I love the "loveletters" mechanic when DMing a #ttrpg. When a player misses a session, I'll write a mini scenario (my ideal would be together with them, but I'm not that good in remembering to coordinate with them 1-on-1 beforehand) and give them on roll.
They have then 1 to 3 (neutral/negative, but interesting options) to choose from. The better they toll, the less they have to choose. This gives me the opportunity to give them XP or just interesting stuff to deal with.
Yesterday, the player that missed the session before that was so excited by their options that they asked me if they could roll more than 1 (they rolled very well so they had to choose only one)
Well, if my players want more opportunities for drama, I'm not going to say no to that. 😅 One of the things they chose was "you've been gifted an obviously CURSED battle axe for your birthday“
You might also guess the first thing the player did when they had the opportunity.
Anyway, totalllyyyyyyy unrelated: I'm going to put together a d100 table of "things a cursed axe does when used". So far I have:
-you can't let go of the axe
-axe begins weeping very loudly
-axe is 3 times heavier than normal
Any ideas?
