    That's the most creative uses of yetis I ever seen 😍 I still remember that my players was supposed to look for a missing person but turns out that person is a were yeti and they can turn inflict their own lycantropy version on the players and one of my party has been infected. Trying to role play ad a apex predator!
    If I was ever in that situation I would use my shield as a sled or teleport myself on the yeti back and tie a rope around it to control it. Gotta show my dominance on those snowy primemates

    I used this adventure with the motivation being to remove a curse from Barbarian, it was lots of fun, with the adventure somehow ending with the party catching themselves in a bead of force to run down the avalanche and trying to steer it so that it can jump over the casm, after a fey stole the bridge they built. Thank you for making this, your ideas and videos rock.

    I ran this and it was so much fun. I made it so the wizard they got the quest from is using the yeti's glare as part of a mysterious ritual. He's gonna use it to awaken an ancient creature hidden beneath the mountains, and they just unwittingly helped him do it. Now they'll have to try to stop him!

    Greetings from the Yellow Rose Monastery! We sometimes run into Yetis while maintaining the watcher mounds. Some of our Rangers have them as a favored Enemy. Some just need a Dentist!

    Honestly, really love how nuts this yeti encounter can get, once again great job, Matt! :D
    As for my next challenge, make an Adult Amethist Dragon mad inventor encounter, where the lair is a lab filled with inventions on the verge of magic and space-age technology and the quest is to steal one of their experiments (a mech, a powerful explosive, or something else). Utilize all the bullcrap they can pull of, including being able to transform into a smaller creature and float around without wings as if gravity was turned off for them specifically.

    Hello! It seems UA-cam decided to not give me new notifications from your channel. Great work as always, and definitely a good encounter for the Holiday season. Sorry about my inactivity, etc. I hope you have a great holiday season. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t drop my hat into the ring again for suggestions.
    I keep seeing the great potential for a cloud giant encounter, but fail to come up with strong ideas? Maybe political intrigue would be a match, but I am really unsure.
    I am making sure I get notifications. I missed your content! Until next time.

    Love your content, you’re definitely one of the most promising up & coming D&D channels, I feel like I’m in on a secret early. I would love to see how you might plan an encounter with harpies. Alternatively, a more general video where you give input on what different assortments of monsters you think might pair well together for encounters would be super useful!

    Well done dude! I love this kind of video as I’ve been running a 4 year long campaign and while I’m a very good political campaign runner, my combat tends to be lacking.

    At first I was like "Dammit, used Yeti a week ago", but then "Wait a minute, party fought Yeti in an abandoned temple, and druide took Yeti Tyke dispaite great affort of the rest of the party convince him othervise". I guess, after they done with temple the chase is on! And yes, i used Chilling Gaze before the attack.

    Another amazing encounter, I absolutely love it! I do have a question though? I am trying to create a map for the Steep Cliff encounter and I am having a hard time envisioning what you mean, could you elaborate on how the layout would be?
    EDIT: Nevermind, you described it perfectly in the written edition, thanks!

  • @OneSpikeyGuy

    I know you probably have alot planned in terms of videos and such but have you ever thought of doing an encounter with humans/intelligent humanoids?
    Something like a noble and its guards, a group of assassins, a bandits ambush or a fight with pirates on a boat? Could have interesting mechanics and events.

    • @HiddenNerdySide

    Challenge make a ghost encounter were its questionable to let the spirit rest in peace.
    Like the spirit of best accountant the tax man has is still willing to work for free.
    The spirit of a bard singing at a pub raising the spirit of all in there.
    A vigilante and his never-ending crime fighting

  • @thesuperray9055
    @thesuperray9055 3 роки тому

    Odd idea. It would be a campaign long “encounter” where two very powerful and evil monsters are fighting: a lich and an ancient red dragon. Players must decide between the two evils to bring peace to the realm. There should be negative and positive consequences for either choice.

  • @loganfrandrup6590

    What if the players decide to capture a fully grown yeti?

    • @HiddenNerdySide
      @HiddenNerdySide  2 роки тому +1

      Then they have more work ahead of them! Haha.
      If they want to haul a big ol' yeti, that's totally fine. You could have the NPC say baby yeti eyes will work better if you really want that route to play out. But if they go for a bigger yeti - hey. It's their choice :) Let's 'em do it!
