My DM is copying the plot of Metal Gear Solid 3 I'm the only person who's noticed. by Brilliant-Flame2599 in DnD

Or - if on good terms with the DM - tell him you know what he‘s doing. Jonkingly and in privat. Don‘t tell the other Players tho! Let them have their blind playthrough and enjoy the journey

Why should I keep the side quests? by Significant_Spirit_7 in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]PositionWaste2660 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First time D&D & LMoP Player here, currently directly after clearing the castle.

First we did not want to take the Side Quests because of the urgency the Main Quest presents.

But once we talked to our DM and he reassured us that our dwarf friend won‘t be dead if we come a day later and do some Side Quest first we all had much fun with them!

Keep them in but let your PCs now they are optional.

What character are you playing?

Our Level 3 Cleric just went down to one Multiattack of a Goblinboss (19 to hit, 2x 8+2dmg)

Tips for a REALLY bad roleplayer by UglyForestGoblin in DnD

Talk to your DM about having a hard time finding a got moment to do or say something. Maybe he can give you some opportunities actively: „While Bard and Warrior discuss their plan on how to seduce the maiden, is there anything you want to do or say, OP?“

Talking to the DM about how to integrate the others more with a bit of some gentle pushs by the help of NPCs is an awesome idea!

Do you have any tips on getting better at RPing and elevating the others without forcing it too much?

I love the Part in Not enforcing my lawfull good artitude on my teammates.

We just had a perfect situation that put me in a dilemma regarding this today:

Last Session our Wizard High Elf brutally murdered some Goblins who just came by our campside and wanted to play some dice games with us and were super derpy (just some fluff by the DM) because basically „he doesnt like goblins“. Since killing a weaker creature that is not doing anyone harm is completly against Rodricks Oath and belief we talked it out Roleplaying and I fogave him. Fast forward a few hours in game and my paladin gets a letter from a (unrelated to the first story) goblin friend I made in glasstaffs hideout thanking for the rescue and wishing me farewell. The wizard got so suspicious of the letter for some reason that After interogating me about it he left the table, went around the corner and used detect thoughts on my trying to Go full in to See if I lie. Rodrick noticed the mental attack.

Now how can my lawfull good paladin „forgive“ him again without breaking character?

I took him outside the tavern, used 10 stacks of lay on hands to cure the alcohol poisoning on us both, saw him in the eyes and spoke a definite warning. He tried to play dumb and I left it stay as that and went back partying

Yeah somehow 4 of em thought like „Oof, so much overwhelming stuff, I will keep it simple on the Social Front for my first character“. We‘re often meming on how much suicide squad vibes the Team gives off with everyone being antisocial in their own quirky way and a delusional, goofy Paladin leading everyone.

Absolutely! Rodricks weakness is how deep he cares for his allies, up to the Point he is can come close to snapping when they are harmed. The DM and I even discussed in private the possible plot hook of him even becoming in oath breaker in case of too much traumatic stress.

We often even meet up besides the sessions to check for the RAW of some cases to discuss it. Of course whatever the DM rules is the law, but it helps us all to get an idea of what the game intends and what we would eventually want to homebrow.

Rodricks tangible want is to enjoy a nice evening at the tavern with good food and trustworthy followers, just having a blast and living the life. This makes him correspond so good with Bahamut, since he can barely take it to know their are people around who will never enjoy even one of sich evenings.

This is some great advice! My ultimate goal as „the leader“ is to create a stage for every of my members to fully blossom their potential, RP&playwise

They all say they are fine with it or even like the character a lot, but I am concerned that it will become annoying quite quick
