Do you use the generator from AD&D? Do you use the mothership "boxes connected by lines" method? Do you use the Mythic Bastionland hexagon method? Maybe you just grab something random off DysonLogos? Something else?
what do you usually find yourself doing/using to craft a dungeon?
do you have any methods or creative tricks for coming up with quests that are more interesting than the standard "go kill this guy" or "go find this thing in a goblin den"?
I signed the Water not Coal petition the other day and had a very blackpilling moment while doing so... I thought "man, even if this petition got majority support, the UCP wont give af... they'll just NWC it or disregard it in someway and do whatever they want"
i feel like the levers of democracy just dont exist anymore... i feel like we live in under an authoritarian regime.
the worst part is, i remember seeing polling not long ago that if the election was held today, theyd still get a majority.
how do you find hope under this insanity?
Say for example the PCs must travel through a spider forest to reach the dungeon location…
Do you just roll some random encounters and otherwise just say, “after some amount of travel, you arrive”?
Do you create a point-crawl of some kind through the forest itself?
Do you have one or two pre-planned encounters or set pieces to make the environment feel like a real place, before they arrive at the dungeon?
How do you engage with something like this?
sorry, im not super knowledgeable on US politics, but not sure how dems ever win again with such consolidation of power on the right
I remember I saw one awhile ago for rune enchanting… what was that? Are there other interesting downtime crafting resources?
There are so many systems out there for populating your hexcrawl sandbox, what do you use? what procedure do you follow?
Not sure if this is the right place? Please redirect me if not. But looking for a drummer. Jam space is north west side. DM me if interested or wanting an example of the kind of music we play (mostly rock originals, inspired by everything from Nirvana to Geese to Zappa etc)
My 7 players were ambushed by 23 bandits out in the swamp. They managed to talk their way out of being killed on the condition that they help the bandits kill a pack of (6) 8HD giant lizards that are terrorizing the bandits camp.
Ok… so, I can roll the attacks for the lizards no problem, but im looking for a more efficient way of handling 30 people making individual attacks on the other side of the equation.
Thoughts?
many important orgs in the conservative movement (the federalist society, the heritage foundation etc...) and even high ranking people in the current administration (Russel Vought, Stephen Miller etc...) seem to be big proponents of the Unitary Executive Theory.
Even amongst many normie conservatives ive talked to, they seems to really hold to the ideal that the president shouldn't be checked by any other forms of accountability, at least inside the executive branch.
Is this really a widespread belief in conservative circles? and if so, why is this something you are a fan of? As a liberal, it does not compute why someone would want to centralize power into one person, as opposed to de-centralizing it.
i struggle with monster reaction rolls that come up as "hostile, may attack"... how do you handle this? how do you decide if they actually attack or not? do you give players the option to just back away and not engage?
The creator of Shadowdark came out with an oracle that essentially has three results, yes, no and a twist (which sends you to an accessory page to randomly generate a confounding factor to the situation).
I’m looking at Mythic Oracle and see it’s quite extensive, 100+ pages! Is it realistically going to offer me something above and beyond the simple shadowdark oracle that will justify the purchase?
Curious what yall do… procedures, resources etc.
I understand there’s a sub for this but I’m curious y’all’s opinions
im a forever DM and feeling burnt out, not sure if I should take a break from TTRPGs for awhile or just from DMing
If it was the exact same music, but instead of the funky costumes, they were just dudes in Tshirts and jeans... would anyone have really paid that much attention?
i've been really thinking about aesthetics contribution to music...
same thing with the White Stripes... do you think if it was just Jack and Meg as regular looking people they wouldv'e gotten as big? I feel like their hard tri-color aesthetic really helped in their popularity
