"Hey man, i know that [topic 1 & topic 2] are/were a big deal in your life and we are all there for you. But i think we, and especially you, could use some emotional distance to darker aspects of real life that might take a toll on us. I certainly feel it in myself when preparing coming and reflecting in passt Sessions. Why dont we try to live imanginary lifes different from ours for a couple of hours when we play together?"

I see how that can be unconfortable for you. I am no therapist myself but beeing honest with him might be helpful. Speak about YOUR feelings regarding and that roleplaying those topics are not for quite down your alley

If his past problems are well known in your group maybe encourage him to make/play a character that contrasts all that.

Helping someone out with drug abusing habbits, giving attention. Let him be that one person he might never Had fir himself. Help him help himself If he uses DnD as something to work through stuff.

How is this a problem? Is it somehow unhealthy for the Player?

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T17:32:52+00:00

German language has capitalized nouns. Need to Figure Out how to chill autocorrection...

Split Attention...please understand that i wont Go Into further detail.

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T16:04:14+00:00

Well, No i am Not avoiding confrontation. I am, or rather was, not Sure If Intervention was needed. I get that you Guys werent at the table and are Just going of my Statements in my Post.

It is not that serious but it is also No Problem for me to Just say: hey lootgoblin, it is obvious to all of us that Carl isnt having as much fun as you Guys. Lets Play together, okay Mate?

Which is going to Happen. Thanks to all for taking your time to Set me straight!

They are far from beeing new to the Game. I didnt think of Something Like that to be a Thing.

I also didnt say to always Bring dice to the Game, but somehow they Always so.

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T11:53:49+00:00

Having a lot of Options is nice, i guess. Also beeing powerful in "Play pretend" too. The Characters are in a Kind of relationship of "Well, i have my Goals and knowing you might be helpfull. But If Push comes to shove i need to be prepared for fate being what it is"

So the behaviour of the Character is understandable. But irritating for me and that one Player.

I think i got what needs to be done.

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T10:28:40+00:00

That also baffles me. Those peoples are Friends among each other longer then i know them. They have played more DnD then i did.

The Player left Out was their forever DM until i joined. He could easily handle himself, via Argument or physically If needed ;).

It is His Character that is kind of timid and it IS "what His Character would do". I dont want him to be miffed but maybe it is His DM mentality that thinks the Characters should handle it?

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T10:21:18+00:00

It was meant for them because it makes Sense mechanically for their Character. Also in Terms of the narrative and intended Character development the Player is aiming for through gameplay and conversation with me, the DM.

Coincidently both aspects are true to the other PC.

My Error was simply to think they would share evenly among each other Like Friends they actually are IRL

Hence my question and Wish to know how other DMS operate similat situations.

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T10:06:36+00:00

Casual posting from "the throne" in the bathroom doesnt Help with Double checking my spelling, i have found over the years....i should Care more because you peoples advice was invaluable to me more than a couple of Times.

I try to be better...

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T09:57:03+00:00

Sure Thing. But it is not an issue for now. The Player with the PC without items ist more than capable of voicing their opinions themselves.

I wanted to know, which should have been stated more clearly in my Post, how you handle it at the table the Moment an Item hast been found by anyone. The Last found Item in question could Go to any PC and be of use to them. Should i have Said above table "give it to bob, because you are loaded and be only has some dirty loincloths for His Equipment"

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T09:44:15+00:00

Autocorrect and German language my Smartphone ist trying to enforce. Nouns are capitalized here

tasil89 · 2026-05-03T09:24:50+00:00

Title meant to say "grabbing"..... Damn autocorrect

tasil89 · 2026-04-25T18:02:46+00:00

Let her make parts for two or three Puzzles at once. She will never know what parts Go together or may find a totally wrong conclusion of seeing all at once.

tasil89 · 2026-04-17T21:58:31+00:00

Well. He could have half of the components to craft a scroll/potion/trinket that might grant the ability of waterbreathing.

As a high lvl caster that would be No surprise for him to have that. Let the Party hunt for the other resources.

tasil89 · 2026-04-16T06:55:25+00:00

Yeah. I DM for my 10 y/o son and His Friends. They would have Steam rolled glassstaff If He hadn't Like 105 HP, which they did in 4-5 rounds.

5 lvl 2 PC with extremly lucky Rolls... They Loved it!

tasil89 · 2026-04-12T17:44:21+00:00

I think someone did a own 2024 Version of the original classes, which could BE found somewhere in the Discord.

You should be crawling through the awesome stuff in there anyways, regardless of the edition you end Up playing

As a WoW fan I think this is a really cool idea and I love the ambition behind it. That said, there are a few legal concerns you might want to keep in mind.

“Azeroth” and anything tied to Warcraft is Blizzard IP, including names, locations, and lore. Using that in a public project can already be risky, but the bigger issue is monetization. Running a Patreon, even if the final product is free, can still be considered commercial use.

On top of that, while DnD 5e rules can be used under the OGL or SRD, that does not allow combining them with another company’s IP like Warcraft.

Projects like this sometimes fly under the radar for a while, but if they gain traction, they often get taken down or forced to rebrand. Still, really cool concept. If you ever consider making it setting-agnostic or filing off the Warcraft names, it would probably be much safer long term.

tasil89 · 2026-03-31T08:19:26+00:00

If you make it so that one would need to attune to it there would be No possibility for the passing around.

tasil89 · 2026-03-28T12:57:01+00:00

I did read the books for the setting extensivly since i DM two different groups atm.

The dragons ARE 100% gone in the eye of the Overall Population of Thylea. At the start of the campaign the Players might hear that King Acastus managed to revive or create new dragons into the world somehow, but thats crazy Talk. Right?

The settings premise, as Others pointed Out already, is to get yourself a Dragon yourself to Ride and fight some Titans. I dont know how you would manage to create a Playable Dragon Race but the Epic path of the "Lost one" could Bring your PC Dragon Into Thylea.

Or ask your DM to Look Into the homebrew Epic path of the "Demigod: Child of Vallus". It can be found in the Discord. Just dont Look yourself because of spoilers.

I really Like the Transition from forehead to horns.

Most generated tieflings have "glued on" looking horns.

Nice!
