How fast can you pull an interesting battlemap and an interesting encounter ?
Because I had DMs making me wait while they cobbled something last minute that we couldnt avoid, meaning they could have planned it in advance with 0 chances of wasting the preps
Honestly that hasn’t become much of a problem yet. When I know there’s going to be combat I’m pretty good at prepping in advance but the rp and other stuff I tend to just make up on the fly.
It’s also how I ended up with two NPCs named Phil…
Oh easy, just draw what the players see and let them discover the rest as they go.
Then throw the right player a trigger line and you have half an hour to draw the next 5 lines.
That works ! Drawing lines when the caster doesn't know what to do is tight !
I'm sorry that the shambling wreckage of the rest of my life negatively impacted the thing I put together for your amusement.
Like, 30 seconds? Throw a dhohanoid into a big cave with a barrier that causes fear. Have a group of shovelheads encroach on the party's territory.
