Welcome to my neck of the woods, here, everyone is invited to stay a while! So come sit by the camp fire, roast some marshmellows, and enjoy some laughs with me throughout my many adventures!
I didn't bring snacks, but I brought cash for the DM. It just didn't seem right that everytime ee met it was on him. It felt like he was buying friendship. So I started paying him 20 or 30 at each campaign. And it caught on. And he became a happoer DM
I send messages, clues, and other things over the phone, and use combat timers, act or lose your turn, as well as asking them to keep track of things. This keeps them engaged. The full spread of home made food is a bribe to show up in person vs zoom 😉
Reminds me of when my party got to the BBEG, he was kicking our asses until he killed our pet cat with a fireball, he didn’t even last 2 rounds after that.
We did something like this so we made it into a little comedy bit as diversion due to a crit fail we where on different pages but we did have a kind of success
