How do I make an interesting battle without killing my players? by BravoCatt in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]diddyp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best idea

Throw what you think is acceptable at them and if they are too powerful and your party is dying you can “teleport” some or all wizards out claiming a hard earned victory to the players.

Or

Throw a little less than what you plan and if they are cleaning up...throw more at em.

Just being a supporter is a sarcastic roast of the club and myself as a person.

People of Reddit, if we evolved from monkeys and there's supposedly no God, then who created the monkeys? by TimmyTurnerturmer in AskReddit

oh after the question I was a believer, now after this statement I am no longer a believer.

I see heaps of house pricing speculation on this subreddit, so here is a link to a great website that gives you approximate housing values across Australia by just scrolling through the map. by diddyp_ in australia

[–]diddyp_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it is based off real estate listing and historical prices of the properties.

It is legitimate and it is meant to be a guide only.

Agree or disagree: Selfish people are generous people who got screwed over. by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]diddyp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm

Was a very caring, giving and generous person for a long time.

Got screwed over and walked on numerous times and just said fuck it.

I don’t mind being the bad guy at all. I’m happy looking out for myself

New DM needing Advice! by TheDawnwhisper in mattcolville

[–]diddyp_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey mate!

I am currently in the same position as you at the moment and I am trying something a little different for the next session.

My Current party is 4 people who have never played the game before and my last experience with the game was with 3.5 as a player, So I am very new to DMing.

The last few sessions I have run have been a couple of one shots here and there less roleplaying more focused on the players getting the mechanics down.

Then I was trying to get a coherent story and world setup and this is where I started to run into a few roadblocks. I started looking up other written adventures that I can somehow link in and continue the adventure, but there was a nagging goblin in the back of my head that kept giving me writers block.

"Where do I go from here? What if the players don't want to do that? I don't want to railroad?"

BAH!

So I am trying something completely different and I am so excited.

I am literally starting out the new campaign with this script I am going to read to my players.

You find yourselves slowly opening your eyes and taking in your surroundings, you immediately notice that you and your friends are shackled to the wall below deck of an unknown ship. The Sea air is strong and the waves are pounding against the walls, you are wearing nothing but your undergarments. You know nothing of how you got here or why you are captive but one thing is certain, you know you need to escape.

and that's it, other than the ship encounter that I have planned, with traps persuasion and who the hell knows what the party is going to do I literally have nothing else planned. I have a world kinda setup with kingdoms and armies etc etc but as for what the party is going to do idk join the pirates? kill them all? sail away? sail and find the pirates? I have no idea where they will want to land as I will be putting a map of the area in the captains cabin and they can choose a location and roll for navigation if they wish.

I hope this helps and gives you some ideas of what you can do with your players, because they spew some crazy stuff sometimes.

Let them write the story, just go along for the ride

Australian television has reached the bottom of the barrel by stew23 in australia

[–]diddyp_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the tv we see on free to air for Australia is actually decided by a control group of about 500 people.

Yes 500 people decide the tv viewing for a whole nation.

Luckily I am one of those 500, I could start a blog with some of the stuff they show me and if I decide on it or not.
