Alternatively you could say theyre "on deaths door"

this video could not have showed up in my feed at a better time, im boutta DM my first game soon and your advice is allowing me to feel less nervous about it, thank you!

This could easily be saved by having another goblin show up to check on the others he would see the adventures and run back to tell his boss the party chases after him bam

I hope my DM doesn't see this

I think when i was new to dm I was always worried about not having enough prepped. I think having some basic prep done and then a table or two for if you need ideas can help you get through that. If you really got stuck it's OK to call for a quick 5 or 10 minute break.

You are not writing a novel. What happened is what the players wanted to happen. Player Agency > Prep.

This is an awesome idea! The players getting the chance to run an enemy in a small encounter is such a good mental shakeup, and I’m sure you have great buy-in. Also, love the way you filmed and lit the foreground and background.

That's an awful example of subverting which isn't a mistake. It wasn't their current quest, it was a random encounter. The players dealt with it. The only mistakes is that you wanted something specific to happen. That's not the DMs job, as I see it. You have to have multiple endings to a scenario, otherwise the characters decisions and actions in the story are worthless.

I loved this just used it in one of my campaigns went great!

"I know a guy" is the Contact Rules from Shadowrun just worse

The things to worry about: A player optimizing and ruining all encounters for you and the rest of the party Players just staying in the starting tavern eating rations, then you got to make stuff happen Players meta gaming and getting mad that your "lore" isn't accurate to their "lore" Running out of content, playing 2 hours and then players wanting to go for 8 more hours ...

You did good, NOW they walk back and notice a support back crew of goblins walking their way. Bum solved. It's a little railroad but unexpected. You can even roleplay the goblins arguing if they are going the right direction to meet their camp. So you still have your goblin encounter but in a different setting and style. Same Shit different toilet. :)

Six is the boat is like yellow for the electric and that beard like the color of the ship and his clothes brown

Great! Sadly I'm paying curse of strahd

Hey Ryan, I've been hoping into your streams for a few weeks now. Just wanna say thanks for continuing to put stuff out. It is nice to watch while I paint or craft and also while I work on school stuff. I am finishing up my masters and this is just enough stimulus to allow me to be productive without noticing just how much work I am actually doing

Massive temptation to turn that gravestone shield into an artifact idea. Perhaps something that leeches temp hp from the area when creatures hit 0 hit points, and their names and deeds become etched on it for a short time... EDIT: Better idea, it stores these names and then it can be used to cause some sort of spell-like effect of some sort! Maybe something simple as being able to unleash a spell like Arms of Hadar or Summon Undead or something?

Love the minis and how you organized this encounters! The small subtle clues especially anticipating the pcs smell the poison....chef's kiss!

From where can I get foam boards in Ahmedabad india pls tell me I can't access dollar tree

i FREAKING LOVE how organized it iss more video pleaseeee

The ol Pawn Stars rule.

"the game in their way" thats called rail roading buddy

This is epic bosses written by the dungeon dudes.

my brick right in the center <3

Huh, this is actually very similar to something I do with my custom game system. I have a mechanic called 'Last Stand', where any elite combatant (boss, miniboss, or PC) can choose to activate Last Stand when they're standing alone against multiple enemies whose combined levels exceed their own. Once activated, it gives them an immediate boost of temporary hit points, and an action in between each player's action. It acts as a natural second phase for bosses, and enables players to occasionally pull a Boromir.

Thanks!

Holy...😮

Good setup, but who has the space and money for all these pieces of doll house furniture

Nah this is the moment you follow through with what you’ve built. Threaten the town with goblins, the players didn’t find the camp to prevent the attack

Hi Ryan, I’m a big fan of your content. I wanted to know where do you recommend finding minis to print? I’m getting into printing but having a hard time finding what I want. Thanks!

What do you make all those rocks and trees out of?

Oh man, love that dragon idea of exchanging the magic or a true.

Over the summer I worked on a fey villain for hours on stream (Mister Twister, for those who were around for those streams). I hope to be able to release that dungeon and the puzzle terrain in the near future. Do you have a favorite fey character in your world?

Short Answer:hombrew

Still wouldn't push me to use it. An I know a guy card is much more powerful than some small secret to go along with it. Plus you could fall into the issue of "Why does X get a cool weapon and I just get exposition..."

Amazing I’m stealing this forever

can i just say, you being happy but not OVER THE TOP is just.. a really nice change. Thank you, friend. You get a sub.

"Then every decision the players thought they were going to make on their turn will be reconsidered." Soo make them take longer to take their turns because players are super indecisive already.

Excellent advice for new GMs!

Looks very good!

Quite the bridge! Made by hand?

Great video! (I'd appreciate if you left the question on the screen for the entire duration of your answer)

Search up wombat poop then I’ll get back to you on that “nothing in nature is square” idea

I never really knew some players had to deal with DMs that made the game “Players Vs DM.” That suddenly hit me when I watching a campaign. The DM was going out of his way to torture the players; to the extent it seemed no one was having fun after a while. I tuned out midway, because it just wasn’t fun to see; couldn’t imagine playing with him. Yes the DM needs to enforce rules, and yes they can’t just hand players the game - but they should be making a grand story everyone loves first and foremost.

Very cool idea

"At this point only a lock pick or a climb through the window will get them in" "Umm excuse me, big bad Gruk the Barbarian laughs in the face of your puny locked door. Gruk casts HAMMER!!" "Gruk, you're not a spell caster" *Gruk starts smashing his maul against the door, rapidly reducing it to splinters* "See...big bad Gruk cast Hammer spell, door unlocked."

Hey great video! Earned a like from me :) just wanted to give some constructive criticism on some video making stuff: I personally also love the hollow knight soundtrack, but some boss themes feel a bit off playing while you’re just peacefully speed drawing, so maybe you could settle for more laid back songs, more “queens garden” and less “haunted foes” still, this might just be a personal preference thing, do whatever you want 👍 secondly, maybe instead of playing the same song over and over when you have a particularly long speed draw, you could switch the music up a bit to steer clear from annoying repetition. Overall great video, wish you the best! :)

Very cool!
