You Know What I'm Obsessed With? How Internet Slang Is Adapted To Different Languages

how about giving them personal quests that are connected to each other? that gives players an opportunity to offer each other help when they realize that there is a connection. or quests that can be solved using characters' backgrounds or connections. like "oh, we need to track down those stolen goods, isn't one of us actually a former smuggler?" stuff like that it's easier to do in the beginning of campaign, but can be done in the middle as well also since it's ttrpg newbies we are talking about, I think it's worth noting that not all players even enjoy roleplaying character bonds and all that. People can still have a lot of fun and be active in a story while having a vaguest idea of what makes them to do it together. new players and GMs often get their idea of what d&d is from there, but it's far from the only way to play and not the only valid one.

what I'm trying to say with it is - if you try all the advice and still can't push some of the players in the direction that you want them to go, don't feel discouraged. it doesn't necessarily mean that you did a bad job as a GM. it could mean that they are looking for their style of TTRPG and this is simply not it. I saw countless players who came into the hobby from critical role only to discover that they actually don't enjoy being in character, or actually doing character development rather then watching it. all they want is to be plopped into a dungeon with minimal context and die a thousand funny deaths. or maybe they want to participate in a campaign where everyone have developed proper character bonds and all that, but want to be that guy who just tugs along and lockpicks locks for all those fancy roleplaying people. as long as everyone is having fun it's actually a valid option too. it's more of a tangent than an advice on the given topic, but.. yeah.

Fellow DND / ttrpg enthusiasts

I'm currently running my first campaign in DND 5e and have now encountered the problem that the party doesn't seem to be bonding naturally.

Does anyone have recommendations or prompts what I could implement in the session to make their characters open up a bit, or warm up to one another?

Hope he's okay

Found this lovely gal at a thrift store and painted her some friends

(I wanted to upload some before pictures too, but Tumblr just won't let me😭)

Indie game idea...

So basically those videos where they make souls bosses fight each other

+ cartoon making games for kids

+ BattleBots

You make your own bosses from different parts, customize their moveset, customize the arena, and watch them fight

You can also share your bosses with other people and participate in tournaments

I can't stress enough how happy I am to see someone with the same type of brain worms that i have

dragons are nice and all but what if they had cool eggs like sharks or manta rays

preparations for the fair

I will never be online again if you need me I'll be in the Elden Ring DLC

I CRAVE to choose violence and to argue with every 5th text post I see

But last time when I wrote a cohesive text in English was in 2011 for an exam and it wasn't even an important exam for me, I put much more effort into chemistry

And now the most compelling argument I can make is "u stupid thing bad lmao"

Witch is more than enough for the internet, I'm aware of that, but it's not what I CRAVE
