I don't care for theater of the mind play but I also think the more abstracted out the game is the more immersive it gets. I find lots of immersion problems with 3d terrain and VTTs.

Personally since I have aphantasia I require some kind of visual aid otherwise I won't be able to keep track of literally anything in combat and will have to start every turn with several questions. largely I don't care what it is were looking at as long at it tells me where everyone is and if there's something that'll stop me from killing them

I have taken to using a VTT for in-person games. Special attention must be given to describing vertical spaces. I have found that less detailed maps with a rich verbal description work better for holding verisimilitude high.

You forgot to subtract 20 points for the VTT since it is the least social way to play D&D.

I've only ever DM'd through VTT, but I'd love to try making some DIY elements (if only to use up all the foam core I have lying around...) Another great video, and love the new look!

🥳🫂👍🏿

Cheap grid paper: Many Christmas paper wrap has an almost 1x1 grid on the back.

We use a TV table connected to a laptop for maps but I also make terrain to put on top of the maps and of course as an insane dm I have around 3k miniatures. It's just the best overall set up I've ever used and it's very easy with all the maps available online now. The terrain I build takes a looong time but it looks good, always gets a big reaction from my players and is a fun and relaxing hobby for me.

Another excellent video. Always cool getting to see your DIY set-up! The modularity is so enticing

I feel like Theater of the mind is the most threatening sounding, but is beter then it seems, for the Price of a dream is a hard line though

I read that as "ruin combat" for a second.

What film?

As a dm, I let my party try to convince a very young white dragon wyrmling to come with them as a pet. They succeeded, because of course they succeeded. She was being attacked by diseased wolves and the party saved her. Her mother had fallen to the same disease which was demonic in nature. To keep things balanced she is terrified of combat, largely due to almost dying at the fangs of the wolves, and runs and hides at the first sign of real trouble. She’s mostly a cute npc for them to role play with.

Ay I was born july 7 and my favorite class is paladin

Frigid Jest the Alabaster Apocalypse. Honestly, as much as the Jest part perfectly fits me as a person, it's hard to imagine something with that name being considered any kind of apocalypse...

easy, why kill a White Dragon, They threatened the Groups favourite Npc, and we went into Powergame mode to Kill it No one hurts the bean and lives

That chart literally gives me "Geilidon" LOL! The exact same name as Matt Mercer's LOL! That's the first day of spring btw...

What about Sunder? I want to be able to break and destroy my opponents hand held objects, weapons, shields, and armor.

Rimera crushes a human skull as they step forward. My Silver Dragon in disguise paladin. "oh you just fucked up, now prepare to meet tiamat in avernus"

We just had to fight three hags at once in my current campaign, we managed to get through with no one dying AND broke one character's mom's deal with one of them

In a past west marches campaign, we had two specific characters that dealt the most with hags. One had a hag curse him and it was this whole arc dealing with his backstory and how he (a pirate) was being haunted by this hag and cursed to die at sea and all this cool jazz, it was really a compelling story, especially since my character and his were married, so I got to play a decent part in it. The other guy was inexplicably attracted to every hag he came across and wanted to romance them even at the expense of his own life, and we had to make it a point to end the hags before he had the chance to get himself killed 😂 all in good fun though, the player did it as a joke so he never actually got mad about not getting to romance a hag.

Spontaneous angry mobs are typical of Stage 4 Hag infections. Just how long have the PCs been ignoring (or supporting) the Hag's activities? What hook is presented to a Party when they encounter such a mob as they enter town for the first time?

Winter doom, the bane of summer

Black Dragons are cool especially Cynder and Alduin.

So many ideas

@2:03 BAD LUCK BOOTSY!!??

Graze is about to be my new best friend

is the information out somewhere, or was it like a early creator access thing?

Sounds like it could work with 5e

i'm still be using 3.5e soooo....

A fighter with graze seems like a bane of Wizards. Forget your magearmor and shield spells, because you will take damage and you will roll for concentration!

Love the concept like we see in many houserules, homebrews and even BG3 - hoping it won’t slow things down in combat 🤞🏿- I think it’d be interesting to making infinite cantrips something specific to say warlock instead of just everyone

First to like but hopefully not the last

Beldam Tree Eyes The Pox Spreader!

My current hag npc is a "sun-baked crone", based off of the typically Floridian women who are at least in their late 50s, look like they're in their mid 80s from years of UV damage, yet still dress like they're in their early 20s. (Her bellybutton is visibly pierced, and it is VERY infected.) Now, seal the deal and kiss the toe ring.

Babushka Rotten Maw The Cackling Crone, great. She just needs a person name to go with those titles ahahah.

Cool What if the javelin misses?

Definitely learned a lot here! So many neat ideas
