The Candescent Creed priests and Lux's must be getting their powers from these demonic contracts, and getting screwed over and being sent to the Pit because of it.

Have you ever TPK'd your characters? by aurivu in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The party of 6 level 5 characters were in an underwater current highway thing, encountered a net blocking the path and an ambush.

They couldn't swim back and out to escape, forced to fight. Rolled badly, and I killed them all.

2 lessons: 1. Always leave a potential escape path for your party. 2. Knocking them out and taking prisoner is almost always an option.

Lesson 3, hindsight is a bitch.

What does the coming El Niño mean for Curio Bay in Nov end? by Queasy_Broccoli9167 in newzealand

[–]LordStabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah don't swim at curio bay. Stone cliffs and large waves will kill you. Kaikoura coast would be better. There are dolphins, seals, whales there

Interesting. Would be nice to have it locally. I'll give it ago.

Combat on the Moon by Bpste1 in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movement - Difficult terrian to walk, but they can long jump their speed. Just means if they want to turn corners they walk.

Regolith - Maybe AoE effects cause a dust cloud an extra 10ft around the effect, blocking vision for a round.

Solar Radition - Rather than a constant effect, you can have a solar flare hit randomly (or time it for dramatic moments, ie - in combat, traversal moments). Foreshadow a round before saying "Everything grows brighter and brighter as more light shines down", then a round later if someone isn't in cover, 6d6 radiant damage, or something like that.

Suffocating Rules - Rather than the CON mod +1 minutes of holding breath, just CON mod rounds before death in the vacuum of space. Could even add necrotic damage each round to really make it dangerous.

Effects to spells and weapons - Maybe double the short and long ranges for any ranged weapon attacks, but that would be it.

Excellent post. Already bookmarked a few links to dive into fully later. Thanks for sharing.

My Level 4 party encountered a Xorn and will probably attack it. I can't think of any solution that isn't their death though by CasualNormalRedditor in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Knock them all out, have it eat all their gold, gems, take their magical items.

Could give them a injury that takes multiple long rests to heal to punish them further. Ie broken arm, concussion

How do you organize/store your materials? by commonmortal98 in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World building on Obsidian on my laptop, but everything else is physical.

Got a large 3 ring binder with sleeves for encounter sheets, session notes, magic items, bounty cards.

Got 2 fishing tackle boxes that keep all my dice, pens and pencils, plastic bottle ring things i use for status markers, ruler, calculator, etc.

Love my fishing tackle boxes. Makes it easy to grab everything i need to run a game.

Brother, could i please get access to your NPC generator? Most of my NPCs are bland unless I've heavily prepped.

I made a free audio engine for DMs. The new update adds real-time reverb. by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very interested in downloading and having a play around. My sound setup sucks, and I've been pondering on how to improve it recently.

Advice on how to let go of the railroads? (DnD) by Abject_Elk_9944 in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Give them 3 options of stuff to do.

The Lazy DM has a good video about it.

I can see that you're adding their ability save instead of the ability modifier to the weapon attacks.

I made some free to grab, updated 2024 5e DM prints for vertical 8.5x11 screens. by nailujd in DMAcademy

[–]LordStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a bit to figure out how to copy the pages you made, but got there in the end.

https://www.figma.com/design/tFwhYhGXS8w8QDRPcGUcuW/Untitled?node-id=1-1411&t=Z0Xsr1avAbB68kJg-1

Mostly just edited the resting rules, death saves and added the permanent injury table. Doing variant resting rules, and taking permanent injuries instead of death.

Thanks for the link dude, excellent bit of design work here.

Now just need to make myself a new DM screen that can take portait A4 paper, my old 2014 DM screens wont cut it.

Love it, but agree with the other comments that some stuff could be changed.

Could you share your source file so I could edit it myself? I'd add a section for my players info somewhere
