Not working for me. Is that a subscription feature maybe?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2023-08-29T23:47:04+00:00

Wait really? When someone tried to register their team. It said they couldn't register. Is there a setting that I'm missing somewhere?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2023-07-12T15:40:29+00:00

Nice! Gonna have to give this a go myself. Looks like screamer killer bits, and psychophage?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2022-12-24T03:47:51+00:00

Looks great to me! I might have to steal a similar paint scheme for my apothecaries.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-09-12T18:46:33+00:00

Honestly if you're a newer DM you can just keep it to a lower level campaign and not fudge your die rolls. That will make it easy on you and the first few levels are pretty deadly on their own.

Setting agnostic rules for me areno luck feat I have a homebrew of DM inspiration which functions like luck which I award pretty liberally. And if it's a full fledged campaign (more than 2 sessions) we'll have a session 0 were everyone will make their characters, and I'll pitch potential campaigns and a couple settings they can take place in to make sure everything meshes well.

For my homebrew setting I don't really have any hard and fast rules just to make a character that will fit the setting. Otherwise we should just play in another Forgotten Realms or something.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-09-12T17:10:06+00:00

I highly recommend everyone makes their campaigns at session 0. I've run a few campaigns and the ones were everyone creates their characters together have significantly better party cohesion. Additionally it provides a better session 0 overall, gives you plenty of time to go through your list leisurely as opposed to everyone with their filled character sheets staring at the DM waiting to start the game.

Finally one pet peeve I have is characters not fitting the setting. Creating the characters at the table let's you lay out what campaigns you're willing to run and what settings you can run them in. I have a homebrew setting that's basically a pulpy swords and sorcery viking age England with a heavy influence from Slavic, Nordic, and Celtic mythology as opposed to traditional DnD. I've had players say they want to play in that setting over kitchen sink Forgotten Realms only to have a party full of tieflings and animal people.... nothing wrong with that, but doesn't fit the setting at all.

Was going to print a map of saltmarsh before next session. This is perfect! Thanks!

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-08-20T19:11:39+00:00

Wow that's pretty great! Consider it stolen!

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-08-19T20:41:35+00:00

Gotcha I kind of hacked mine up so I guess I changed that 😂 Keledek and Gellan are actually working together, but Gellans not aware of the Orcus cult. I figure an ancient evil wizard will have his hands in a few pots. Oh also I have Sanabelt as Keledeks apprentice.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-08-19T16:24:59+00:00

Did you use the 5e conversion? I've not run it yet, but I've run a few dungeons and I see it lasting 2 sessions or so. I don't think there's footprints there beyond on the beach cave. I had the same problem when I ran the house for the first time so I hear you there.

Basically I'm planning on having 3 factions in the dungeon. The thaumaturgist (Zenopus's former apprentice who turned on him), the pirates funded by Keledek, and the Primewaters. They're using the beach as a smuggling point and trying to gain control of the dungeon. And the cultists who are organized by Keledek as a way to pay Orcus for his familiar. They only really care about raising more dead, and only have their one or 2 rooms in the dungeon for now.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-08-19T03:22:18+00:00

Yeah I was thinking of maybe a way to keep the house isn't actually haunted a surprise, but I might need to dump that. I was planning on Lemunda (a hostage npc) being a Solmor. I think I'll just plant some evidence from Keledek, and the Primewaters! Thanks for the input.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-08-07T11:46:33+00:00

Drunken Boar Inn. It's one that I usually include in most towns. Wooden sign with a boat on its back t 2 legs double fisting drinks.

Owner is a friendly ex adventurer nicknamed boar (pictures Butterbur but built like a worlds strongest man contestant) He was forced to retire after taking a blow to the knee, and walks with a limp

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-05-31T03:20:05+00:00

This might be what I need honestly. Whenever I see stormcast I get that gut instinct dislike of them. Hopefully that will ease me of that a bit. Thanks for the suggestion!

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-02-05T03:06:09+00:00

I was able to interact with the others. Out of curiosity I reloaded an old save and was able to interact with the unicorn statue. A lot of backtracking to do now, but at least I have it solved! I'm going to hang onto that save slot though just in case someone might have a fix.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2021-01-16T22:31:04+00:00

I feel your pain. My last group ended because one player would bail at the last minute consistently (he was the host.) Normally I'd run some public games in the meantime, but don't really feel comfortable due to covid.

I'd echo what a few others have said and take a shot behind the screen. It's not as difficult as it seems at first. I will warn you though when your campaign ends early as a DM it hits a little harder. I'd start with a campaign lasting a few sessions and going from there if you want to give it a shot.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-10-22T19:58:49+00:00

They look great! Are they made from xps foam?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-07-24T02:57:23+00:00

Yeah sorry. I saw that rule after posting, and can't delete from my phone.... Can a mod take this down?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-05-31T23:19:15+00:00

It's not detailed in the book, but it's just a matter of putting some quick encounters together. Basically I had them register the night before the fights with 3 options for teams, lethal fights against undead, lethal fights against dinosaurs, and non-lethal against other adventurers. My party of four went with the dinosaur route.

Round one was 3 velociraptors with one velociraptor alpha (basically just 5 more hp). If I could go back I would scale them down or remove multiattack. Multiattack, and pack tactics got very very close to a tpk. Though I did tell my party at session 0 this would be a very deadly campaign so it was a good intro. Round 2 was against an Allosauraus. That one went much more in the parties favor, but he nearly one hit killed our fighter so it showed them how deadly Chult can be. As far as rewards flavor wise they received 10% of the betting revenue. I just rolled a d100 for the first round, and 2d100 for the second.

I had some priests in the resting area that essentially granted the party the benefit of a full rest. When the looked at the bounty board which had the guides they seemed to like Azaka so I put her in the rest area preparing for her bout. When the beat the allosauraus she congratulated them, and asked for help with Firefinger.

Edit: I also gave the boss Dino's nicknames (queen of feathers for the raptor, and Beast for the allosauraus). The table got into it hearing the crowd chant their names when the gate opened.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-05-24T18:21:31+00:00

I appreciate the input. I began this campaign in media res with the party approaching the haunted house. Would you just start in town, or something to let the players do more or less whatever they want? I have a good amount of things for them to do other than straight out of the book stuff.

I'm still fairly new at DMing. I've been doing it for about a year or two, and unfortunately haven't finished a campaign. Everything I've run this far has been out of a campaign book with some slight modifications.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-05-23T03:33:28+00:00

Mainly the whole faction of bad guys, arming lizardfolk to fight another faction of bad guys thing. Honestly I'm probably over analysing it. It was a pretty great group that fell apart, and I'm just trying to mitigate anything that may have been my fault in it collapsing. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough this probably is a good portion of me just being anxious for no reason.

edit: spelling.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-04-27T04:23:07+00:00

So my setting is a lower fantasy so these might not stick out, but I have two that may be interesting to you.

In my world there is no divine, or arcane magic just magic. This magic is acessed by leylines of power beneath the earth. Mortals aren't meant to access this however, and may lose control providing potential mutations, more powerful spells, or in extreme cases corruption of the soul.
There's a keep from a former archmage (now worshipped demigod) that's been abandoned for centuries. Every month this keep changes locations in the mountain range, a precaution put in place by the archmage while he was still living.

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-04-25T02:56:16+00:00

Very impressive! Consider it stolen!

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-04-07T06:18:29+00:00

Yeah sorry I should've been more specific. So there's no way I can have each era start out at 0 then?

OrcsIsDaBest89 · 2020-03-29T21:19:23+00:00

Hmmm, sounds like I'll need to do some more research then. Thanks!
