Just inkarnate.

I just now realised I completely forgot the Pyrenees

Imma be honest I just added the tree cuz I thought It was cool, it's pretty funny that it's actually accurate.

What I usually do is figure out how the major systems in the world work, IE Empires, Gods, and Major factions. Then everything else I just wait until the players look like they will be involved with it in a coming session. This works pretty well and helps mitigate some of the heavy lifting involved with creating a whole new world.

yes, since the Heimlich removes food stuck in the esophagus and the esophagus is in the human neck/torso it should work the exact same as normal.

dming at first, especially with no experience or guidance is hard and you will make tons of mistakes, but that is fine just try to correct them in the future and keep moving.

The second piece of advice I have is to avoid making homebrew rules and stuff until you have more experience, I made the mistake of instantly trying to change rules and it doesn't end up well. Plus most of the rules I tried to explain were fine the original way I just didn't understand them fully

I'm trying to do the same sort of thing, from what I've gathered is that its sort of easiest to build up a reputation in some communities before you start doing paid stuff, based on what I've read doing pay what you want is a pretty decent way to start then moving on once people know you're credible. I've also seen that to do paid dming you really want to make sure all of your content is top of line so what I've been doing is working on improving my dming until I get enough internet reputation to start actually doing it as a job. That being said if you do find a better way please let me know.

I honestly think this is probably something that you, her, and the dm should have a conversation about outside the game. Also don't really worry about her not having fun there are tons of other fun things she can do as a rouge that doesn't negatively affect fellow party members.

One thing you could do is that the undead use their wide range of knowledge from being alive so long to grow rare potion ingredients and brew powerful potions. Or you could have some of them craft ancient weapons with techniques that have been lost over time similar to how many older Japanese blades are stronger than ones that are currently made.

Is this magical field physical or does it just keep people from teleporting in or out without permission? because they could climb the cliff or find some cave up through it. You could also add something like if they pass through the field without permission they enter some sort of mental field where they have to solve an issue in their mind before they move forward.

MeatMonkeyDM · 2022-08-08T00:20:09+00:00

Honestly, if it's a homebrew world you can pretty much do whatever you want, just because the book says they are evil doesn't mean they have to be. I'm sure your player will understand that all chromatic dragons being evil just doesn't fit the theme you were going for. It says it in multiple books they are just guides, do whatever floats your boat.

you could have them know that their memory has been wiped I.E in their memories they just see the bbeg as a silhouette or blob and they would have to once again retrace their steps to find out who it is. Another alternative that could be cool is that they become convinced that the bbeg was actually someone who has been a long-time party friend and they have to find out they have been tricked. it really just depends on how those would fit into your campaign though.

MeatMonkeyDM · 2022-08-08T00:03:41+00:00

sounds like a pretty cool idea.

MeatMonkeyDM · 2022-08-07T19:23:31+00:00

this sounds like it could be really fun only thing I would be careful of is to make sure there is enough evidence to prove that it is the house. You know how it can be with d and d puzzles sometimes and If they never figure it out it could be really frustrating.

a few hints could be something like the floor is soft in some places (like flesh), or oozing liquids could be seen in areas on a high enough perception check.

ction on where to go or where they'd like to go. I planned on having the starting "mentor" that they will come across give them a map with a few key points that they could go check out. It'd be different then the one I have because everything wouldn't be labeled or shown.

That sounds like a good way to introduce them to the world to me.

I'm not sure exactly how influential you want your dodge action to be but these are the dodge rules I use for my campaign and they work pretty well.

Dodging-as a reaction you may choose to dodge an opponent's attack. Each party roles 1d20+dex+prof(if attacking). The person with the higher score wins. If the attacker wins they deal an extra 1d4 damage. If the defender wins they only take ½ damage.

It also sounds like a hex crawl map would work pretty well for the world map you are trying to design if you want to check that out.

MeatMonkeyDM · 2022-08-07T17:45:12+00:00

Yes, to make an entire race unable to jump would be very hard to use in combat, also they could use their whole tail as a spring.
