      Balancing would be pretty funny in something like that.
      I suppose for brevity they should probably be separated into squads and a designated squad leader rolls for initiative
      🤔 squad leader should probably also act as a sub DM. Collecting and gathering the appropriate information to pass along to the true DM when it gets around to their turn.

      @Lupostehgreat Před 7 měsíci +86

      Honestly, Red and Blue are the perfect examples for why JoCat had a point at the end. These players were not disruptive, but because GM was having a mental breakdown he assumed they meant to be condescending to his story, rather than just pointing out what they thought were cool influences. His ego got bruised because he hadn't internalized that all works are derivative of something.

You don't need to be speaking all the time but you'll probably have more fun just asking to do stuff since most of the crazy and fun stuff happens in D&D out of combat. Though the level of craziness does depend on if the people there are there for fun for intense roleplay or a power trip.

What you do is incredible and it has inspired me to not only be a DM for my friends, teaching them the game as we go, but also to bring it into my job (I'm a high school teacher).
