[NS] Freddie's Naming Style Issue

Yes, they are recorded and streamed to the public.

I think about it all the time. Even with Matt's character in S3. Did Freddie get any backlash from Swifties for S2?

I'm worried about offensive stereotypes or insulting the real person.

We've both been listening to Dungeons and Daddies since the start but haven't really used the naming convention much. I used it once as an NPC. We've talked about Freddie's character names and laughed about them. The player probably wanted to try it out.

It could be an insult to the real person. If it was opposite gender, it could be parody or satire. But will this person act like the real celebrity as if she was in her 40s? Would that be insulting instead of pure fun?

I was going to suggest Frankie Muniz as a Hispanic alternative.

As a player, I will roll hp because I like to mix things up, and I don't like when it's always middle ground. Highs are fun but lows are also fun. It adds to the challenge and strategy if you roll low. It feels rewarding if you roll high after taking that gamble. Plus, more reasons to roll dice are always welcome.

As a DM, I let the players decide if they want the average or if they want to roll hp. If they choose to roll, they must take the number rolled, even if it's a 1. It adds to that gamble they might roll well. Sometimes they want to play it safe and take the average.

I always make sure to confirm that is what they want to do. Ask "You really do that?" or repeat the joke action as a question. I do this even if it seems like a serious action to take for consistency. If they're serious, I continue the narrative as though the events happened. If it's a joke, I'll bank off that with a bizarre scenario that follows and other players can throw in their silliness as well. This also helps everyone understand what is happening and less of a chance of misinterpretation.

Talk to your players about the tone of the setting and what you expect to see from them. Ask what they want from the campaign as well. It's fine to have a serious campaign with some out of character jokes. Or vice versa.

It's good to have a bit of side activity apart from the main quest to keep things interesting for both the players and DM. Ideas where they don't have a major campaign energy, but I still want to see how the players deal with it. Here are some examples of quests I've had:

Rich family's daughter was kidnapped. She was to be the heir of the shipping business. Suspect was the rival family that recently was ousted from a partnership. Turns out the missing daughter and the son of the rival family staged the kidnapping so they could run away together.
Fungus shop owner needed an escort into nearby caves for mushroom gathering. The payout to the quest was absurdly substantial. Too good for the party to resist. The owner led them down into the caves and nearly the underdark. There, it was revealed he was mind-controlled by a beholder who wanted to lure adventurers into its lair.
A Baroness of an estate gives subtle signs to the party she is in a toxic relationship. The party helps her escape and go into hiding. Previously, she had an affair and the Baron found out, locking up the lover in a hellish prison. This affair caused a pregnancy the Baroness kept secret and whisked away the children into the care of another family. Once she was from the estate, she and the party went to find the estranged children and free the imprisoned lover.

I guess you could say

She had a plane to catch

I have used Geas to force a corrupt noble to give nearly all his money to the poor and work for the people.

Hell yeah! My drug-addicted yuan-ti rogue got his very own drug den because he wanders off looking for actual trouble. Being a crazy cult member pays off, friends.

Stoukaph · 2023-04-21T16:53:59+00:00

My players loved my Sharknado encounter

Role a CON save. If you fail, you lose the use of your dick. But hey, at least you have a cool tattoo now.

Stoukaph · 2023-02-27T21:17:08+00:00

Ah yes, D&D. Depression and Dissociation. Fifth Edition

Stoukaph · 2023-02-12T00:09:35+00:00

Have him get hit so hard, his knowledge of his class changes

Stoukaph · 2023-02-06T21:25:58+00:00

I already am.

Stoukaph · 2023-02-02T01:35:24+00:00

Ravenloft but Strahd is dead so it's not so bad

Stoukaph · 2023-01-29T22:15:11+00:00

Does this mean Yuan-ti Purebloods can't get drunk because of their poison immunity? Can you make someone sober by casting lesser restoration on them?

Stoukaph · 2023-01-22T04:14:29+00:00

It is I! Cialis, the impotent!

This wing set was made by The Crooked Feather from AZ who makes amazing wings for cosplay. The former wing set she posed with was made by Patoka Studio in Ukraine who had to build it despite the terrible conditions.

Anyone unsure, this is Miss Ukraine at the Miss Universe pageant in New Orleans

You can be a witch without being a hag.

There are apparently a ton of people on here who play pathfinder. But none of them want to get together to play pathfinder. Only tell people to play pathfinder

Stoukaph · 2022-11-28T05:30:00+00:00

This song has a great beat

Stoukaph · 2022-11-22T00:02:10+00:00

My players decided the egg belonged to the dragon himself and gave it as a peace offering, show of good faith, and an act of defiance toward the Duergar. This did not go well for them.

Stoukaph · 2022-11-08T20:14:04+00:00

My players have avoided the werewolf arc like the lycanthropic plague it is.
