"A year ago, I started doing feedback in most of my games — and it turned out that all the games with feedback started improving. Feedback has a system and one important RULE: Everything you say needs to be formulated as friendly and nice as possible. NO: “You suck.” YES: “I didn’t like that — can we think of a solution to change it?” One person starts. The next in line is the one who got the rose, until everybody has had their turn. It takes about 10–30 minutes, depending on whether there was an issue in the game. 1. The Rose Given to another player for good roleplay — for something you did that was cool or impressive in character. 2. The Star Usually goes to the DM. It’s given for your favorite scene of the session — a nice setting, map, cool NPC interaction, or combat. Basically, for something the DM did in their role that you really liked. Sometimes, players roleplay can create a cool scene — a star can be awarded to them as well. 3. The Wish For something you’d like to happen in a future session, or for behavior you’d like to kindly ask to stop. It’s for things you didn’t like in the game and wish to see changed for the better. This is the place for positive critique — it’s not for shitting on someone. It’s for bringing up small gripes that can be solved through a friendly, solution-oriented conversation. WHY DO I DO THIS? There are several reasons: 1. To solve small problems right away instead of letting them fester until they explode and end up on RPG horror story. 2. DMs can be self-conscious about things in the game. This helps them hear what the players actually enjoy. 3. We, as humans, don’t get enough compliments — and many of us are bad at receiving them. This gives us the chance to say nice things to others and hear nice things ourselves. It inspires greatness. 4. It helps with party dynamics. Especially in online games, people often just drop out of the call after the session. This brings the focus back to the players and back into real life.

Hi folks! I’m curious what’s your secret sauce for creating NPCs that your players actually remember (and care about)? Is it their quirks, voices, or backstories? Share your favorites or tips below I’m here to learn and trade ideas! 🤝

Hello guys. I am curious to hear what characters you are playing at the moment. I'll start with a short intro to the setting 🙂 I am currently playing in a campaign set in a homebrew world named Usalia. In this 2nd campaign, in this world, this time we are playing in the continent Emerise Empire - a desert land filled with uneasy alliances between great clans and a heavy dose of honor and traditions. And more importantly, a new resource called Unobtanium, which has groundbreaking properties for magical Tech. Something the people of Emerise is not interested in, since it would completely change their way of life. This combination is halting technical progression, wich have left opportunity for outside influences, whom promise power and wealth to the Emperor of Eremise. This is a recipe for nationwide conflict and a legitimate reason for other Clans to challenge the current Emperor for the seat of power. Aight, so. I'm playing a half elf Swashbuckler rouge/warlock. I was not ment to, since I really liked @Sage Crane swashbuckler battlemaster with double bladed scimitar. Alas, at some point in the story, we freed an old spirit from a tomb, and I used that opportunity to get a ginie patrion. Here is the build Rouge (Swashbuckler) 4 lvl. Warlock (ginie) 5 lvl. pact of the chain Invocations: Eldritch mind gift of the ever living ones ( we play with no auto full hp on long rest) Mask of many faces Feats: Lvl 4 rouge - elven accuracy In combat: Plays like a melee rouge. Going in with the spell shadow blade and booming blade and tries to land one good hit, with the help of elven accuracy/advantage from familiar or being on dim light or darkness. That's 4d8 + 2d6 + 8 (and we do like crits) And then move away to try and trigger 2d8 from booming. Out of combat. I'm high charisma with expertise skills to back it up. My little imp buddy is so great for scouting and infiltration. Basically all my spells from warlock goes into infiltration and espionage.
