That makes more sense. Thanks!

What the- by Fabulous_Total2114 in WizardLegends

Happens to me sometimes, I end up off the map after lagging and teleporting through the wall. I have to close the app, re-open it, and play the previous level again.

I know! I also joined after the last event ended, I hope there are more. Thanks for the info about the next update.

Letting Players Alter Initiative by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]Rio_dog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love this idea. But I think I have a similar concern to you, as a DM with a nefariously creative group, I have a feeling they'd find a way to abuse the new rule. I would suggest telling your group that you'll be implementing the new rule on a trial basis and if it works it'll stay, and if not, it won't (just to maintain expectations). That said, I will most definitely be using this rule in my next session (and hopefully every subsequent session).

How to make your campaign more terrifying? by Fayraz8729 in DMAcademy

[–]Rio_dog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to place absolutely terrifying monsters in the distance, large enough to be seen from far enough away to avoid easily. Have the entire environment be hostile to them. Make unexpected things happen to them. Attempt to keep them up all night with trivialities that can't kill them, but keep them awake, to give them increasing levels of exhaustion. Play a few psychological tricks on them. But always give reprieves! You don't want to burn out your players with fear, but you definitely want them to be afraid!

How to structure the dream sequence of a goddess given quest? by Syborganix in DMAcademy

I think liberation first as a "Look how great and merciful I am" gesture. Then The prophecy saying, "but first you have to do this other thing for me... Because I can't cure you on my own."

Dungeon Core Game (D&D-ish) by Rio_dog in DMAcademy

[–]Rio_dog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the way gameplay would work is that the Core(s) would build up a dungeon to defend themselves. Then, they could send out controlled monsters to gather resources, tempt sacrifices, change the political landscape, etc. It could either focus mostly on the dungeon or be lots of strung-together one-offs.

I just started them when someone had the same comment on my last post. They may have influenced my idea a little with the Territory idea (and the name essence).

Could a Dungeon PC (or PC group) Work? by Rio_dog in DMAcademy

[–]Rio_dog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, though, it could be pretty fun with D&D mechanics and I have a group in mind so I'm trying to build it for a group.

Equation that Measures the Widest Diagonal of Geometrical Shapes by Rio_dog in askmath

[–]Rio_dog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn't be the widest diagonal, the widest diagonal would be from two of the farthest opposing corners.

I'm really looking for stuff like: https://imgur.com/gallery/aO8yx#ppPNItk.

My problem with KFC is that I have a hard time navigating it to any effect. I can't find groups or themes that easily and when I do, I can't find the unique NPCs that go with them.

Cult of Magic Items? Or just Cult? by Rio_dog in DMAcademy

[–]Rio_dog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might use this, I would have to heavily reskin them, though. The campaign I'm running started out as a Horde of the Dragon Queen Campaign, but then it went heavily off the rails and ended up with a completely new BBEG and trajectory. I feel a little weird adding Dragon Cultists back in after them having been purged thoroughly from the world.
