Do you like it when bad things happen to your character?
2 people marked this as a favorite.

I have more fun if I feel like my decisions matter. I would be perfectly happy for my PC to die or permanently lose some gear because my decisions put my PC in danger.

If I start to feel like my characters are not in danger, I take bigger and bigger risks until I get the danger I crave.

Rukkh hands Baron Altheon his shovel. (It's on Rukkh's char. sheet, no doubt.)

Magic Items That Destroy Worlds

I was disappointed to learn that Trapped Puzzle Box does not summon cenobites.
Drider strategy
1 person marked this as a favorite.

Driders are smart. Here are a few ideas:
*The drider spends the whole time up on the ceiling or walls, as far from PCs as possible.
*The drider has deliberately made the floor slippery and/or cluttered with trash and webs, making it difficult terrain.
*Dancing lights and ghost sound can draw the PCs further into the cave. The drider can cast web to block the entrance from 160' away.
*There are pits or other traps concealed beneath the webs and dust on the floor.
*Let the drider use some of its double treasure to help it fight the PCs.
*Let the drider take full advantage of its 120' darkvision to engage the PCs from range.
*If the PCs are relying on a single light source, have the drider attack that light with dispel magic or deeper darkness.
*Split the party by Casting Suggestion: "go find for reinforcements." If the party is all within 30' of each other, the drider can catch all of them in the area of effect. Someone is likely to fail the save.
*Give the drider an escape plan for if it takes 30+ damage. Maybe a potion of fly or gaseous form and a hole in the ceiling?

You mention you're having trouble challenging your PCs. Do many of your encounters feature a single foe? How many encounters are there in a typical adventuring day?

When I was new to DMing I used xp as a way to pace level gain. Now I that I have more experience, I tell the party to level when they accomplish major progress.
Haunting of Harrowstone question
2 people marked this as a favorite.

Here's a sidequest that went over well with my group, and allowed them to earn some trust:
Benjan's deputies...

Sidequest:

... are refusing to help, so he asks the PCs. See, the past two times the tax collectors from the capital swung through to collect, the Vander family (Wren, Brae, Ceela, and Gurdy) pled hardship and were covered out of the Ravengro community chest. It's time for the Vanders to pay up, and that's why, Benjan thinks, no one has seen the Vanders in town for days. Benjan's usual deputies aren't willing to be seen as strong-arming a farm family. Benjan dispenses nets, saps, and manacles to PCs willing to help.

Actually, Father Charlatan has been visiting the family members in dreams. He has convinced them that they are chosen, and to prepare for his coming by fortifying their house and gathering all their valuables. The Vanders (except for the child Gurdy) fight the PCs, calling them jealous usurpers, demanding that they are "Father's chosen." Scrawled sayings like "Father is coming" are everywhere.

Haunts: I recommend being flexible with the mechanics. If the characters come up with a plausible approach to dealing with them, let it be at least partially effective. You can increase the number of haunt-appropriate consumables if need be.

Trust: Before starting, I told the players that the adventure has a mechanic for gaining the trust of the populace. I asked whether it would be more fun for this to be open, earning trust points like xp, or for me to handle it "behind the screen". They were unanimous in preference of the latter. Then I had Kendra play up the idea that the townsfolk were essentially good people, but had become distrustful and reserved as a mysterious malaise settles across the region. The PCs then split their in-town efforts between research and earning trust.

I wouldn't run a campaign for a player who had read it.

Sounds like you've put a good amount of thought and work into the campaign. My suggestion is do not run it with these players. Give these players a farcical adventure you all can enjoy and save the good stuff for a party of like minds.

My one nonnegotiable rule is "No distrustful loners."

In my games neutral is the default alignment for intelligent creatures. Only exceptionally good/evil/lawful/chaotic characters have a non-neutral alignment.
