    I watch the first half live most weeks while I read a book or finish work, then will usually finish over lunch break while doing work.

    Only in the 19 counties with positive cases. And we're testing almost 100 people a day across the state, so you can rest assured this will be effective.

    I have 1 set of the most boring generic dice because I showed up for a pick up game one shot at a local board game store for my first ever session and realized I didn’t have any dice.

    I regret nothing, poop brown ugly dice roll the best anyways. Everyone knows this.

    Literally was just about post I am willing to run session 2 Friday for whoever can make it.

    In a perfect world, I would like everyone to be able to make every game, but with 5-7 adults that’s just not possible. So we’ll play with who is there and since the sessions are only 2 hours it’s not going to miss much or progress much.

    If you aren’t a regular but want to hop in as a guest, more then merrier. I’ll just beef up the CR for the fights. Level 2 characters now for all unless you want to start at level 1.

    Start at 9pm CST as usual. Reap your rewards with Bobby Boucher’s dad and then I’ve got open world choices for you boys.

    Matt and Marisha doing a live Q&A on twitch about the new book and their house is filling with smoke on live feed because I don't think Marisha knows how to work the fireplace. Now the smoke alarm is going off :laugh:

    It’s good. Had some technical issues via discord. It’s weird trying not to talk over others because I’m use to seeing faces and that talking lead up. But RonBurgundy is doing awesome

    I once read something about don’t over prepare storylines because your players might blow past them.

    I had some amazing plot lines with sessions and sessions worth of ideas that I probably can’t use anymore.

    noob DM issues, I guess. Maybe I’ll be able to recycle them later. Probably be able to at some point.

    I really like the ease of battle map set up I’m using, roll20 might work better but with everything happening in my life with Covid I don’t have time to learn it.

    Yeah never scrap any idea, you will have opportunities to repurpose almost everything. Either later on in this campaign or in another campaign.

    Also, now that I introduced him, if anyone in the group wanted to DM a session of the campaign, you could set up a session for a bounty from the Watchman and run it.

    let me know if you are interested in doing that.

    Hi, yes. I’d like to set a bounty for the one called Orion. I fear he has a strange sense of justice.

    You can easily just move those plot lines to the next town/dungeon and figure out the rest.

    what are peoples thought on multi-classing? They do it a ton on crit role but it feels like in general its not a good idea. For casters is makes very little sense but even for the martial classes I'm not sure it makes much sense until you get into the double digit levels.

    3 levels in warlock with the rest in sorcerer is incredibly strong.

    A 1 level hexblade dip makes for a pretty insane lockadin.

    I dislike min/max D&D players. It is not a game you “win”.

    Play your character.

    Speaking of min/maxing, I downloaded Starcraft 2 this weekend. It was like riding a bike.

    Ok, put this in discord but also putting it here since not everyone checks discord:

    for my own knowledge when thinking about designing sessions, please rate on scale of 1-10 your PERSONAL interest in the following:

    Bounty Hunting:
    Dungeon diving/exploring:
    Political intrigue:
    World exploration:
    Treasure Hunting:
    Sneaking/Spying non-combat encounters:
    RP’ing your character/back story/inter party RP:
