My favorite is when the DM asks this about some seemingly innocuous action like “OK so you step on the tile then?” “So you pick up the goblet?” And then it’s like well I didn’t have any doubts until this exact moment.
"So you touched the doorknob? And where is everyone standing?"
Oh uhhhh my character was actually still looking at those statues in the other room. So he’s waaay back.
"You hear a rumble as the statues suddenly come to life. Roll initiative."
Dont forget to also do it even of nothing happens
The one I picked up from my buddy whenever they want to do something colossally stupid or otherwise unwise is “you can certainly try.” When they hear that they always stop in their tracks and consider how badly they want to do it lol
Haha I think that might be from Matt Mercer. He says that a lot.
Oh nice. Believe it or not I haven’t watched/listened to any of his games!
Pretty big barrier to entry with how long the episodes are so I get it. They’re fun to put on in the background but then sometimes I miss key things. Matt is an amazing DM but I think some of the more edited dnd content is a better viewing/listening experience.
Yeah. I tried episode 1, but for me there are too many players. I enjoy smaller tables. 4 is the sweet spot player wise. But I did enjoyed the animated series
The audio quality for Vox Machina when I tried to start was unbearable not gonna lie
Yeah that is a tough place to start. It only lasts for a few episodes so you could power through but if you can’t take it then you could also just skip ahead and read a summary. Those early episodes aren’t super plot critical or anything.
