  • Yup. This covers “forgetful players”, but it also helps me: a DM with ADHD that can get very lost in “meatspace” (“which of these four monsters that look exactly the same took 40 damage, again?” or “I am sure I had that monster token here somewhere…”)

    So I make tokens with pictures for the creatures on the top and space on the bottom to scribble the damage with dry-erase marker. Really helps.

    Also: adding up is much faster than subtracting damage

    Really recommend that method for anybody that wants to try and speed up combat


  • Adding in to the way of “tracking health secretly”, there’s a way, but you gotta think in reverse:

    Track damage, not health. Just jot down quickly on paper how much HP an enemy has and track damage dealt, which can be a public info anyway

    If you figure HP needs changing, change it on the fly on the paper and adjust your description of the scene


  • The joke in our sessions was always that she was inadvertently saying things that could be misconstrued as flirting, out of pure innocence.

    Oh, I see! The “if you wish anything you have to but ask” with the small hair-over-mouth thing seemed direct to me, but this additional context helps ^^

    Also, thanks for sharing campaign detail of how it went live! It’s always fun to know how it played you in the table =)


    The comic where Razira asking Konsi out on a date is however, a departure from my normal form. It is intended to be the start of an actual “story arc”

    Now that I already know the character, I have to say I’m really liking this approach and getting to follow her on a narrative ^^
