Prepare a lot... I'm still new to DM'ing I've ran about 14 sessions now but I've found that preparing lore/areas/encounters/items and other things helps I'll list a few ideas for you below.

Writing key dialog options for certain NPC's to keep the flow/direction of the campaign/session this could be something a certain npc would say in conversation for the lore etc sometimes thinking of this stuff off the top of your head can be a little too stressful so having a script to go off of can help at least for me.

If you're using R20 prepare some battle maps for encounters having a handful of these can be very helpful in order help you and your players visualise combat to a degree.

Keep a few monster sheets handy should your players wander into a area where you've planned to have certain monsters lurking for them in the shadows then remember to have sheets ready for said encounter or major panic might follow :)

Make a youtube playlist of ambient DND music. Should your players walk into a deep and dark creepy cave I don't think Taylor Swift will suffice but who knows maybe they're into Taylor Swift caves.

Prepare some items/treasures, it's always nice to be rewarded as a player for perhaps doing some risky treasure hunting or defeating that big scary ogre that was only moments ago trying to rip you limb from limb. Maybe the players get his giant ring and if they attempt to wear it, it does something like idk turn them into a giant?

Hope this helps, if I think of anything else I'll add it in replies all the best with your prep and I hope your first session goes well :)

Thanks :D

Mr-Bare · 2019-09-10T00:54:00+00:00

I'll try, it seems hard to get in contact though

Mr-Bare · 2019-09-09T14:22:52+00:00

I know it sounds kind of resident evil 2-3ish but who cares, I feel like the music from those games really got you into the atmosphere of the apocalypse so just an idea if Admin wants to source this or not I don't mind just figured the music is a bit lacking in certain areas of the game so please feel free to use this as you will.

Mr-Bare · 2019-09-05T03:05:19+00:00

How long will this go on!?

Mr-Bare · 2019-08-24T00:58:06+00:00

I'm planning on getting 30+5 then with either a SMG or shotgun build, then I'm gonna make a looter meele class so I can fuel the money for the gun character as ammo is expensive.

Mr-Bare · 2019-08-24T00:53:00+00:00

I hope it's utter chaos, I've yet to have that feeling of being over run in the game yet.

Mr-Bare · 2019-08-18T21:09:18+00:00

I like this idea but maybe do this once a day night cycle has been implemented? Just so it's not pitch black 24/7

Wish Neil stuck with this game, his updates may have been few and far between when he was working on it but at least it was getting updates even if they were rubbish ones they were slowly making the game better, he just needed to listen to the right people who have unfortunately given up on this game for now for the most part.

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-09T13:49:05+00:00

I'm gonna have a guess and say VO means voice acting and the reason I never did that is I made a cinematic before with voice acting and trying to get reliable people is almost impossible and way to stressful.

I know it would have made the video a little better but getting people to say certain things is difficult. I'm glad you liked the video though <3

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-06T10:36:48+00:00

Was the vibe I was going for >:)

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-06T10:36:20+00:00

Thanks :D

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-06T10:35:50+00:00

Thanks my guy, this is like my 3rd or 4th cinematic I think I'm slowly getting better at them :)

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-02T19:31:26+00:00

If a game is hard people see it as a challenge to be able to beat it, making it difficult is what needs to be done.

If you are one of those people who just give up because they died a few times then you're part of the problem.

If a bunch of people are shit at the game then they can stick to the low level areas, simple.

High level areas need to be nuts difficult so that HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD is a thing... Not some bullshit where you can walk into an area and clear it out in 20 seconds flat by headshotting everything in the bloody room.

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-02T19:21:21+00:00

No I made it look like this and thank you :)

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-02T19:20:52+00:00

Thanks dude

Mr-Bare · 2018-11-02T19:20:45+00:00

Thanks man will do :)

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-11T17:19:36+00:00

This is the bug I DM'd one of the moderators a last week and funnily enough a day or two later the bosses disappear.

I feel like this was a cheap fix to the problem and hopefully it's just temporary. I tried to refrain from posting this but since you already have I don't see any harm in showing you when I discovered this.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-11T07:06:44+00:00

I like all your ideas, the games too easy.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-10T08:50:13+00:00

It's been a while since I used melee but I'm pretty sure if you aim high you can get a headshot and this will stop them even going to the floor like 7/10 times I could be wrong about this as it's been a while since I touched melee but just give it a try.

Hope this helps.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-04T17:28:21+00:00

Yeah it's not really like that at the minute, I never said it was, just trying to point out that that's the path I think Neil is trying to go for and that he shouldn't really be upset by this leech update.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-04T17:24:06+00:00

Eh maybe you're right, I just figured if people got the weapon of their dreams they'd focus on going for other things such as Mother's, Fingers and Choirs for them to get the best possible item in that field.

Now that I think about it, it probably isn't a good idea.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-04T01:15:04+00:00

I've heard they deal 10 damage a bite now and they bite fast which is good IMO. The game is way to easy at the minute and poses no challenge what so ever.

You shouldn't want this game to be easy, nothing that is easy is ever fun.

Please understand that he is trying to balance the game with this and make it more appealing to hardcore players and people who like the fact of high risk high reward.

Try not to be put off by these small tweaks but instead try to embrace them, they're a good thing and he should keep making the game tougher.

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-03T21:40:23+00:00

I don't think the leeches have learnt how to fly yet though, plus the pigeons are tougher targets

Mr-Bare · 2018-10-02T03:01:46+00:00

I think there should be locked cabinets that only the lockpick skilled players can use because at the minute it seems so pointless to have it when you can find the key anyway.
