Bernaldo B. Regardless of what the DMG says, what is your take on players having a base? Is there a Lazy Base System somewhere in your books?
Jon. I really like miniatures, maps, dungeon tiles etc. It's a nice hobby in itself to paint minis and make dioramas, like the Dwarven Forge stuff that you've talked about. My issue is that I think that combat is way better using the "theatre of the mind". I feel the players get much more immersed and focus more on the drama than positions and tactics. This bothers me slightly since I'd love to use all my miniatures and stuff! What can I do to make my minis and maps combats more fun and engaging?
Rafael. Do you have any post-session checklist or LazyDM activities you find useful to do just after a session (or the day after)? Anything that might ease the prep for the next session or foster ideas to think in between sessions.
Ronald B. I have been DMing and playing D&D for 11 years and I think I have a pretty good handle on running games, rules, rule of cool, etc. My biggest challenge is with role playing. I just flat our struggle with RPing especially when it comes to answering PC questions while trying to stay in character, let alone using a voice or accent (I practice accents but then chicken out). Every NPC who the PCs talk to sounds like me just answering their question as best I can. What advice do you have to practice role playing and staying in character during play?
Great Diviner Games. What’s one of your favourite monster abilities to excite players at the table?
Spike. I really enjoy campaign outlines you have your website and in the City of Arches. I actually ran your Harvesters of World campaign outline pretty successfully. Do you have any advice on making your personal campaign outlines? The common advice is only focus on your next session. However I find them helpful even if I divert wildly from them eventually. I really would like to make my own.
I'm a recent addition to the hobby only starting in 2019. About the time I started playing a certain event happened that led to everyone being home. So my only experiences with TTRPGS are online. What kind of tips would you give to someone who is transitioning from online only DM'ing to an in person setting.
