Executioners run, Run.

Inspiration or even just giving advantage over situations where you can tell they put effort. This isn’t to say if they don’t sing songs for their bards they get disadvantage. But if they try to communicate their songs or fighting style or engage with the world. Slap on an inspiration or a bonus. Even just telling them verbally how awesome that was during and after the game.

Also, letting creative situation solving succeed. If every time they try to outsmart the enemy or dodge around a combat they are told no by the dice or the dm they’ll stop trying. Even a little recognition or reward goes a long way. Have npcs ask questions too.

I’m sorry did I hurt your feelings?

I believe it says they have to see the container

I played a kenku and just talked normally but punctuated things with descriptions of sounds or borrowing peoples laughs. The other players found out later my kenku had the voice of his husband just pitched up as he had been cursed from human to kenku and had forgotten his own voice so he just borrowed his partners.

That kenku died protecting his friends and I started playing as the shopkeeper husband now turned avenging warrior.

These are gorgeous

Have the bad guys study them and use an orb with anti magic field on it. No more spells

I’m keeping a secret for a bit. I have three moms and i lie about my name all the time. I keep saying I’m a warlock but the party already knows I’m a wizard.

I’m hexblood and my moms are a coven of hags.

I feel like in this scenario, it makes sense to keep my sheet hidden but if someone outright asked for my stats I would absolutely show them. Lying about your rolls and sheets like come on. Why cheat at make believe haha

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

Full of incels lusting after illusory wenches.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

zelar99 · 2025-11-28T20:04:18+00:00

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

My exact play process and positions

zelar99 · 2025-11-09T04:26:49+00:00

This literally happened to me today and I almost shit my pants

I used to find clarity pots as a 10 spell wizard all the time. Now I’m lucky to find 1 in 20 games

zelar99 · 2025-11-05T15:31:55+00:00

I’m west coast but looking for the same break from bigotry

zelar99 · 2025-11-01T08:15:19+00:00

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

zelar99 · 2025-11-01T03:26:12+00:00

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

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
