@PlurpA Hello,
Sorry to bother you

I’d like to commission you for a Thumbnail cover, but it seems your DMs are closed.

Do you have any open spots?
Thanks!

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@akkator006 Go ahead!

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@mywifeisthemc For now it will be for Steinhardt’s backers, and will be shared with the public later

The balancing of Magic Items in D&D is… creative to say the least

Most of it makes sense, but then we get:

Periapt of proof against poison: poison + poisoned immunity, NO attunement → rare

Ring of poison resistance: only resistance to poison, attunement → also rare

Wtf

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@RPGBOTDOTNET Agreed, this is insane, on monks in particular.

Bonus action flurry of blows for 2 grapple attempts

Action put a set of chains.

Then the druid can cast heat metal and it’s a death sentence.

Especially since once chained, you can keep putting on more chains as an action…

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@_ChrisLeeBear @SaintMelancholy You can cast spells as a behemoth yes. They count as clubs only for the purpose of damage and shillelagh, otherwise they function as regular hands, though slightly larger

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@CcrawlerArt @inprnt Oh hey, I’ve seen those somewhere ;)

@Synchro_Sola Appreciate the support!

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

@sterlingvermin Same thing with the new exhaustion mechanics

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

Flight is a 3rd level spell, the broom of flying gives it to you an unlimited amount and is uncommon item.

Fireball is a 3rd level spell, necklace of fireball gives you max 9 casts of it and is rare.

The broom should be at least rare, if not very rare.

Here's another beast I think I never posted on twitter.

It will appear on Steinhardt's guide :)

I’ve had amazing sessions as a GM

I’ve had amazing sessions as a Player.

I’ll choose GM every time, the sheer joy you can reach is just incomparable.

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

Sometimes I spend more time worrying about content I need to create,

than time it actually takes me to create the content.

Delay in actions is a killer.

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

As a GM:

Lift your players into the spotlight, and then vanish

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

To add to this.

This is why I really like Reddit.

They don’t use gloves, it keeps you sharp with your content.

There are of course bad takes on there as well, but on average.

[MonkeyDM | Dr Mascaro Evan @MonkeyDM4]

As a TTRPG creator the quickest way to make it is Reddit.

I made my first $1000 from there.

That being said, Reddit will also tear you and your content to shreds, and they’re not always wrong.

If you learn though, they will become fierce defenders.

As someone who feels like crap after doom-scrolling on their phone

I find that switching my phone to greyscale is a great way to make it less enticing.

Apps are a lot more boring without color.
