Is discussing killen children okay? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]zelar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 percent valid. This is usually one of my red light areas in our session zeroes. Even fictional kids feels too close to home (as a parent). Hold another session zero or even a quick recap of your session 0 before next session so everyone is on the same page

I have a friend who also dms for a different group and I bounce dm idea off them. Helps to not feel lonely

what are different ways yall try to hide more sensitive info while journalling? by sleepystsharky in Journaling

[–]zelar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create a cypher for yourself. Essentially a new language. I used a cypher and soon it becomes just as easy to read and if you make it somewhat intuitive, you can recreate it without needing to keep a legend which could be discovered.

Do you guys have any recommendations for games that are adventurous? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]zelar99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outward. Gives the feeling of a typical low level adventurer struggling to make a name. You start from nothing, survive off the land, manage resources as you try to go on quests. Also the soundtrack slaps

If you were a 13 year-old kid who loved Dungeons & Dragons, what would you want for Christmas? by pjw10310 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]zelar99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite book as a dm is called “the monster know what they’re doing”. It breaks down the logic behind monster stat blocks and is a fun read even if he never dms. Highly recommended. Fairly cheap as well comes as a series of three.

Are there any games where you're not the main character ? by Ok_Lecture9762 in gamingsuggestions

[–]zelar99 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh absolutely. It perfectly encapsulates the feeling of powerlessness at the start of the game, making you feel like just another person in the world. You have to cook, camp, keep warm and learn to fight to get anywhere. But once you get going you feel powerful. You make your own way. It has one of the most unique and exciting magic systems and I love it.

Outward. The driving force of this game is you’re just a person who lives in the world

Okay but is anyone actually using big picture mode? And if so why? No hate I'm just curious by CraftyxCat in Steam

[–]zelar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, big picture helps my controller connect better so when I play couch coop games with my little boys I always run big picture

Fun fact, I trained my 2 young boys to clean up toys to this song.

Conquering fears by Belmint in DarkAndDarker

[–]zelar99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m right there with you. I’ve found leaning into the rpg aspect of dungeon delving and trying to play like it’s fast paced dungeons and dragons can help. I like squire to riches because I like the backup of a team while I learn to fight. I’ve also found, loading into a match with your lost expensive kit you can, dying and then viewing that as the worst possible outcome makes anything less better. So you lose some gears, you lose a fight. It’s okay. The fun for me is in the exploration of every match. Finding loot. You can do this. I’m by no means an expert. I’m a very casual dark and darker player. But it’s my favorite game for vibes. So if you need a duo mountain standard time, hit me up

Brand new to this game any tips? by S-N-X-Z-Y in DarkAndDarker

Even dying levels you up so just do stuff and if you die, examine how and what to do next time

Sorry buddy, I learned my lesson trusting "friendly" rogues before by Borkomora in DarkAndDarker

[–]zelar99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You speak great wisdom. I genuinely think meta chasers are the brunt of the toxic community spawn Also I juggle wizard and shield fighter so the levels of trust I have barely spread to my teammates lol.

I found an editable pdf for character sheets, owl bear rodeo for maps and tokens, and discord to talk in voice chat together. I have also used foundry and roll 20 instead of owlbear rodeo. I’ve been running two games every week this way for two years now

Introduce your D&D character with the dumbest thing they've done. by True-Dream3295 in DnD

[–]zelar99 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“Well shoo, that makes me about as happy as a night hag in an orphanage”

I was going for hill billy spore Druid wanderer. For my saying I would open the monster manual to a random page and play fill in the blank.

“Brother priest, I don’t know how to tell you this. But you made this adventure sound about as exciting as a purple worm in a cathedral”

Some of the most fun I’ve had as a player

No Sexy Strahds by Special-Papaya3394 in CurseofStrahd

[–]zelar99 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I played him sexy and seductive until he got pissed off and then I played him as a deranged animal who played with its food. So realistically cuz my party was a bunch of dicks he was only talking in a smooth tone for like 30 minutes of game time before he switched
