It is too late to turn back. Nobody will forgive you. You either disappear, or continue.

No. Because that would be a type of death.

There was a B5 episode about this

If this was my punishment by some kind of official action, I guess I try to live out my life as a good person.

Otherwise, if I am well convinced this is true, I probably turn myself in. Justice has yet to be delivered for my crimes. Those families deserve closure, and I cant reasonably prioritize my own wellbeing when I dont even really exist. For all I know, I could relapse any time.

Everything is bad and shitty, forever, and every planet is under attack right now. Yes, every single one.

With less ducks.

Depends on how death is handled. If you have it where if one person dies, then they are out till the reset/party wipe it might work.

If you have it where if they die before the reset and they forget everything, then that's complete shit and wouldn't work. If you have it like a level penalty then maybe but that's that.

All in all though, you'd need to run it like a puzzle to keep it interesting. You can only go through the same group of mobs each go around before you get bored and start fucking around. And believe me, the last thing you want in a time loop is everyone fucking around, shit will get out of hand and drive you nuts. So my advice?

Keep it simple, keep it fun and end it as soon as possible.

>>54442496
Now on the other hand... if you want to say... make a loop that sends you to the beginning of your adventure and being the unseen forces making sure you somehow get to the situation with the time loop to get out of it, then that's be cool. Take detailed notes of everything and advise your players to do the same. Also make sure that if you do this kind of game, take causality into account, someone somewhen is going to fuck up and change something either intentionally or by accident and you may end up having to redo an entire battle from a certain point to account for the change that might or might not end up erasing/killing your characters at the point in time and having to bring a new character in to replace the one that time fucked themselves or got time fucked.

I mean... look, if you'd like to pull something like that off and you have the diligence and patients and the right kind of players it'd be fun as hell. However, chances are that you're not going to be able to pull that kind of thing off unless the group you have is dedicated to it from the start.

I could see it being done in a massive dungeon with multiple areas to explore. They keep their experience but their gear remains the same. Put in certain items they can learn are there and repeatedly go back to. Allow them to say they just do over what they did, and perhaps lesser fights can be rolled more as checks.

Work horses, donkeys, and oxen bolt or refuse to fight

Warhorses have a chance of panicking on taking damage that's reduced by training

Interestingly, purebreed horses were more likely to panic than mongrel ones upon artillery fire. The mongrels knew that the best chance was to duck and cover.

There were no conquests. They were saved from annihilation by the Rift! What's the ETA on the novel by the way?

Have you tried talking to them about this? Make it clear that you can't just keep playing the game for them outside of combat encounters.

and dont get me fucking started on puzzles!!! we spent 3 hours on a single puzzle which was, get this, destroy the glowing blue rocks connected to the glowing blue magic thing that was blocking their path.

>>54441091
wow...no not entirely. you might be right, maybe i should sit them down together.

i have said it in the past, but I've never sat them down and pointed out this was a big issue. I've definitely made my opinion known but nobody (to my knowledge) has attempted to rectify it.

>>54441019
You'll have to go into more detail. Does it make no sense to you because something is broken, or are you just retarded?

It's the latter.

You ARE an author, right?

How much lore is too much lore in cyoa? Is it better to leave things vague or to give it a large and interesting history.

Have you tried asking him what he wants in a role playing game or wants to do?

>>54440650
He loves to roleplay, which is odd because he didn't at all last session.

Dealt with this. If he's not invested in the game, literally nothing you do will make a difference. You can whip your top off at the table and make him look up from Hearthstone for a second, but then he'll notice it's his turn and look right back down. Just let him off the hook and play with the people who actually give a shit.

Alternatively, maybe he's super into the game and loves being a part of it, but is just the party dog. He'll never start stuff or prompt activity, but whatever happens, he's having a great time.

Asked in last thread:

How do I make a boss stronk? I'm a new DM and was thinking about throwing a Minotaur at my group but they'll destroy it, even if I raise it as a Minotaur skeleton after they kill it. Is there an easy way to scale up CR? Want to do similar to make like a CR 3 kobold and Goblin for my campaign.

>>54440493
Generally the best way to make a "boss" in 5e is legendary resistance and actions.

What level are your players?

>>54440493
Give it the stats of a similar CR 3 monster. Talk about how badass it looks when you describe it.

>so what's the theme for this area
>choose real life historical civilization/country
>look up names
>use names I like

Alternatively name things after the land.
e.g. name a colony Amber after the forest filled with the stuff they built it out of, or name it Slate out of the slate rock the town was built upon nestled in the shadows of a long dormant mountain that was once a volcano.

I just look at the paper in front of me for 3 or 4 seconds until somethings pops in my mind.
