Tea Leaf Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I am suffering from severe DM withdrawal. Now this is my first time hosting 3.5E, I would be overjoyed if I get a few players. Please send questions if you want to know anything. The campaign will be hosted at a slow pace here, by that I mean join in whenever you want but try to not cover several sessions worth of content in a few days. Level 1 characters.

Random Bystander Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 D&D? Count me in!!! Side note: I started DMing my first campaign (for 5e), and am a bit stressed out. Do you have any tips you can share? I want to make the campaign as fun for my players as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started playing 5e as a DM my first ever TTRPG experience, trust me it will turn out okay. Advice: Get I light plan, not full just, shape the most likely paths, plan weak and satisfying encounters (cliche goblins and kobolds are good starting) with an ambush to set players off, try to show them where they will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'S what I've always done Okay that is what I thought, in most campaigns I play in I risk everything with 3d6, my DM is concerned. Also what race and class? I prefer the base list (Mundane I think) Edited January 30, 2023 by The last Fae in the Woods 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told the party I was going to kill them, this one shot was for testing creatures, kills a short army, kills the hell hounds, full heals, gets locked in with roper, the players have yet to forgive me. Wow. That's... Just wow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Leaf Posted January 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Just now, Random Bystander said: Wow. That's... Just wow. Be careful with rest spots in dungeons, don't lock them in, just make them know they risk themselves if they want to leave the dungeon without completing most of it (More than 1 exit), give them rare safe places, make sure they know there are patrolling monsters in the dungeon that will leave them with a few wounds and taking them all out will be hard. Give the players a bit of time limit in the dungeon so they take a few risks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Oh yeesh. So that wasn't just a 4e thing? Looks like instead there're more feats than usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like instead there're more feats than usual. Feats are much more commonly used beyond ability score increases. They almost take the place of class abilities.

The Bald Brandon Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Wasn't 3.5 the one with a hundred base classes or something? Will definitely join, and unless you're willing to walk me through making a character, I'm going to have to watch some YouTube. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 I'm researching it as we speak and basically it seems pretty much the same just with a bunch of extra numbers you have to worry about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
