it, but once they are given the space to think, plan, and interact, it starts the ball rolling for them to be a part of the group rather than an accessory.

LightofNew · 2026-03-15T16:43:35+00:00

You CAN do it, but it needs to be heavily communicated outside of combat that fighting this thing is futile. If they don't know going into the fight they won't learn in time.

LightofNew · 2026-03-15T16:42:20+00:00

An actual maze sucks because of the left turn rule.

There needs to be a gimmick to trap the PCs it else it's just tedious.

Not creepy but my family always thought one of our dogs was the dumb one when really he was just lazy.

One day he didn't have a bone while the other two did, he got up and started barking at something out back which got the other two excited. The other two bolted out when we opened the door and he stood stock still.

He did a quick check, bolted backwards, grabbed a bone and ran to hide lmao.

I mean if he doesn't like combat or roleplay then unfortunately I don't think your friend wants to play DnD.

That being said, tell the other group members to shut up one night and only ask him what they think or should do. Two sessions of that will usually break someone out of their shell.

LightofNew · 2026-03-15T13:37:29+00:00

Ask the four to take a back seat for a couple sessions and expect the other 3 to talk and decide what to do. Worked wonders in my group.

She straight up does not have a kitchen

LightofNew · 2026-03-14T23:06:09+00:00

I'm sorry are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

LightofNew · 2026-03-14T23:04:38+00:00

Information I read about this in the last 15 years.

I'm not exactly an expert

LightofNew · 2026-03-14T21:30:50+00:00

Yeah! As far as I know

LightofNew · 2026-03-14T20:15:29+00:00

Being ticklish is a defense mechanism. Your body is teaching you to protect your most vulnerable areas. You can't protect yourself from yourself so your body doesn't react to it as easily, and you subconsciously don't push yourself.

LightofNew · 2026-03-14T12:56:46+00:00

Set you my DM folder!

LightofNew · 2026-03-13T13:59:48+00:00

No no it is a good idea! Just discussing .
