Awesome 👍

Thank you sir

How do you do that but online? It's hard to tell when people are and are not done talking on discord😅.

Yay! Go Jesus

This made me realize, the word "plot twist" says it already itself, a twist of the PLOT, it's in the name! A plot twist is different to a turn in the story.

Man when im making a Homebrew one I completely forgot about some lore so i have to find a way to throw it in later

Yea, this is helpful because I just throw the plot at them like a brick

I'm about to start my first campaign as a DM in a few weeks, and these are very helpful tips :) I'll run the Dragon of Icespire Peak and I've been thinking about how to start it for a few days now ^^ Thank you for your advice

I have a plot twist in my campaign where at the beginning, the party is put through a short simulation to test their skills. At the end of the campaign, it is revealed that the whole thing was the simulation.

Maybe the merchant has been secretly smuggling equipment for the Resistance and the villain is trying to turn that operation to his own ends.

Well as a dm i love when my players propose theyre own adventures or events roleplaying theyre characters, i improvise if i need bases on what they like to do

Okay, the pixel art is really awesome, and well done.

DM "your party meet together in town" P1 "okay" P2 "cool" DM ... P2 "um.... what now?" DM "you can do anything you want." P1 "Anything?" DM "Anything." P1 "Even-" DM "Anything." P2 "What do we do?" P1 "its okay, we'll figure something out." DM "what will you do?" P1 "Can we go to a tavern?" DM "You can do ANYTHING you want." P2 "I'm scared." P1 "Let's go to the tavern. That sounds nice, right?" P2 * nods * P1 "We go to a tavern." DM "okay... your charcters go to a Tavern." P1 * sigh in relief * DM "... then what?" P2 "no! I can't! Not again!" DM "What will you do? So many choices." P2 * cries * DM "What. Will. You. Do?" P1 "I'LL CAST A SPELL." DM "Oh, how very decisive of you. Which one?" P1 "I...um..." DM "So many spells to choose from." P1 "um... um...." DM "Will it be this one, or that one..." P1 * starts to panic * DM "Which one. Which one." P1 "I KNOW." DM "???" P1 "I know which spell I'll cast." DM "But, how? There are too many choices." P1 "It's easy. Its the go-to spell for any situation." DM "No, you couldn't have." P2 "hurry." P1 "I." DM "No!" P1 "Cast." DM "No, No, No" P1 "FIREBAL- DM "COUNTER SPELL!"

One of my fellow adventurers had a character named Noodle and he died after we got thrown into a fight that our dm accidentally sent us into it under leveled. My character being the guy he is ( his whole bit is eating everything) ate him. My friend made a new character named Alfredo and he was a super old character who was Noodles teacher. We told Alfredo that Noodle lives in a new restaurant called my stomach and helps out there... (My characters name is Walmart because we have very funny names and Walmart is a cleric who isn't the smartest and also has a spell that does d10×4 damage 😭)

I like this idea!

extra note this only works if the game is story based and all i am in a campaign its more open world in a world the dm designed entirely there are good and bad entities but the party is just a part of the world not the hero's destined to save it or anything we as a party choose were to go and what to do.

This is a challenge that DM’s face while playing dungeons and dragons. Good way to get around this is to properly flesh out the entire world or the area were it takes place. This is hard, but if your campaign pretty much stays inside a certain country, this is a lot easier to do.

Rewarding creativity: Instead of going to the dungeon to get the treasure, the characters return to the village to stock up on supplies. The market is crowded at this time, but perhaps because of some odd inkling of the gods your party overhears a party of shady characters talking about some kind of ritual and an evil terror without being exposed... ff... your decision to return either destroyed one town or another, either an evil cult succeeded in their ritual or the boss of the dungeon managed to unseal a treasure of immeasurable power unleashing a wave of monsters upon the unsuspecting town. Isn't it odd how a simple decision to, instead of challenging a dungeon, return for groceries has caused the fates of so many to change and suffer. For you see had you ventured into the depths, a party of like-minded adventurers would have found out about the cultist and stopped them.

I just going to panic mode

Total freedom means if the player gets bored it is confirmed as their fault... Hey, YOU rejected the story the DM presented to spite them, so you get what you deserve.

So yes, fireball will eventually solve every puzzle.

He paid for the whole desk so he’s going to use the whole desk

One time my dm forced my party to be in this room with a bunch of mist that makes people dissipate (he got mad at us when we didn’t assume that meant it was the was out. Asshole.) we were bound down and I tried to lick my way out. He got mad at my ingenuous move and he tried to get me killed for NOT being boring. (Asshole.)

In a DnD setting we were trapped on an island. There was one guarded port and some ruins on top of the mountain. The DM wanted us to go to the ruins but of course no one of us wanted to go there. In our mind they were just ruins and the way to get off an island is ships so we went to the harbour. After two frustrating sessions of us not knowing what to do and he frustrated that we didn't want to check out the ruins we had an irl talk, cleared up the misunderstanding and the campaign continued.

a buddy and player of mine found you, and linked me this. You bring up some pretty good ideas, I'll try to keep them in mind.

I would say that if a player creates a plan and oneshots a boss, don't take that away from them by forcing the boss to survive. Let it happen, and make the next one stronger.

I've just found your channel and I'm so glad you are doing this!! Thanks for all your advice!! :)

The easiest way to make Boss Fights dangerous is using lots of allies: mooks, bruisers, and specialists.

Naaaa, my townspeople are racist(players don't know yet)

Yeah, I'm commenting for the algorithm. This is a perfect example of how a DM should reflect on their encounters to help them make sense in the world and build suspension of disbelief.

These are really good tips you deserve more views

The best monsters to hunt are the friends we made along the way

These are some great tips! This will help me improve immensely

The fun of the heist mission is all in the planning phase. They should be able to have access to enough info to be able to make a plan that they feel will be perfect. And then it gets REALLY fun when a LITTLE BIT of their info is wrong -- JUST ENOUGH that the plan has enough of a hitch that they have to think on their feet.

Ok this is going to help
