Thank you! I've been worried that I might be getting some D&D details wrong, but I'm glad folks are enjoying them so far! ;w;
Also, of course. Visual Novels are for emotional masochists uwu
Honestly with the whole "getting D&D details wrong", I've just been ignoring anything that doesn't seem right and just putting it down to "this is based on D&D, this isn't actually D&D" because its mainly thing like the spells being slightly more powerful than what they normally would be (i.e. Prestidigitation would only affect one candle at a time, Conjure Elemental actually takes a whole minute to cast and would only summon one stoney-boi, Minor Illusion should only be able to affect a 5 foot cube at a time, etc,) and it would probably be less interesting if Cole had to go "hang on, let me cast Prestidigitation 13 times because there's a lot of torches".
Same,
i'm an avid D&D dungeonmaster, but the spells not being exactly or 100% right in this novel as the tabletop rules its not bad.
Things change, and need changes, when going to another type of media for a better narrative in general, just like what happens when books or comics become tv series or movies.
And even when playing there's always homemade rules, so some spells acting different its not really a problem
Just the spell referrences alone already made my day when playing this
D&D at its heart is a storytelling interactive ruleset for you and fellow players. Alter what you want and still keep the D&D feel. Its your world and you're the dungeon master. As what other stated you pulled enough off that we instantly related to it and accepted the changes. It provided the theme and the effect and kept us reading on in full enjoyment.
Here is an excerpt from the Dungeon Master's guide, pg 263
"As the Dungeon Master, you aren’t limited by the rules in the Player’s Handbook, the guidelines in these rules, or the selection of monsters in the Monster Manual. You can let your imagination run wild."
You're doing fine and as someone who has being playing since I was 5 years old. I've DM'ed around the country and literally have 1000's of player's character's stat cards sitting in a box next to me. If I sat at a table with you as a DM and you provided that same captivating experience in this VN... I'd be asking you after the session when is the next one and where do I sign up?
