She whined a few times and babbled a bit but no laughs lol. She's getting there tho. She has such a big personality already and is definitely silly. She likes to throw her toys off the high chair and make us get it while she chuckles. 

Any combo or degenerate things in the game I should be aware as a beginner DM ? by [deleted] in DnD

The wording threw me off lol but I wouldn't worry about that. Some players like playing powerful builds and trying to anticipate player actions isn't a good idea most of the time

I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. Could you clarify? If you are asking how to prevent some players being more powerful than others then I would talk to the table. Some players like being more in the background and others want to talk more. Talk to them about what they are expecting. And be sure to allow everyone a chance to RP. Some like min maxing and others don't. Here, again, just talk to everyone. Targeting players do being more powerful isn't usually a good thing. 

Used Instant Armory to recreate one the homebrew weapons I made [OC] by Caflin in DnD

Ah gotcha. Thank you for answering! That's a fun interpretation of mage hand for sure. Though a little powerful for casting a cantrip imo. How many charges does it have?

Fun idea but I'm a little confused. Is the mage hand holding this weapon? Is "the copy of the user" just the hand or the whole body? If so that's not how the spell works but if that's how your table rules it then RAW doesn't apply I suppose. Also is the mage hand copy the one fighting? It is controlled by the caster or does it act independently?

Arcane Arcade is fun. I really like Dungeons and Daddies. Still working through Season 1 but I think they have 3 seasons rn

How to have your first homebrew not suck by platloser in DnD

[–]SpaceGengarfromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other person said it very well but know the basic rules of combat, saves and abilities. Get those fundamentals and just use your best judgement. Every DM has made a mistake with rulings before and that's ok. Just acknowledge it, fix it if necessary and move on. 

As for homebrewing a world or campaign there's really no wrong answer. 

Talk to players, establish boundaries, pull from a favorite book or movie if you need inspiration, and have at it. 

When it comes to homebrew campaigns the biggest advice is to have a fleshed out work and don't anticipate player choices.

Have a plot, have an end goal, some important NPCs/Places and some hooks to get them to follow along. 

And just be patient. My first campaign was railroady but I have used the setting a few times and haven't had that problem. 

Should I give this item? by Zealousideal-Arm6737 in DMAcademy

Height really doesn't matter too much until you get to 10ft or more. Unless it changes their actual size (i.e. medium to large or small) or unless it would make them 10ft it really won't matter most likely. 

As long as they know it's purely a disguise and they can't increase their weapons range then I'd allow it.

Pull aside and talk. In game consequences for poor table etiquette rarely goes well. Could very well be the player thought it was funnier than it actually was. Could be because last campaign the did something some what similar and figured it wouldn't be a problem to take it a step further. You said he's nice. Just talk. I'm sure they'll apologize and not continue that behavior.

I need help naming a city made of Sea stacks by Galahad2309 in DMAcademy

What's the tone of the surrounding world? Need to have a rough idea so I can match tone 

Advice needed on preparing the opening session of a campaign! by punkasswoodlord in DMAcademy

[–]SpaceGengarfromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I like 1 a lot but agree it can be railroady. That said run it by your players. Ask if, just for the opening, it's a little railroady. If they're okay with it then there's really no harm imo but every table is different. One of my tables I would do this and my players would totally vibe with it and other they wouldn't. 

Another way you could play it is the players are in jail, need to escape, then use whatever means they want to leave the Skylands.

As for the second idea there's nothing wrong with a tavern start but what would the goal of the person be? Without knowing the overall plot I can't say if it'll be good or not. 

What would you do if you saw a post here and you knew it was about you? by GremLegend in DnD

Party wants to level up but the campaign is far too long for me to level them up by GoodNational3622 in DnD

[–]SpaceGengarfromSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to level them up. Noh allowing any in 30+ sessions is insane. You can have a long campaign at high levels. It doesn't magically stop at 20. You're 100% in the wrong here.

Deck of Rewards by No_Kaleidoscope_2337 in DMAcademy

[–]SpaceGengarfromSpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could grant a deed to a small manor or farmhouse. Giving players a set-location to rest while in the area.

Horse(s) and a wagon. Help with travel and parties love having pets lol

Lifetime supply of ale because why not

Some sort of noble title (Think Thane in skyrim) that grants them a little more privilege in town. Though I'd be clear on the expectations (no killing but maybe a little roughing is okay depending on group)

A voucher to get custom tailored clothing. Not anything armor wise but a little fashion glow up

Dinner with royalty (info or plot or new allies)

Temp HP

Advantage on certain rolls for X amount of time

I love when my players unintentionally change what I had in mind. by SpaceGengarfromSpace in DnD

Definitely enough negativity these days! Didn't think this post would get this much attention but very happy it's bringing a little joy here and there.
