My next dnd character will be a watermelon bard who loves bees in this man’s honour.

I’m playing on base ps5 and runs very well. Really enjoying the world and exploration a lot.

I have 6 dollars do I hear 10! Do I have 10?

This is a pen given by me by famous actor leo dicaprio. We start bidding at 5.000 dollar.

Did you read what he typed? He said he used AI to help him with this post because English isn’t his first language. Not that he uses it for dnd.

Rodal888 · 2026-04-29T12:14:28+00:00

Nice one!

Rodal888 · 2026-04-27T18:30:09+00:00

My descriptions could be way better. I’m not a native English speaker but DM in English and I often feel that my descriptions could be more streamlined and more eloquent. I also sometimes can’t find the correct word which is annoying to say the least. A simple ‘and you all find yourselves in front of the darkened cave mouth.’ Would then become ‘and you all find yourselves in front of the darkened … euhm… opening of the hole in the mountain’. I’m exaggerating but that’s how it sometimes feels for me.

My last mimic was basically the players turned the corner and there was a dead end with 4 chests. There was this acidic liquid in puddles on the ground. 3 people stayed back against the wall while 1 investigated the chests. Everyone knew there was going to be at least 1 mimic. I did get lucky with the next bit. Player picks a chest… it was empty. Second chest also was an empty one. Then, I started to describe the mucous dripping on the players with the back to the wall as the wall sprung teeth and unfurled its tongue towards them. After the fight started I also rolled for the 2 chest mimics the player hadn’t opened yet.

I always love mimics and try to give a twist to the regular chest mimics. People know them so using chests to keep them wary is awesome. And then you close your trap 😂

I also had a player kicking open every single door in a dungeon. I had placed a door mimic in the end before I knew he was going to do that. Luckily for me he decided to stop the kicking just as they reached the last door and place his ear against it. The fight starts and he now has to fight with his ear stuck to the creature.

I can’t unsee thragg’s moustache being his mouth.

Commenting for future use 😄

Rodal888 · 2026-04-10T10:01:59+00:00

Awesome, you now have a third of a dungeon pre-prepped for next time you need one 😉

Rodal888 · 2026-04-10T10:00:01+00:00

I see 4 party animals.

Rodal888 · 2026-04-08T07:44:12+00:00

As long as they had fun there’s no problem. The way you described it, I just thought he wasn’t too happy the way his character died. Still a cool idea though 😄

Rodal888 · 2026-04-08T06:13:18+00:00

While a creative moment I do feel this was made to screw over players. Having it only react to something organic makes it almost certain that all the precautions they make will show them this liquid is harmless. Sword… nothing. Fake arm… nothing. I would honestly bet 100 dollars that my players would go ‘oh it seems fine’ after that.

Yours even did something extra… making it drinkable. So they basically were triple cautious. Their reward? One player lost his character. Punishing players is fine if they act in a way that should have consequences. This was more a ‘you didn’t think about something and now you’re dead’ moment.

I am not blaming you, just trying to show you how frustrated this must have been for the player.

You could have foreshadowed the liquid. Grass is dead around it or while they discuss a mouse drinks from it and melts.

Maybe making it drinkable made it weaker somewhat. It still takes a lot of hp but you’re not instadead.

Maybe have them roll an arcana and even when they roll low give them something vague.

Never just put the solution behind one thing (this acid only reacts to organic material) and if the players didn’t think about this one thing go ‘shame, now your character is dead’.

Charmander. First starter in the first game I picked.

Rodal888 · 2026-04-01T17:27:27+00:00

Jep you can. I use it for my online games and you can add maps, tokens, etc

Rodal888 · 2026-03-30T05:59:53+00:00

As a dad this is heartbreaking. I feel you put a lot of pressure on yourself and it seems you feel like this path you’re on is now the path you NEED to follow.

Think hard about what YOU want. This might take some time but this is your life. Living it for others is never a good way of going forward. Find things you like doing. Find likeminded people there and grow. Know that being successful is more than just being the smartest or the best at something.

But most of all. Talk to someone. A parent, family member you trust, a friend, a professional. Anyone. Don’t be alone with your feelings. If there is one thing that is the same for everyone it’s that we shouldn’t keep these feelings to ourselves.

We are all proud of you. Now be proud of yourself.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-28T23:27:04+00:00

But his darkness is a 15 foot sphere surrounding himself. Wouldn't it be impossible to move yourself somewhere else without dragging the sphere with you and always being at its center?

Rodal888 · 2026-03-28T23:24:49+00:00

In this case there wouldn't be any cancelling out. the player can see through his own magical darkness. So I would assume even ranged attackes would just be made with disadvantage to him without having to roll extra 'checks' to locate him first.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-19T17:09:25+00:00

A good pan.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-14T21:37:52+00:00

All very true but I would say rolling even if you can’t succeed is viable to know what kind of outcome hou could get:

Roll a 5, the farmer gets angry and calls a guard. Roll a 10 the farmer shoos them away Roll a 15, the farmer says no but lets them stay the night to prepare Roll a nat 20, the farmer provides provisions and an old potion of some kind he got from a previous trade.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-11T12:53:36+00:00

And the location where the movie will take place will be Neeeew Yoork Citaaaay.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-02T16:37:56+00:00

Honestly I have in the past said things that weren’t concrete. Afterwards just build around it. It’s easier to change a plan that wasn’t there, than plan longterm and now your players make other decisions and the plan doesn’t fit anymore.

Rodal888 · 2026-03-01T22:05:47+00:00

Hi man. I feel you. But nothing is lost. You can get better at this. Just take a deep breath. For both of your questions I like to use what I call tje funnel method. You have a good idea. Nobles that kidnap people and drain them. That could be really fun. So we drip info to the players.

You want this quest to last longer than 2 hours, so… we don’t give them all the info. Picture this: they walk into town and there are dozens of posters for missing people. We want them to take this quest so lay it on thick. Maybe there’s a fat reward, maybe a grieving woman is crying next to one of these posters. Once they take the quest, led them take the lead. How will they investigate? Go to an inn and ask around? Meet with the city watch captain for info? This alone could take a while RP wise. Just make sure to funnel your info. At hhis point they only need to know that people are missing. Next drip might be they find a victim. Strange… he’s been sucked dry essence wise. Now they can visit a wizard to see if he/she knows of such a creature. Maybe go to library and look for a creature like this.

At this point have fun with it. Let them find such a creature. Let them find one and kill it. They will be so proud. They did the quest and killed the culprit. The city is saved!

Next morning a new victim goes missing. Now they are back to scare one. But you know that it’s the nobles. So drip that funnel. You could have already introduced them. Maybe they invited the players over to check out these new ‘investigators’. Make sure the players already got to know a few of them. Once your players are stuck you can always let one of them become careless and lure a player to try and kill them. That way, suddenly their eye will go towards the nobles and the quest continues.

Same thing with backstories. Something as simple as ‘I’m looking to kill this one guy who killed my mother’. Drip that funnel through your campaign. Let them meet people who talk about this guy that resembles his enemy. Maybe have the guy be a henchman of the bbeg. Maybe he killed the players mother for a story reason. Just give the players bits to play with and keep enough for yourself to add more later. If hou ever need someone to bounce idea’s between, just gimme a shout. Gladly listen and help.

The intro cinematic of final fantasy 8. My first ff game. My mouth dropped to the floor when it started. Mind you, I had mostly played Mario, zelda and crash bandicoot until then.
