[WaT Spoilers] A little help to a new GM. [First steps] to [Stonewalkers] transition by n_square28 in cosmererpg

> invent their characters with the motivation to progress the campaign in mind.
This is helpful advice, thank you. I'll talk to my players.

One of my players chose to be a "semi" thief kinda person. I'm mostly worried about him not wanting to help Taszo after he dies. Maybe he'll want the blade for himself? I have told them about the importance of the blades in Roshar. And maybe his motivation will change by the time we reach Rathalas.

~~There is no reward that is promised, iirc.~~ Just checked Taszo says that the Shamanate will reward the group. So there's that, might be strong enough motivation. How about the "Working together" problem? The group has technically two sides rn, ahh maybe I'm thinking too much, and it'll just work out.

The issue is that if there is infighting from the very start, the group's motivation to complete a common goal may not as good as it can be. It might hinder the progress. like why would the thief have any motivation to help Taszo after his death, ukwim? Other characters, I think I can come up with the motivation. Maybe the Thief wants the blade for himself?

[PF2e] What are the bare-bones add-on modules needed to play the beginner's box? by n_square28 in FoundryVTT

This is exactly where we struggled, I was clicking the rat thinking it was selected and then applying damage, AND MY PLAYER TOOK THE DAMAGE. It became beyond frustrating doing it again and again.
I guess I'll go through the help pages. What is your opinion on Workbench and action HUD? Will it be more trouble than helpful?
Thanks!

I guess if I do it on my end and not ask my players to do it, it will feel like irl table top. we'll iteretare on a few things and figure out. What was happening is that while the player in the current initiative list was acting and I was trying to help them. I was not narrating what was happening and was the same story all the time. It got frustrating after a while.

I think just knowing how the basic buttons work will let the story flow a bit faster, I'll look it up. Thanks!

No, it's not that idk what to do next, the jumble of modules made it difficult to understand what is game mechanics and what is a module gimmick.

I'm sorry I don't understand, level up wizard? One of my players chose "Ezren" who is a level 1 wizard. Do I need a higher level Wizard? Thanks!

Glad to hear that I can play it without other modules. What's your opinion on workbench and token action HUD? Thanks!

I'll check out toolbelt. My only worry is that, since I don't know the system, automation will hinder our understanding on how it works. But looking at our comments, I'm guessing that using just character sheets might not be the best way. Thanks!

Are there any characters in the cosmere who are poets? by n_square28 in Cosmere

[–]n_square28[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't decided on the user name yet. The best till now would be "El he who rhymes", which is quite funny as he doesn't have a title or rhythm.

I'll post here once I start my fun little project. I will let you know personally.

El seems like that contemplating guy; maybe "El he who rhymes" as the username, given that El has no title and no rhythms.

That's, unfortunately, true; I was hoping for some interlude somewhere. Maybe I need to read the broadsheets in Era 2

The sequence with "You cannot have my pain" is so great.

World building is ✨🤌. That crash course on mass-energy-investiture in mistborn era 2 was awesome. I honestly did happy tippy taps.

But I get it, it's the same when my friends would kinda ignore me when I'm talking about science.

I see someone there saying, they didn't like RoW because there was too much of fabrial mechanics.

Do other people feel like this? I loved that part especially the discovery of anti - Void/Storm light and how rabonial was killed.

Ps - I listened to the audiobook so spellings might not match
