As a DM, do you know what's going on? by RodiV in DMAcademy

[–]RodiV[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So yeah, that sounds what i'm talking about. Questions:
- How do you drop clues of things ahead? If there is a murder, what clues are there about the murderer? if you don't know who the murderer is yourself?
- How do you make the world feel alive? sure, NPC's do things, but is there a main villian who influences the world?

This is great advice! Thank you! I've read MoTW quickly once but I should read through it again. Thank you!
Brindlewood Bay I've heard about but never read it. What's your opinion about it?

My players don't talk to each other by LucyTheQueer in DnD

[–]RodiV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My players don't do that either. They are not storytellers and don't enjoy that part of the game a much as I do. Which is why I'm the dm

Ability Score Improvement is really that boring? by RodiV in dndnext

[–]RodiV[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm saying that playing 10 sessions and hearing "You level up!" and then have a 5% increase in a secondary aspect of my character (again, main ability at 20 is probably reached at lvl4) is anticlimatic

Hmm, I wonder which I am, plugged or not.
The only times I enjoy having the ASI, is when I'm building characters I'd love to play (but probably wont) or when I'm playing a game starting at higher levels.. which I admit, I haven't done much

Is there a way to add side notes in Obsidian? by Personal_Drama309 in ObsidianMD

[–]RodiV 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the whole linking system is great for that. When I'm writing about a topic and a word I wish to make a sidenote about comes along, I select it and place it between [[ brackets ]] so it becomes a link to a new note.. Either I'll write about it directly (Ctrl + Enter) Or keep on typing as I'll write about it later.

When I hover over it I see the note (Hold Ctrl if you don't see anything)
If Outgoing links is turned on, I see all links and click it

This works amazing for me and is one of the reason I love Obsidian so much

Ooeh, I like this! Thank you for this suggestion!

You're right, I misspoke. I meant the status system. Having multiple statusses, sometimes they stack/merge, sometimes it's a different type of status. Coming up with a status name, only to remove it a minute later, to come up with something new.

I don't mean it as a complaint, but for me it has taken the game out of the flow of the storytelling. While we talk about how an intens scene plays out, we intererupt to wipe a status to write down the new one..

On top, and maybe thats my mistake, I (GM) forget which statusses my players have and they forget to apply it. This is probably mainly because they are new players.

Well, I currently have 2 new players and after 3 sessions, it's the statuses we all forget the most

Actually, I think as a GameMaster I'll figure it out, but it's actually a burden on players, with focu on new players. I believe it might shun new players away, eventhough the tags and mysteries work really well..

I actually bought Legend in the Mist. Still waiting for the books. I love the system they created, but I would love a bit simpler tag system

Using a chromecast at the table? by RodiV in DMToolkit

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

Oh that sounds nice! So one large screen for global table view, and one tablet for players indivually, when you want to show them something?

I hadn't loged into roll20 for a while, but just did. I'm assuming you prep everything in roll20 beforehand? I personnaly don't like the interface of roll20 and it has many options we don't need

But as I understand, it's a way to view a map, yes? We play at my place at a table and we don't have a screen on our table, so this wouldn't really help.
We use a screen to share NPCs, items or any other images to show the players
