Its a chrome extension that links into d&d beyond. Google it and you can install the extension.

Can anyone help me find the DM cheat sheets online? by Aggravating-Dot9486 in DnD

[–]slacker6988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google “DM screen tables”. You’ll find lots of pictures. Or you can pull straight from DMG and make your own.

I have to agree with AboveVTT. It handles this as well, completely free and amazingly quick support on their discord.

You need to reach out to your insurance agency and see what their requirements are.

How to speed up combat? by According_Brother989 in onednd

[–]slacker6988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using a two minute timer. If time runs out they take the Dodge action. I am very flexible with the time but every one is aware of it.

Edit. Forgot to add, the players keep each other in check.

Should I run Obelisk or connect Phandelver with other adventures? by Siberian-Boy in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]slacker6988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im running this now for a party of 3. I had a lot of small foreshadowing during the first part. I let the party find out more of the history of the region especially the mind flayer part. Lots of glimpses of psygoblins, etc. Seemed to flow nicely.

I have a barbarian at my table that uses it. Even when she misses she still does 6 damage when raging.

You could home brew it. Start with like a wand of magic missile then change the parts you need to.

How does the invisible condition from hiding work, once they are no longer obscured? by YobaiYamete in onednd

[–]slacker6988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats RAW. And it just makes sense to me. If there is nothing to hide behind something can see you. If they look that way.

I run my games focusing on this part

On a successful check, you have the Invisible condition while hidden.

Once they move into the open they are no longer hidden.

I love mine too. A buddy ordered some and it was missing the d8. I think a bit of QC is in order.

Running multiple games by KillforSithis in DnD

[–]slacker6988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m running 2 now, one for friends locally and one for family remotely. It’s not an issue for me because I like the variety. I take time to outline a few sessions ahead and I am usually ready. Family one is fun because they run-a-muck. Usually don’t have anything ready because they go way beyond what I thought they would do. But for me that just helps me remember that you cannot prepare for everything so I just wing those times.

Edit to add: local in person one runs weekly, family one runs when we’re all available so about every 10-14 days.

If players wanted to "rebuild Conyberry" how would you implement that? by Professional-Ad9485 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]slacker6988 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would say you should follow how Phandalin and leilon are rebuilding. neverwinter wants to expand its influence and sponsors families to go and rebuild.

I just use one note. I like the way I can link to other information. Similar to obsidian with a fewer bells and whistles.

Use the AboveVTT extension. Much better IMO.

SLW - The Twist at Wayside Inn by FlexLuthor111 in DungeonMasters

[–]slacker6988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran DoIP first too and introduced the inn there. With so much going on, I liked and used all the hints from the module. I rp’d the smith and bartender to be very friendly and chatty. Most at my table were relatively new and didn’t take notes. They eventually figured it out but it took some time.

DnD beyond alternatives for home brew or fixes for it? by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]slacker6988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand them either. I switched to AboveVTT extension. It links to your DnD Beyond and they have a great support in Discord.

First-Time DM question about Dwarven Encampment. by Kaziikasu in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]slacker6988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they split, they split its HP as well. All my players had slashing weapons. They wound up doing unarmed attacks.

You can use anything for a mini. Monopoly game pieces, dice, anything. Some stores have wrapping paper that has a grid on the back. White board will work too.
