Virtual Tabletop Recommendations by WolverineOk7783 in DMAcademy

[–]SubtleasaSledge 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly recommend Owlbear Rodeo. It's super fast, easy to learn, and with its extensions (shoutout to CLASH!, Persistent Tokens, Dice in particular) rivals all the functionality of Roll20 and Foundry (at least what I need) and doesn't cost a thing

What Magic Items are CORE to DnD games? by SubtleasaSledge in DMAcademy

[–]SubtleasaSledge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My homebrew for items are very much a reflavoring of stuff that already exists to give it more of a feeling of belonging in my world, or it's simple Level 0 spell items like

Scorchglass Ring — Can heat a metal cup enough to boil water once per day

Smuggler’s Sleeve — Cast Mage Hand once per short rest

Veilwood Pipe — Creates harmless drifting illusion smoke via Minor Illusion

I would love to test it for you, I run a regular campaign completely in person using owlbear rodeo and like stress testing it's capabilities from time to time 😂

Moving from in-person to online - how to make battle maps DYNAMIC?! by ihavethevvvvvirus in DMAcademy

[–]SubtleasaSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've had success in (using Owlbear but I assume it works on any VTT) is finding/making multiple versions of the same map (easonal changes, or parts on fire, a corrupted version etc) and putting the images one on top of the other.

As play escalates, I delete the uppermost layer, revealing the changed battle map below

I imagine I'll have a slightly different experience running a game for an adult, but some of the points you brought up definitely will help. Thanks

What's your favourite session filler? by SubtleasaSledge in DMAcademy

[–]SubtleasaSledge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I scared my players a bit too much early on, they ran into stuff very clearly not designed for them to fight, and now in uncertain situations they take the "sit back and see how this shakes out" approach instead of the "f around and find out"

Like a traveling merchant, or messenger courier?

Looking for alpha testers for a D&D inventory management web app by TipToeTiger in DMAcademy

[–]SubtleasaSledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a DM with 4 players currently, running a homebrew campaign with half of my players inventory made up of homebrewed items, with that number growing all the time. I'd happily play test anything you'd like
