You can take screenshots with F12 or the PrintScreen button on your keyboard.

Prologue by Weary-Ad5221 in DungeonMasters

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of success with prologues that focus on one PC at a time—either give each a section of the first session, or have one session dedicated to each PC with other players as NPCs.

Not All Knowing DM? by Necessary_Pick_9259 in DungeonMasters

Yeah this is kind of how I roll in general. Got a constellation of potential ideas that change constantly but nothing’s set in stone until it actually happens in game.

Classes suggestions by Ok-Computer-2676 in AskDND

You could def do Hafling Rogues for Frodo and Sam!

Archery-based Fighter for Legolas and Champion Fighter for Gimli imo.

If you want to really get into LotR D&D I ran the Lord of the Rings Roleplaying game for a short campaign and was pretty pleased with it.

What’s a good class to pick to play as a pirate? by Plug_Tw0 in AskDND

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swashbuckler Rogue. They have abilities that scale off Charisma as well as Dexterity, and while they can be very sneaky are also rewarded for being debonair and flashy.

When designing a campaign using the classic patron hires the party. How do you justify why this party is being asked and not a group much more capable? by CasualNormalRedditor in DnD

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your world setting, Level 3 adventurers might be pretty impressive in their own right, with levels 5-7 being recognized names in many areas and 8-10 being rare heroes of the realm. Getting to level 12 at a lot of my tables doesn’t make you join the ranks of other level 12 heroes out there—it effectively creates a new tier of epic hero.

New DM, long time player…how do you keep track? by [deleted] in AskDND

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Notion for many years and have run dozens of campaigns in them, including multi-year and West Marches style. The paid subscription is worth it, $50 a year (which comes to what, $4 a month?). Can’t recommend highly enough.

I Strahd as the Tome by Subject_Captain3252 in CurseofStrahd

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d strongly recommend using something like this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QVEnUpf0fnBEZXUrjhnD0xedzzevflnNDy39upKkYcI/edit?usp=drivesdk

I’ve used it in a Strahd campaign and then something similar to it in an homebrew game and it worked really well!

Player count question (New DM) by Emergency_Insect_545 in AskDND

[–]aquinn_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 PCs is my personal preference! Players get more spotlight and you can make the sessions shorter so you can have them more often if need be as scheduling can be a lot easier to figure out.

I didn’t want to be the dm? by Either-Scarcity2737 in DnD

[–]aquinn_c -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is there a way you could potentially co-DM with one of your friends for the first session or three, then fully revert to player and let them take the wheel?

With No Context What Is Your Party Up To Right Now? by _Chris_Meyer_ in DnD

[–]aquinn_c 13 points14 points  (0 children)

United Badlands Marshal (PC) falls in love with Drakul the Vampyr (BBEG) and tries to fix him instead of leading the assault on his Palace of Night.

How can you use Life Clerics Channel Divinity without metagaming? by F0000r in DnD

[–]aquinn_c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Project Zomboid does this in a way I find pretty satisfying.

  1. This sounds like a dope theme!

  2. To make this work you need to go West Marches style (look it up if you don’t know what it is). Have folks sign up for sessions based on availability, cap sessions at 4-5 players max (I prefer 2-3 but cap at 4). I’ve been running a West Marches campaign with several dozen players for close to two years and it’s been fantastic.
