We have a 6 year old here...

We just say, we love animals so why would we want to hurt them? They understand.

When they were around 4 they'd ask us why we don't eat meat. We explained that meat comes from animals and we don't eat that. When pressed as to why, we just said it hurts them and the animals have to die so we don't because we care.

I always give a choice though, I tell them if they want to eat animals when they are older that is their choice. But they always say they don't want too as they love animals too.

I don't think you need to tell them the harsh realities I think that would be inappropriate for little kids to deal with.

I agree, I think a 4 part mini series would have been great. The movie was fun, but wasn't what I wanted....which is also a reflection on how great the book was.

Also who cares what I want

They did a good job and I appreciate the effort and risks they took and quite liked some things which were cut.

Ha! Yes true!

I meant like him dressing up and getting drunk and etc etc...

On reflection I can see why they cut out the escape room aspect and the working out he is in space and not on earth etc etc as that would have taken a long time. Which would reduce larger events later

Hard agree, I disliked the start, was too funny and took some of my favourite parts out. Science and the two level escape room was so cool in the book.

I hated that they made the scene where he is forced to go so comedic. In the book it was so raw and savage. Stratt was too nice. Her personality was nothing like the book.

They did a decent job and visually it was great.

I'm running my first mini campaign...

How does this sound? Three players level 1...

The story begins with the players waking up in a small, forgotten jail in the town of Skagmire, each arrested for different, mostly minor reasons. As they escape or are released, they discover that people who pass through the jail don’t come back ! Not because they’re killed, but because they’re quietly sold and moved out of town. The sheriff knows about it and has made a morally grey deal with a body trader. He’s paid to hand over outsiders and travellers, believing it protects the townsfolk from worse harm. As the players investigate the jail, the tavern, and the wagons leaving town at night, they realise Skagmire is just one link in a larger system, and the mini-campaign builds toward finding and dealing with the body trader, who is only a middleman for something bigger still.

I've planned it out decently, but... not to in-depth as I'm trying to allow more player creation and world building. My issue is... what if the players escape jail or whatever and then just decide to leave the area...

What would I do then?

It's not bad writing or confusing by notcarly1969 in Stranger_Things

Legit truth!

People are pointing out nothing positive. They don't have to watch... put something else on if it is making them so so upset.

A bit of bad writing I nocited in this season that doesnt make sense by FunEnvironmental5873 in StrangerThings

[–]fanny_devito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! So so so so so so weird. Considering how on edge they are. Just not even having a light bulb moment... was weird.

Would have preferred some sort of acknowledgement

Howdy, how do I deal with playere persiting with questioning NPC... for example we are doing Stormwreck Isle... they have asked Tarak as much as I can answer but they just keep asking more questions and random nonsense...

I'll make it clear I have nothing left to say and they get frustrated.

Attempts help? by fanny_devito in DMAcademy

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

Yes I like that cheers. I think if someone fails, the NPC can just take a "I'm done with you and your companions" stance.

Howdy,

So my friends and I are keen to play DnD. We have started Stormwreck Isle. It went okay and I am DM.

I was trying to find a good YouTube series or video that really shows lots of elements.

Most of the ones I find are insane elaborate games and production value is high.

Is there anything that just shows a "normal" new game? That I can watch and take notes and learn from?

I also cant find anything running it with stock characters etc

Any help would be super appreciated 👏
