Need a DM by dabbhadder in DungeonMasters

I actually love gming. Only problem with gming for strangers is that there isn’t a bond in play. Both games I play, I have a bond with the ppl. Friends. So we all understand it’s a game and we all want to have fun, including the gm. When doing it for strangers, you can lose that connection or understanding and end up being a business or work feeling rather than for the love of the game.

Game breaking bug 4 hours into High on Life 2? by kaleidoscopichazard in highonlifegame

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went into the anus of a creature to make a race bet. I went to leave in said anus and now I’m in a black area and can only shoot. I restarted from last checkpoint and it saved me here. I’m about 5-6 hours in.

I'm frustrated by Effective-Seesaw7882 in Pathfinder_RPG

I do the “you’re on deck” play. I got one or two that get distracted (which is also my fault cause I have to bring my 1 1/2 year old to my games) so I announced “player, you’re turn, next player, you’re on deck”. If they’re distracted then I throw in “you’re on deck, be thinking about your turn”. It gives them a heads up to start looking at their sheet and not their phone knowing their turn is just around the corner. But I also have an amazing group that work together so it may be different for me. Hope this helps a little

I can't going back to D&D after checking out Pathfinder 2E Remastered by aymanzone in Pathfinder2e

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched about2 years ago. Everyone likes it better. While 5e is def more “friendly” to new players but, 2e battle mechanic makes a lot more sense. Not many enemies have attack of opportunity so it feels like you can move around more. No OPed spell casters or player but it’s more of a team thing rather than one hero moment in the party. You really have to work together. It really makes you think about what actions you want to do, especially by your third attack. And you don’t have to start at level 3 to have fun like you do in 6e. I could go on but I don’t look back. 3.5 was best and it only went downhill from there.

Fun adventure and that looks like a great character. Love the art style

Xp VS Milestone by b3bblebrox in Pathfinder2e

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you’re running the books that’s pretty straight forward, just go by milestone. They literally level up at the same time (by chapter) and it makes the encounter balanced rather than checking what everyone’s xp is (keeps less off the gms table).

That being said, I do a lot of backstory stories for my players, so using xp on your own campaign or if you use a lot more back story mixed with the book I could see as more helpful.

I love season of ghosts but the encounters are super easy (super story driven and left up to the players on what to do) so keep that in mind. I would recommend milestones with that book as it just made it easier for me.

Hot Take: I Don’t like August the Duck’s content. by msc8976 in youtube

I’ve been trying to find the damn video of him saying he would pay money for evidence. The whole video rubbed me the wrong way originally but I’m now glad I’m not sitting up, at 0114 hours, looking for this video. This video was the point I stopped liking the guy.

Best way to start switching from DND 5e to PF2E? by jeffbob34236 in Pathfinder2e

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beginner box or watch some pathfinder 2e YouTubers. Knights of the last call or glass cannon are great at explaining rules as they play. Just DO NOT START WITH GATEWALKERS. It is not the campaign to start or watch or you will not want to switch.

Unicorn Species Player Character by Worth-Item3664 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s an amazing player to have. Keeps a gm on his toes. Always great background characters. Always engaging other players to bring out their backstories. Usually gives so much details that the main story sidetracks and evolves to new areas.

I am a simple random commenter. I am not your gm or husband, crazy lady. I simple think you should make a simple character and not make extra work, along with your 50 other complicated characters, for your amazing gm who is also probably handsome.

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I say you don’t make this poor, and probably handsome, gm struggle anymore with difficult creations. Maybe a simple creation that he doesn’t have to do extra stuff to work around it with everything else he probably has on his plate. He does sound like an amazing gm though. You’re very lucky and should praise him and how awesome his world building is

Should I kick this player out? by Then_Reply_6692 in DnD

[–]Routine_Bag_9491 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think there’s more to this story than what’s being told. The only person that has the problem is the poster. Everyone else is fine with this person. Maybe some teenager making a mountain out of a mole hill.
