I mean, that is sort of unavoidable in the sense that full elven society is based on alienation from other races, as opposed to half elves, but I also think that there can be some unique views on magic, religion, etc. that are very strange. I think Elder Scrolls is quite good at differentiating elves without making one of them wholly evil or good, nor peaceful with humans. I guess I could make them quite fascinated in certain subjects. Knowing everything about a specific thing as a hobby and being enthusiastically interested, but also a bit weird about human society. Almost as if someone is incredibly fascinated by your burial rituals, talking about them like they might go out of fashion soon while you think about all the family you had to deal with losing. They might not even care about this generation, talking about how events that unfold now will affect future generations, etc. Midig fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Nov 26, 2019 |

Midig posted:I thought elves settled the land by the aid of their goddess, who helped them escape an old land that was befallen by evil. The land was filled with mist and darkness. They were, however, masters of magic, and would eventually connect the moon and the sun with their realm/land, etc. In this way, the sun and the moon are not necessarily existing orbiting mass. But a sort of phase of magic through another realm concentrating power. Same with the stars. The realms connect to these powers through constructs, huge towers hidden by old magic of mist obscuring and protecting it. The evil from the previous world was of their making. Having gained political control of this world with their atrocities, they're trying to keep the others in line by shaping the telling of history, so that, if they were to unite against the elves, it will be too late to stop this world's corruption. The foul magic used against the humans wasn't them simply being ignoble, it was a return to form.

I personally think that elves were the first who were thirsty for demonic magic and developed necromancy to combat humans since their lesser numbers meant they had to mitigate casualties in war along with not being so keen on dying in war when you can live forever. In fact, just their longevity was enough for them to dismiss human suffering as just a temporary blight, necessary to keep elven society from being overrun. I think dwarves, however, might have been the best at oaths and curses. First paladins, a particularly powerful dwarf, vowed that a faction of elves, whom he saw as cruel and warmongering would do nothing but hunger for war and cause fear, becoming orcs.

Elves: -Are the only remaining ancient race from prehistory when the gods warred with the titans, the giants warred with the dragons, the druids warred with the far realms. Were they servants of more powerful beings, or a force of nature in its own right? -Seem aloof because they literally don't want anything, they already have or can make whatever they want themselves. When you live for thousands of years, you don't want to keep replacing low quality poo poo. If an elf leaves elf paradise, it's because they finally found something that they need and don't already have, which is very rare -Treat other mortal races like pets. Some think they're cute, some think they're annoying, some think they're gross id-driven animals. They might even love and care for a human like it was an idiot child... but they would never think of one as an intellectual or emotional equal -Did some bad stuff to reality on a planar, metaphysical level, and nobody even knows that things used to be different

My solution to the Elf problem in the campaign setting I've been working on was to just remove the humans from the equation! Humans are the mythical fore-runner race who achieved things modern Elves can only gape at in awe, and are the ones who created all the "almost human except for BLAH" people that're running around and Elves are basically just the human stand-ins, only they have pointy ears.

Syrinxx posted:For the new year I'm planning on establishing a noob Adventurer's League table at the local shop with the specific intention of (1) bringing in new players to a low stress table and (2) getting some more DM experience myself. My experience with random groups is that dealing with people like those is a mix of style and knowing how to roll with things politely but firmly. For style first it comes down to acknowledging that you're playing a game with rules, and sometimes those rules are bad/dumb. This is fine! You're not a game designer, so you needn't concern yourself with houseruling every little thing that you feel is wrong with the system - if the people who wrote the system didn't do their jobs properly, that's on them, not on you. As a DM you've already got a lot on your plate just wrangling the herd of cats, so you shouldn't let yourself feel compelled to contest the rules or their quasi-official interpretations unless the rules are meaningfully negatively impacting fun at the table. That is the case where you exercise Rule 0. Another is that the freeform/mechanics divide is real, and you should avoid cross pollination because that way lies madness. What I mean by this is that the rules, namely the combat rules, describe a (inconsistently but nevertheless) heavily abstracted reality, where player character activities are locked into a fairly inflexible scheme. Accept that when you roll for initiative you're entering an entirely new world, a mini-game within the game that's held together by patchwork and goodwill, that can collapse very easily even on its own. It doesn't need additional poking. Rewarding player "creativity" is hard to do properly within that minigame, so just stick to the rules. Feel free to tell your players to stick to the rules, and why. Keep the pace. OTOH when you're not being strictly engaged with the codified rules, you should feel encouraged to not even roll dice at all - only roll dice when it matters and, if say a player asks if they can roll dice to attempt some activity, if it seems based on their character's background and abilities that they stand a fair chance of just accomplishing the task or the failure state is inconsequential, just let them succeed outright. Don't be like Mike Mearls making his players roll Perception over and over again until one finally succeeded at picking up the rumor they needed as a quest hook to begin the adventure. And lastly on dealing with individuals: never stop the game. If someone corrects you on a ruling and it sounds right, just accept it and thank them. Hell, award them Inspiration. If it sounds wrong or you're just not sure, then go with what makes sense to you and just say you'll play it like this for now and check later - whoever disagreed gets Inspiration for their troubles if it turns out you were wrong. That sounds fair, right? What's important is that it's made clear you're handling the game right now, so there's no time for you to pause and look at the books. It's also important that if someone is being disruptive (ie constantly second guessing you, interrupting the session, or bothering/arguing with other players), you raise your hand and tell them in no ambiguous terms "Hey, you're being disruptive by doing X - can you pretty please not?" If someone is insisting on being disruptive, even after that, you say "Hey! I was serious with what I said before - we can talk it over later, but for now I need you to either stop or please leave the table, because *I* am trying to have fun too."

On that note, I've noticed that Inspiration tends to have a drop off over time. First couple of sessions, hotcakes. But then it starts getting forgotten, a conspicuously empty rectangle on the character sheets. I've been guilty of this as a DM, too, where I just kind of forget there's an easy meta-reward system. And in the last campaign I played in I really noticed it but wasn't going to press the DM on "hey, no inspirations this session? Really? I should have earned one, she should have earned two, and he should have earned at least one" because it felt like a dick move. Don't know what the solution is and I'm a sample size of one, maybe other tables are better about it.

Yeah its a real awkward mechanic to both track, award and its not a big deal to use it. Every session at the end, have everyone vote on someone to get inspiration. Or just give everyone inspiration at the end of the session and make sure people use it constantly and reward people who use it with more inspiration until people get in the habbit of just spending it constantly.

It tends to get forgotten at my table as well. I liked Edge of the Empire's version of it for that, they were tokens you handed out at the start of each session and when the players flipped one, it went to the DM and vice versa. Not sure how you'd balance that in this game, but I might give it a spin next time I DM a game.

That way everyone knows and knows they’ll get used.

A page or so back someone mentioned wanting tips on Bladesingers, and here's mine (I played one through level 7). - You should be using it almost every fight. Two uses per short or long rest means you basically always have it, and even when you don't you're still a wizard. - "oh you have to be careful you're a wizard with low HP." Nah, you have incredible AC and Shield/Absorb Elements on top of that. You're a very very good tank. There were a good number of times I just stood in a doorway and held off several dudes singlehandedly. Crits are the only thing that you really need to worry about. - Weapon damage is never going to be much better than cantrips, just use it as cleanup for enemies. The Xanathar weapon cantrips are a small boost. - Remember you're a wizard. Swording things is fun but other people are going to be better at it. I generally cast a control spell or two at the start of combat and then helped the cleanup. - If you really want to go swording, Shadow Blade is quite nice.

Something I've noticed but feel like im missing obvious. Does any wotc book actually talk about what an adventurer is? I'm not talking about what a paladin is or a bard but what, as a collective group, adventurers are. What is their place in the world, what they're about etc. Is this talked about somewhere I'm obviously missing? I mean I know what one is and I'd bet most people in the thread could come up with a description or rough mission statement but I don't actually see it talked about anywhere. Did I miss this information?

Did I miss this information? This really differs campaign setting to campaign setting and is based off of the particular context in that setting. The clearest version is like you see in the just released Eberron book, where adventurers are a squad organized to serve a particular patron and their interests. (Classically, the answer to this in Basic D&D was "foolhardy people who got together to get rich by going into the scary dungeon in hopes of treasure.") Different settings approach this question in different ways, which is why there's not really one solid answer. However (and I bet you know where this is going) the Realms in Ed Greenwood's writing has spent a lot of time looking at the cultural ramifications of adventurers, how they fit into larger institutions, their legality, what people think of them and so on. Ed's quick, slightly-sarcastic definition of an adventurer as defined throughout D&D's history is "adventurers go here and there and find or make trouble." Which makes sense as the only collective term that fits the role of adventurers in a D&D game and all the various adventures they have. What Ed has expanded on is going okay, here's the kinds of people who approach adventurers for jobs, here's where they do it and why and what that contextually means (you're basically hiring drunk hooligans to gently caress up someone else's poo poo and all the other poo poo along the way and yeah your poo poo is gonna get hosed up too); here's the ways nations respond to adventurers and try to keep them from being too crazy; here's how adventurers get famous and get tales told about them and how they are thought of in culture and writing and so on and so forth. There's a lot of different sources for that, but a lot of it is contained in a book published in 2012 in anticipation of 5e, Elminster's Forgotten Realms. That's an edition-agnostic, rules-free supplement of just details and inspiration for games set in the Realms (and very adaptable to other settings), and it spends a good amount of time talking about adventurers' day jobs, or what adventurers retiring looks like. Get that, and you'll find your answers.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:A few pages back, I asked the thread why psionics is always either useless or overpowered, but got no answer. There never seems to be an in-between; why is that? Tradition. No, seriously: original psionics was just a patch on the rules that was optional, involved sheer random chance to get (though high mental stats helped), and introduced a separate system that only barely mattered to nonpsions and would grind the game to a halt when multiple psionic people started mind-fighting. Oh, but you could affect nonpsionic creatures with one or two powers, including Mind Blast, which works just like the Mind Flayer ability. Subsequent editions either tried to preserve the “different from all the other systems” feel, which typically led to psionics being overpowered, or tried to make it work like everything else, in which case it was underpowered or worked like 3.5 psionics, which were basically another caster class with some different flavor and a bunch of new spells.

Monte Cook is here to teach us that BDSM, which of course is also synonymous with rape, sadomasochism, and criminal insanity, is the root of all evil. It is probably Monte Cook's worst book in terms of both fluff and mechanics, which is a feat in itself, and if it were written today it would get pilloried off the Internet. If one were to describe its main throughline as anything coherent, it would be something along the lines of what religious conservatives secretly think (and on the salacious end, hope) the metal scene is about. Most of the player options that aren't completely embarrassing are still mechanically unworkable, like the race posted above, which is just Human mechanically, but edgy. You can also pick spellcaster PrCs that are strictly worse than going 20 core class and far worse than other PrC options. But sometimes you have to rape an animated corpse first.

Technically it says you only have to commit perverted sex acts with an undead. Does that mean if your partner was a vampire who just happened to be into the kink scene when they were alive that'd count?

That book actually had a couple mechanics I liked, in theory: masochistic spells/items that rewarded you with buffs and poo poo for taking a bunch of damage, and a PRC with a bunch of powers that let you choose another target for an attack and (eventually) a spell that just hit you. Both of those could be a fun character to play. They aren't good rules in BOVD, though.

"The blacksmith's shop has sophisticated locks and sturdy doors because... you know.... adventurers." One way to curb that I've found is that you can clearly define sections of the game where stealing and looting will be encouraged. I noticed that it typically results in boredom and a desire for more stuff so if you can make each adventure beat focused on that aspect Same page tool is also helpful for setting player's expectations going into a game so if you're trying to send the players on an epic quest to save the world they know what they're walking into. Otherwise, if you basically just want to dick around then they know that and you can go from there. I tend to have different moods when running a game so it's nice to communicate what kind of game I want to run so the players that care can build accordingly; of course there's always that person that has to zig when everyone else zags. Like in my last game running Ravenloft, the Paladin and the Bard were invested in getting the MacGuffins and getting information from townspeople while the Druid decided she wanted to run around the forest in stag form and be antisocial.

But there are three to six of them and they're mostly working together When I eventually get around to running a campaign again and when it goes long enough there is absolutely going to be a secret society whose entire purpose is to notice that Player Characters are active (though the organization, being within the game, will use a different epithet). This will make perfect sense, because I've run all of my (D&D) games in the last decade in the same homebrew setting, over time, and eventually conspiracy theorists within it should pick up on patterns over time. "Keep me up-to-date on suspiciously-adept apprentices and those who come out of horrible circumstances with surprising ability in combat. Especially if they start teaming up." Come to think of it, now it's just Unbreakable and I am 100% okay with that. A decades- or centuries-old secret society trying to cargo cult PCs into existence for their own purposes!? That leads to factions within the cult/guild/what-have-you ("leave us alone!" vs "save us!") and ooh i'm going to have to work on this more than i already have. This has just been in the back of my head as a funny idea but now that I've actually written down some bits, it's a bit meta, but it's not unreasonable. stringless fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Nov 26, 2019 |

FFT posted:When I eventually get around to running a campaign again and when it goes long enough there is absolutely going to be a secret society whose entire purpose is to notice that Player Characters are active (though the organization, being within the game, will use a different epithet).

Splicer posted:I had a mutants and masterminds character I never got to play who'd been zapped in from a generic fantasy pastiche world and was looking for a portal home. He would have joined up with the other PCs specifically because they're a band of unlikely heroes and "I know how these things work". "cargo cult genre savvy" is 100% the idea
