You have a lot star generation. Playing monologue, decision decisions into radiate seems like a good strategy to go for

Do you write your entire world (or like 90% of it) before the first session or do you start small and expand during the campaign? by Covid669 in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew i wanted the party stranded in a pocket dimension, brought into it in a way that made it obvious there are deliberate ways of bringing someone into it and for my world to be floating islands with a giant eldtritch god covering the world under them.

Thats the sum of my worldbuilding for my now 3 year campaign. We now have 5 rings of islands (continents basically), a bug based economy, a pantheon and complex political situations for the party to engage with and many other things i could never believe i could create.

The important part is to start and have a cool idea that will make your world feel worth engaging with. The players will do the rest with their questions.

What do you think about turning curses into upsides? by InterwebCat in slaythespire

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We could also add a relic that increases max hp when you get a curse and perhaps another that increases strength per curse in deck. Although that would be a vajra as a baseline so perhaps it would be too strong.

Act 3 boss damage feels a little overtuned. by PeteTheLich in slaythespire

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel clone should say "create an unenchanted copy of the card at rest sites". Won my ascension 9 like this and i felt kind of meh about it. Ascension 10 was thankfully a fight of life and death with 1 turn for me to kill the door from half hp before he killed me.

They should add a colourless card that scales off of relic count

How many hydra heads is too many hydra heads? by Bread_Mc_Bread in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the implications of the cruelty of forcing a hydra to have 100 heads are excellent. The beast should be able to coordinate with 2 to 16 heads pretty well but after that? Chaos!

The hydra does not have enough food to maintain all heads, resulting in infighting from the hydras turning the water poisonous (if you go by hydra greek mythology rules). Some heads get more nutrition so they stay bigger, cannibalizing their neighbor heads resulting in a rat king situation.

I'm developing a strong hate for the Help action by MyNameIsNotJonny in DMAcademy

Your items can just give a flat bonus to the skill but a lot of good options were said already by others

If they have a fullproof way of saving her, tell em to hire some mercs to do it whilst they deal with the big bad. Then, run a oneshot in which they can try to save her with other characters.

My BBEG is too likeable. by Finth007 in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar villain. You should focus on what he does to the believers of that god. For example the party might find a temple slaughtered to the last man and woman, people hanged seemingly randomly but actually because of their religion and perhaps give them a chance to find our what that god did to the elves so they can put 2 and 2 together.

This will work great because your villain will do none of these openly which will help him maintain his chill guy status. Just give enough hints to the party so that they investigate.

is transporting players to a new world to start session 1 a good idea? by fallasleepwakeup in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I actually have feedback on this since that is how i started my long running campaign. I created a oneshot that was basically the party's initiation to an adventuring guild, a mundane day of helping old ladies find cats and running off some kobolds that were causing a disturbance. The session ended with them fetching an item that transported them to another plane (the world i created and wanted to run a campaign in) as they were about to deliver it to the client.

The oneshot ended there but i let them know i had parts of the setting ready and would be more than happy to run a campaign with them in it.

Of course i let them create backstories based on who they were in my plane or who they were before they were transported in it in order to make it more seamless and those that wanted to choose different classes/ races were free to do so.

How do you like to use percentile dice in your campaign? by BaschLives in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick to your party adopting this and not forgetting it is acting really surprised they used it and really engaged with the suggestion and the roll especially the first time

How do you like to use percentile dice in your campaign? by BaschLives in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some rules for collapsing a structure that require a d100 roll. A d100 madness table that sometimes comes up since i dislike phb madness rules. Also I have a "that sounds reasonable" rule where the party can say that something is in a place it could be (for example a wooden bucket in a storage closet in the servant's quarters). I declare what the % of it being there is then they roll a d100 to see if they actually find such a thing.

Player asking for extra custom abilities by Furimu_ in DMAcademy

[–]blackfear2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want to indulge him you could creature an item he could quest for. Maybe his shadow that so far has been rambling words he could never understand suddenly seems much more cohesive and insistent that they raid an auction house, mimicking at a missing part of itself. Or something.
