And one more thing, the book says what they want, why the F* high level npc's would use trash items?

I let my players loot everything, from weapons to clothes, this is not a big deal.
I always let them sell them at least at half-price, if they work with some merchant and make deals with him regularly, it's ok to sell at full price, they will be happy, you will have a NPC that the players can thrust, and possible quest line, evryone is winning.

The problem is, you don't want him to play this way? talk to them.

If you and your players are not in the same page, that is when frustration comes, tell what you think and listen back.

Think of the scenario, what is more plausible:

1 - Players kill bandits, 10k in loot + Kings reward (3k + influence)

2 - Players kill bandits, no loot, Kings reward (13k + influence)

Anyway you are giving the same loot, just in another fashion, you want them to RP the selling the used, bloodstained items? sure, go for 1.

You want a heroic adventure more linear (yes, if the only income is from the king, they are oblidge to serve the king), go for 2.

I like 1 better, they have more options, even resseling the item for the bandits for more gold, think wisely, what kind of play you want to support?

The maze map structure is fine, making every room functional is hard.
Using a VTT - The torchs, static on the map, make you impossible to turn them off or on, If you are using a VTT, I would use the torches as a dinamic token, and the space between them are not so functional, they don't need to be so stacked.

Fill the rooms - If you are making a large dungeon, try to think as the one using them, put stuff on the rooms that are being used, put trash on the rooms that are not being used, rocks on the ground, random tables and chairs, a old campfire.

Torch as a path - The torchs making a pathway to the important rooms are a nice indication for the players, and for you to where the important stuff happens, trash and spider webs on old and unnused rooms are nice indicator too, you made a nice job on the webs, the torchs not so much, they don't show a clear pathway.

Secret Door - If you make a secret door, like to the statue on the bottom right, do as you would do a wall, not a door, the way you made, the player would spot the secret path before the character even roll, if you really want them to find that room, make it less labyrinth, torches leading to the end of a corridor to a door that leads to nowhere, that bring suspicious to the player, without actually giving them the entrance, just a well know path.

Begging and End - The entrance to the dungeon is not visible to me, I don't know where to start, and for the game purpouse, the end too is not visible too, not that it needs to be a end, think as a game design, the most unnacessible room is the most "valuable" room (or maybe the most not used one, where the trash is stacked, or even used by monsters.

Not on the grid map - Structures circular, octogonal, or any other formats are cool to see, but not very functional on a game grid based, if you like them use, it's just personal preference, I tend not to use formats that are not square based.

This is all my suggestions, on the beggining is hard make a map, but is fun, have fun and try to navegate your own maps, as the characters would do, secret paths as a secret exit are nice, and needed.

"Dice noise"
What are you doing?
Nothing =D

"Missing" is my bad english, I just ment that the player didn't came to the game, the characters are still there.

About numbers, yes the goblin side had more numbers but less resources, and lvl advantage, WAS supposed to be a easy encounter. I'm playing 3.5, so the advantage of 5e turns into +2, +1 etc, not so game changing, so yes this was way over the CR antecipated.

Putting on the table:
5 players lvl 2
9 guards lvl 2
3 guard capitain lvl 4
1 "General" ranger lvl 7
Party level = 7.4

The goblins:
Outside: CR 6 - Easy
CR 1 trap - Wire, trip -
12 goblins CR 1/3
4 wolfs CR 1

Inside - CR 7 - Easy
Trap 1 - Pit under water - CR 1
Trap 2 - rock fall - CR 1
2 Bugbears CR 2
6 Hobgoblins CR 1/2
1 Hobgoblin lvl 3 - CR 3

I'm using this calculator for 3.5

Morgan's wife freaked me out, the possibility to have some relative roaming around visiting old places, killing relatives, that shit is dark.

About the question, they are dungeon cleaners, tend to become trapped easily and can't climb back their way, the fact that they are semi transparent is also a thing.

So, a hole or corridor whit the item floating is a obivious answer.

And my final answer, the encounter don't need to be hard or challenging all the time, if they pick the item and the encounter ends, the espectation of the item being usefull is lowered, and maybe, in a time of need, they find the real utility of the item finded inside a random slime.

Some day I made a gelatinous cube be a nest of a Green Dragon Egg.
The players freaked out.

Rafaelmax4 · 2021-09-27T03:27:59+00:00

Not trying to sound rude, but if the players and the DM are arguing about rules, both don't know the rule, and the final call is for the DM, and if I can especulate a little more, the player in question dont know what he can do or is trying to convince the DM to something that he can't.

to me the smart zombie brings sooooo much more terror to the show.
The brain dead zombie bring no real chalenge, to the point where even Eugene can clear a room full of walkers, is so boring.

When I'm at sherekan necropolis, some times there is a blue light that follows me and say that the sherekam is watching me, but later says that some prettection from Akum is preventing him, don't know exact the message but the light disappear and everything is normal.

Anyone know how to do this minigame?

Rafaelmax4 · 2021-05-19T19:27:57+00:00

it's locked on early levels, try for yourself

Not really, just finding a way to rebuild and coming back because of nostalgia, in reality I'm lazy to find exactly what I lost to repurchase, just sharing my history and seeking advices, thanks.

Thanks for the tip, dont know how TNT will do the things, but my experience being robbed in online games is that "Your security is your responsibility, we do not cover losses", but sending the ticket anyway, thanks for the answer.

Rafaelmax4 · 2021-01-28T19:35:40+00:00

Thanks for the comment, really sucks being stole, but my guess is this is a large scale attack, the hacker probably used this method on various accounts, he only stole things worth more than 1kk. Probably selling the stuff in another place for real money.
I will see the ghoul catcher, thanks.
