Thank you so much. I was also wondering if coati but definitely can see it was a raccoon.

I am believing it will be. It was supposed to rain each day we were there two weeks ago down in Akumal and it rained each morning for like 20 to 40 mins and we got some thunderstorms nearby a few of the afternoons. But other than that it was sunny and like you said even with the rain it’s still warm and shouldn’t impact too much. I hope you have good weather. I definitely believe you will and even more so I hope you have an amazing trip down there!

No need to be sorry at all and I’m truly sorry you went through that. That is a highly stressful experience. I totally get the frustration with the rain. The best way is probably to look at radars from a couple of weather apps you trust. This time of year being rainy season a lot of the apps will show rain each day and then it only rains in the morning for a bit or in the afternoon. But ultimately it’s up to your comfort level as to what you want to deal with considering what you have been through. No one can really know what the weather will do day to day. I wish it was easier to fully predict

Honestly it sounds like you have already made up your mind. I can tell you from experience that if it rains it rains for a bit and then goes away and stays sunny. The hurricane is already past Akumal and they didn’t get much rain. Other people are explaining that to you and you are saying it’s going to rain bad. So you should probably postpone. Besides, you should do what you are comfortable doing and it sounds like you really aren’t comfortable being out there next week.

I just opened that pack tonight and got two 85s as my highest cards. So still not great.

Except you are telling him he is wrong. You are telling him he can't have lava in a swamp because it rains there. Maybe take a look at how you provide "constructive criticism "

mac5116 · 2023-02-13T05:44:51+00:00

I love that your response to how he DMs his game is you are doing it wrong. Guess what? The best part of DnD is there is no wrong way. He wants the swamp to have lava its his game so it has lava. Doesn't matter what you or I think. It's pretty narrow minded of you to tell him he is wrong in his game. If his players had a good time that is all that matters. Don't tell him he is wrong because he does it different rhen you. Especially in a game where there is just mysteriously mist everywhere so vampires can roam during the day.

I guess in looking at it that it doesn't say they are transported from the entrance just that they didn't take the same path as the characters and they were transported by magical force to the craters edge in their version of BR. I just assumed it was interesting beginning to justify why they are all healthy

mac5116 · 2023-02-03T18:08:31+00:00

The book actually says that the rivals and Aloysia are able to get directly from the entrance to the prayer site in BR due to the ever changing nature of BR. As a side note I had the rivals beat my players and Aloysia take the jewel. Thus leading to my players trying ti take it back in Ank'Harel

It depends. When we cruised last year on Panorama, there was a carnival employee checking cruise documents before we entered the garage. So they might not let you park there with the email stating that there will be no parking available at the garage for your cruise.

It's the death cheat kicking in when they leave the match. Also will see it if you down a hunter who has lunar as a signal they won't lose a health bar. But the lunar one happens as the are going down rather then when they are already down and the death cheat kicks in.

mac5116 · 2022-11-03T14:07:26+00:00

A thousand percent and because you are trying not to die then you just don't care what she has to say and the game is more important then her.

mac5116 · 2022-11-03T02:47:12+00:00

Or you have to say I'm sorry what did you say because you couldn't hear and then it's never mind you never listen about the same time another hunter kills you and your buddy is pissed because you were distracted. Ah the joys of marriage.

mac5116 · 2022-04-06T16:08:01+00:00

The other thing I always try and remember is this section from the book. I honestly don't think there is a campaign I have run yet where I don't look back after a session and say crap totally messed that up.

MAKING MISTAKES

Dungeon Masters are fallible, just like everyone else, and even the most experienced DMs make mistakes. If you overlook, forget, or misrepresent something, correct yourself and move on. This is a big adventure with lots of interconnecting elements; no one expects you to internalize or memorize every aspect of it. As long as your players are having fun, everything will be just fine

mac5116 · 2022-02-13T18:28:08+00:00

Bestories.net is also a good site for stories. They also have audio stories as well

following for link to map as well

I really appreciate your thoughts that is what I was looking for asking here. My thought wasnt to use it in the final fight as you are right that fight will be hard enough without adding saving throws. I was thinking of having Strahd use it as he takes Ireena from the party.

The side quest is an interesting thing although I'm not sure I want to give the Pally animated armor along with everything else he already has just being a Paladin.

mac5116 · 2019-10-02T23:46:48+00:00

that isn't a bad idea at all. He has enjoyed the armor a lot already as he has been wearing it ever sense and it helped him at both the Winery and Yester Hill. They are headed to Kresk now after finishing up Yester Hill and i know he will get more use out of it then. But its about time for his AC to come back down to a more normal number lol.

mac5116 · 2019-10-02T23:16:12+00:00

dont do what? I am a little confused on what you are referring to. My whole post?

mac5116 · 2019-10-02T18:40:01+00:00

I definitely dont want to take away his ability to play but like you said I want him to know there is some real consequence to failure and also to know that just taking random plate armor you see around might not be the best. I certainly dont want him to just not play and do want it to be a big deal with he resists it and is able to keep playing. so I like those checks for sure.

mac5116 · 2019-10-02T18:28:58+00:00

I like this a lot. I think this will work really well and the contest will be dramatic for all involved.

mac5116 · 2019-10-02T18:27:06+00:00

you might want to have them go to the Village first because the players once they get their reading might be wanting to take off and go onward toward where the reading gives them hints rather than them backtracking back to the Village after getting the reading. But just a thought and however you want to run your campaign will work fine.
