    Where do you gain inspiration for these creative encounters that you mention? like the library shadows or the mirror demon battle on the skyship? Any pieces of media or resource that you can recommend for coming up with these kinds of encounters that are puzzle-like in nature?

      Mmmm so I am always taking mental notes of cool things I watch in media and always ask myself "how can i make this encounter More than just a beat em up encounter." Typically I will look at the lore of the place and what would make sense thematically. So I wanted a "librarian" or one fight, I knew she was dead so then it was a case of lookong for a scary undead to put in their place.
      But in terms of media- gosh- some great video games out there are: It takes two, every encounter in baldur's gate 3, FFIX, Outer wilds, Tomb Raider (the old ones)- these are just a few games but each one of them gets you to think about thjngs a little differently. They all bring something fresh to their encounters. And that's usually what i look for whenever I want to consume media 😅 I'm almost always looking for something that does something new :P
      Some great shows, movies etc that inspire me too would be~ I dunno off the top of my head:
      Mind Game, Every season of JoJos Bizzare Adventure, Death Parade, Paprika, Mob Psycho 100, Berserk, FLCL, (I am looooving Delicious Dungeon) ooof- uuum and then asside from Anime: Into the Spiderverse, Bullet Train, The Princess Bride, The Breakfast Club, Knives Out, Glass Onion, all of the John Wicks, Everything everywhere all at once, Dune, anything by Wes Anderson, Bladerunner, Django Unchained, Mad max Fury Road, Drive, all of the Ghiblis, heist movies and con movies are big for me- gosh the list is endless.
      Moral of the story- if you see something cool, take note of it, ask yourself how they did that. Break down media and absorb as much as you can and you'll find yourself training those creative muscles faster than you think. Applying those ideas and writing them down is essential too

    Finally getting into high level dnd. My players are 14th level post Descent into Avernus, ran a two shot that turned into a five sessions of dungeon crawling and combat. It was fun but definitely saw how hit point battles can become a slog. This video contained a lot of great advice!

    I also wish to say my suggestion for a future Goblin UNscripted episode is you talking about everything that you love or dislike about each class and subclass

    This was amazing!!! I ran a "Champion Games", hunger games style event in my campaign. It gave my low level players a taste of high level magic items and serious foes to encounter. Their reward was a visit to an Oracle wish showed them their past present and future in the eyes of the BBEG, tangling his web of chaos throughout their experiences. It was great, but now they are power hungry for stronger loot 😅

    • @TheUglyGoblin
      @TheUglyGoblin  8 місяців тому

      Aw that sounds so so cool! I remember trying to run a hunger games style game in my teens and it didn't quite work- simply because everyone split up and went different ways xD

    • @TheUglyGoblin
      @TheUglyGoblin  8 місяців тому
