The problem is that players are trained to go, "I see something, time to go poke it".

I can always retrain them. Set enough fire under a player's ass and they'll do whatever looks wettest. >.>

But yeah, I know that height won't be a gate past level 5 or so. That's about when flight comes online for casters in Pathfinder. And some even weaker PCs could find a way up. So I'll need to design a lot of these dungeons around the player's ever-changing abilities. Shouldn't be too hard, GMs design dungeons based on how strong the party is already. And the overworld is harsh enough in my setting that I should have plenty of warning before they go to a specific dungeon. I think.

Really though, I think I have to accept that sometimes the players will outsmart me and solve something a lot sooner than I guessed they would. That usually feels so good for the players that it's beneficial anyways. At least my players love feeling like they beat the system.
It's a lot less of a problem in DnD than Zelda because humans are so adaptable. Computers can do those complex physics puzzles, but as a GM I can allow for creative solutions to work, expand the play area at will, and adaptively design the game so that a particular sequence break doesn't break anything it shouldn't. I don't need invisible walls to keep PCs out of undeveloped areas, I can just develop what happens on the spot when the PCs go over that fence.

The more I think about it, the more I think an idea like that would work well if the players were dealing with some sort of previously (mostly) undiscovered magitech sort of culture that was able to build fortresses that were powered by some sort of internal magical power source, which allows certain tools or weapons to function within their bounds but which are effectively rendered inert outside of their range for lack of power. That would allow the DM to introduce almost any functionality or ability in an item that can be extremely useful in its "home" dungeon but more or less useless anywhere else.

I've already got a setting that allows for a bit more contrivance than normal. It's a bit of a "what if". What if a child in our world (2017 real-life Earth, the one with the fidget spinners) gained the powers of a god and used them make the world "perfect" as best as she could?

So, since God Emperor Hannah likes games, she gave everyone DnD-level super powers. Death was an unsatisfying experience and so has been removed. Food, shelter, and indeed all needs are provided, so the only remaining economy is for adventuring loot. Monsters have been spawned the world over to give people something to do (adventure!). And more ostensibly good ideas that really weren't thought out because a child enacted them.

(Full disclosure, I ripped the premise from a webcomic called A Better Place. Here's that world's propagandistic genesis story in one comic-page if you like, though I won't be using the "attach giant thrusters to the earth" plotline https://tapas.io/episode/145338)

So uh yeah, I'm kinda chained to that. It's neat!

First things first - each dungeon needs a special mechanic that mainly helps you get through that dungeon, but is mostly useless outside of it (theoretically, you could just revoke it once the adventurer's leave).

Actually, I think I'll be using monsters and traps for puzzles. Items are the Zelda progression system, so it makes sense to hand out new powers there, but DnD has its own and it'd be weird to layer them. I think.

So instead of the "Magic Lens To Look At Things You Need This Lens To See" and associated invisible things, I can use enemy weaknesses. Like a troll in flammable gas. If you attack its weakness without thinking, you'll blow yourself up, but with good planning you can instead blow the troll up with little effort. That's a weak idea alone, you'd need to introduce the gas elsewhere in simpler conditions and let them learn about it first, but you get it.

The way I view it is that I'm shoving Zelda-style puzzles into the DnD progression system. Or really, just modern puzzle design, which is puzzle themes that train the player with increasingly complicated puzzles using the same elements. I think.



BUT! But but but! That isn't the part of Zelda dungeons I meant!
The puzzles are all well and good, but I'm more interested in (or I guess what I need more help with) is the dungeon layout being a challenge on its own. Easy example, seeing a chest on a high ledge and a door next to it. You gotta find where the other side of that door is, don't you? So you keep that in mind as you explore, and it gives direction to your choices. You gotta beat the dungeon not just by beating the individual puzzles, but by understanding the whole dungeon's layout and function.

Or maybe it's less about understanding the dungeon as the challenge, and more about that "directed exploration" thing. I've never been a fan of navigation being an uninformed choice.
Uhhh... I'm not sure really what the essence of this is. Send help.

But I've seen very few DnD dungeons that weren't just a large plopping down of rooms with hallways connecting them and zero gameplay reason to ever pay attention to where you are within them. And I'm really not sure why.

ParanoidObsessive posted...
Also, physical mapping would pretty much be a must.

Hmmm... mapping how?
I play online, so we pretty much always use maps. Everyone pulls up the same, gridded map and moves their tokens along it. Something like this if a picture helps:
2Ka3q0y
(though I as the GM have the ability to hide as much or as little of the map as I like)

But now I'm wondering if I ought to make them draw their own maps, or at least parts of them. After all, if I want the layout of my dungeon to be the challenge, maybe I shouldn't just give them the whole layout as soon as they see it. Zelda dungeons don't give you the full map and compass until you're well into them (except when they do).

How would you make a Zelda style dungeon work in a DnD/Pathfinder game?

Maybe comparing anything to Zelda is unfair, but Zelda dungeons feel like they were designed very differently from DnD ones.

That is, DnD dungeons usually feel like "gauntlets". You get the occasional hidden room or transforming space, but for the most part it's just room after room with self-contained puzzles or fights. "Left or right?" ceases to matter because each room has no apparent external context.

Compare that to OoT's water temple, where you go back and forth through the maze, raising and lowering the water level of the whole place. You would have to remember a room, picture what it'd be like if you pulled the lever in the other room, and maybe even need to find a new way back, encouraging a strong understanding of the dungeon as a whole. Maybe the water temple specifically was a little too hard for the target age, but I like the idea of dungeon connectedness, and of mastering the dungeon as a whole rather than room by room.

Or the earth temple from Majora's Mask! With the huge, layered, stone pillar in the middle room, and you had to approach the pillar at various heights in the correct order to knock out damaged layers. Then you'd walk on top of the pillar when it was the right height. That's cool stuff!

But these example puzzles are obviously best run by computers since they rely on precise calculations and physics simulations. So... what do you think a human-run Zelda-style tabletop dungeon would look like?

"Our new government is founded upon exactly [this] idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.

However, if they are that type of player, their plan B is likely to be just as bland as their plan A.

A fully realized and consistent Plan B is actually pretty rare in my experience. Dedicating too many resources away from your Plan A makes you weaker, in specialization-focused games like Pathfinder at least. A "switch hitter" of dramatically different styles is rarely a good idea.

So Plan B usually becomes something improvised and non-repeatable. Maybe it uses a special consumable they've been saving, maybe it's taking advantage of this one specific fight's qualities (enemy type, terrain, etc). These are the fights where the martials form a protective circle around the wizard and pull out bows because they can't reach the enemy safely. Or the cleric empties his bag on the ground trying to find that one scroll of Stone to Flesh because his meatshield is suddenly less meaty than advertised. Or where the sword and board fighter has to leave the squishies he's protecting to go save a valuable NPC/macguffin being taken away ("You're the only one who can make it!").

When their Plan A is countered, D&D characters aren't usually versatile enough to have a grand Plan B ready (except high level wizards ugh). They usually have to drop their Plan A and adapt a new plan using the exact same ingredients as Plan A's.

That said, don't counter in the same way too often. You can imagine it would be super annoying to have to guard your wizard with a shitty bow more than once or twice.

KthulhuX posted...
Plus there is the fact that, if you are talking about spells, it's not always an option to immediately switch to the "super weird spells". Because they likely do not have those spells prepared or known.

I have an issue with Vancian magic for that reason, and I don't really use it any more in my games.
I allow it, but I introduced the Spheres of Power magic system and all my players just gravitated towards that naturally, so yay.

Babbit55 posted...
Not disagreing with you, just saying public rolling to really good roleplayers won't change things up too much, though it does depend.

It won't change the story, no, but it'll change the game. Often, especially when the challenge they're facing is information-based, giving the players tons of free information is just way less fun for them.

It's the difference between solving a puzzle and pretending you're solving a puzzle. The former is obviously more fun, right?

In all honesty, only bad roleplayers need DM's to lie to them/ roll for them

If the only goal is to put on a show for like a podcast then sure. I can pretend I'm having fun so it looks realistic enough.
If you actually like mystery, intrigue, suspense, solving puzzles, or thinking at all, then sometimes it's nice to not have the solution given to you.

Bluff is something I very rarely have the players roll themselves any more, after Father Donnagin. One of my favorite NPCs was a Cleric of good/healing who had a knack for always catching the (evil) PCs with their pants down. He led the investigation of the PCs' first murder and managed to counterbluff them, making it seem like he believed the PCs' lies (or at least left enough doubt that they didn't kill him before he could investigate, and trust me they wanted to). If the player had seen his roll on Bluff, he would have known that the Cleric didn't believe him, and then goodbye suspense!

Hell, even your own story would have been more interesting if the party didn't know ahead of time via public rolls that you were fooling them.
That said, I don't let PCs roll Bluff against PCs anyways. Diplomancers tend to override the party's will when allowed to use CHA skills on allies (so... exactly what happened but all the time).

Honestly, if your players are the type to rarely, if ever, step outside of a few pre-determined attacks / actions, there's very little way to get them to use some of the more interesting options.

It's actually pretty easy as the GM to make the players stray away from their Plan A. Just make Plan A not work!

If their normal strat is to hit it with a stick, then easy ways to block that include swarms, DR, concealment/darkness, high AC, incorporeality, huge size plus mobile (players will provoke AoOs to get to it), STR damage, overstrong full attacks (players won't risk staying close), "burning blood" retaliation upon being cut, flying, burrowing, range enemies that kite, etc etc etc etc. That's all just off the top of my head, there's likely more.
Mix and match and apply all of the cool, weird things this game has against your party's weaknesses on the occasion when you want to force them to come up with an improvised strategy.

Counters are neat, but don't predictively counter an improvised strategy unless you're just trying to get them to retreat. That's a level of difficulty that a lot of players can't handle, or don't want to.

The DM suggests that they'd LIKE you to choose two classes for story reasons and combine them to make an interesting roleplaying character concept (like, say, making a Fighter/Mage who is a combat battlemage or a Cleric/Paladin who is a militant church-knight for their god), and not just power game and choose two classes that synergize best for optimal combat utility mechanically, but they can't straight up stop you from being a filthy munchkin if that's what you really want to do.

In a vacuum my first instinct is a Paladin/Ranger and go all RIGHTEOUS FURY smiter of evil people. (Rangers still get things for tracking and hunting specific targets in 5e right?) I've never gotten to play in a campaign so unsubtle that it would work, but the kid in me just loves the idea.
"Good is that which evil fears, and justice is making those fears a reality!"
>.>

Realistically, I'd assume a more "intelligent" setting and go for something like Druid/Monk and go pretty fierce with it, Rogue/Wizard because nothing is more infuriating than a sly bastard who knows magic, or Cleric/Fighter and just play it as Cleric because Cleric has plenty of versatility for storytelling in its mechanics to make up for the the Fighter's 'none'.

AFAIK the only answer we've gotten is that the WH isn't sure about how to respond yet, since it might have been a liberal who did it.

“There’s a great rule: All initial reports are false,” Gorka said. “You have to check them and find out who the perpetrators are. We’ve had a series of crimes committed, alleged hate crimes by right wing individuals in the last six months that turned out to be prop propagated by the left. Let’s allow the local authorities to provide their assessment and then the White House will make its comments.”

Skimmed through.
Wasn't as obnoxious as it could have been. It was far from inspiring, but at least he didn't come off as a moron. I got the impression of "at least he tried this time", which is a good thing I guess.
Kinda hard to mess this one up, all you gotta say is that violence is bad mkay.

Also, he's doing "You're fired!" jokes... I dunno. >.>

I watched a video of the rally. Apparently Icoyar has discovered how to reproduce asexually and is taking the streets by storm.

I feel like that was a lot of why I didn't like it, other than the total lack of either direction or exploration.

It's Sisyphean in a way. You make occasional spurts of simplistic effort as you chase down a target, but half of it is simply mashing the button and contemplating what you could be doing instead.

I've long said that it would be a fascinating - if completely impractical - experiment if the US split into two countries, one governed entirely by Republicans and one governed entirely by Democrats and each election cycle each state voted on which country they would be a part of for the next four years.

Hell I'm game. I love experiments!
Honestly though, what would probably happen is that Democrats would migrate to Democratic states and Republicans etc and no state would ever swap and then there'd just be two countries with different ideologies near each other. I think.
