Hey #pnpde, ist dieses "never split the Party" echt noch so ein grosses Ding? (Gerade erst im aktuellen Orkenspalter Video wieder gehört)

Meine beiden letzten Sessions waren so gut wie ausschließlich mit einer Split Party. Eigentlich war jeder Charakter alleine unterwegs, und es gab ein paar kleine gemeinsame Szenen.

Ich verstehe nicht so ganz was daran so schlecht sein soll?
Oder ist das mehr so ein Trad Ding? Wegen Balancing im Kampf?

Always split the party. Monsters get confused if you go in different directions. It’s a pro gamer move, trust me. You each take a dragon. What could go wrong? 😏 #BadDnDAdvice #SplitTheParty #ProGamerMoves

Amusing #DungeonsAndDragons story posted by @MerricB It involves bards and sharks... no, not in that way-- get your mind out of the gutter!

Going it alone - Merric's Musings

I dread hearing as a DM that one of the players is going to go off on their own and try something. This isn’t because it’s hard to run their actions – this will rarely be the case. But it’s because it suddenly turns the game from a group endeavour into something where we’ve got players waiting around for others to finish what they’re doing. …

Merric's Musings
We're trying to think of what to do: we have allies in the mess hall, and allies in the rest of the towers. We're goint to #SplitTheParty! I'm going to the mess hall to try and rally the Duergar allies there. Now: get this. I am a half-Drow, 6'4 tall. I also own a hat that allows me to cast disguise self at will. Since I'm going to the mess hall, I'm... disguising myself as an extremely tall and thin #Duergar. Because of course I am.
