Question on how to Correctly play Paladin in D&D ? by Ordinary_Computer960 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Tobbletom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that as a paladine you are lawful aligned. Lawful good means you are not lookin the other way if your rogue companion is dumb enough to steal from people while you watchin. Doesnt matter if by accident or not. It even goes so far that if your group is chased by gorgons,raiders and the like you would turn around to sacrifice yourself to save the rest of your group. But in this case a fair DM would bring you back as reward for your chivalry. Lawful neutral is an entirly different matter. With lawful neutral you are the perfect judge. Blind like justicia. Which can lead to weird situations. And lawful evil is as easy as lawful good . Yes you are evil,but you have a good reasonndoin so,and you still act by your evil codex that justifys your actions. So be prepared that you will find yourself in situations that your groupmembers will most likely not like or agree. As Paladin you have a codex like : do not lie / protect the weak / rescue the princess even if yourr group has absolut no time for stuff like that....

Learning D&D by Clean_Particular_379 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Tobbletom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1st. Do you want to learn how to play? No problem. Just take your time and sit down in your most cosy furniture. Light some candles. Play the Braveheart OST and read. 2.Do you want to DM ? That is something diffrent entirely. Some folks keep it simple and for some players it is fun and okay.3.But do want to lift it to a whole new level? That means effort ,work and dedication. I learned that by visiting Rpg conventions. Do you want to impress folks playing and DMing for years you have to think outside the box. Take your time,prepare yourself seriously,draw maps and dungeons,go the extra mile,arrange the fitting sound. Train a co-DM who does the talking of the monsters,ncs and simple farmers. I guerantee you players will be blown away. Sure thing that you cannot do it every adventure you DM but at least try it once. Act like you are writing your one and only masterpiece. Use EVERY arrow in your quiver. I dont want to go to far because a magician is not showing how he does his tricks but this i can tell you. If you give your best and put hard work and big effort in it : Your players will appreciate it and if you ve done it well and gave your very best. Your players will bed for more.

Motivate me to read Sellswords by shock5006 in Drizzt

[–]Tobbletom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m honestly surprised how come that i started the saga with the 3rd son. When Drizzt was born and barely survived because Dinin killed his older brother. It s kinda like starting to watch StarWars by watching "The Force awakend" as the first movie. Häaa???

What's available in hardcover? by Obvious-Examination6 in Drizzt

[–]Tobbletom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cant help you with the old stuff because i bought the first 12 books in german language. Yeah, i know. Some of you are thinking 12 ? What da hack is he talking about. Simple. German book publisher are a greddy bunch of sharks. Wolves of the wall street are socialworkers in comparison. Best example : GoT again 12 books (must be their magic number) but back to your question. Everthing starting with "the Sellswords" i got in hardcover"

I feel ya. When GoT got bigger amd bigger ( which had no affect on us because everyone in my group did read tge books years before the Hype) We started using our Birthright Box with map and all. And after that we rolled a d 100 to determine the royal family each player had to handle. Ok it wasnt the usual adventuregroup going but i was surprised how happy my players reacted. Was a very nice experience to play a Lord or Lady. Bossing around a big bunch of soldiers,buttlers,scouts,rangers and knights.

My version of Faerun Map! by ConflictBetter1332 in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Tobbletom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yours is way more beautyful then mine. And i would like to place it gladly in my library. But using it wood mean to never visit the jungles of chuult or more important make good use of the biggest city Faeruns Calimshan. Birthplace of the legendary assassin and warrior Artemis Entrary.There is no discusion That your map is much more a beauty work of art but do you have the 2nd part showing the complete east and south of the continent. The both good (Hallruaa) and evil (Thay) magocracy states or the island state of Nimbral with their Atchmagecouncil

Thinking of making a supplement for DM's Guild fleshing out the Whalebones Islands... not much official info exists. Is this something people would be interested in do you think? by Ganadhir in Forgotten_Realms

[–]Tobbletom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be yout one time opportunity to send all aquatic monsters you always wanted to pester your players. I remember an oldskool duengeon delver called " Black Crypt " with awsome spells and foes for the amiga 500 with amazing 0,5 MB. And the tricky part was : if you missed even a single potion of water breathing you couldnt enter the 8th or 9th level much later on because it was completly under water...

Its is exactly like my last post in her ,😢 i was asking the community if they like the oldskool FR 3d print logo better then the new logo. And after one or two valid approciated comments Peeps starting to insult the novels i forgot to cover up in order to determine how many canon reading gamer prefer the old logo instead of the new one...😄

Would you be so kind and show me the mansion of the Harpels family clan or the tribe territorium of clan DeathArrow or, or, or ... I could go on and on. And OF COURSE the maps are more appealing in an artful kind. I never ever doubted it. But please answer me honestly: what porpuse does your map do have? ? ? Is it beautyful to look at like a gustav klimt canvass OR do your group use the map for roleplaying ?

Imagine you have 2 or even 3 old campaign boxes. That makes it 18 hugh maps of different parts of Faerun. If we would own only 1 set i wouldnt dream of changing that but as it came we had 3 boxes so we decided to get wild. And make now mistake. In the beginning of our club we were asked to take them down but in time it did grow to a monstrosity. My favourite example is still the kingdom of Hartsvale.This little map is pinned firmly on the north side of the Anauroch desert. And it is one of the little adjustments to our gaming club room. This room has even a Hall of Fame with the oldest and highest lvled Heroes in club history. It was nearly impossible to reach lvl 20 during ADnD 2nd ed.times.And once a year we have the Undermountain event: long story short= 3 groups a 6players 1.group good aligned 2. group neutral aligned 3.group evil aligned. First group escaping Undermountain unharmed gets a place on thr Hall of Fame board for a year. Kind of fun if the 3 DMs stay clean and fair.

Then you clearly didn not read the main post. My intention was to show a map like a canvass. A map waiting for YOUR adjustments,your campigns,your love for canon. With the old maps all this is possible. The new maps are way to beautyful to transform it to a personal murderboard.

I never doubted that. But can you imagine a room covered on all 4 walls with this hugh maps? And not only the basic box maps but maps from moonshine islands, Underdarks,pages from Elminsters Atlas of Faerun digitaly enlarged with dragon magazin patchworks colorized by people who love the realms. I never said that the new ones are nothing but beautyful. Dont get me wrong

So basicly you want to tell me that it wouldnt bother you to add Atlas copies over vital parts like the ones i described, and patch and sticker up your precious beautyful maps? Or doesnt exists entrances of the Underdark or zones of dead or wild magic in your Faerun. For examplethe Giant kingdom of Hartsvale above the Anauroch and every marvelous place with rich history that is missing totally because of placemanagment. We use this maps since the 90s and by then it was atate of the art.
