The solution: cut cake in a X, then cut it perpendicular to the floor. Dunno how to phrase that better.

should probably clarify straight cuts

My DM sucks, we wanted to pool our money from character creation and buy two elephants. He didn't let us. Even though its right there in the book in the transportation table!


The problem with most DMs is that they aren't about fun and only fun, and the problem with the fun ones is that they're often not great at anything that isn't maximizing fun.

I always thought starting gear shouldn't be based on some arbitrary rule.

Characters starting gold/items should be based on character back story. Thats open to abuse, but as a DM if you think it's being abused you just go "lol no"


In Exalted (2E), you were given a certain number of "background points" that you could distribute among various backgrounds, which provided you with things ranging from money to powerful artifacts to allies with info in various cities, etc. Terrestrial exalted, who're more established and affluent in the world than many other types, started off with more background points than other types, for example. Was a good system. In 3E it's been merged with the "Merits and Flaws" system, which is used to get various qualities like being ambidextrous, or a faster than average runner, etc. Still seems good - I like this approach much more than the d&d approach, although 4th edition had backgrounds that gave various benefits.


Shadowrun's Character Creation (at least in 5e) is also a lot like this: you can have higher stats, but you'll start with less money for gear. You can get a ton of spells or whatever-the-tech-equivalents-are-called, but you might cast worst or have less Edge. You might get a race with a bunch of innate bonuses, but you'd have to take on a lot of flaws to purchase other things you want in your build.

It's definitely more robust than D&D's system, no matter how you look at it imo. Sadly, I've never gotten to try it out (plus I barely remember my Exalted character creation process at this point).

The DM has the power to do whatever he wants. Full stop. The base rules are a great starting point and guide, but it is ultimately up to the DM to decide any and everything.

So sure, they could be a band of aristocrats throwing money this way and that. But that tends to attract attention, and greedy bandits will likely try to take advantage of that.

I saw it as more it's the DM and the players working together to create a fun experience. The DM will try and work around/encourage things the players want to do to make their characters unique, and at the same time the players don't try and design a character that completely breaks any chance of a good game.

Of course you can have campaigns where the players are conciously trying to ruin the DM's day, or where the DM is intentionally making life as hard as possible for the players, but unless it's pre-arranged it's kind of a dick move. Especially if one player is trying to ruin everything and the others just want to play.

As long as everyone is on the same page though, you can do literally whatever


Oh, totally. I'd probably allow them to ride the elephant for a little bit, but eventually there would be inevitable logistical issues (where the fuck do you stable an elephant when visiting the city???)

I'm really enjoying my the current campaign I'm DMing because it is just what you say - players and DM playing off of each other and building a narrative. One of my players frequently uses Speak with Animals frequently, so I have to play the voice of deer, squirrels, etc... They kill random/important NPCs, and so I have to work to build around that, and it's plenty of fun for me without going so far as to intentionally obstruct them.

If anyone has any good ideas for a good puzzle/challenge/funhouse room, I struggled coming up with an extra room for their current dungeon. Something fairly simple that doesn't necessarily have to have any fighting. Currently, the remaining rooms are:

+ Show Spoiler +
-Room with a button, press the button and a visual timer starts. They can only continue on once the timer hits 0.

-Room with a (living) door that has "The password is monkey" over it. The trick is that they have to get the door to say "monkey" to pass.

-Boss fight - pretty much directly ripped from Phantom Ganon in OoT. Crazy wizard riding a Nightmare. Two phases - attacking out of paintings and then fighting the wizard.
- Should they survive this, they'll get a +1 AC cloack and a Die of Fates (d100 - roll on Wild Magic table). They'll also find what they think is Dust of Disappearance, but will turn out to be Dust of Coughing and Sneezing


I once wrote down ideas for a bunch of different kinds of "locks," one of which became the corpse door in the Library ("the lock is a corpse you must reassemble"). The others were:
  • "The lock is a party and you must seduce the key." (Illusions + skill/RP challenge)
  • "The lock is a maze and the tumblers must be pushed through." (Zelda style block puzzle)
  • "The lock is an audience and you must play their favorite song." (Call and response "logic" puzzle, like Legend of the Zoombini's and the pizza trolls, if anyone gets THAT reference)

Feel free to use any of them if they appeal to you.


DUDE

ZOOMBINIS WAS MY SHIT

Though in retrospect that game was kind of sad because you'd end us leaving behind Zoombinis along the way and IIRC some of them would "die".

I actually watched a Lets Play a few months ago when I couldn't sleep. Good memories

Been a crazy day. Woke up and thought it was an hour earlier than it really was. Was in my sweats reading a book with some coffee when I was supposed to be at work lol. Sigh...

Brain fart. My spatial reasoning is awful.


Sounds more like terminology issue? Anyway that only works with cakes that are uniform throughout and not ones that have multiple layers.

Also doesn't work on cakes with icing, crust or any kind of topping

So like, 99% of cakes.

It just mirrors real life. "Sure Mehmet, you can have exactly the same amount of cake as anybody else! Just not from the half with icing."

Actually, since straight lines aren't really a thing on curved surfaces, there's still ways to fudge the question and come up with an alternate answer (which isn't really a problem, it'd just make your players maybe take way too long to do something simple by making it hard, etc).

If you view the cake as particularly dense spacetime then the line is technically straight
