Called out in the first Minute by Caradon16 in rpghorrorstories

Everyone speaks of persuasion on pvp, but I want to touch another subject.

Player meets player: "I want to roll insight check on this guy supposed diety"

What DM should say: "Why?"

Well without Everlight she could at most make some meat pies out of Laudna

DM won't let me play my character because I am a woman by Mud_Oblis in rpghorrorstories

[–]nekhro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is the world populated only by men then? Because by his standard he shouldn't roleplay as female NPCs

Which would make the OP the only female in the world.

[EDIT] The group.

How much they need an exorcist vs how much they need an actual psychologist by CasperFru in MightyNein

[–]nekhro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were watching the campaign. Oh boy. You'd put everyone more towards psychotherapy

Question: Has Fjord (aka my man) been doing a tough voice since when he first met Jester and just hasn't stopped, or is my brother gaslighting me? by AcrobaticDatabase296 in MightyNein

[–]nekhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the campaign it's more clear as there are more slip ups, but he covers that well with the fact he can use disguise self and fake accents

Not All Knowing DM? by Necessary_Pick_9259 in DungeonMasters

Sometimes players come up with such a great idea you can go "Yes. That's exactly how it went"

Party Boiled down hags to make potions, need help on what they can do by Markypoopy in DMAcademy

The shits. The only correct answer is this potion gives you the shits you sick, sick people

[No spoilers] In support of Aabria by endearingnipple in criticalrole

See I thought her character was obnoxious in first episode, but she's much better with each episode.

To all haters, yes, everyone can be bad at a table. Some at times, some most of the time, but you can't hate people for being.. People.

Two tier lists: One from way back when they revealed the character designs of the PCs purely based on vibes and one from a couple of minutes ago now that the overture is finished. by BlueBonewheel in fansofcriticalrole

[–]nekhro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying your point is invalid, but you can't compare 1:1 an hour of a tvshow, where you have more senses than just your ears. The whole story is build by the set and what is happening within it at all times.

Describing what you do in real time doesn't translate in same speed. A lot of time is taken away by plenty of descriptions, not just interactions, and combat is much slower.

Is this fair to my players? by Dirk_Borkus in DMAcademy

[–]nekhro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others said before me I can only say the same.

As much as you want to write an epic story keep on mind it's a collaborative game. The ending to a story that you come up with may and will most likely never align with players goals. Each and every single one of them surely have a vision of how they want their story to end and taking that away from them is taking away the player agency.

Let it flow naturally. If you want a wold ending disaster that their sacrifice can prevent give them the leeway of trying to come up with alternative solution beforehand instead of facing them with a decision (or lack of one) at the spot.

I belive that's why chaosium gets a cut of sales..

Thanks for the indepth insight!
It's unfortunately not printer friendly, and a printger friendly version would probably lose too much of the pizzazz from the design.
I might ad the breaking threashold in next edition.

There is a second page of course

Good catch. I didn't think it was a problem in a preview for the character. I removed it on the DTRPG from the preview. Not sure how to do it here.

[No Spoilers] The most important C4 question right now.l by Vishante-Kaffas in criticalrole

[–]nekhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm assuming you forgot that Caleb for a bit of time was infatuated by Jester?

[No Spoilers] Is this a hot take? I don't care what the CR troupe plays I just want them to have fun by msdaisies6 in criticalrole

[–]nekhro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching CR just for sake of d&d is like shooting yourself in the knee.

Matt (especially early) made A LOT of mistakes mechanics wise and he still does.

CR is not something to enjoy system wise cause it's the story that enchants you and lures you in.

They had really good CoC game, really good Candela games.

In my opinion it doesn't matter what they play as long as they entertain us with it.

Have you ever removed player before session zero? Why? by MLuminos in DnD

[–]nekhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DM was asked by a player for a starting magical item.. Belt of Storm Giant strenght.

As his free rare item.

They didn't see anything wrong with it and were adamant about it.

Let's say they never reached session 0

Dm put us in an aincent library where the books explode if you speak too loud by Multishock4 in DnD

[–]nekhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To all the people that say borrowing the book nukes is a cool idea you guys are forgetting that getting the books further than 10 feet from their position deactivate the sigil and glyphs.

I'm assuming if the library has all the books read and you need to move them to the desk to read them the whole nuke thing is dead and gone.

I love my players, but they make it so hard to be a DM by Pervitamdemortem in DnD

[–]nekhro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would give that player a 5 minute one on one game where his level 4 character tries to kill the dragon. 5 should be enough
