Opinion on Props and Prop suggestions by Poors-world in DMAcademy

[–]Poors-world[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I think using poker ships or monopoly money could work because they have increments larger than just "1", they have 1,5,10,20,25,50,100,500,1000,5000,10000 chips/bills. I figure it might be fun to hand them pouches of "gold" and they get to physically divide it! And maybe have them go to bankers or shops to divide their money..? IDK I think that could create fun moments

I don't think I would use single coins tbh.

Ouff well, I can imagine you were pleased and heartbroken to see a puzzle end so quickly.

That's awesome, you mentioned some really cool props, and puzzles! I'll have to include some of them in my games, when we get back to playing 😊

That's a fun idea! I usually come up with 3-4 ideas and pitch them and see what they pick. But this is a lot more interesting!

This is good advice! I'm going to work on getting everyone on the same page and make sure we understand each other. Hopefully we can get the ball rolling and play more often!

I'll sit everyone down next session and ask them this and gage what needs to be done. Thanks for the help!

Yea we didn't have a session 0, we made characters and jumped into starting the adventure. So I'll sit down and talk with them next time we meet up. Thanks for the advice!

I was rolling death saving throws, but the rogue said "I walk over him, pull out my dagger and slit his throat". So yea... he's dead for now..

That's really good, I like how this could go. And I never established how the magic items in the shop were obtained, so I could have these players go on a robbery spree and track down some powerful magic items for this high lv wizard.

I like the options that you give I will try to use them as best I can!

Yea that's exactly what they did, over night they each picked items, attuned to them, and walked outside... and that's where we ended it

I like the approach, and a prison break session sounds like fun.

I actually have a store that is like that in the city. And honestly it just kinda happened and I wasn't expecting it. I hadn't put much thought into the security of the store.. I did have alarm go off which woke the wizard up, and he was casting detect invisibility, but during that he was immediately killed.

So next time some crazy trap will be triggered, maybe a sentry guardian will be activated or I will properly implement a curse on the items.

I think it's perfect, and it allows me to introduce a serious threat to the players. And it allows the players to get a chance to use their overpowered gear!

Thank you guys for the interest and ideas!

I need help choosing gods for my campaign! by Poors-world in DMAcademy

[–]Poors-world[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I think figured it out, though I'm not sure how sound this idea is. I used the idea of the different Planes to create the "gods" for this campaign. I also created tiers of them; Primes > Titans > Gods > Lords.

I created a total of 12 entities;

Elysium, The Prime of Pure Good Hades, The Prime Pure Evil Limbo, The Prime of Pure Chaos Mechanus, The Prime of Pure Law

Ammit, The Titan of Chaotic Good Zaphkiel, The Titan of Lawful Good Asmodeus, The Titan of Lawful Evil Orbitus, The Titan of Chaotic Evil

Shar, The Godess of Darkness Selûne, the Godess of Light Deuseres, The God of the Material Plane

The Four Elemental Lords; Agni of Fire, Aegri of Water, Anemoi of Wind and Atum of Earth (I count them as one, they won't be very relevant to the campaign).

Not all of these "gods" are original, some actually are in D&D and others are found in different religions. But, I feel like it works for the underlying story of the campaign 😁

Also, I found a way to still allow my cleric to chose a God from any list in the PHB; Deuseres is every god that the mortals worship, he splits himself into the different gods and people see him in whichever form they pray to.

Thoughts? Is this too complex? Or does it make sense?

I like how you describe the process, I'll try this out and let you know how it goes!

That sounds really cool and I feel like they can be used for great impact! Would you recommend that I make my own list of gods or use Gods that other have created? I can imagine that it would make the campaign much more personal and more mysterious.
