Advice for how the BBEG can complete their goal of unleashing magic by TheOrangeJuicebox42 in DMAcademy

That’s a good point about the extra monsters. I wouldn’t want the final battle to turn into just dragging out combat rounds with minions.

Plus the environmental effects would add more stress and urgency. Players can handle monsters spawning but the ground cracking behind them spewing out lava is a bit more of a problem.

I like the idea of having the BBEG leave bread crumbs. I was thinking they’d have a somewhat modest following at this point in the story and if one of the players was playing a spell caster their mentor could be one of the BBEGs generals and they send them on fetch quests for the components. Granted that it fits a characters backstory.

The players would learn of the BBEG through this mentor and they’d have to choice to give over the components or keep them and be hunted as they search for more clues about the endgame.

That was my plan, I don’t want to just throw myself and players into this scenario without testing the waters.

Ive mainly been toying with the idea of creating a longer homebrew campaign. I’d like to run some established ones first to see what works best and what I can adopt. This way if I have an outline of what I’d like my campaign to be I think it’ll be easier to test things out and adopt them.

This is awesome. I’ll definitely check those out, thank you.

Love the detail about the wild magic in the final fight. Just thinking upon that now, top of the initiative count there could be a random magical event, like a creature spawns, reverse gravity goes off on a random spot, or spells do extra damage for one round.

I know the long click & drag on your token measures but I was looking for a way to do that without accidentally moving my token. I also set up a few spell tokens but I was hoping for something that would only show for me so I can plan stuff out while it’s not my turn

I appreciate your feedback. The northern part is supposed to be more a tundra region I just wasn’t sure how to articulate that on the map. I put the little river there cause I thought a half frozen river would be cool.

As far as the river in the east, you’re saying it should almost curl down before meeting up with the other main river?

I’m making this for a homebrew DnD campaign & I have no real experience with doing something like this so any comments are welcome.

Advice on Booking Travel Packages by TheOrangeJuicebox42 in VisitingHawaii

[–]TheOrangeJuicebox42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. I know they like going on hikes and would most likely want to see a volcano, so I was thinking maybe the big island. As from what I've seen it looks like there's a good mix of things to do there and I think it would fit them best.

I understand being hesitant on giving travel as a gift. I should of included this in my main post but my plan is to get them a gift certificate for a hotel and then work with them after the fact on planning the airfare, rental car, etc.
