It is not transactional. Trying to weigh something good against the realities of everyday life is not helpful for enjoying the good thing. You have to go through all those everyday things anyway. Best enjoy the things that are simply ejoyable.

    To the surprise of absolutely no one. What a god damn farce this was. Cannot wait for the day the scattered remains of MAGA tries to do the same with his bloated corpse.

    They know what they're doing when it comes to funneling money into their own pockets, I agree here. But they'll do it in such a hamfisted way, that it will bring down the entire house of cards, because they don't understand or bother to understand the systems they're pilfering. Though, this might very well be part of what they want to accomplish anyway.

    If Trump takes over the FED, the US economy will go into an absolute tailspin and depression. The only reason inflation has been sort of brought back under control is the FED. Trump has no fucking clue what he's doing on a monetary level and neither does any of his ghouls and cronies.

    Was it really just reddit? I seem to remeber that other sanctuaries bad mouthed them viciously as well because it is such a war for donations to keep their operations going, so they fight each other? Maybe that was also part of it. Either way, atrocious and a great loss.

    Good day everyone, hope you're doing well!

    I've made a new video and blog post on the topic of how to deal with sessions where people can't make it.

    My solution is fairly simple but effective: The Woven Dream, a state of dreaming where party members experience shared dreams. Besides allowing the group to play instead of skipping a session, it also allows you to really dig into the background of any (or all) of the present characters.

    It's not something that'll work every time, but it has served me really well, and I wanted to share the idea with you.

    I've also taken the feedback from this and other communities around here and my stuff isn't just videos anymore, but blog posts as well and the blog posts have a full audio narration of the blog post for those that prefer podcasts or to account for accessibility.

    Hope it gives you some inspiration!

    Hey everyone!

    As a DM, I struggle a lot with juggling all the various things the party should get and receive. One of my greater shortcomings has been dealing with magic items.

    So to help myself deal with that, I've been working on a little system to approach magic items differently. The basic idea is that instead of only letting players loot, be rewarded with or buy magic items, the dungeon master could go and enchant the equipment that the characters already have.

    This could mean taking a magic item that exists and applying those effects to what they have through various means or creating effects that are fully tailored to not just the character but also the player.

    The enchantments could come from external sources or even the pure power of the character who carries it.

    Here's the blog post going into some depth on it all and including some examples: https://impheim.com/2023/09/magic-items-in-ttrpgs-embrace-enchantments/

    And here's the little video I made on the topic: https://youtu.be/GSnCd2Mbr9U

    Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
