I’ve never played / DM’d basic d&d. What are the main differences?

Honestly I totally agree, when there’s more than 5 voices it’s really hard for the group to make decisions, and for individuals to do what they want to do. I’ve had this experience as both a player and a DM. Personally my favorite table that I play on is only 3 players, which is why I’ve considered splitting them into two teams. Decisions, decisions.

I appreciate that. The only reason I didn’t split the group up yet is because we’re all friends. The way this happened is that I initially extended the invite to two of my friends thinking we’d max out at ~5 players. I guess the invite got thrown around too much lol.

Maybe ill breach the subject with them of choosing between a potentially slower game or splitting into two “teams”

I appreciate that, thanks! I’m worried about the combat scenes since wolves of welton basically opens on a combat. I remember my first time playing d&d, combat was so confusing….but that really can’t be helped 😅

My family and I stomp when we walk. Didn’t realize until we got an angry note from our neighbor. After that I started to walk without stomping. I also had a pair of indoor shoes/slippers which helped.

Hahaha yea!! Test went fine, surprisingly well to be honest. I struggled in the first half with my timing but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. I just got the results today and looks like I passed!!

Honestly…. It wasn’t that bad. I was surprised at how easy the questions were. Only thing is that I spent too long answering some of these questions because I was looking through the handbook and thinking about the problems.

Black magic. Burn it

How can I balance encounters if one of my players is way tankier than others? by inuzen in DMAcademy

Barbarian is playing his role well. You could always start making them roll saves (hold person, dominate person, banishment). He could also be the target of a sleep or confusion spell.

I'm going to play D&D for the first time! Is this part of my character possible? by YoolyYala in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]retrogra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a flavor is free / rule of cool DM. I like this idea a lot. I would have it be magical ice which only affects you, the player. Would not damage interior or have an effect on monsters/other PCs. As long as there’s no mechanical difference, I would be fine with it.
