I make characters when I'm bored I've deleted many but nearly all have at least some semblance of backstory and personality. #dndcharacter#DnD#dndbeyond
Listening to NiN-Right Where It Belongs and thinking of a campaign that "ends" with the pcs waking up tubed very low level in a new system(maybe) and dealing with the ramifications of leading an entire different life, and how they ending up in this situation to being with.
Long Retired Warrior brought back into adventuring after a good deal of their skill and vitality had atrophied. Occasionally they have surges of their former glory in combat, and recently they been seeing the spirits of long dead allies. Ancestral Guardian Barbarian/Battlemaster.
Game idea mechanics, no multiclass but two archetypes simultaneously. Undead/Hexblade Warlock, Champion/Battlemaster Fighter, Armorer/Battle Smith Artificer, Moon and Stars Druid, Scribes Evoker, and the like is it balanced? No. Would it be fun? Remains to be seen. #DnD5e
@SamComerford24 My first campaign in 3.5 i had quests that were from wow and a plotline from Angel. I had not played wow at that point nor watched Angel. These were pointed out, and I was like "Huh, weird" There are no original ideas some one will always draw a correlation you didn't see.
@Stayonyourcouch When I was running online games I would use them to give something besides an overland map and to give an idea of the scale of the town. Oh this place is tiny we aren't finding a magic item super market here.
Has anyone done a Sharn adventure with inspiration from The Raid or Dread? Dungeon crawler where you are sealed in with a citizenry that fears to help you as you crawl up toward BBEG. #Eberron#TTRPG#DnD#DnD5e
@xerjester It's how I see them, also ran the magebred in Metrol this way. When I had a party meet them, they were mostly pastiche's of 80's Claremont X-men, and there was the 90's X-Men theme playing softly layered beneath the other music.
@Warlockdnd@adventurersrole I told a player I personally didn't feel comfortable with a slavery story they kept trying to put into their backstory. I am not going to force things on you don't force them on me.
@Warlockdnd@adventurersrole Durning a pregame interview with the player they started talking about IRL being misogynous. They held it together for all of 30 minutes saying everything they thought was right and then as soon as they thought they were in, they didn't think I would rescind their invite.
@XPtoLevel3 Last time I did something remotely close to that the character ended up willing drinking from the styx to forget their pain. They were then taken to the feywild by a nymph to live out the rest of their life in their now feebleminded state.
Nobody:
Me: Here is how the gnomes bound Quori to create a dreamscape that acts as a foundation of a globally accessible network for the storage and dissemination of information.
I had the gnomes make the internet.
#Eberron#DnD#DnD5e#TTRPG
@magistercaecus That is part of it. The general pop has no idea how it works. The gnomes are data mining. The inspired and quori are actively causing havoc. The kalashtar are scared because the same could happen with the quori within them. I really like pulling from cyberpunk for Eberron.
You can understand one another so it could fall in line with a Charisma (animal handling) (persuasion) (deception) or (intimidation) or a Wisdom (persuasion) (deception) or (intimidation) check. Already something I kind of do, but actually saying it some how makes it different3/3
Ever have something just click? Animal friendship charms an animal so you have advantage on social checks with them, but how can speak with animals help? 1/3
It shouldn't offer advantage because that steps on a much more focused non ritual spell, but it could allow for different avenues of interaction. Now you are not limited to a Wisdom (animal handling) check. 2/3
