Charisma is for making your own religion.

Never met a religious person who didn’t know anything about their religion?

What’s bothering me is, mathematically that is the answer, but practically the apple is a non uniform shape so you cant really determine where a third of the apple truly is and it has seeds in the middle meaning two of the kieces will have seeds one the one getting the two cut off pieces won’t so its not truly shared equally.

Party once used a chime of opening after spending 20 minutes trying to open a door they had found the key to 5 minutes before.

I’m starting to think any ouzzle solved by looking at your inventory may just be asking too much.

Every fucking time.

Also with the justification: The DM wouldn’t think that way.

I have layers dammit!

It’s made for Strixhaven which is a Mage school.

It’s been very fun so far to have them randomly ambush the players.

Me in response: “Well in that case *rolls d20 ominously”

Players: immediately become interested in discussing the fake weather

Or a “Let me just read my notes real quick before this next part”

Little difference in content. Also I bet it’s much less interesting to watch due to crunching.

That said I’m planning my transition to Pathfinder rn since it seems more fun to play.

Fine, we’ll play Pathfinder

A concept that requires you to both interpret the rules literally and then ignore the rules altogether in order to work.

Step 1: Learn to DM Step 2: Ask literally every person you meet to play

After 5-10 years you’ll have 2 people with waning interest and little time to play at a table.

Instructions unclear, now comfortable with pissing myself.

As a dm the 7 section bag I got that I sorted 20 sets of dice into has been a godsend.

Now we don’t need to wait to see who I instakill with dragon breath.

Now I want to watch glass onion again.

My same group took 20 minutes to get past an unlocked door.

Meanwhile…

Me: You guys find a key woth a triangle on it

Later that session

Me: There is a locked door with a triangle on it.

Party: This door is literally impossible to open.

Me: …why don’t you check your inventory…

Party: Aha, maybe this tomato we found can open the door if we shove it into the lock.

Me: I don’t… you have a key!

Party: When did we get a key?

Me: THIS SESSION!

Party: Ohhh we didn’t write it down.

Me: IT’S ONLY BEEN 5 MINUTES! GOLDFISH, ALL OF YOU!

I presented my party with a locked door to which they has the key. Took 20 minutes and a chime of opening to get through.

This was not a puzzle. I’m afraid of giving them a puzzle.
