Getting so many ideas from these old White Dwarfs, Q&A Cont. (Patreon)

Q&A

i'd love to ask, when you DM, you prefer combat or roleplay, do you feel you put too much emphasis on one thing?

I try to do a mix of everything every session but I certainly enjoy the non-combat stuff a bit more. I really need to get better at running interesting combats, I really struggle with it. I just bought "The Monsters Know What They're Doing: Combat Tactics for Dungeon Masters" so we'll see if that helps.

How do you come up with narratives for your videos, projects, stories, monsters, etc?

Typically by doing things I don't enjoy haha or in the shower. Pretty sure I wrote all my favourite things while being bored at a manual labour job. Talking to friends always spawns some awesome ideas too, even if its just working through the scattered ideas I have.

Magic items:
Horn of the Trout: I think some sort of communication item is pretty mandatory to an RPG so I thought making it a trumpet you have to speak through loudly would be much more funny.

The Quiet Sip Stein: The Quiet Sip was the name of the tavern in my first ever D&D session, and has been a recurring tavern since.
