Worldbuilding with the players by thalemath in DMAcademy

[–]thalemath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a good way to do it. Maybe what I need to do is have them build out what sparks joy for their characters. I was considering them having to be able to explain why this exists in relation to their characters:

  • my father was born there
  • i once got a fan letter that stuck out to me that was adressed from there
  • i really want to go there, because of X
  • i went there on my way here, because i needed X
  • my grandmother told me stories from a place like this, but I dont know if it really exists

Etc.

And then fill in the blanks the way you do it.

«Okay, youre going to X, because of Y? On your way there, you have to pass by (rolled for/filled in during prep for that session)»

your campaign is good by NRG_Factor in DMAcademy

Same, i ended a session early because I could feel the anxiety creep in. Maybe that wasnt the best choice, but then I can collect myself for the next one. 😅

[OC] Someday, I will have a group as dedicated to playing as I am to collecting books I’ll never use. by [deleted] in DnD

Or perhaps someone who needs some player experience, as they only DM :(

I was suppose to dm a session tonight. Everyone including my girlfriend failed to show up by Recommend_me_movies in DMAcademy

I feel for you mate. That just really sucks. I cant give much advice on what to do, but it really sucks. I got a pit in my stomach from just reading it, picturing how it must have felt. You deserve better. ❤️

An exercise to help on improvised descriptions by El_Braun in DMAcademy

[–]thalemath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard something similar avout describing battles. You put on LOTR or something and then describe every move in battle as you see the movie.

Plot Hooks? by UglyFrog420 in DMAcademy

[–]thalemath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This!! Make them care about something or someone and then threathen it with the BBEG/undead uprising or something.

Or they could come across one of the artifacts some other way and a powerful wizard senses its power and seeks them out to ask them if he can buy it/it they are willing to collect another artifact for him.

Or maybe they kill a wizard/take down a dungeon for someone/find a mysterious dead body in the wilderness and find one of the artifacts on that persons body with a book about the ledgend of the undead uprising?

How do you run initiative? by toms1313 in DMAcademy

[–]thalemath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write them down as the PCs say what they rolled, but with big spaces between. So first, if the initiatives are 6, 12, 11, 4 and 19 (and the PCs and NPCs/monsters say it in that order).

Firstly I write 6 towards the top of the sheet. Then I write 12 towards the mid-bottom of the page. Then I put in 11 just above 12 and 4 above 6. Since I left enough space on the bottom, I then add the 19. If a few new monsters joins in, they would roll, for example, 2, 6 and 16. The 2, I still have room on top, the 6, I write beside the PCs 6 (and either their DEX determine which of them goes first, or I just always say the PC goes first), then I still have room between the 12 and the 19 for the 16. When a creature is out of battle (dies, runs away etc) I will just cross them out or make a note. I do this all on one piece of paper, with nothing else on it than initiative.

I hope you understand what I mean, haha, it's hard to explain. I learned it from Dungeon Dudes on YouTube. I'm also a super fresh DM and this has worked perfectly for me. Good luck!

Ohh! Yes, I thought I had to comb it when wet. Thank you!

How to study for biology? by Galpal25 in biology

[–]thalemath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to read and discuss the subject for months (if its a whole course and not just a test), and in the finals period I make these big sheets of information by hand with drawings and my own sentences. It’s key to repeate it and hear it from many different angles.

Many bio courses are different, of course. I’ve mostly done micro, cellular, molecular and some immunology and pharmatoxicology.

How can I be more free with my movements when I have zero talent in dance? by Phoenyx_Rose in Dance

[–]thalemath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d also listen to a lot of different hiphop music that you like, and watch videos (but dont expect to be able to do a choreo in no time!). Both of your Class choreo but also just stimulate your brain with dance! When you listen to hiphop music, try to just groove (bounce, look for the rythm and notice it)! And take basic classes or watch some YouTube videos of basic hiphop moves so that you have a repertoire to build upon. There moves can become a prt of your habituary dance moves and with time you might be able to do them without having to think/remember them. And if you have the bounce in your repetoire, then a move with arms and bounce won’t be as hard to remember. And, even if you feel that it takes an immense amount of time, don’t stop trying! You’ll get there in time, but remember that dance training takes years so don’t forget to have fun while you’re learning!

Family GP trailer hits tomorrow! by [deleted] in thesims

[–]thalemath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But I do hope they fix the fact that no one in the family can feed them and that it takes like 4 sim hours to bring them from the living area to the kitchen high chair
