@Gareth101@D4vidBlake@ToddKenreck@meagankenrekt I like that. Obviously mathematically a player has a greater chance to score max damage with a single die roll doubled than with two dice rolled. Is max damage not the goal on a crit? That’s why I generally have them roll one die and double it.
Marketing your music and marketing your podcast are similar: yeah there’s luck and advertising and all the rest involved, but FIRST, DO YOU HAVE A QUALITY PRODUCT? Is the SONG good? Is the PODCAST professional? Gotta be job 1. @buzzsprout helps big time. #podcast#dndpocast
@albinokid Be SUPER stingy with magic items! One of the most common novice DM mistakes is giving an over-powered magic item that seems fun at the time, but ends up short-circuiting a lot of things later in the campaign. Those Boots of Fly are gonna come back to haunt ya!
@albinokid Make sure your players are all on the same page that D&D can’t be “won” (not getting killed and taking the least possible damage, for instance) or “lost” (getting killed). It’s about PLAYING YOUR CHARACTER. Win/lose players spread that virus to others and kills the good time.
@albinokid Don’t Don’t DON’T feel like you the DM have to have all the info at your fingertips. Repeat after me: “Oooh that’s a cool spell choice! Good cast! Now give me a quick sketch of what it does and what YOU want it to do here.” And, “Solid hit! How much damage does a falchion do?”
@albinokid Listen and watch other DMs on things like podcast Twitch, but then TOSS that out and be YOU! Every DM needs just a bit of arrogance; the sense that YOUR table is as fun as ANYBODY else’s and your players are lucky to be at yours.
Playing games like D&D can be highly THERAPEUTIC, but nothing can take the place of getting the help you need from a trained professional. Don’t wait if you need to. Shame free living. #nosubstitues#dnd#dmlife#nostigma#mentalhealth#dndpodcast
Are you a veteran? Active? Maybe need some counseling? An ear who’s been there? Someone to GAME with?? @StackUpDotOrg has a 24/7 program via @discord that’s awesome. We talk ‘em up each week and have vets and military in our cast. They’re great. #dnd#gamers#veterans#podcast
