What sort of organizations have your characters worked for? Are there any organizations you'd like one of your characters to work for?

Rant time
>Run a high lethality game
>players seem to be getting wise to the dungeons and world, advancing in levels, getting loot, delving into more dangerous places
>Suddenly they all go full retard, with unarmed 5 strength wizards deciding to grapple monsters that they KNOW deal more damage than they have HP, mage/thieves deciding to use nothing but a crossbow instead of their goddamn Sleep spell while the party is murdered by goblins, and generally suddenly acting like suicidal morons.

So now the party is a single level 8 character and a bunch of level 1s (due to constant loss of levels from raise dead or rolling new characters)

Now I'm fine with asymmetric party levels but this is just...
worse yet it seems like the people who have dropped to low levels are stuck in a death loop because either they've lost all sense of threat assessment, or have stopped giving a fuck. But they seem to have fun and show up reliably so. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Violate the established campaign rules and say 'fuck it, level 5 for you?' Death isn't supposed to be rewarded but damn, just damn, it's not fun for me the GM to sit there saying 'Ayup, you die, again, because you tried fighting 20 goblins head on instead of just riding away on your horses. Or casting sleep. Or using the cave chokepoint like you did LAST TIME to win'

But how are the players supposed to learn from their mistakes if I say 'congratulations for being retarded?' If this continues they'll just die at level 5 a bunch too and end up at level 1 again. They weren't this retarded in the past, what the fuck went wrong?

What are some cool modern races that could inhabit floating islands? How would they procure food? Would they survive only on piracy?

What about underwater races with no gills? Mermaids are easy but what about races that have to build air bubbles to survive? What would they eat? How would they related to modern day USA navy?

Hey, /tg/, I've been thinking a lot about mana/energy systems in card games lately, and wanted to hear your input. What are some of the ways they are implemented? What are their major strengths and flaws? MTG's biggest issue is the land screw/flood problem, the one used in Hearthstone feels a little too simplistic, and I honestly have no idea how Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon's systems work.

Can anyone recommend a dice-rolling app which fudges the roll results in my favor? Bonus points if I can control the results depending on which way my phone is tilted/where I press roll on the screen.

What are your guys favorite adventure modules for any system? I have been looking for more legitimately creative weird fantasy modules along the lines of the LotFP ones, as opposed to more straitlaced made by committee ones like whatever WotC makes these days.

>Been DM'ing for a little over a year
>Have created a fun setting that my players love
>Enjoy coming up with stories, encounters, and dungeons
>Never actually been a player though, not once

>Work 50-60 hours a week, 12-15 hours additional responsibilities, still find 3-4 hours a week to prep (I'm sure I overkill prep but whatever)
>All other players claim they don't have time to DM
>I give one the 5e starter set, tell him he should run this
>A month later "still haven't had time to read any of it."
>I send everyone links to One Page Dungeon Contest, tell them to pick one to run. "Sorry DM I'm just so busy."
>Yet time is never an issue when I offer to host a game

>Everyone wants to play at least once a week, nonstop talking and excitement
>But if I can't play that week, then none of them play
>Even after I suggest one of them runs a one-shot dungeon in my absence

My players are all good friends of mine outside of D&D. I enjoy DM'ing, but I want to actually play occasionally.
How do I force my players to run a session? I've asked, given them resources, offered to help plan. But they're lazy and unmotivated to do it. I don't want to give an ultimatum like "we're not playing again until one of you DM's."

I'm thinking next session during a random encounter, slide over the monster cards to a player and tell them they are now the monster. Fight your friends. Maybe that will force them outside their comfort zone and they'll get a taste of what it's like behind the screen.
