A warm Barovian welcome to you! The setting of Curse of Strahd is a nod to Bram Stoker's Dracula, and we have been waiting to pull it out to play for a very long time. While it's a published adventure, none of the players know what to expect.  So pull up your socks, prepare your garlic wreaths, and sharpen your stakes, cause there's a vampire to be hunted!-----I'm Kenneth, your humble Dungeon Master (DM), and this is Curse of Strahd, a published 5th Edition Adventure. My friends and I love Dungeons & Dragons, so I came up with the silly idea of recording our sessions for posterity. No one's a professional, so audio will be choppy, accents will change, and rules WILL be made up. Sound effects are just a bonus. Thank you, and we hope you enjoying listening to us as much as we love playing D&D!-----Players in this episode:Kenneth as Dungeon MasterJonathan as Arthur | Triton FighterChee Wee as Ssslimek | Lizardfolk RogueNathaniel as Kula Kulu | Yuan-Ti SorcerorRecorded on 14th July 2019-----Artwork by: Nathaniel Yeowww.instagram.com/nathinkyeoAudio Resources from:www.incompetech.comwww.ambient-mixer.comwww.freesound.orgSupport the show (http://www.patreon.com/nerdsomnia)

It's the heart of every D&D story: The player characters did something crazy and their whacky adventures in getting themselves out. That's what tabletop RPGs are all about, no video game will ever let players embrace free will and agency like a pen-and-paper role-playing game, and we'd never want it any other way. But it's also where playing by the book stops and the real art of being a dungeon master (or any game master) begins. Can you think on your feet to keep the game running as the players carry out their crazy plans? Or will you panic and squash the fun? In this episode, Thorin, Tony and Dave talk about 19 of the craziest stunts players have pulled in their games and how they bent the systems to make it happen — or sometimes didn't. Along the way, hear our best secrets for adlibbing and adjudicating some of the hardest situations DMs face. 2:00 That's Just D&D 4:00 Stunt 1: Oblivious in Bloodstone 2 6:00 Stunt 2: The Sphere of Annihilation is not an illusion 11:00 Stunt 3: Down the Blue Hole in Weird New Jersey 14:00 Stunt 4: Vorpal sword tricks, and just how sharp is a magic sword? 16:00 Stunt 5: The Deck of Many Things and a 2nd Edition Wild Mage with BIIIG plans … that only kinda worked. 20:00 DMing difficult wishes 33:00 Stunt 6: Wishing a Storm Giant into an itty-bitty wizard body, and how we made it balanced (more or less) with level-appropriate benchmarks 40:00 Stunt 7: Hawk Hogan! Supporting a real Barovian hero's wrestling obsession 43:00 Appreciating D&D 5E's Wish limits and bounded accuracy 47:00 Stunt 8: Balancing cool: Could the players hotwire Baba Lysaga's hut? Should they? 50:00 Stunt 9: High-level play and PC's wielding god-like powers 53:00 Stunt 10: PCs inventing spells, powers and magic items 58:00 Stunt 11: Crazy at low-level: The Paladin that talked down a raging Brontosaurus and Oathbreaker Anti-Paladin with the power of faith 61:00 Stunt 12: Species tension with the old Human Wizard and the trouble it got him into 64:00 Stunt 13: Mad Wizard X 13: Abusing the 2E Clone spell 66:00 Stunt 14: The wizard who seduced the Bronze Lich 69:00 Stunt 15: Rifts mutant shenanigans: Robbing Fort Knox with Super Strength and taking the money to another dimension 73:00 Tips for adjudicating crazy player stunts 76:00 Why DM-player trust is not optional 80:00 Stunt 16: The players that stormed directly into Strahd's castle … and won 82:00 Stunt 17: Player enterprise: Trying to start an orphan-run newspaper to spread the party's legend 88:00 Stunt 18: The PC who tried to create a Venom suit … failed and became a Venom suit … then wound up being worn by another PC who had no clue. 93:00 Stunt 19: The Wizard that blew himself to molecules with a 1st Edition bouncing chain lightning 95:00 Final thoughts Support this podcast

Players know speed kills, but DMs know lack of pace can wipe out whole games. How many encounters should you get through in a session? How long should combat take? What do you do when the players are board? How can you adjust pace if things are going to fast or too slow? In this episode, Thorin, Tony and Dave reveal the details of their three wildly different pacing strategies and how they play out at the table, along with how they spot trouble and the adjustments they make when things aren't going to plan. 1:00 Three DMs, three markedly different pacing strategies 2:00 Dave adjusts to Barovian time 5:00 Is one combat per session enough for Thorin's Wanderers? 8:00 How Tony turns seven maps per session in Storm King's Thunder 11:00 Advancement speed: How does the XP chart influence game pace? (And, is WotC skewing XP to favor published modules with milestone leveling?) 19:00 Skyrim vs. Devil May Cry: Should your games ramble across multiple sessions or play out like self-contained episodes? 22:00 How session frequency (monthly/weekly/daily) and platform (Roll20) impact pace 26:00 Balancing roleplay and combat 30:00 Rewards and pacing: What makes it feel worthwhile for the players to be there? 39:00 How the party's playstyle impacts game pace — and what DMs do that trains them 46:00 Whose responsibility is player engagement? (i.e. Am I getting paid to drag your lazy butt on an adventure?) 51:00 Finding character motivations when the players don't have them 64:00 Ways to optimize the pace of your game 72:00 Optimizing initiative order 74:00 Final thoughts: What do you plan to get done in a night and how do you adjust if it's not getting done Support this podcast

As an audience, you've been incredible and it's just a little something from us to you to say thanks. Hopefully this can get you through some solid commute time to wherever you may be headed. And if you're not headed anywhere, listen to it anyways? Or if you're around family, grab your closest boombox (boombox? Yes, boombox) and blast that s&%#.

The group goes deep into a Werewolves den
