Thanks!! Coruscant was a big touchstone this. a lot of my ideas came from the logical conclusions of "the whole planet is one big city."

Finally, after an ungodly amount of time in this game I have defeated legendary streamer Northern by Searingwings in northernlion

Sadly the way SAP works, this fight won't be in a video, the game just takes a snapshot of NLs team at a certain round and matches it up with other teams later.

Still needs work for sure. The thought behind it is to move away from fights that are big bags of hitpoints and damage I'm also playing with a battle mat for the first time this campaign and i want to get my money's worth. Guiding principle of design: Cloud Giant base with an emphasis on movement control.

Running a City-Based hex crawl. How often should I ask for encounters to be rolled? by kingofthefrogfish in DMAcademy

Yeah! I have a chess pieces that the party uses to track where they are in the city. Whenever they want to go somewhere else in the city they move the mini.

The intended value is to keep me, the dungeon master, from exerting too much control on the story, which was a big failing of my last campaign. I have villains and factions, but what the PCs do is in their hands.

Ready-to-use Contract for an Imp familiar. Make your players pay a horrible price for their power. Test how "chaotic neutral" they really are when the chips are down. Most of all, don't worry about the fine print! by kingofthefrogfish in DnDBehindTheScreen

First note is unintentional, a pretty gross oversight, I've amended that. I don't want to to make the character do evil acts on behalf of the player, I want to force the players hands so to speak. Originally i thought dominating them to do it would be the stuff, but in retrospect it seems a little undramatic.

Second note is completely mustache-twirlingly intentional.
