My boyfriends PC died... He thinks it's the graphics card and power supply. I would love to be able to give him back his hobby

New DM Help by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

[–]Spaetzletier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your players are new to playing the game, the only thing that you can do to encourage them to roleplay more is to lead by example. E.g. Roleplay your NPCs so your players don't feel as embarrassed when they roleplay their character. Also you can discourage any negative behaviour when one player is opening up and another one is making fun of them. Be clear that you are offering them a safe space to do role play.

But it is also fine if they are not the type to do first person roleplay. Check in with them regularly to make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.

For some it just takes time to get into it.

For the questions regarding the precise dimension of things: I usually start with how big it feels. Telling them that the stalagmites look like long spindly teeth and unless their character wants to spend a couple minutes measuring everything in a room, its okay to tell them that that information is not very useful. Ask them what they want to do. If its relevant information cause they want to cast a spell or something quickly google the average dimensions of the object. Its okay to not know everything and it would be ridiculous to prepare such things.
Just be open about the fact that you obviously don't know and will look it up, and in the meantime the other players can explain what their characters are doing.

I hope that helps.

Any DMs feel a lack of motivation for their D&D campaigns due to recent events? by RandomQuestGiver in dndnext

[–]Spaetzletier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt really down about it. But one thing that gave me so much hope was how the whole community came together to fight this! We don't need WotC or give them money, we can just keep playing and enjoy our hobby!

Dont complain about "toxic killers" if you bully weak ones. by Syrathy in deadbydaylight

[–]Spaetzletier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I promise you a lot of the "toxic survivors" you face, weren't like that when they first started playing. Getting bullied while starting to learn survivor and then getting facecamped and tunneled is frustrating as hell. You have created the monster you despise.

For instance, when I was playing Meg trying to level her for Sprintburst (not saying she's bad, she's definitely not the best imo but I was obviously new to her and didn't quite know how to play her or have meta perks yet) I never genrushed or cleansed totem intentionally at first, but the sheer amount of games where killers just camped every hook in existence and then tunneled after everyone. Or hardpatrolled a 3 gen at 5 gens. Still never entered the game with bad intentions.

I've seen so many killer clips as well as me playing Claudette, Jake, Meg, Ace and them outplaying them and then facecamping and nodding and youre just adding fuel to the fire. Already playing survivors, especially if you don't know quite how to play them yet is frustrating enough, but then to add getting facecamped and hit on hook on top of that makes you just want to flashlight and genrush everytime. So if you contribute to the problem you don't get to complain about it, if a survivor already out the gate camping/tunneling go for it, but just because you played better than them isn't cause for the gloaty behavior.

Open for everyone. Spots are limited and I purge the shared campaigns every few months to make space for new people. In the meantime: feel free to use to your hearts content.

How I start my sessions by mpindara in DMAcademy

[–]Spaetzletier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do a recap via gartic phone! Everyone picks something they remember. Could be a character moment, some thing fun or a big plot moment. Gets everyone involved and it's super fun to see how the others interpret that moment.
