Any Aussie millennials remember reading Pink Chicken comics (early 2000's), with main character Mustard Custard? Thanks for the walk down memory lane! https://www.chickennation.com/

2024-12-12 20:40:31 +0000 UTCI would agree. Cases like this are almost always really about mismanaged expectations. I'm not going to micromanage stuff and make everyone wait if it never comes up. It's like hand waving food for month's then with no warning send them into nowhere and asking how many rations they have.

2024-12-10 23:44:48 +0000 UTCThis is obviously not the biggest issue with the exponentially increasing poison damage case, but it bothers me that it started with 1 (which squared is still 1), then jumped to 2, and then from there the damaged increased to whatever the result of the previous damage taken squared was. The idea was flawed from the beginning

2024-12-10 22:22:31 +0000 UTCthis is anna from the Instakill gun case! i have some more information if you’re curious! - the pirate lord did indeed just get back on his ship and leave after he killed her, because we all were in shock a bit - my friend playing the cleric, upon dying, went and stood in her kitchen (we were playing at Her House) and just kind of zone out. for some reason the session continues for another 2-3 hours without her because he didn’t warn anyone to make backup characters - we later found this gun, 2 more instakill bullets, and the blueprints to build more - the gun didn’t even require attunement

nknknk
2024-12-10 16:14:25 +0000 UTCLove Murphy’s intro and being onbord with cute little junior justice to absolut distain aggressively telling Jake to shut the up and change voice 😂 it’s like listening to the exchange of my best friends. Absolutely love the chaos
Maria B
2024-12-10 15:28:10 +0000 UTC"What does it mean to prepare for the ocean?" Well, there's Waterbreathing, Water Walking, Control Water... And hey Murph, only Moon Druids are tanks! If travel was consistently skipped over, it wouldn't be weird for someone to not swap their spells out. I think a more elegant DM move would've been to start them off with a minor discovery that day or something else that would've prompted them to actually prepare themselves for the day.

2024-12-10 14:11:42 +0000 UTCAs far as a shot how about a shot of malort mixed in

2024-12-09 15:51:32 +0000 UTCIt would be maybe funny to bring in a ringer just to get their ass kicked by the party, then the DM can spin bad consequences from that. Might be kinda fun.

2024-12-07 21:29:22 +0000 UTCIf the DM rolls a stealth roll that exceeds their passive perception that’s above board unless they specifically claim they’re actively doing perception checks, if they’re just hanging out and not paying attention that’s what passive scores are for

2024-12-07 15:33:59 +0000 UTCNot if the players in now way were allowed to prepare for an ambush. Were they asked for perception, navigation, was anything at all different this time or were they just put into "fast travel" as usual and then ambushed with no recourse. If you want to do something like this it should be an expectation of possibility. A million reasons why a player could avoid an ambush. Not allowing a spell restock is fine, but no checks for the players at all is silly. Otherwise you can't have any recourse to them at any point saying, "we ambush, it happens"

2024-12-07 14:07:55 +0000 UTCSPOILERS FOR D20 Escape From Bloodkeep: The funniest thing with that though was Brennan expected PvP, and instead the party united together under Power of Friendship and Found Family, forcing Brennan to improvise a final showdown. Still an evil-ish group, but one that genuinely cared for one another in a pretty heartwarming way.
Benjamin P Parson Gomberg
2024-12-07 13:41:29 +0000 UTC“Unfair to expect the party to be prepared for an ambush” is the complaint of someone who fundamentally doesn’t understand the word “ambush”
PastaCortez
2024-12-07 12:26:48 +0000 UTCi NEED more twilight sanctorum !!!!!!!
Fido
2024-12-07 06:14:15 +0000 UTCYeah the exponential damage is WILD. I'm more upset that they had a BBEG Jeff Bezos and they didn't go with Prime Poisoning and make the increasing damage the next prime number lol.
Matthew Cagle
2024-12-07 05:57:08 +0000 UTCEvil NADDPOD campaign would be DOPE! D20 did it with I think their second or third overall season! Where they played the bad guys in “lord of the rings” essentially.
Brandon Wiens
2024-12-07 04:13:57 +0000 UTCI demand a bailiff tanner docket
Ian Hudson
2024-12-07 03:48:37 +0000 UTCIf the Woodpecker was on multiple days of travel, he should have had a designated beat to change his spells out each "day", but that said, he should have been aware he might need Control Water by then

2024-12-07 01:59:30 +0000 UTCThe Hoglidays are in Hogust, right?
Matt Bernard
2024-12-07 01:52:35 +0000 UTCFor the woodpecker case I think it’s critical to know if the journey took multiple days because if the druid knew they wouldn’t be on land until some days later, they wouldn’t prepare the ”land-spells” for that day. Whereas the player, thinking the travel is being basically skipped through, wouldn’t bother to prepare spells for the travel days and would then be stuck with spells the druid wouldn’t realistically have prepared.

2024-12-07 01:33:56 +0000 UTCAh I mean I knew it didn't turn out the way the DM wanted and I felt bad for it not being a good experience for my dad especially. I kinda figured it would turn out this way, but hey bad experiences are how ya learn. I just swore off pvp entirely as a DM even though I didn't DM this one it was a good lesson as a DM

2024-12-07 00:54:04 +0000 UTCI was at McDonald’s today and saw they have a grinch meal with dill pickle fries. I can’t believe you guys got a collaboration with such a huge fast food chain.

2024-12-07 00:11:27 +0000 UTCAnd even then, the player should be given an opportunity to save every turn

A. Lee. S
2024-12-06 23:17:19 +0000 UTCyeah I see where we did my dad dirty. Since neither the DM nor my dad listen to the podcast I will eat the mustard custard alone. I think I phrased it poorly too cause I see where the DM did wrong and when I came in as an NPC basically it messed it up for my dad, but everyone else wanted to continue the campaign which is what I saw as the issue with him quitting the way he did. We all still play together and I'm usually the DM these days, but it was a weird couple days.
Michael Beck
2024-12-06 22:18:48 +0000 UTCThe campaign podcast actually did a great Star Wars evil campaign. It was super interesting hearing the evil party work against the good party, and I think it can add a lot of narrative depth to show your audience that your villains aren’t just evil for the sake of being evil.
Charlie Nicholls
2024-12-06 22:08:01 +0000 UTCMurph's quiet little "Jake, that's concerning..." truly made me cackle because I agreed so hard. That alone fueled my subscription for the next 6 months. It was perfect.

Declan Konesky
2024-12-06 21:31:43 +0000 UTCI was about to argue for the first dm, then I realized that it was actually exponential, not multiplicative. That's actually insane. If it was a poison that did 1,2,4,8,16,32... That'd be way more balanced.
