New WIP Resource: Social Encounter Statblock (Dinner with Lady Wachter)
Added 2021-04-07 15:28:12 +0000 UTCDecided to make a "social encounter statblock" for the dinner with Fiona Wachter last night on a whim. The goal was to make a quick reference sheet for DMs who might be unsure how to prep/run complex social scenarios. Would y'all find this kind of thing useful in other contexts—and if so, where? 🤔

Awesome; I'm glad to hear! You're spot-on about the fear of missing information - I know I've run lots of social encounters that I thought went pretty well - at least until I realized I'd forgotten to mention or reference some critical piece of lore or foreshadowing. Hopefully future, similar statblocks will be similarly helpful!

2021-04-10 14:11:58 +0000 UTCJust posted something similar on twitter, but this is fantastic. I definitely struggle with the creative side of DMing, and stuff like this helps make it more of a connect the dots and present the info type of encounter. In addition having a resource like this helps remove some of the nerves that you will miss something, letting you focus more on roleplaying the NPCs and having a bit of fun
