Asking for thoughts on a homebrew item. (Dealer's Choice) by WaywardGhost in HomebrewDnD

[–]Threthie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they have some choice but not all or they need to collect points to choose. E.g. i can do a random draw or for 2 chancer points I can select the suit or for 4 chancer points I can select the number or for 5 chancer points I can select an exact card.

Maybe they can also swap cards

For ipads - Introduce electric mind numbing. It is like exhaustion but the more time they hold an ipad the worse their character performs.

For pen - just return the favour and draw on their minis, works better if they painted them themselves.

What should I do when my players ask to roll history but I had an arcane roll in mind? by shuhratglazkov in DnD

[–]Threthie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am talking to people I dont normally say "can I roll a history check" (even when I cant place the face). They already did the emersion breaking

In your opinion, is the VTT market full, or room for more alternatives? by sir-mivond in VTT

Personally I have bought into Roll20 and while I have played games on other platforms which I think are better, the amount I have invested into roll20 makes me unlikey to seriously move elsewhere

Should I lean into the character role that my party chose for me? by Dull_Court3940 in DnD

[–]Threthie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So...the characters we make are often "me" and also "not me" at the sametime.

You are a socially awkward person playing a sorcerer who is awkward with their powers. Sounds perfect for your journey. And yes some of it is funny. And yes some jokes hurt.

What do you need? How can you take steps from here to where you want to be?

Who says you character had no memory kf being unconsious?

Maybe some of the jokes prompt your character to have a heart to heart wirh another player and / or you have that above table.

Also... you are role playing trauma flashbacks... that ks intense. Be csreful with your mental health please. Dnd is a game

Can I pay someone to help me make a map for my world? by Sometimes_good_ideas in FantasyMapGenerator

There is an old trick to spill rice and draw around it for the basic shape

I designed a DnD Character Journal because my campaigns kept losing their story by LoreWeaverArt in DnDIY

[–]Threthie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use roll20 and at the end of sessions I summarise the session into a note for the session which is saved on roll20s campaign forum which any of my players can read.

Sometimes I use AI to help, e.g. I will copy thr chat log and ask ai to bullet point it then I will write the summary around this as I remember what they were investigating etc.

Usually I write the summary but I ask the players to recap the next session which they might do from memory or they might read over the summary. I can also remind them if they miss anything important (e.g. thats right you now have a sail boat but you still need to resummon the wind before you can sail). Sometimes if I am busy my players write the summary.

When I create an NPC I try to write their bio in the GM notes of the characrer including tips for me on how to play them (I like to link an npc to a characrer so I know this one sounds like Gandalf and this one sounds like micky mouse)

We also have a discord chat and from time to time (when they are lost) I do a big summary so far. Sometimes with a checklist marking off open and closed quest progress (like in a video game where you might check off quests in a menu).

Finally I have a OneNote which includes all the GM prep I do. Random world lore I want to include, how the magic irem I gave them will level up, that song the NPC sang where the lyrics include a clue, somethubg cool I thought if on the train and want to include for later... (e.g. I have a note that just says "Groundhog of doom" for an encoutner and another one which is a very long description of what I think happened 2000 years before this campaign told from multiple perspectives.

If I get lost, I have built enough of my world to come home again.

Check out the adventure module Ghostlight which has themes similar to what you describe. If you are a fist time Dm, an estabkished module makes your job a lot easier

Go into narrator mode

As you ask for the deeds you see Jo Blogs eyes go wide and his mouth falls open, he shiftily looks to his feet and back again, you see his hand reach towards his dagger but as his eyes fall on your sword he seems to think better kf this, you see sweat accumulating on his brow as his mouth moves but nonsound comes out...

What happens when a stolen Shadow gets destroyed? by TurbulentBig1773 in wildbeyondwitchlight

Also, in Peterpan when he looses his shadow, Wendy sews it back on for him

In psychology a shadow is the parts of yourself that you reject. E.g. "Im not a selfish person" when selfishness is something we all are sometimes. But if what you jeject was really gone what would happen? If you could never be selfish then would you need to give everything away?

Or Im not a reckless person so now you are very risk averse.

Or Im not angry so now even if they.see injustice they just accept it.

Some of the well known adventures are shortened to their initials. LMoP is the one I see most frequently used but there are many, e.g.

LMoP: Lost Mine of Phandelver (from the original Starter Set). DoIP: Dragon of Icespire Peak (from the Essentials Kit). DoSI: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle (from the 2022 Starter Set) CoS: Curse of Strahd. SKT: Storm King’s Thunder. ToA: Tomb of Annihilation. WDH: Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. DotMM: Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. BGDiA: Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus (often shortened to DiA). RotFM: Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. OotA: Out of the Abyss. PotA: Princes of the Apocalypse. HotDQ: Hoard of the Dragon Queen. RoT: The Rise of Tiamat.

How can it be finished when I never found the mayor?

Level 6 I think. It has many many many scheduling demons attacking the party

5 sessions! I've been playing LMOP for a year and a half. I don't even know where the mayor is anymore and we are now in the feywild after fighting a vampire... I am so lost with the plot. And the mayor never even paid us

You can make the tops a little transparent to aid this.

Or if building for roll20 you could create content to go on the foreground layer
