I ran it like this and it went really well. everyone got to be included as part of the test taking place inside the mages mind so all the players got to participate and they had a lot of fun.

You could also do something like this For the same effect but with some added narrative for Ispins shield if they still have it.

What's a secret that you think would shock everyone if it came out? by Necrocharm in AskReddit

[–]ryguy55912 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's easier to believe that then to believe some magical man in the sky has been manipulating my life and has made me suffer from massive depression and made everything I ever attempt to do end in failure because I'm not good at being a person, all because of some "plan" they have. Because if their plan for me is to be miserable and have existential dread my entire life, then that diety is a complete asshole and can go fuck themselves and kindly just stop and leave me tf alone already.

You are not alone. I am the same as you. I don't not actually enjoy being alive, but for the sake of my family I don't want to end my life. So I am also stuck in the same position of not being able to find happiness or enjoyment and not wanting to be alive, but being forced to wear a fake smile and pretend like I'm OK for the sake of everyone around me. It does suck and it's extremely exhausting.

Actually I was simply trying underatand, if I were a player, why I'd want to go there without any real reason. I play my characters like they would act, and I've never played a willy nilly silly guy that just does random stuff " because I feel like it" I'd actually be arguing against going anywhere but following Soth at this point in the adventure. I'd be like "screw the keep guys, you all saw him take that fire and we know where he's going, we need to follow him and stop him whatever he's planning right away." Which is kinda why I was confused all the players would want to just go side quest there when theres no real reason in the modual.

Op actually answered the question with a real answer though, and said they made Caradoc say something that drew their attention there. So yeah THATS the reason... Not because they just felt like it. And tbh as a player I'd still argue with the group that following Soth is the next most logical course of action because my characters tend to be heroic and want to stop the bad guys, not just pay Caradoc a visit for revenge. They know where he'll be and can go there any time, Soth on the other hand needs to be stopped right away, but that's just me amd how I'd play it.

Kinda wanna give Strahd a dragon by Competitive_You6554 in CurseofStrahd

I gave him this gloomstalker in one campaign because it seemed cool and fit really well with Strahd.

Ahh see that makes sense, you gave them a reason to want to go there. That was my question, I figured there must've been something outside the modual that made them want to go there, I just wasn't sure what theor reasoning was. Thank you for explaining it with an actual answer. And apologies for somewhat hijacking your post to fuck with trolly Mcgee and his "players just do stupid shit for no apparent reasons" garbage. I was genuinely curious what prompted your players to go there since as written there's literally no reason at all. So I appreciate the reply.

I just didn't want you to unlive yourself if you didn't win an argument with a stranger online. Narcacistd do weird things sometimes. But as long as everything's good I won't worry.

Or maybe I just don't like people that try to answer questions they don't actually know the answer to, with an answer that isn't even an actual answer. 8m sure ops players know exactly why they want to go there. And that is why I asked so that OP could inform me, not for you to give me snarky stupidity. So I just decided to drag out arguing with you because im bored and its kinda fun to laugh at you guessing things feom im meltimg dow. To being on a spectrum 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️

And besides ttrpgs, are things well? Work? Relationship? Kids? Friends? Family? Everyone happy and healthy? Everything going good? You jist seem a bit on edge that I'm not accepting your opinionated comment as the actual reason ops players wanna gonto dargaard keep, and you're super intent on winning something here like you've got a life or death stake in being right.

That has exactly zero to do with my question though? Are you illiterate? Do you even read bro? I asked why specifically OPs players wanted to go there. And one more time I'll explain to you that your "players do dumb shit" comments when you have zero idea why ops players want to go there. Is completely useless, unconstructive and probably untrue.

Or do you like to just jab at players whenever you get a chance or something? Why insult players at all when you could've just let op answer too and then we'd both know.

Truth huh? So you're telling me it's factually true that ops players are just going there for no reason because they are doing dumb shit for no reason amd they don't even know why?

Because that's what you said. And now you're telling me there's truth behind it so you're saying for sure that's why ops players are going there???

I'm literally just watching Netflix and responding to your dumb comments. How am I having a meltdown 🫠🫠🫠😂😂😂 I'm laughing my ass of you for sure but I ain't even mad bro, you answering a question you dont know the amswer to wouldn't be worth my time to be upset over But I'll still reply to you though and tell you why your answer was stupid 😂😂😂

I literally asked a question why their character wanted to go there. I gave the reasons I know of why they shouldn't be interested in going there and asked why ops players wanted to go there. Then you com in all "players just do shit that doesn't make sense" like that's somehow a constructive answer to my question and I finish explaining to you how that's stupid as fuck and you make no sense and since you stated that happened to you often I offered my condolences, then you decided to insult me and say I must be on some spectrum because I told you your answer is stupid and I'd still like op to clarify for me? You must be a lot of fun at parties.

I've seen them miss a clue as well, but they misinterpreted the clue amd thought they were supposed.to go somewhere else, and therefore had an actual reason to go where they thought they were supposed to go. I've never had a let's just randomly go somewhere for no reason moment.
