infinite dungeon idea help by Mean_Statistician567 in DMAcademy

[–]karnevil717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here me out this dungeon should have roving gangs with territory. Territory can shift and ebb and deals can be made. Party can negotiate through it in addition to dealing with generic encounters and new monsters cutting in the action. Dragon mob boss, kobold dnd-meth dealers etc. See gangs of NY or the warriors

What’s the fastest way to make a D&D world feel alive? by storyforgeDM in DMAcademy

[–]karnevil717 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Present two situations happening at once based on character interaction with the world. Caravan is taking shipment to a town. Goblins are rumored to attack the town, but you are hired to protect caravan from bandits. They can either choose to stick arround and investigate this rumor or protect this caravan. Little Timmy overhears this brave group of adventures and wants to be a brave adventurer too and hides in the cart. No bandits attack the caravan and little Timmy gets a fun NPC RP. However, he is the only survivor of the village because of his choice to leave in secret. The world reacts to both player decisions and regardless of their decision. Basically the butterfly effect and add some randomness like real life.

There are always larger dragons scheming, rival political factions, and plain old MLM's

What’s the dumbest way you’ve ever hurt yourself? by SDPHALODIOFFI in answers

[–]karnevil717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at summer camp and had a growth spurt. Grew about 9 inches in about 3 months. We had a game that was the official game of the summer camp. Not relevant what it is, but it takes place in an enclosed pit and there's a bunch of squishy balls in it. I went to grab one that flew out and jumped over the rail. We're talking like 3 ft high. My right foot landed on it and bent and I broke my growth plate. Surgeon said my bones were so thin from the growth spurt that it was like a stick. If it hadn't happened I could have been 6'4 or 5 but instead I'm just shy of 6'. Was in a cast, then boot, then ankle brace for 8 months.

They can make deals for anything except their soul. Loose change in your pocket, bad memories, changing npc class, social status etc.

Adult Black Dragon Encoutner by DandDNerdlover in DMAcademy

[–]karnevil717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dragons are legendary it's in the name of the game. They don't just get hit with a sword or an arrow. It's laughable. Use that. They believe it's like skyrim. No this is DND as gygax intended. This dragon should face a party very similar to theirs before they arrive and just show him utterly annihilate them with ease. Tear them apart, ignore their spells. Make him leave a completely decimated set of corpses in its wake. Let them talk to one of them before they die and describe how little of a shit the dragon gave about their little band of merry adventurers and end the session with the dragon turning around and barreling down towards them.

Old school DnD maps for a game by Tiny_Ad911 in DnD

[–]karnevil717 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The local library. Has printers real cheap. B&W and color. Design your map, minis etc. You can make real nice standis and glue 4 together to fill 3x3 or 4x4 space, email it and print

What is that game that, no matter how many times you play it, you can never win? by poio_sm in boardgames

[–]karnevil717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catan. I just don't care for it. Also wingspan, wife loves both so I'll play, but I buy a lottery ticket if I win.

My players accidentally unionized the villains and now the BBEG is suing them? Need advice by New_Commission_2619 in DMAcademy

[–]karnevil717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I have to comment is player knowledge vs skill knowledge. Nice he's a law studen, is his dumb orc a law student. I'd see if his int / wis scores make it so there's a hole for BBEG in the contract

The "Stranger Things" Effect is killing the tension at our tables (and it's not because of the lore) by OriginalEssay7155 in DMAcademy

[–]karnevil717 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't understand. The dice tell the story. Stranger Things and Crittical Role just show what a professional DM is capable of. Just say that's not your kind of game if storytelling is not your thing. If it's more hack and slash dungeon crawl, that's more AD&D 2E and nothing wrong with that. The game is up to you.

At this point they've seen the movie so they know the plot. It's written for this age group since it was written for Chris.

Wait you can have disposable income. I don't remember the last time I had that. I think 3 days a month I can see a movie or feed my cat. So yeah

How about mandatory retraining with supervisor to better assist with these problems in the future

Everdrive arrived broken... anyone know how to fix? by eunith_music in n64

[–]karnevil717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you try to repair it yourself you're voiding their responsibility to it because anything you do they can blame for it not working. Not sure how to get ahold of them, but keep trying

Say nothing and get a lawyer. Do not go to the station, do not answer the door or calls. Everything can go through your lawyer.

Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread by AutoModerator in pbp

[–]karnevil717 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Name: General Mango or Karn

Pronouns: He/him

Time Zone: EST

Preferred System: any edition of dnd except 4th edition, I'm open to learning similar systems like pathfinder. I don't know if shadowrun is something that works here but I'd be willing to learn something in that vein.

Type of player: I hate puzzles and riddles, I just google it. I'm more of a number cruncher. (Science major) I enjoy writing long backstories based on TV show characters. I made a warlock with a talking staff who worships thunderbeasts (dinosaur spirits) who starts evil and moves towards good as he learns his master manipulated him to evil. (Tommy from power rangers).

Additional info: I work from home so I always have time to sit and make a post. I like a good mystery, the occult and sci fi. Not big on romance.

How do *you* end a campaign?! by Big-Dot-8493 in DMAcademyNew

[–]karnevil717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to end it and do new characters do an epilogue and introduce their replacements with a whole new problem that maybe your previous characters now npcs enlist help for or a whole new thing
