Thank you so much!

hey! yup, I painted it all, start to finish. if you are curious about the whole process, i have a full video (not too long) on it, on my channel

Hey ! Awesome video, I'm glad I discovered your channel ! ^^ I'm planning a campaign in D&D that would theoretically begin in a prison, from which I assume my players are gonna escape from. Making it more like a dugeon seemed like a good implementation of the concept. Making them work all day (mining or some other task to balance the cost of food and other basic needs) leading to a point of exhaustion each day. Sleeping in the facility would reset it to 0, no matter the amount of exhaustion. But before that it had to be able to contain the more magically adept folk (basically a muzzle and a cast on two fingers on each hand to prevent casting magic). To avoid them being left out of the sessions, a book would be given to well behaved prisoners as a tool to write in and communicate with other people but may be inspected by guards. In order to contain the martial class, I would just add another point of exhaustion from their task to balance the fact that they can move more freely. Prisoners that would be too much of a danger to be allowed to work would be put in isolated chambers, similarly to what you presented to limits risks of escape or severe injuries to personnel. Given the danger that even low level parties represent, a high level baddie should absolutely be left alone. Reducing the exhaustion by one point each day would be made possible by succeeding a constitution saving throw (allowing the spellcasters to be more usefull in that context since they wouldn't have disadvantage). And as a location, an isolated and dangerous/difficult to traverse area would be the most effective, a snowy area or an island will absolutely dissuade people from getting out. (Sorry about making it more about mechanics but I think a highly monitored area built to keep you inside would be trivialized by most players if we didn't change a few things to make it a challenge.)

Hey @@Aracwo ! I love your idea, and I love the mechanic you mentioned. The idea of having them gain exhaustion points is a really nice touch. And the muzzle and the magic cast on fingers is really nice. In my world i implemented some magical bracelets, almost like handcuffs that prevented casting of magic and could not be taken off except with some highly specialized tools. Now, reading your idea, i realize mine was a little too restrictive to spellcasters. i will rethink it, so thank you. I am sure my players will thank you too, hehe. and i am grateful for your kind words about my video and channel By the way, my next video will likely be about dungeons, in their original form and their evolution to the maze like structures we know and love, and oubliettes, so i hope that will be helpful to you.

@@funkymonkeymp The handcuffs are a very good idea, I find mine too restrictive roleplay-wise. But yeah planning around spellcasters is difficult, if it's a big prison I would just make an anti magic field akin to a beholder's stare but a more flavorful solution is often better imo. ^^ Yes ! I always struggled making dungeons and learning about real ones would be awesome !

Ah, a connoisseur Very very nice game, but I still prefer, after so many years, Heroes 3

Good video, or god video? :D

@@funkymonkeymp both

😆 just hope they share it with their frie.......uh oh....

I love your enthusiasm :D

@@funkymonkeymp o7

well..... I guess we'll all find out in time :D

I love that! yes, that is also an awesome way of introducing a dictator in your world. And i think that an extra point can be given if the new dictator is an npc that your players have encountered in a previous campaign, and even helped overthrough the previous individual. The possibilities are out there, you just need to make the best of it. thank you so much for your comment, it enriches the whole thing. if you have more ideas, i am looking forward to your comeents

@@funkymonkeymp The main downside with your idea (a NPC they helped before) is time. Now if you play elves, waiting a decade or two for "the former friend" to turn Mugabe is no problem. But for most normal character groups this is outside the scope of an adventurers active time. There are several ways to handle such thing (for example fey realms with different time speeds) but those basically cut off the group from their former base of operations. But if you plan it as major "step" in a campaign, where you confront your players with "no good deed goes unpunished", then it can be a really great way.

yes, you are indeed right. i just realized, while reading your comment i formulated it in a poor way. i was thinking of myself and my group. we've only recently started our second campaign and although their new characters don't know certain high profile characters, those NPCs are individuals that their previous characters helped ascend to power, or saved from certain death etc. The PCs don't know them, but the Players do, a little easter egg or smth. And i love the suprise and delight when meeting one of those characters. our new campaign is set 40 years after the end of the first one, so some of the NPCs really had time to go places :D and i love the idea of "no good deed goes unpunished". but you are right, it would have to involve some fey realm shenanigans. sorry again for wording it poorly and thanks for the engagement, i really appreciate it

thank you so much!

thank you so much! the idea of doing separate videos is starting to grow on me

thanks for your input. I was thinking along the same lines

Hope you enjoyed it!

it's awesome to be back! :*

glad you found some inspiration

thank you so much!

Welcome! The idea of having a dungeon tile on the other side of the tavern floor is awesome, it did not cross my mind. thank you so much for that! My plan is to have multiple floor types and walls so i can switch between them, and have a multitude of battlemaps for my players. This helps me so so much!

thank you for the encouragement!

Thanks!

I completely agree! Great you have you, welcome!

You gave me an awesome awesome idea! Although the towers I made are not dice towers, I now want to make at least one of them into a dice tower. I've been thinking all evening on how to do that. Thanks a lot for the idea!

Perhaps it's not the focus, but something seems to be adjusting a lot

Hey! yeah, i agree, it is pretty distracting, sorry about that. I used my phone to film the map and i didn't realize it was going wild on the auto focus.

I am glad it helped!

it works for a few seconds, but have you seen Mango? =)))
