Great one. Encounters and Dungeons are definitely something I struggle with. Seems like your Channel provides some valuable insight into your process.

and his name is splinter and he has 4 sons

Aboleth, Kuo-Toa, Deepspawn Otyughs all come to mind. The plane doesn't need a sun but could have a weird otherworldly diffused light that emanates from a leaden sky. Dark Sun meets Domains of Dread, Weird "technology" and designs for common features like ships with a decidedly predatory or insectile quality or strange twisted spires/towers.

This video helped me unblock a villain motivation in my campaign. Thank you so much!

This is so helpful! Thank you! I was making grids in such a complicated way, so this is a game changer 🎉

I often struggle to prepare modules when I want to run them, so this guide is really helpful. Thank you! You've definitely gained a like and a sub today!

Yes! Encounter design should be level design! Thank you!

Totally agree traps in encounters add exciting depth! I think you gotta be careful with traps in combat encounters, but you can pull it off and make the encounter more engaging. They can feel really “cheap” to players if they aren’t foreshadowed well, and considering most players only get to act with agency once every 2-10m due to combat rounds that would feel even worse.

Lovin these dungeon express vids 🤩

That was pretty cool. Keep it up.

Seven deadly sins called they want their love story back. (I know they don't have a shop, but they do have a pub on a pig)

Great vid!! Definitely using this layout for my pirate campaign coming up

Id hate to ruin the perfect 666 Subs and 333 Views but someone has to.

Nice, I'll have to be a sorcerer or something in my next session

Great advice to be a fun, dynamic GM. Whenever combat comes down to "who can reduce the other side's hit points faster," then the GM has failed. Every encounter should serve the story, there is no time for wasted scenes, and every action should support the purpose of the scene. Know what your scene is doing in the narrative and keep a laser-focused on that. Use that information to help guide the action

Could I make a magic user who has a really weak body, but what is great at magic? If so, how would I handle the stats with that? Would I keep the constitution low or high?

This is a fantastic step-by-step. Love it.

Great idea!

This was awesome! Any other cool ideas coming up?

Dudes dope

This dude is an awesome DM that host D&D games on StartPlaying. It’s an awesome way to play d&d if it’s hard finding a group around your area.

yay ❤ subscribed

Hi RJ! I just stumbled upon your channel and this series and I am enchanted by the insights I receive from you working through your own process. I hope your channel will grow quickly to match the quality of your content. One question though: You kind of pointed towards the fact, that the Hags would stop the players if they simply walk away. Wouldn't that be exactly railroading them into one specific outcome? And maybe one feedback: the recording volume of your voice is quite low in this series. Maybe turn it up a notch in the future :)

Awesome! I love this!

Wow this is perfect. I just found you and I wanted to check more of your content. I've recently thought about using krita for map making but I'm still very new to everything, this is very helpful. Thank you!

Just wondering, is there a reason you didn't use the original planescape factions for Sigil? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faction_(Planescape)

Also, the pawnshop have your characters ask if they have the items

How long are your sessions? This is an incredible process that I'd absolutely steal for a full campaign based in one city (e.g. Ravnica, Cyberpunk, any WoD campaign ever) but for an open table with a loop around leaving and coming back to the city, I'd worry about my players getting bogged down in the home base and running out of actual adventure time. We tend to go for 4 to 4.5 hours biweekly.

Just found this series and a BIIIG piece of advice: get the playlist for this series in order. Part 1 should be on top, not on the bottom. Make everything in order. Once your playlist for this series is fixed I'll try and give it a watch :)

Environment is also huge. It's going to determine or at least inform everything about the town/city. If its a town on a river, for instance, everything is going to be different compared to a mountain town. For me I always make it step 1 especially since in the context of improv, environment is likely already decided. If something is on a river its probably going to be larger and have great farming, trade, and transportation options whereas if its in the middle of mountains its probably poorer/smaller and relies heavily on logging and mining with another larger neighboring city they rely on for materials and trade.

My trap is simple.... The player falls into a pit of darkness.... There will be an IMMEDIATE OBVIOUS SMELL all around them... If they use any sort of spark or fire or flame of any kind... The gas will have a chance to be lit.... The pit will also be filled with slimes resistant to physical and magical attacks but weak to fire........ So they have to find a happy medium of fire attacks and not blowing up.... They can risk it all or try to brute force the slimes with physical attacks that do next to nothing.... Also they will be fighting in complete darkness unless they use a light source..... Like a torch......

Haven't DM'd yet, but thinking that if I can't figure out a way to dissarm a trap, I present it in a one-shot, and wait until one of the players comes up with a solution I like!

in a DnD game i was the DM for, i had a minefield with elemental magic mines, the intention was for the group to use dispel magic but the barbarian of the group just decided to sprint through the minefield

Watching this knowing damn well I’m too lazy to make a game

First 😅 always wanted to do that... Now that I've indulged my inner child YAY next installment.

could you assist me on which video you discuss the cornell-style note taking?

This reminds me of w baytle i partaked in at lvl one where ee just murdered some alley robbers (i was a warlock)😂

I need more for a Playlist please. Thank you

Great info! Thank you for sharing.

I have written mysteries. I am helping AxalKay write a mystery for The Thirty Moons System. In that system rolling is not super important. All mysteries can be solved by asking the right questions. You can roll to get help. The rule we have is you must be able to solve the mystery wothout rolling. It must be written in a way that encourages rolling.

Eh, if you really do not have backstory prepared? Your character is now amnesiac. They know their name (subject to change, since it's a name they chose for now, not their real one), they have their things... but they do not know anything else. After that, you can either prepare the backstory for next session and slip it to DM, or get with GM after first session to brainstorm it together and weave it into what DM wants to do with the campaign. Then, it gets revealed bit by bit as your character's quest for their lost identity progresses.

BATMAN!!
