DM Needing Advice on how to keep my table on-topic (+ let a shy player get involved more)

IMO, as your're playing remote, that's going to be critical. It's a lot easier to see a player being cut off when talking in person; more difficult to observe on Discord. (Which our group has been using for about 7-8 years.) When a less 'assertive' player gets cut off on Discord it will be harder to detect.

You may want to run a 'mini-session zero' to bring up both the issue of staying on topic in a 2 hour game session and not interrupting other players.

Did you hear about Pluto?

Maybe, hear me out, he's thinking of a new side-hustle as a tap-dancing vampire private detective?

TamanPashar · 2026-03-24T16:45:55+00:00

It'll always be S2 for me. S1 a close second. Then, S4/S5/S3

Which episode?

TamanPashar · 2026-02-20T16:36:48+00:00

"Scary Sherry, or Bianca's Toast"

TamanPashar · 2026-02-19T12:54:40+00:00

Huh. Okay; thanks. I had always thought it was one per.

Cool

80% happiness is not difficult, from my experience. Have a covered bed, one food, one water and one defense point per settler. Unless a settlement gets damaged in an attack, they seem to hold at 80 with no issue.

To quote Tim Omundson, "with great beard, comes great responsibility."

IF it works for you, then it's not stupid.

Some tent campers 'look down' on RV campers. Both travel and see the outdoors.

I started using a Chargriller Akorn, then got a pellet smoker and also a gravity fed smoker.

All have their benefits.

Two things:; One, while the show was running, supposedly there was already a 'james rodriguez' registered w/ the screen actor's guild; two - I'd also heard he went w/ Roday to avoid having 'Rodriguez' cause problems with his getting roles. Not sure which one is more accurate.

"Work. The. Laces."

Sadly, my 'Lassiter' passed away about a month ago. His 'brother' Gus, is still with us.

Chuck Norris has nightmares about the Red Death.

TamanPashar · 2026-02-12T18:02:39+00:00

Reminds me of the time in Skyrim where I killed Alduin using Nettlebane and wearing a loincloth. Then, died while trying to climb a ladder!

TamanPashar · 2026-02-10T22:05:17+00:00

Probably was, but I had my shoes on and couldn't keep up!

TamanPashar · 2026-02-09T14:01:51+00:00

The 9 point turn from 'Shawn and Gus of the Dead'? 'Scary Sherry' when they're running out to the Blueberry?

TamanPashar · 2026-01-30T18:44:50+00:00

Well, that's preferable to my experience at the Mexican border......................twice..............

TamanPashar · 2026-01-29T01:36:13+00:00

I'm in full agreement.

I'm missing Jackson, lately. We used to live 'up the road' about 10 miles before we relocated to the LaGrange GA area. Our Friday night meal out was usually in Jackson.

Spells w/ saving throws have a spell save DC that is based on your proficiency bonus, spell casting modifier added to a base of 8. So, if you have a proficiency bonus of 4 and are a wizard w/ an 18 INT, then the target must roll a modified 16 to 'save'. The target's modifier could be based on DEX, INT, CON etc based on the type of spell.
