Judging tip. Encourage your players to burn Luck often and reward luck frequently. Use luck to make your players feel cool for role playing and their clever ideas. It’s an amazing incentive that feels much more integrated in the game vs 5e’s inspiration system.

Their "war-pig" ended up becoming a valued party member. Great times. Great vid!

1. Thanks for the walk-through. 2. There were a bunch of these QuickStarts released for FreeRPGDay. A bunch of systems. Many of which had a flaw... So DCC says make quick disposable characters as part of the quickstart. But every other 5e system I saw giving a quickstart away did NOT include Pre-Gen characters. That makes NO SENSE! If they had pregen characters like level 1 or 3 with their new subclasses they always include then people could run the quick start right then, and maybe buy a book or download more!
@BobWorldBuilder
2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! And yeah, pregens are always a trade-off. Depending on the game, some people play just for the experience of building an original character. Even D&D's Starter Sets have gone back and forth about including pregens. Ultimately I agree that any game is more playable with them than without them!

I have both run and played portal under the stars. When playing, the first death was a dwarf at the door messing with the jewels. Then one my characters (a wainwright) and another players character (a lumberjack) fashion wood to the pushcart we had to create shields. It saved us from the statues and the fire shooting statue. It became the holy symbol for my character that lived and this the War Wagon religion began. Tips for running: I would say you can disregard some of the checks it asks for. For instance, just tell the players they see the scotch marks and notice the silver miniatures. But I play by the philosophy of, "Stop hiding everything behind die rolls."

The front door can be opened if a character have a occupation that can meet the stars, like tarot reader and such.

I didnt use the checks find the scorch in area 3, they are on the floor, look at it and you find it. What is gona come from there is other thing. Much of this checks can be avoided if the players look, search, move, describe what they are doing and mach the realization requirement. Besides that, great video, keep coming Buildert.
