If you need to “cheat” (e.g. fudging a roll because you made your monster way too powerful) then never tell the players, it will only ruin their sense of immersion.
Try to do voices, players love them even if they’re shit and it helps distinguish the NPCs. The voices don’t have to be remotely good and you don’t need to be good at accents, just try things like “gruff voice” for the grizzled mercenary or “weirdly enthusiastic” for the mad old wizard.
Grimsbury, an English town of occult activity and otherworldly encounters. Didn’t really need to add the ur, eh?
Any of Grant Howitt’s single-page RPGs, great if you just need something fun at short notice
Use this as an opportunity to set the tone for your campaign and introduce the players to the world. What sort of races/professions/attitudes are common? Have your initial NPCs representing them.
These sound like great prompts for an Acquisitions Incorporated game, or maybe something set in Discworld
This sounds cool! Are you going for serious or silly? If serious then you don’t even need to use the word Krampus, you could just describe it when they see it and see if anyone works it out. If not then you can definitely give a series of silly clues like finding naughty lists, hearing chains, coal dust on the corpses etc.
This is a tabletop/pen-and-paper RPG, not a video game!
For d&d? 5e.tools’s DM screen on a laptop is excellent, it has an encounter tracker, calendar, dice roller, and I can pin whatever rules and statblocks I need this week.
Also a giant battle mat is really useful.
Ring of invisibility. Doesn’t grant the wearer invisibility, it’s just invisible. If encountered in a shop the shopkeeper will be unable to find where they left it.
Aussie, come on man the clue was the OP!
I’ve played several TTRPGs where I died in space but not that particular one. Similar vibe to this?
Technically they’re all “correct”, just that octopodes is the most correct and coolest sounding
I don’t, but whoever they are I look down on them from atop a giant dwarf
(Also at level 18 you can become even larger)
Who needs friends? A level 3 duergar rune knight can use giant’s might and enlarge person to become huge in one turn, and then action surge to get wrestling right away!
For complete clarity, the Kickstarter will not offer beans, accept beans, or trade beans. This will be a beanless Kickstarter. A bean free experience.
Ah, just when I thought it could be popular on Lemmy
Just ask your friends? Most of them probably know nothing of the game but hopefully will be up for giving it a go!
Indeed, hence the description and it being here in the joke community
Guess those potions were to strong for him
