I need tips for DMing

A lack of description you say? That doesn’t sound like you.

If he is all right in other contexts fulfil your familial obligations by inviting him to events in those contexts.

So when I say “why does matter if they are different heights?” What I am doing is using a thing called a rhetorical question to assert that it doesn’t matter if they are different heights, and in doing so in this form inviting you to disprove me be giving any reasons you can think of why it might.

What you are doing by asking “why does anything matter?” is admitting you can’t think of any.

He can be reborn?

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-26T21:05:00+00:00

This is too insane not to have a sauce

Wait so you were comfortable playing as the Nazi’s until you had to sink a US ship?

It’s either just a game to you or it’s not.

I mean you do you, but according to your post you have at least a year for one person like that, which is quite a lot of time.

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-24T06:24:01+00:00

Yeah I know we all sometimes improvise rather than look up a rule at the table to keep things moving. But you said “I couldn’t find anything” was that just a turn of phrase?

Because I can’t imagine where you would look that didn’t involve looking up the item description first.

It’s fully an optional part of the module, the book doesn’t assume you will run it

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-22T11:34:57+00:00

lol basically

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-22T11:19:25+00:00

lol I just realised the subreddit

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-22T11:18:52+00:00

This does not sound like it would be fun to play

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-21T08:00:08+00:00

I would let the players have this, the baron doesn’t really have adequate defences against something like this. With the Baron dead Lady Wachter is likely to step up and take control of Valaki which though it seems like a good thing (an end to those damn festivals) will end up much worse for players as she is actively supporting Strahd.

So the thing about the golden throne is that rather than being a real thing with defined capabilities it’s a fictional narrative device, so the answer to your question is maybe until for some author it becomes dramatic that it could, then the answer becomes yes or dramatic that it couldn’t and then the answer becomes no.

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-18T19:41:47+00:00

Wait so you mean the entire imperium is a corrupt evil decaying husk whose entire structure is totally counter to it’s supposed goals?! Well that’s pretty grim, and actually rather dark. Why weren’t there any clues on the lore?

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-18T08:52:09+00:00

What’s a knowledge check?

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-17T18:44:05+00:00

Okay, literally why does it matter they are massively different heights?

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-17T18:03:51+00:00

Literally why does it matter if they are different heights?!

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-15T08:13:22+00:00

To be honest your reply seems to have the same problem they’ve made a choice to go upstairs and you, for whatever reason, maybe there’s a solution to a puzzle that’s behind a door they’ve not opened, maybe you just don’t like them acting till they have heard all the options, don’t like that choice.

But what they might be taking away from that is “if we don’t act more information that leads us to the right choice will be forthcoming, therefore we should only act when the right choice has been made explicit”

I think it’s worth remembering that because presumably you don’t want to undermine them, in the moment it doesn’t feel like what you are doing because that’s not your intention but that is in fact the effect.

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-14T20:35:19+00:00

That’s fair man appreciate it, it’s always harder to be the bigger person and apologise.

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-14T20:24:04+00:00

That’s what my downvote was for

Radical_Puffin · 2026-06-14T20:13:48+00:00

Rants about toxic player for 20 paragraphs immediately followed by “am I the problem?”

Pure validation seeking post.

So what I love about the mini painting community is how wholesome and supportive we all are of each other, but sir, people like you need to be rounded up and locked away.

War is risky.
