Dungeons And Dragons Campaign [full] [discontinued On The Forums]

DM metagaming really sucks sometimes. Changing your plans based on what the players do is a really annoying thing to have to deal with.

 

But Spyro is the Good DM not the Bad DM :D

I just come back from 1 days without notifications, but you didn't say much things, so it's ok. :D

 

Well...

 

(I try to reassure myself)

 

It was a joke XD

Sorry

There is only one encounter where you might need to scatter, and there's only a 1/3 chance of it happening, so you should be good

________________________________

Although to be honest, I always change my plans around what you guys are doing

For example, you guys wen't getting the riddle, so I stabbed another one into Heat's arm.

I do change things according to what you guys do, but it's usually good, not bad

I won't ever punish you for being creative (unless you are being stupid, very fine line difference)

 

So, we either ensure we don't get lost and have a 33% chance of getting screwed over, or risk getting lost.

 

That's not really what I meant, but okay.

The thing with Heat makes sense, it has an in-world explanation. Suddenly deciding that a random monster can cast Counterspell because the party wizard is "too OP" is more what I was talking about. You haven't done anything like that.

 

Don't worry, I will make sure to give you an option where you don't get screwed over.

But, just keep in mind that encounters ARE a thing, and being tied together in any fight is a pretty bad idea. You all need to move together, and can only go as fast as your slowest party member

 

On second thought, let's not tie ourselves together.

 

No, I did, and you mentioned it before

Remember in Seneca after things started going bat sh*t there was that encounter with the specter, hellhound, and demon corpse?

I extended the Hellhound's breath weapon to hit more of you, and you got upset.

I remember

Let's see here...

OOC of course

You have somewhere between 2 and 5 encounters coming up, if I maths correctly. Altogether there's 8 or 9 different possible encounters (each of those 2-5 has several possiblities).

Of those, let's say 9, only around 3 are majorly problematic, and of those 3, 2 can be avoided once the encounter starts, if you are smart.

So, really 1 encounter that can screw you up, and that 1 encounter is one that only appears if you are stupid.






So idk, up to you. I personally wouldn't tie people together regardless of the situation, but I don't want to stop on yalls creativity.

 

Oh, right. How many pages ago was that...

Anyway, it's okay, that kind of thing just kind of irritates me.

My one personal exception as a DM is that if I realize midway through a fight that a BBEG is going to die in 2 rounds total, I might give them extra HP, just to make the fight seem more significant.

 

Yeah... The downside to being tied up is that it is very limiting in your movements. For example, if you need to run from something, you need perfect coordination or someone likely trips, sending everyone down with them. I see no way this could POSSIBLY go wrong! *sarcasm*

 

Alas : "Why would you tie an whole party ? We could be tied two by two, it will be safer, we will all have more movement options and it will be less messy."

EDIT : Edited, I forgot some words XD

 

True enough. It may not be the greatest plan... If we had a long rope where we could have lots of slack, it would be fine, but as it stands...

 

Yevor: "True, but who would be with who?"

 

Ti'Lin:"Yeah, and I don't even think we have enough rope to tie everyone up or even cut the rope into pieces."

 

Alas : "Melee people with melee people, casters with casters. It seems to be the best option for me."

________________________________

Alas : "Otherwise, we can tie peoples by the hands, but it will give some disadvantages."

 

Yevor: "So, would I be with Heat, Kyelas, Erevan, or... Caligo?"

 

When I incorrectly calculated Kortassa's health, I should have used that as an excuse XD

That's actually a good idea

I guess this isn't TOO big of a spoiler, since you are going there anyway, but:

In the attic, you do NOT want to trip...

OH PLEASE OF PLESE PUT CALIGO WITH EREVAN AND ALAS WITH EITHER KYELAS OR EREVAN

 

Caligo: "Do I scare you?"

I go up to the box, observing it.

*cough cough* Gee I wonder *cough cough*
