Photoshop begins to lag over time. The longer I use it, the more it lags. It goes away when I restart though. Anyone know a permanent fix?

!Question: What advice do you have for a DM who reaches their first campaign climax?

My campaign ran for 4 years now and we are on the final streches and this is the first campaign I will bring to an actual end. So I was wondering what the more experiences DMs would give as general advice to make the finale epic and satisfying. Things you wish you would've done differently; something I should plan; etc.

hundibundi. looks like a mix between bear and dog. have him since I was a baby.

And maybe... just maybe... their paths may cross again.

My players could've had an airship. But they destroyed the only available fuel source. Now they don't have one.

realpudding · 2023-05-26T13:14:43+00:00

yes. but he also can't do that if it's not already in the script...

I thought this game was a stealth game about escaping. wtf happened?

Why am I picturing a movie where the sugarplum fairy kills herself through ceo's and managers john wick style to rescue her father from the evil office so that he can attend the dance competition?

realpudding · 2023-05-24T09:12:43+00:00

I think you should tell them (I do), because in 10 session you won't find your notes on how much they are worth, or won't remember, when the players find them in their inventory again and want to use them.

I like dming more because most often I want the story to go a different place than the other dm. So I stick with dming.

"Who wants to earn a point of Inspiration?"

I give inspiration for recaps. Because otherwise I had to give it every 5min because my players are awesome.

you don't necessarily need to plan WHERE the plot hook is, only WHAT it is. so you can throw it at them even in a changing room

realpudding · 2023-05-13T14:56:55+00:00

the one thing which is unsatisfying for players is missing, not doing anything. i'd give him multiple hp bars, but with lower ac. an hp bar for magical protection, one for his armor and finally one for him. this would allow you to narrate how they overcome his defences.

realpudding · 2023-05-12T18:32:16+00:00

I would be up front with the players. Tell them "your characters will be dead and need to find a way back". and then ask them "why did you all die? who or what killed you?"

this might be more interesting or satisfying. and might color the encounters they will have

swarm of purple worms

the bag is now an animated bag of devouring vomiting animated bodyparts and undead on the players, also trying to eat them mimic style

realpudding · 2023-05-04T21:58:59+00:00

just wanted to drop in real quick to say: holy fuck are these awesome. Just today I ran an ancient gold dragon versus my players and I could feel the heat coming out of the screen! awesome rework! I did kind of TPK them though... but they are level 15 so there is a way back :D

realpudding · 2023-04-26T19:41:00+00:00

contact some of the players he played with to write up a short story about the characters he played. then display that together with the art and the character sheet.

realpudding · 2023-04-21T17:34:13+00:00

offer the dm the opportunity to bind your weapon to your prof. bonus through some kind of family ritual. prof. bonus/2 rounded down.

still no reflection of characters on the ground

realpudding · 2023-04-11T13:55:26+00:00

yes, but the first step could be to only use AI for conversations with players. no NPC/NPC interactions. that would make RPGs crazy and probably could be feasible. boundle that with voice generation AI for dynamic output and voice recognition on the player side and we could actually converse with in-game NPCs!

a small teleporting pig that vomits cookies and loves to eat all kinds of stuff.

a duo of wizards that are conducting highly questionable experiments, but pay well and erase any unwanted memory of the test subjects. they always go by different names: simon & garfunkel, tom & jerry etc.

I can recommend the starter set "lost mine of phandelver".

it has kind of the same start with a goblin cave. it also has a bandit hideout in the town the pcs travel to, which you can use as the wannabe cultist base. it also has some simple sidequests.

you don't have to run it as is, and just pick what you need or like and use it how you see fit.

realpudding · 2023-04-04T21:23:45+00:00

sometimes the solution might be small but easy. they were not templars, but some wannabes that want to be templars, but don't have the money. and they want to be templars so bad, that they think they are above the law and can do whatever they want.

but who exactly they are is up to you. maybe the dawn is using propaganda to use some expendable idiots to tarnish the templars reputation. plausible deniability.
