Yalls podcast gave me confidence to start DMing as a player that did like 5 sessions as a player, and me and my players are LOVING it, i love making maps, stories etc. Thank you guys for inspiring me
For the how the fighter got a hellhound. In CoS theres the amber temple that has a bunch of cursed sarcophagi that gives the character that accepts the dark gift it offers and one of them gives a hellhound so my assumption is that the fighter touched that
Got Dr. Drohlin's for a campaign I'm currently playing in as a Moon Druid. The setting is a Skull Island/Land of Lost type where dinosaurs are the main wildlife. Perfect! Love this, ty for the recommendation!
hey it's Kalmia! (No notes on the pronunciation, it was perfect!) Just some extra info and updates. I have played with everyone but the cleric before and they got a pretty strong grasp on DnD, so I don't think it's an issue of inexperience. I'm drafting a message to send to the group chat tonight to explain my feelings and hopefully reach a conclusion. Also, two of the people in this group (the paladin and the warlock) are co-DMing a campaign soon and hopefully all wants will align then!
The episode of CSI with the “baby swallowing hair,” was it the one where the older teen/young adult breathed in the hair from the inside of a rug he was wrapped in while having a “second birth” experience?
Hey y'all! The "Whooooo aaare you? Who who? Who who?" song WAS the theme for the big main CSI show from before it was a franchise - CSI: Las Vegas! It's admittedly the scariest iteration of the show, me and my mom watched it on TV every Tuesday evening and it gave me nightmares a few times but I loved the mystery and justice of it all so I made her keep on schedule 😂
Update: Thanks so much for your helpful advice for my loot mum. I sat down with my mum and spoke to her about how I felt and while she was resistant at first, she did take it on when I said I'd asked you guys for advice. She said she just thought the game felt a bit pointless without any immediate rewards since she was used to that kind of reward system with computer games. So I'm taking your advice and I'm designing a special happy fun ball type device that spits out super low-level 'prizes' that she can get every couple of days and hopefully, that'll be the fix we need at the table. Thanks again.
If optimizing is not Spencer's way to play, that's fine. But also Twilight clerics are absolutely broken, both in combat and out. We LOVED our twilight cleric in our tyranny of dragons campaign, and they had to work really hard not to single handedly sweep combat. So I'm surprised to hear they're struggling with it
Hello! Spencer here. I think it would have been helpful to have mentioned that this is my first campaign. I think that’s why my DM allowed me to pick that subclass, he knew I wouldn’t know how to optimize it! Lol. Both the other two players are veterans and make very good choices in combat. Out of combat is debatable haha! I don’t necessarily want to be an optimizer, but do you have any suggestions as to better serve my party and scratch my combat itch? I really liked their suggestion of adding more descriptions to my actions, something I’ll definitely be implementing. Thanks!
@spencerfreeman1914 Hi there, this is her twilight cleric husband. In combat, I always made sure to activate my channel divinity aura turn 1, which kept the party healthy, and sure that they stayed in their right mind (which was particularly helpful dealing with draconic fear). Then turn 2, I would usually cast a concentration spell. Some of my favorites were aura of vitality to keep people fully healthy, spirit guardians to do tons of damage, or circle of power to shut down enemy mages. After that, I would usually cast toll the dead, guiding bolt, or another healing spell as needed. Outside combat, you have some fun skill options. Clerics can get persuasion proficiency, which is nice for RP. But your main use is as a diviner. You get See Invisibilty as a domain spell which is real nice. But mid-level spells like augury, divination, and Commune can be massive out of combat. Hope that helps!
i had a twilight cleric in CoS and it was soooo busted broken so i’m sure you’re doing some invaluable stuff even if you’re not playing super optimised, you’re doing great i’m sure! but maybe that style of character might not be what you’re into, which is also ok
@spencerfreeman1914 I will have our twilight cleric edit this later, but the quick way to really power up is have the spirit guardians spell and the aura at level 6. Bonus points if you multiclass into paladin for extra auras and attacks.
Saw dinosaurs immediately bought. Was looking for a birthday gift for my friend. I think the discount code is wrong in the description you swapped the P and the B
I personally run a homebrew world but have been running through the modules. Of a nice halfway house between the two. Oh idea for the last story, a spiritual weapon that talks to them as you suggested. However, add on that it's an extension of the celestial they will later summon!

@@ulquiorraschiffer1497 CONGRATULATIONS! That's amazing. So glad in some small way we could help... but remember, it's YOU who did it! 🖤
Dear Loot Mum, You do not always need to find the loot. Also remember cursed things exist so maybe be less loot goblin.

All the CSI shows used music from The Who.
For the how the fighter got a hellhound. In CoS theres the amber temple that has a bunch of cursed sarcophagi that gives the character that accepts the dark gift it offers and one of them gives a hellhound so my assumption is that the fighter touched that
Heck, they could take the Ritual Caster feat for Wizard spells and get a familiar that way.
I also get the creeps from certain theme songs- mine were Unsolved Mysteries and Dark Shadows. And if I was sleepy X files and war of the worlds..
I had a game where the DM was 'PROUD' that his combat was taking 12+ HOURS
Ew, no
"Me when I excrete my Poison" LMAO 🤣 12:57

RPG bot is super helpful in building and playing optimised characters !

Miami was "won't get fooled again"
"Do you like dinos, Do you like d&d" 👀👀
Saw dinosaurs immediately bought. Was looking for a birthday gift for my friend.
I think the discount code is wrong in the description you swapped the P and the B
Wooohhhoooo!! If they like dinos and D&D, they're gonna love it hahah. And omg THANK YOU for letting me know about the typo
Going to the shops to buy milk to make pancakes later, but I'm not eating anything right now :D
