Not wanting a cat doesn't mean won't care for a cat. I said no to another cat because I'm not prepared to care for it on top of everything else I've got going on.

This whole "didn't want a cat but is secretly a softy" thing needs to die.

God bound maybe? I think the intent is for you to truly operate in a global scale shaping it's governments and people to your desire. There's a few tweaks people suggest to the math to balance it a little better if you choose to run it, if not might at least give some ideas. There's a faction mechanic that I've heard good things about that sounds like what you're asking for

I love doing this to my players. They go to loot a goblin body in a cave and find a baby rattle or something. They always get so upset.

I could see taking that to it's max as a fun thing. An evil king wants a town cleared out so he can build a highway through it. It's the players job to clear the town

I did ask and she just said she wants to cause trouble and be the bad guy. I know she's big into serial killers so more the skin babies side I'd guess.

I like the "give them the baddies' role" idea. I'll think on that one, thanks

 

Howdy folks.

A friend of mine has been itching to play some DnD and I drew the short straw to run it. I don't think we have time for more than a one shot so I come for ideas.

Normally I'm good with coming up with stuff but she wants to do something where they get to play as evil instead of your typical heroes. My problem is everything I come up with just feels like typical hero quest but called evil. Like "kidnap the princess" just feels like a re-skin of "rescue the princess". Hoping y'all have something more to get me thinking.

I am aware of the Critical Role Mordor one shot that I'll take some inspiration from.

Thanks in advance y'all

Welcome to the club and you're spot on. I buy a few fake mice and stuff but for years my cats have played mostly with: stolen hair ties, a green washcloth (but only that one, no idea), a laser pointer, and some string (put away after each session so he doesn't eat it).

If Shroombeard isn't a Circle of Spores druid I'll eat my mushroom hat.

As a DM. I'd totally let a player pick a new body each day or something. Like up to Dex mod per long rest you can take 10 minutes to swap bodies or something. And you get stat modifiers based on which body you have.

Break the game? Maybe. Fun? Definitely in the right hands

It's really fun. I just got the Blu-rays so my wife could watch it for the first time after she enjoyed Eureka and Warehouse 13 with me. @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com I do recommend

I've almost got enough people that I'm thinking about running a cycling game. Thinking about something Warehouse 13 or Stargate style where each session will be a mission. I'll have players sign up for which mission they're available and they'll be the "away team". I'm hoping it reduces the scheduling nonsense.

I know it's just for a joke but it annoys me they've got two Autobots and two Decepticons.
