January 31, 2023D&D 5E - 5 APPROACHES TO PLAYING AN URBAN MONK.. Season 3 Episode 49
“Urban adventures can be really fun. Our group had a good time running and playing an all-urban campaign. A city can just be a city, or, it can be an entire campaign setting within the confines of city walls.”

These are the talking points:
FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR MONK FITS, IN THE URBAN CAMPAIGN. THEY DON’T HAVE TO BE FROM A MONASTERY OR FORMALLY TRAINED.
PHILOSOPHY IS A PIECE OF EASTERN MONK TEACHINGS. THIS CAN BE MUCH LIKE KNOWING THE NATURE OF THINGS, YOUR URBAN MONK CAN BE WELL VERSED IN THE NATURE OF THE CITY, IT’S POLITICS AND IT’S PEOPLE.
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOUR MONK COMES FROM IN THE CITY, THEY MAY NOT BE A PEACEFUL MONK WHO IS A SKILLED FIGHTER BUT QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
MAYBE YOUR MONK IS A DRUNKEN BAR PATRON AND HIS FIGHTING STYLE IS AKIN TO DRUNKEN KUNG FU.
HOW DO I EXPLAIN KI?

We’ll see you next time, in the Dojo”

November 29, 2022D&D 5E - 5 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN RUNNING AN UNDERWATER CAMPAIGN. Season 3 Episode 40
“There are a bunch of things to consider when you begin planning an underwater campaign. Much of it will be the same as any other campaign, you’ll need enemies, a big bad, and a riveting storyline, but there’s much more to consider.”

These are the talking points :
IF YOU’RE CHOOSING TO PLAY TRADITIONAL RACES, THEN YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO BREATHE.
COMBAT IS DIFFERENT, ENEMIES CAN BE IN FRONT OF, BEHIND, AND ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR PLAYERS. THEY CAN ALSO BE ABOVE.
WEAPONS THAT ARE NORMALLY EFFECTIVE ON LAND MAY BE INEFFECTIVE UNDERWATER, THE SAME MAY BE TRUE FOR SPELLS.
WHAT’S THE SETTING? (IS IT A DOMED CITY, A CORAL “FOREST”, A FROZEN SEA, ETC)
WHAT ABOUT MOVEMENT, VISIBILITY, AND WATER PRESSURE?
