| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 8:09:53 PM #50 | Because when I was doing things on my own I felt way less stressed because I wasnt having to read ahead and worry about what info they know. My players had more fun with the stuff I made up rather then when I read the text bubble. I think once I can get them to understand things like combat and skills checks it will be easier to do pre-written. Im not good at remembering a bunch of characters. I am good at making shit up on the fly. If you want to help me right now, tell me how to print bigger graph paper and Ill just make them dungeon runners until they figure combat out --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 1:17:51 PM #38 | ocelot51 posted... I think part of your problem is you're modifying the normally very easy to run Phandelver module too much as a new DM. Just run it stock! No need to craft random and branching encounter tables when they're not part nor a significant element of your campaign. I did that because nothing was happening. Kill the goblin ambush, follow the goblin trail to the cave would have taken them 20mins if I didnt add them meeting a bard on the road and the rest of what I said in the early post --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 11:52:33 AM #34 | Ranting Nord posted... Different people like different levels of role playing too. The group I'm with barely role plays and is more focused on the combat side of things. There's no wrong way to play D&D. If you watch the Penny Arcade stuff, Jerry is a fucking word-wizard but when Mike fills in, not so much, and they play Mario Kart in D&D. Which is what I was going to do with Donjon, it's a great little dungeon generator. But I can't get the map to fit the paper I'm printing Look at this -  That whole thing looks like should take up the whole page when I print it, but it doesn't. it takes up maybe 1/2 the page, sometimes just right in the middle of the page really small. It depends on the size of the map. Just make the squares bigger, but I don't know how --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 11:45:08 AM #33 | lolife67 posted... If you have a hard time being descriptive, just run mods and read the description boxes exactly as they're written. No need to make extra work for yourself. I'm playing Lost Mines of Phandelver, THE new player module. I do read the boxes. I have read the entire of Chapter 1 and came up with interesting ideas how to get places in the story. I made a random encounter list with events and monster encounters. And thought of a few multiple paths for those as well [Roll a D36 and a black dog crosses your path. If they do A, we can do this. If they do B, we can do this, ect. They never rolled this, just an example] But when describing something, I can really only focus on what the book tells me. I'm not good with describing something like a location outside of that. If my players asked me things about the location, like about the road they are on, I'm like, "there are woods on each side of the road," and not something like, "you see a large field of flowers on the eastern hill. There seems to be some tracks on the ground from recent animal activity." If my players asked me, "I want to see if there are any poisonous flowers in the area. What is the history of this land? I want to try and capture a goblin alive to see what they know. I want to try and calm those wolves down," then I would be able to become more descriptive. And it's not they're fault, it's mine. I'm not very good and letting my players know the things they can do. I ask them to tell me what they want to do, and I tell them if they can do it or not. But they don't do anything outside of what I said earlier, stop when I stop them and then do a Perception check to see if the Stealth Goblin remains hidden. When this happens, they auto know something is up and they ready their weapons. A fight happens, and then they move on until I stop them again. They never loot bodies, they never ask questions, they never search for secrets, they never ask me about the cave, they don't tell me anything about their characters and I'm not good enough to help them because I'm a bad DM. So that is why I say something like, "do you want to search the water?" I have to prompt them --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 11:00:03 AM #29 | It's just terrible. Every time I get excited for something I just get let down. I'm just too shy to be a DM, but like I said, I'm the only one that knows how to play Also, you asked why I would ask them if they wanted to do something. It's because they never do anything because they don't know what they can do. Like when you get to the wolf den part of this. No stealth checks, no Animal Handling, no History check for the cave. They don't role play their characters, their backstory is that they're both good people that help out the weak. Zero traits to work with. No background. It's just too much. I almost had a mental breakdown. I need an easier way to keep organized, and I thought Beyond would help with that. But it seems like I need both Beyond and Roll20 to do what I want, and I'm not about to buy the books 2 more times to do that I also just sat here for about an hour to size the random maps on Donjon to fit a whole sheet or normal paper, but I'm too fucking stupid to get it to work. --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/17/19 10:18:04 AM #27 | I'm the only one that knows how to play [the very basics], but I'm the one that has a really hard time talking. Not only because I'm shy and an introvert, but it's also physically hard because I have a slight stutter and speech impediment. Now that isn't an issue here because we're all adults, but growing up it was and it's shaped my personality into someone that has a hard time being descriptive and telling a story. What I need is some help, and I was excited to use Beyond to help me with that since you can just touch sometime and the rules/description will show up right there, and everyone can use this But you can't use the maps and tokens on there like I thought you could, that's Roll20. I don't want to play online [yet], I want to use these tools IRL, but I don't know how. I don't understand the reason why Beyond is hooked up to Twitch when it's Roll20 that has the whole map share thing where the DM can set up tokens and Fog Of War and everyone can look at their tablets/PC and see it I have been enjoying building characters on Beyond so much and when I found out that you can't share the maps or use tokens to play on Beyond this morning it really hurt because I thought for sure that would be a great idea to help us out --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/16/19 11:45:15 PM #25 | PrideOfLion posted... I'd say when it comes to any ruling, you should try and check the book if you can I know that. The issue was that I didn't KNOW I had to look at that, I just made an assumption and there was no argument. No need to look it up since it was a ranged attack, I just assumed all of them took a d20 for their AIm. Now I know that I need to make sure since that isn't always the case. Of course I can easily look it up, lol. But thanks PrideOfLion posted... This is for players, the adventure is just for DMs Which is what I'm using to roll the characters. I didn't know it would add spells that were not in the PHB or else I wouldn't give my new players those spells since they couldn't look them up in the book. Now I know. You have to remember, I was curious about that almost 3 days ago. I found out some more, lol BTW, we had played a bit and it all went to shit because I'm just getting very overwhelmed. I'm really nervous running the game already, but then one of the players likes to argue with me on certain things and is always asking how far away something is [Which stresses me out because I'm not playing with miniatures and our table isn't big enough to have a good map with graph paper But then they don't really Role Play their characters and the only checks them seem to make are perception checks to see if they see anything, and then sometimes they sneak to a new area, perception check, move on. So I end up saying something like, "would you like to check the river. . .," and they're like, "Oh yeah, I check the river," they see nothing, and then they wait for me to I don't know, I just got really frustrated. I did much better last night, I was terrible tonight. All we did was argue and make a few perception checks here and there and then they walked pass the wolves in the room and crossed the river on the West to the ruble and that's where we stopped I had to stop because I was getting so irritated and mad and didn't want to blow up. It's just too much =x --- |

| Bad_Mojo 12/16/19 10:34:40 AM #10 | Thanks Played with 2 of the people last night and they are just outside of the Goblin Cave right now and they're not aware of the encounter as you cross the river where you are kind of introduced to how to sneak pass something without being noticed A quick recap of what has happened so far -
I have 2 other people that want to play so I'm going to run them through this as well, but they're going to start in Phandelver. I'm going to try and get the stranger these two ran into to try to get them [the 2 in town] to go and help the two he saw along the road [These 2] But he doesn't care for them too much [roll lows on checks during the conversation he had with the two of them earlier] but the squire was just a kid and he's worried about him I'm going to try and prevent all 4 of them in real life know that they're going to meet up like this. I am hoping that by the time they can clear the Goblin Cave [Where that Knight guy is, and the flood chamber] that they might run into a bit of trouble on the way out and when rescue arrives it's the two players who couldn't make it last night Hopefully I can get some good RP stuff going. I have a lot of good ideas in my head, but I don't know what my players are going to bite on and what they wont, lol. --- |
