That doesn't answer the question todd

When does it stop being a brussel sprout and just becomes a brussel

😱

That kid carrying the gun looks 10

It breaks my heart that I can't even engage in social media about this. The first 6 months of this iteration of Israeli violence nearly broke me as a person.

I don't have any words for this horror.

And they have to positively id the dead for it to count in the official count. So someone who is "missing" when the house they were sleeping in gets bombed doesn't count.

Congrats on the sex

It's been said a few times in the thread to use the rule of three.

The idea is to let your players fail without hard consequences. That is the entire game. Let them fail their persuasion on the barkeep because you have two more interrogations you can let them succeed at. Let them fail their investigation of the warehouse because you have two other locations.

It's a shared story, let them use their creativity to solve the puzzle you create.

Tiktok thinks I'm a black trans lesbian so you know. Winning.

The ESPN announcers non stop taking about ND strength of schedule is making fucking furious. Yeah we know you own the sec network and make more money if they send more teams to the playoffs but holy shit there is fucking 0 justification keeping a 1 loss Notre Dame team out of a 12 team fucking playoff.

This is really hard to do and requires a lot of preparation (and players on the same page). If it's home brewed, especially.

The DM needs to have a long goal (get the lich) and then short term things to accomplish. After establishing whatever the current goal is, the DM should follow the rule of 3, any given task should have 3+ solutions each solution catering to a player (so they can be the hero of the session). This gives players agency in figuring out how to solve the problem and still direction to solving the problem.

In order to prepare, the DM needs to have lists of throw away NPCs to facilitate player freedom and have prepared the necessary information. As an example: the local shoemaker is missing and this follows a pattern of the townsfolk disappearing on the full moon. The party wants to talk to the barkeep or the local guard captain or the tramp or the eccentric folk healer. The DM should have the clue prepped (the shoemaker liked to walk to the pond at night and fish) but have unique characters ready for however the party chooses to pursue the clue. This would be one path for the rule of three.

This doesn't have to be done but to do it well takes a lot of preparation.

Good post
