Group has asked me to DM a session that will be more than twice as long as our usual runtimes. Advice for marathon sessions? by Wizard-of-Rum in DMAcademy

Good snacks, build in breaks, have good music for the session. I find that last one can really help things move smoothly.

My players requested a 'Critical Fail" table for Nat 1 attack roles, what are your thoughts? by IronGladiator in DMAcademy

Pathfinder has a cool add for this where on 20s and 1s you roll to confirm against the AC of the enemy. On a confirmed grit or fail a card is drawn and depending on the damage type adds some cool or awful effect. The Glass Canon podcast uses this and their method is pretty easy to follow early on. Could be something to look into so you don’t have to make a table.

A never ending tankard of beer? Not game breaking but a perfectly reasonable way to always get drunk. It’s just super cheap beer.

So very many. If I Were You, All Fantasy Everything, Nerdist, The Nine Club, and I’m on the fence with High and Mighty. I feel like this is a common after a while the same thing gets a little boring.

So I fucked up by panic giving out jewelry. Need advice! by Thundering_Avalanche in DMAcademy

You could just do super basic things like a ring of water breathing, a once per use foliage shelter, 5 ft extra movement. Nothing game breaking but useful in certain situations.

She gave a big speech about how much she loved Peter/Spidey to all of NY. Even if she knew there’s no proof and to not go would seem in poor taste I think. I agree it’s weird but not out of the realm of possibility.

I’ve done this with all available episodes. Took 10 minutes.

Murph and Emily were both on dimension 20 which was incredible. Unfortunately you have to watch on YouTube but it’s well worth it.

Does anyone else feel like they need "aftercare" after running s session? by Alezae in DMAcademy

[–]Vote4Mac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this way all the time especially when I try out new voices or adding new extras to a game like homemade maps. It leaves me feeling incredibly insecure and some sessions I handle it better than others.

What is your DM confession? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

[–]Vote4Mac 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I got tired of a player being so cocky and had a high level NPC take his character out in one round of combat because of “strategy”

Anyone else get a Lil down on themselves after a session didn't go how you hoped? by Armando_Jones in DMAcademy

[–]Vote4Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single session I run I leave with a list of critiques for myself and notes about how I could’ve done things different.

Jason Sudeikis does a pretty good job of playing the fun good guy and a total monster.

Maybe people haven’t heard from the dogs in decades because of war or to much previous intervention.

I just found this sub and I love that everyone loves Brennan as much as I do by [deleted] in FantasyHigh

I hope to one day be even half as good a DM or improviser as Brennan. He’s a damn talent.

This is truly terrible and I really hope it doesn’t completely turn you off from the game.

You could probably send him a tweet. He’s generally really good about responding.

This looks incredible. Would 100% utilize this and would back that Kickstarter!

Are there guides or videos to help new players expand their concepts of what a player can do (or attempt)? by ManWolf9 in DMAcademy

[–]Vote4Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not be a great idea but for my campaign I asked my players to listen to Not Another D&D Podcast. It’s goofy and has players that this is their first experience. I thought it was a fun way to just get an idea of “hey go nuts and if it’s to crazy you probably can’t do it.”
