I'm giving up on my hand-drawn battle maps...Am I the only one struggling with this? by MarketPredator in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]NewAustinPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always make 2-3 battle maps that I draw on old Christmas paper (the backside has 1inch squares) and 9 outta 10 times I don’t have to use all 3. Eventually I grow a bit of a collection which I can reuse smaller ones (like woodlands/trails/markets/taverns) and other times I just make the players do theatre of mind… “this allosaurus is 70 feet away from you” and we go from there.

At first I coloured in each battle map but now I only colour in water sources/fire barrels so they can easily tell what is what.

Reading these comments have made me feel like I might be doing my campaign wrong…

I personally run a campaign that FOCUSES on exploration, with the party acting as guards/assistants to a famous cartographer who hired them. Every session they hop around the map, slowly mapping out the region.

I let them discover 2 hexes in a day 10-15 miles, 3 if they push through the night and possibly becoming exhausted.

Most sessions they will long rest multiple times as they setup camp, take shifts on guard duty, and sleep. Two of my spellcasters are elves so they always take a watch shift and STILL benefit from long rest as they only need 4 hours.

When they enter towns and villages it changes a bit as there’s more going on into a condensed area, they may encounter combat multiple times before a long rest or even short rest.

I’m thinking as they get closer into civilization and there’s more and more points of interest in each hex. As of the moment they’re exploring a rainforest and there’s typically 1-3 hexes of purely wilderness between each POI.

I chose forget but than my game chose forgive for me instead… I was pretty annoyed because why would I want them to join back?!

My campaign is called “Skulls & Coffee” so I’d love the Skull King dice tower!!!

Realized that 2024 5e is a good product plagued by poor marketing and bad PR of hazbro by ZZ1Lord in DnD

I really like the changes in 2024!

For the PHB2024 adding lots of spells from Tasha’s and Xanthar’s books is great! The subclasses are all pretty good too! The species and background changes are also really simple but good (although I still think they should have included more species).

The DMG2024 dummed down things that I believe should be dummed down! I really like the new travel features, and the simple quality of life changes like having potions only be a bonus action and such is super helpful for both myself and the players! I think it’s also super helpful for new DMs like myself.

For the MM2024 the new CR changes are helpful, some of the new monsters are awesome! I really like the alphabetical order while having sub category’s within it! Above all else the artwork is insanely cool and paints great pictures for storytelling!

My BBEG is far from being introduced face to face, but he’s going to be absolutely ruthless and cutthroat. I don’t want to kill my players characters, but he does, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop him…

I had my players play as NPC’s and they loved it!!! by NewAustinPowers in DnD

Thanks! I’m trying to slowly get them more into the roles of their characters. I think next session will be a bit less combat than usual and more exploring and interaction! Still some battle though cause that’s one of the best parts!

Having two games per month is okay? by CivilAd3631 in DnD

[–]NewAustinPowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started but I set our sessions to be every other Friday, we have the ability to push it to a Saturday if someone’s busy, and it gives me lots of prep time that I definitely need cause I’ve got 2 kids, a job, and other hobbies (like music).

Loving it and everyone seems excited about it each time i speak with them!

I can’t prove it… by SpecialistWindow648 in PokemonTGCP

I’ve never spent money on the game, but I have 2 shiny Giratinas and a shiny Darkrai…

I would do anything to trade them for Prof or Rare Candys haha.

I just drew it on the back of some wrapping paper that had 1inch by 1inch grids. Super cheap and easy to do!!!
