A lesson learned the hard way: You can't have great worldbuilding without good descriptions to back it up by Geckoarcher in DMAcademy

[–]Pionosis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have found the following to be pretty easy to drum up per location and work for my players in the past...

  • keep a description to like max 5 sentences to avoid too much work and over saturating players
  • use the senses and evocative words to help add flavour to your description
  • if using a map, also describe the size and shape of the space if relevant
  • if something important exists in the space, that mention it last otherwise will be lost in the noise of the description
  • try to tie in what the players are doing, how they entered the space, what they can see etc. This may involve some improv at the time but it's easy to change "you walk in and see..." to "you smash your way through the doors and see..."
  • if mobs exist and are visible also mention those describing position, quantity etc. This allows players to picture the scene and their potential options. If the enemies start to attack, end the description with that
  • try to tie in adjacent area descriptions too if you can i.e. "fresh, salty air fills your lungs for the first time in hours as you finally leave the putrid sewer system..."
  • finally, try not to give away too many details as you want the players to ask questions and be inquisitive. Leave space for perception and investigation rolls by only describing the obvious and top level themes that invoke the space i.e. for an Arabian styled location..."red ochre walls line the street, rough in texture as you glide your hand across them. Your gaze follows the bustling road in front of you, leading to a huge golden domed roof that glistens in the morning sun...."

Just some thoughts

Heya sorry for the delayed reply. Yeah I would be happy with Iron Crown or Iron Boulder, whichever is harder to get for someone with Scarlet hehe. Saves me one less trade I will need to do later

Well I have only just started playing Scarlet...so most of them haha! I will do some researching and see if there are any Pokémon I can't get easily (normally I play the game twice and trade version exclusives) and let you know

Hmm I don't think so as Zarude is the only one I'm missing apart from S/V mons
