how do I keep the party alive? /u/Monstrcow DnD: Roll for Initiative!

basically the title. I’m a dhampir dao genie warlock in a lvl 3 party. we have me, a human sorcerer, a human wizard, and a black dragonborn fighter. we left off last session with the DM saying, and I quote, “20 zombies rush in and surround you.” Talking to them after the session, they surrounded us individually, and we do not get to react. I have spike growth, but that’s all I have for aoe. Nobody else has aoe damage in my party, except for the dragonborn breath. There is a sorc noble Lord and his guards, too, but my concern is trying to keep everyone alive first round. What do you guys suggest? Maybe I can do something with my vessel? There will be a map in the session, but it hasn’t been provided yet.

I normally don’t try to metagame, but I must be missing something here, right? surely this isn’t just an execution? because, to top it off, while this was not communicated except for after the session, apparently the city “felt off”, and it was heavily implied more zombies are coming in through the door.

Just wanted to share a funny experience from my table? /u/Creepy_Aide6122 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Just wanted to share a funny experience from my table? /u/Creepy_Aide6122 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

So today my party made in into a dungeon and befriended a kobalt. At one point they woke up a vampire that was sleeping and when the vampire asked why are you helping the kobalts. My player asked me can they just try to gas light him, and tell him he’s imagine the kobalt. ( back story this player is a fighter and non of the party are healers, in my world you have to go to school to multiclass adds more world building in my opinion, any way this player is multiclassing to a bard and his first assignment was to try do more charisma stuff so I allowed it) I said okay roll for gas lighting playing into the bit, THIS PLAYER ROLLED A NAT 20, when I tell you we were the only ones in the card shop and just all started laughing and I got to play a sleepy vampire gas lit and wanting to go back to bed. Just wanted to share ( sorry if it doesn’t make any sense)

I’ve decided I’m too dumb.. /u/AmiMoo19 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I’ve been trying to teach myself to DM and teach my daughter to play because she wants to play. I bought one of the starter kits and we tried a couple times but I just don’t get it. The only local group I can find near my age is people I know from high school and they have no interest in helping. Any suggestions or do I just give up?
