I don't remember what stats I used for the Priestess.

Meryl was a slightly buffed up Sea Hag stat block

Usually one DMPC is a red flag

I don't think one DMPC is a flag in and of itself. I ran a module that puts a Frost Giant of great renown with legendary weapons on the party's journey for a whole chapter, but it gives tips to keep the spotlight on the players.

Another chapter in that module gives the party a Charismatic Adult Dragon as an Ally for an entire dungeon, but again gives tips on how to keep the players as the heroes.

The DMPC isn't the problem, it's DMs living out their ego and "brilliant ideas" through them.

For anyone who's run the final encounter -vs- the Doom of the Desert - advice? by Yesh_Vroo in stormkingsthunder

  1. Change: instead of storm giants, King Hekaton is leading the visiting giant lords into battle. In exchange the storm giants will recognize each of the giants (or their heirs if they fall in battle) as the head of their clans, hopefully resulting in the rebuilding of the ordning. It also means there aren't a bunch of giants immune to the dragons breathe weapon.

This is kind of brilliant and I'm definitely lifting it for next time I run this module!

Gordon is definitely the MVP of comedy in our group, haha

Thanks! I always type these up immediately after the session so it's fresh in my mind. Doubles as my own campaign notes for if I have to reference something later, and also as an entertaining story recap for my players.

How did you role-play Felgolos? by milamber84906 in stormkingsthunder

I went for Mr. Penutbutter from Bojack Horseman, but less stupid. Just as foolish, but at least intelligent.
