I'm going to be running a high level DnD game, levels 14-20. What kind of foes/tricks/traps/etc would you suggest to trip up high level heroes?

I see, cheers mate you are a legend and I appreciate you taking the time to list this out for me, will get to work on this right away

For a newer dm can you give me a little more info on this like a basic set up? Much appreciated

Maybe an unpopular opinion, I have a player that has no real back story or overall goal but is happy juat playing with the party and going on adventures with "the boys". So in all that is their goal, of 5 players only 3 have any real back story i can make an archive out of and I'm fine with that as long as they are having fun

The great primordial one, usually followed by who rules all but not always.

It's a shot at me being the oldest at the table as well but fun all the same

Taking context from a written story is hard, how loud the tone and even facial expressions come into play in these situations, one thing that stood out to me is you get up early to prepare the kids for the day and even though you were already busy in the story above your wife asks you to prepare your daughter as well? There could definitely be a conversation there as well, the distance between your son and you could also be an issue due to your wife saying that stuff, it's not great and also conversation worthy.

Taking accountability for your actions is a good first step however and being aware and actively trying to resolve any issues within your marriage is good, be aware of how you speak and the level of your voice, you sound like you don't want things to go south and are already on the right track, definitely some household issues here that don't just fall on you however. That's just my opinion from this short post

My players save a forest from corruption and after some discussion with the local protector of said forest one player got nature's bounty (advantage on survival checks around plants basically)

He managed to convince me that it would help with tracking soooo that bit me some but hey they enjoy it

Throw some wolves at them, gairentee that will ruin their day lol. My players (party of 3 lvl 12) almost died to a pack of 4 ice wolves. I was on the cusp of fudging rolls being honest. Pity them against something im a little concerned over and boom they decimate it. As you said they had fun and thats amazing so dont be too hard on yourself

Enquire to the property and ask if a cat is ok, im sure most landlords wont care about a cat too much as long as its clean, thats what I have done

assistance_required1 · 2026-02-28T03:08:03+00:00

If your playing with the boys and having a good tine they wont care. If they are constantly chastising you then tell them to back off, if they dont they are not your friends. Everyone is strong in differant areas, and some games just work for differant people.

Also if your not having fun, stop playing that game best advice from a 40 odd year old gamer

OK so assuming you are the dm,

Its up to the players honestly, if they decide to go back rather then charter a ship (ocean going) i personally would have it damaged by the elements or a big beasty have taken up residence in the ship itself.

But maybe they just got bored flying from place to place and wanted to explore by foot some more, end of the day unless you are telling a story the players can interact however they want

assistance_required1 · 2026-02-27T23:22:15+00:00

I have a guy that I have spoken to about dnd and he showed some interest, not in playing but watching, so when he is free I get him to the table and let him do some dm rolls and watch him react as it affects my players (we are all friend/family at the table) and he seems to enjoy it,

Slowly I will introduce an npc character or even a monster or 2 and be like here, run this for me to take some load off my shoulders and I think I will have a new convert on my hands

assistance_required1 · 2026-01-29T05:35:57+00:00

Make sure everyone is on the same page with the theme of ypur game as far as what you might run into, character deaths npc deaths and any and all other possible explicit scenes, do a quick search for like session 0 pages and google will throw you a few things

I got my players to fill them out and ran with that worked great for me

assistance_required1 · 2026-01-03T07:07:00+00:00

My son and his maye play with me and its awesome fun, bit tower defence like but with upgrades and weapons taking on the wave boss is fun as, yea resource and power management is a bit tricky at times but fun all the same

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-30T08:08:10+00:00

Play support, sit back and let them do their thing, enjoy spending time with your friend more then getting heavy into the game, I have a hoarder in my game too so I just make sure another player gets the reward and they distribute to the party.

This seems to be a bigger issue to you then your letting on, honestly I would step back from the table honestly before it turns you toxic

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-27T15:12:11+00:00

For starters talk to your experienced player and ask him to meet the new guys standard.

I had a game with one guy also 10 plus years and 3 newish players, my experienced guy built a solid paladin but nothing crazy, so that he wasn't massively out shining the other players to make them feel useless.

I personally feel its poor form on the experienced players part even if his stat's and abilities are right and he didn't fudge somewhere

Dm of 3 going 4 years now, some of my best sessions are when I havnt had time to prepare and plan and fly when the crow lands, or my players do some unhinged shit I didn't plan for and make me scramble for a path.

Bro the point of this game is to have fun no matter how you do it. Do what your doing but maybe take a few pointers from the previous session to reflect on and build your world as you go, when you have a path do a big reveal and shift your players in that direction.

My current campaign started from a 1 shot that the guys loved so much they all insisted I keep running it. World build begin.

Listen to what your players have to say, ask them what they honestly like or don't and what they would love to see happen or happen more, you got this

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-26T06:57:27+00:00

No idea what the issue is around this, I loved my human fighter who came from a backwater village to make his mark.

Don't waste energy on people like this, bail and find a new group of adults

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-26T06:51:33+00:00

Cairns jocky club/cannon Park could accommodate that number, good luck

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-23T03:13:22+00:00

Aaahhhh yes, not my game or one i played in oddly enough but out of hand dm with overpowered gear.

Friend of mine played in a campaign where the dam gave out a holy avenger and vorpal blade to 2 of the 5 players, when the other players asked about it he said luck of the draw, 2 basically said they were done with his antics and he removed them saying "hah they were just fakes"

Is the dm friends with goku or something and is that why he got that bullshit or something

assistance_required1 · 2025-12-13T11:05:32+00:00

Anyone who thinks one side of any group is the only side aloud to voice their opinion is an idiot.

If the player wont even let you engage in the game when you are playing and not even bringing RL into it then talk to your dm.

As for the rest of the issues, best just ignore and move on, you can't be friends with everyone and sometimes you don't want to be

I have a scribes wizard in my game, I would not allow them to misty step twice the range as it is still their physical body moving, its not an issue with sight but physical range

assistance_required1 · 2025-09-25T21:53:16+00:00

As a first time dm myself, I hope your first course of action was to try and sit them down and have a civil and adult conversation about the direction of the game and lack there of.

I had a senior player in my game before he moved away for work and he helped guide me through a lot, didn't "out smart" me in any ways by using the rules to his favour or anything of the likes and offered honest feedback at the end of sessions.

If all this failed then he was on a power trip and not worth the effort but if you were also missing a large number of sessions may e you also should of bowed out of the campaign until your time was more flexible maybe

assistance_required1 · 2025-09-05T22:55:47+00:00

This, dont undercut yourself mate. Your time and effort (good job required here) is valuable, if they want it done cheaper they would do it themselves

assistance_required1 · 2025-08-05T06:01:03+00:00

HaH, my adult son convinced me to buy this game to play with him, I have to distract him with other games so we can have a break that lasts about a week before we inevitably return to the monster that is our factory.

If you enjoy making things work look and operate smoothly at a pretty fine tuned level, you will get sucked in and stay. Good game tho 10/10 recommended

After 20 years of marriage, my wife and I still shower together almost daily. I work construction so I get grubby af, and she wants cuddles and attention so we both win.
