Now you understand the tragic extent of my failings
AMA
death
yeah so this isnāt happening
behold the ashes of some cool ideas and someā¦ other ideas
Major problems with DR forum - Our fixes
Players donāt want to kill - Unsolved
Players donāt want to rp - Lightly unsolved, consider doing upick style
Grouping up is too mechanically strong - Mire
Itās really hard to cleverly kill without poison - Weird Room Designs + Weird Abilities
Lack of Tony Hawk - God-King Astrapogiannos I
MM not working correctly - This MM
MM being only wrench in the spanner - Mayakalam
Not planning in advance - Planning in advance
Dorm + Cheese Meta - Safe Rooms are your defense mechanism get fucked
Donāt just think of this as a list of negatives
Itās basically just creating a smoother overall experience for this site since itās full of people trying to win hard
lol
lmao even
we did our best
i am actually at least proud of some of the puzzles i did for this one, so i hope someone gets something out of that?
but yeah i realised it probably just
wasnāt worth working on this when thereās so much more thatās worth more, even if i still think the overall idea might be workable
itās just like
do i want to work it? is it advisable for me to work it? and the answer is no
Iām very happy with Tony Hawk
i will say that i might work on another āimmersive simā type game for these forums, just, like, something actually hostable
your turn to die
Itās legitimately just better to host a non-D&D ttrpg or just hard run an rp if you want to run miscs for the most part
why not dnd
