Fudging Dice is DMing for Satan
  • Yup. This covers "forgetful players", but it also helps me: a DM with ADHD that can get very lost in "meatspace" ("which of these four monsters that look exactly the same took 40 damage, again?" or "I am sure I had that monster token here somewhere...")

    So I make tokens with pictures for the creatures on the top and space on the bottom to scribble the damage with dry-erase marker. Really helps.

    Also: adding up is much faster than subtracting damage

    Really recommend that method for anybody that wants to try and speed up combat

  • Adding in to the way of "tracking health secretly", there's a way, but you gotta think in reverse:

    Track damage, not health. Just jot down quickly on paper how much HP an enemy has and track damage dealt, which can be a public info anyway

    If you figure HP needs changing, change it on the fly on the paper and adjust your description of the scene

  • The joke in our sessions was always that she was inadvertently saying things that could be misconstrued as flirting, out of pure innocence.

    Oh, I see! The "if you wish anything you have to but ask" with the small hair-over-mouth thing seemed direct to me, but this additional context helps ^^

    Also, thanks for sharing campaign detail of how it went live! It's always fun to know how it played you in the table =)


    The comic where Razira asking Konsi out on a date is however, a departure from my normal form. It is intended to be the start of an actual "story arc"

    Now that I already know the character, I have to say I'm really liking this approach and getting to follow her on a narrative ^^

  • When one of your party members starts acting weird.
  • Speaking of which, I haven't quite understood what happened to make Razira ask Konsi out

    Konsi was originally flirting with her and Razira was oblivious. Now suddenly Razira has asked her out, but Konsi is the one being oblivious/ not believing it

    What happened to cause this sudden change?
