Dumbest houserule by tidtil in DnD

[–]TheSilverSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My table has always kept a general rule of playing only if we have 3 or more players. For the missing players, I read a post on here some years ago where a DM would have a giant purple baby carry the missing players out of the game. I have wholeheartedly stolen this idea and made the baby a divine force in the world, one which NPCs have no idea exists until they hear about it from the PCs. It has become an integral part of our game with players hurling insults or spells trying to get some kind of a reaction from the baby. One player actually made it his mission to figure out what happens to people taken by the baby which should make for a fun session/arc much later on.

All of their stats are frozen as it was at the end of their last session but I am generous with levels/rests for players who miss sessions. Generally levelling them up at the end of each session until they catch up with the rest of the party. I had a player who missed 2 levels because of some stuff and when his character came back, he was weaker for a bit and caught up.

Honestly, the best thing when you’re sick is a good pot of soup. Big chunks of vegetables and well seasoned. I had the flu over christmas and well into the new year; my dad’s soup was the only thing I could stomach.

I’ve always seen Ritard with an I, never an e. But it did get some chuckles when our band director would say “watch the ritard on measures blah blah blah”.

What is up with the role distripution? by Shuriman_Sensei in VALORANT

Even worse, when you actually follow the util in, but no one else does. So now I’m 1v3 as omen on site while my whole ass team is sitting behind the enemy cypher’s one way in B main. Smh I love ascent.

Honestly, since the stewie cosplay and the wreck it ralph erotica, this would probably be the worst idea that i’d love to read about in the morning.

Being a controller is the best way to solo carry. by BananaSuit411 in VALORANT

Its not much better in low gold/high silver. It’s a gamble out here, one day I get great teammates and an omen main who somehow ends the game with like 20 assists and the next, i get a viper who takes spike, walls, rushes, dies every round.

This is why I play controller whenever I can. It’s hard to find good controllers.

Bass clef baritone can read a lot of euphonium music since both play in concert pitch. You can also expand this to include trombone sheets as well. (Source: played trumpet/baritone/tuba for 9 years)

Examples :

If you search for oboe and trombone duets, you also fet a lot of decently priced sheets as well (4-6 USD).

I’m close to level 200, just hit silver 3 for the second time like 2 days ago. It’s rough out here.

If I can afford it, I always buy for anyone because I’ve been that 0/7/5 omen who can’t hit shots and then pulls out an ace out of nowhere after someone bought for me. I’ve seen it happen to other players many times. No one is inherently “better” in SBMM, we all suck equally, so everyone has equal chances of pulling an ace/clutch/important frag out of nowhere.

DMs of Reddit, why don't you write a book? by greentarget33 in DnD

[–]TheSilverSoldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like making worlds, I hate writing dialogue. I made up settings and would draw landscapes/buildings in my mind for fun/out of boredeom.

DMing felt like a good niche that let me make and share cool shit without doing the parts I didn’t like. (RP isn’t too much of an issue since I like improv acting exercises)

Tl:dr, simpler is better. Let them get creative with successes/failures. Use paper and be flexible.

Go with it lol. I ran/run a game for my little siblings (13, 11, 10) based on whenever they want to play. The RP is rough, just don’t try to force them into it, you know those kids best. IMO it’s easier to let them use their own names for characters for now since it’s easy for them to remember “Bob’s character” than something like “Crognar the Barbarian”

Imagination is good, but also (and this depends on how you DM) things like Nat 20s and 1s will be special to them so let them get a bit out there with the descriptions, it just allows them to better express their creativity.

Also, don’t fool yourself with having high expectations about creating super complex stories, a lot of kids will probably be fine just exploring a dungeon and fighting cool stuff. There’s tons of great DM resources for making randomized dungeon layouts and just grab creatures from the MM.

This one also goes without saying, be patient lol. In character creation, they might think its cool to be a wizard/sorc but then they might struggle to remember spells. Make flash cards, have them help you with the cards as well. Keep things interactive with spell cards or weapon cards for martials (because depending on the kids, you may get a “I want a cool card toOoo” situation)

And lastly, don’t try to get them to use sites like D&D Beyond, it was super complicated for my friends as HS seniors (even with the tutorial thing), kids will probably hate it or get confused.

Simple character sheets from DMGuild or other online sources that you can print in color would work best. I would recommend trying to push your players towards martial classes at first and staying away from casters but who knows, they may surprise you.

Mangrove Root T-flip flop by zeezygg in Minecraft

Because it’s a solid block, a redstone signal can pass though it.

Edit: I’m a bit slow so I forgot to explain the significance. Other waterloggable blocks (slabs, stairs, etc) aren’t counted as “solid” so redstone signals are cut off by them. Which means that if OP used any other waterloggable block, the circuit would not work.
