      With all the really pretty handmade wooden tabletops that I've seen, I fully support that.

  3. Guys...

    How in the heck do I DM a decent campaign?

    (I'm talking about D&D, btw, in case you weren't aware)

    All of my sessions are just super boring combat montages and nothing ever happens. If I present the players with anything other than a monster and a roll for initiative, then they just deal with it as fast as possible and get to killing another demon. It's just dice rolling after dice rolling after dice rolling. I absolutely loathe every minute of it and nothing I can find offers any solution.

    So I'm not looking for one of those vague responses like "adapt to your players" or "give them something else to do." If any of you has some sort of miracle cure for this then I'd love to hear it.

      Are they getting bored or are just you getting bored? Because, if it's the first then you should ask them what they want. If it's the second.. then your playing styles probably don't match.

      Simple make it more worth their while to roleplay.

      Example, looting corpses, tell them that if they just roll to search they will get random loot, but if they rollplay the search they will get set rewards.

      "I check inside his boots"

      "You find a knife inside"

      etc

      I'll also recommend my mentor for DMing, because DM Lair is awesome

  4. "I intend to end the bloodshed, Tomad, by shedding but a little more of it." Ivian stood. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have my estate to tend to. I've been spending the past week improving the working conditions and payment of my servants there, in case you're wondering how I act in my own home."
  5. "Tomad, all the kings before me have ruled the same way: by an iron hand. Why do you think they all fell so fast?" Ivian cut himself another slice of cake. "In case you haven't noticed, though, my approval ratings are significantly higher than those who came before me. If I rule the Raveness by the sword and my kingdom by clemency, then where's the harm? She doesn't represent the citizens of this nation."
  6. "Because I don't want to."
  7. "Of course." The king nodded at his guards. "Because you're the one with the cards here. In any case, you and Caden will now take your honeymoon at his private estate for the traditional time."
  8. Ivian snapped his fingers again. The guards let her go. "Remember this the next time you underestimate me."
  9. Ivian snapped his fingers. Two soldiers grabbed the Raveness and forced her to her knees, pushing her head down. A third grabbed a bowl, and a fourth grabbed an axe.
  10. "My profession goes by many names. Monster hunter, demon slayer, auror--in short, what I do is hunt and either detain or dispatch magical creatures. As for who hired me... I do not know. It's a bad habit to question the one handing you coins."
  11. "Not just her. All of you. I've been hired to kill you, but I have no intention of following through with that."
  12. "Would you like me to do it right now? I have some guards." Ivian snapped his fingers, and the guards approached them with their spears at the ready.
  13. Alright guys, should I get Undertale or Hollow Knight first?

      Hollow Knight, I think. I've played a bit and it's fun.

      But those are also fine options

  14. "Oh, yes! I could have your husband do it. That'd be fun."
  15. "If you would prefer I could have you executed. I'm sure nobody would object."
  16. "And I suppose that only you are allowed to give injuries to people in this kingdom, then?"
  17. "Is this the culmination of three days' worth of research into me, Raveness, or did you just come to that conclusion on the spot?"
  18. "You're not our only interrogator and I know full well what I'm doing."
  19. "Does an assassin need a reason to kill his king?"
  20. "You'll be relieved of duty for a month, Raveness, for your honeymoon."
