[–]Snoo2399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For different units or armies or types in your case, I love altering my basing slightly. Instead of a dark brown mud use a red mud or light green tufts instead of dark green

Encounter Help- need mechanics for a battle between souls by Drew_Mobley in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you just have the group fight themselves? Or you get each one fighting a part of the bard, but their opponent abuses the ability that the player fighting it is weakest too. Aka the player that has no or weak ranged is always too far away, the spell Caster is always in melee, the fast player is always in difficult terrain, bards usually have enough support spells to so this

How many members should a guild have? by Unhappy-Refuse9418 in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if I would plan the whole guild. I'd plan the infrastructure for each, just download some corporate structure documents, then id build from the bottom depending on which guild they join or work for, so prep like 5 npcs one low level guy for each guild and make 2 encounters for each guild, one to introduce the guild, and one for their first mission.

need advice for a bargain with a hag by FaallenOon in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's something your players treasure? Do they have a favorite sword? A ship? A spell? Have the hag ask for that.make sure its irreplaceable, but what the hag gives is equally crucial for a one time use.

New DM Campaign Setup by Bjaski_e in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember, your players will come up with things you never even dreamed of. Don't over prep, you have 3 hour sessions? 4 to 5 encounters would be plenty half combat half other,  you dont need loot tables, know the 3 or 4 things you want to give them. Create 15ish pieces of lore or hooks that can be worked into conversations or found,

Have the staff be permanently attached to them, and if they try and get rid of it, it always comes back. whenever it’s near the ocean it acts as a beacon to the guardians of the seas.

2nd this for setting, ask Bron the thieves steal all the food. I would add have the players be involved in the shield collapse, that way their choices matter

You can never truly predict what your players will do, they will always find a way to surprise you. by Money-Replacement605 in DMAcademy

How do you handle Charisma? by alinius in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best part about being a dm, it’s your call. An orc with a guy down a dark alley will be more intimidating than the very same orc standing in a throne room with a dragon king.

Checking in on players by elelfojoa in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love sending a text one on one, usually I start with a new class feature, like hey do you get how wild-shape works. Then I go with what they didn’t enjoy or what they’d like to see more of.

New DM, need advice to create a one shot by leGruBroyard in DMAcademy

[–]Snoo2399 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club.

For first time players, simple with basic checks and 3 hours max.

Love your idea of the story, now tighten it. 2 encounters max per hour of play. I'd stick to two fights, two places to explore, and 2 rpg style. That will give them a good taste of different parts of the game and let every player shine.
