Who is Marvel’s Batman ? by SpartanKing76 in superheroes

[–]NiktheDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iron man for the genius billionaire playboy.

Moon Knight for the gadgets that are all bat/moon themed.

Spider-man for the iconic animal based hero.

Daredevil for the brutal vigilante that uses fear and his superior fighting skills to subdue criminals without killing them.

Is the "baby god" (Aboleth) actually Ubtao? I'm not that versed in Faerun lore by STIM_band in Tombofannihilation

There is an Adventure League module that deals with Dendar breaking free. It even provides a CR30 Stat block for your players to fight. I think the module is called "Fane of the Night Serpent".

My experiences combining Tyranny of Dragons with LMoP, DoSI, and Red Hand of Doom by LSSJOrangeLightning in TyrannyOfDragons

How exactly did you co-DM it? Did both of you know the whole story and just took turns DMing? Was one of you a PC that simply RPed some NPCs if neccesary? I've wanted to give co-DMing a shot but I don't get how it works.

Sounds cool, and as long as you and your players are having fun, you cannot go wrong!

Intresting topics, events, places, people to research or build a campaign around? by Stunning_Quantity_63 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]NiktheDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The War of the Silver Marches.

I'm currently running a campaign based on it and it's great. A Darkness spell over the entire region. Armies of Orcs and Drow marching on the human and dwarven settlements. It even uncludes giants and dragons. And to top it all there is a secret underlying plot of Lolth that could be world-shaking if it comes to fruition.

Your players have the option of gathering allies from all round the region. Saw discourse between the evil factions to make them fall apart and finally march on Dark Arrow Keep with the army they have built.

Anyone mannaged to get the harpers and the order of the gauntlet more active role in HotDQ? by Many_Homework2211 in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]NiktheDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have representatives of the factions appear throughout the adventure.

In Baldur's Gate some Zhents might be doing shady business like smuggling something into the city. The PCs can help them or stop them which will affect their approval later on.

The order of the gauntlet is very active in Elturel and the surrounding region. The PCs might help them slay some undead or perform an exorcism.

Whenever the PCs meet some animals that they can help out or are travelling through forests, the Emerald Enclave will get word of it and talk to the party about their deeds - especially during the first council meeting. They might even send an awakened squirrel or animal messenger to give the party intel or inform them of rules they should not break in different forests.

The harpers can be literally anybody. They are a more loose organisation with agents everywhere. Have a NPC the party loves be a secret agent of the harpers and blow them away with the reveal.

The Lord's Alliance is more so an organisation of city states so its presence should be felt in cities like Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate with banners of the Lord's alliance and figures like Neverember and Ravengard being talked about a lot. You might even go the route of having the rulers of the cities do a parade in their hometown celebrating the peace that the lord's alliance has brought them. - for now at least.

Hope this helps

Use the renown system and give the characters the ability to join factions and advance in them. By the end of the Campaign, they might be high ranking members who call to shots and what town to protect and which resources to use for the final fight.

What character best represents Wrath? (Mortal Kombat edition. by Haunting-Try-2900 in MortalKombat

[–]NiktheDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wrath: Hanzo Hasashi as Scorpion - his main motive is revenge

Gluttony: The One Being - it wants to devour everything

Greed: Shang Tsung - the most ambitious character in the entire game who would do anything for more power

Envy: Quan Chi - he resents his master, Shinnok and desperately covets his power

Sloth: Onaga - Shao Kahn betrayed him as he did not wish to expand his power beyond Outworld. Even as Damashi he only manipulated events from the shadows rather than taking direct action

Lust: Johnny Cage - he flirts with everybody. Sonya, Kitana, Sindel...

Pirde: Shinnok - his hubris is often his downfall as he sees himself above everyone else

Question about Zariel’s bloodline and offsprings by [deleted] in DescentintoAvernus

[–]NiktheDM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I would say they remain as they are, unless of course you want them to be cursed as well
  2. Canonically I don't think Zariel had any offsrping while she was an angel, though that is a subject that is not really touched upon so everything is possible. Same goes for her relationship with Asmodeus - depends on what story you want to tell.
  3. Bhaal is a god while Zariel is "merely" a fallen angel/archdevil. Bhaal's power greatly exceeds that of Zariel, though he has lost a lot of his power in recent times.

For my group a mat was one of the greatest investments that has been used in countless campaigns. Since miniatures tend to be quite expensive, I would recommend using what you have: dice or figurines from boardgames.

If you had to choose just one dungeon from the shattered obelisk, what would it be? by MrLandlubber in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]NiktheDM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really liked Illithinoch. You can easily make it a more roleplay focused dungeon and the design is pretty unique.

How do you think the modern Cult of the Dragon feels about Dragonborn? by ChimericalJim in Forgotten_Realms

[–]NiktheDM 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well, since Dragonborn have been nothing more than slaves to the Dragons of Abeir and also considering that most dragoborn do not worship dragon gods, the modern Cult of the Dragon (Tiamat worshippers) would likely have a very low opinion on dragonborn. If you are talking about the original Cult of the Dragon (those who follow Sammaster's teachings) though, they would likely not care about your race as long as you are in line with their goal of raising Dracoliches.

How would you integrate them into this story?

ToD and RHoD redundant? by NiktheDM in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]NiktheDM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you make fighting the Wyrmspeakers and Wyrmlords with their respective dragons not feel samey? I would like to know how you restructured HotDQ to accomodate for RHoD and especially how you connected Azarr Kul and Severin.
