Campaign Retrospective! 

blame it on rio!

yeahp they actually created a player during a game..craziness

me too, I moved away from everyone I know and have been too busy to start up again. Hopefully I'll be able to find a job that will leave me time for my hobbies and family.

twice a week or so these days

Only one way to find out, try it!

It's been 2 years... Did you try? :) I did. I'd say I'm more than halfway to where I want to be as a DM now.. And it gets more and more interesting the more you do it!

yep fronst are agreat tool for planning

only in our nutty campaign

I don't! I have a rough idea like "oh yeah, time is weird in teh underdark, and these war hullk things..." then players generally drive a lot of it into the details... but I sense a prep video is in order

niceeeeeee

they live on a pile on shelf in a weird room

+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass have you ever considered selling one? you could probably charge a good amount. In my own experience is if it looks cool, there's definitely a market for it. Thanks for the reply btw

yeah selling isnt much fun...i like creating!

Tgey're great wellsprings of concepts and themes, but i've always felt they lack detailed or mechanically wild encounters...they are great books though! they're just fun to have and read... no matter how fun though, i really believe in custom stories that players push...

I actually have felt the same way. I am currently running Rise of the Runelords in 5e. It's been running okay since March 2016. It's been a bit of a bumpy road recently because of recent changes in my life. But, this last week, we gamed two nights in a row, so... you know, fuck yeah! :D I haven't done a game like what you show in.... four years.... ish. It was a Star Wars D6 game, and I ended up stopping because I ran out of ideas. Now, I was quite new at the time, running my first game. But, I might try to run a game, either in Forgotten Realms or Golarion or something, once I am finished up with RotRL. Since, I do have a habit of being a bit of a control freak and wanting to map out every single adventure, which is why I haven't done my own because it just gets to be too much that I decide to stop. But, I definitely want to do a fantasy game, since it's a bit easier to deal with. Also, I definitely will be picking up the Necronomicon and Conan anthologies when I get the chance, since the tropes are something I've always struggled with in D&D. Anywho, I really liked this video. Gave me some inspiration, and allowed me to think about it in the way that I used to. Thanks bunches!!!

yeah man...mastery is a process of becoming more simple...keep it basic, but tasty

+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass what's a typical session like in your games?

2 or 3 boards, 3-4 hours, 2 bottles of weird stuff, 12 cans of pop, 5-6 players, office chairs

+Drunkens & Dragons: Play D&D Like a Badass sounds good to me. do you move your players through encounters only? skipping travel and such?

we do travel if there is an encounter...generally just sitting and describing vagueries has never electrified my players...

i made that up

Aww man, it sounded so lyrical and I'm always a sucker for songs about fishmen. Cheers for the reply!

:]

i make a de games!

hahaha! organizing is for those who don't have enough to do :]

nope! our game is for us...cameras just change people too much..

wheelhouse workshop!

William Hudson In my opinion you need to choose what kind of fantasy you want (he talks about them in 3 encounters for campaign). You should stick to the theme as much as possible and shape your world around that one idea. And of course educate yourself on your theme. For example, if you're going to do dark fantasy you should watch dark fantasy movies, read books and play video games (from which I recommend Diablo both games and books). Hope it helps :)

one night at a time

cleaner, easier to hack, but far less realized

ooo! that supported badge!! thanks!

Tyler Hoag the danger just keeps coming

i keep them very simple...otherwise they take attention from the heroes. Most of my npc's are just flimsy and disposable..with NO LINES lol. only very rarely do they hav epersoanlity or any real info of use

I have been making them vague as well and as simple quest givers but I like giving them personalities, but I usually do that in other ways. My party saved a kid of a Baron in Greyhawk, whose family has an ancient feud with yuan ti. I relay much of the npc characteristics briefly through him and its working. And it works to con the PCs because it can be a unreliable narrator.

I don't we don't reach thos elevels because we don't like the slog of complexity. This campaign was a big part of creating ICRPG's non linear loot-based progression as a solution

i dont do those. they are boring and put my players on camera. all filmed dnd play is acting.

Dude, are you Alaskan? I mean I'm drinking an Alaskan brewing co. Freeride Pale Ale right now!

nope..Washington ppl

Awesome!!! I'm in Seattle

nope..the cameras just change things too much...
