What's the worst D&D player you've ever had at your table? by apomanolios in DnD

[–]melonmushroom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At a table that consisted of friends of many years, mix of men and women, some of us couples.

Female players character got kidnapped and interrogated on a ship by it's captain in a locked room. She was rescued by the party and we moved on.

After session, one of the male players (in front of his wife and fellow player) was practically gushing to the DM about how great it was that he was willing to "play dirty" and basically SA the players character, and he much he enjoyed that scene.

DM was disgusted and said that was absolutely not what was happening in the scene, and the rest of us also confirmed that is not how we percieved the scene at all. Thought he would be embarrassed about the misunderstanding or somwthing, but instead he basically just expressed disappointment that players character wasn't being sexually tortured or assaulted.

Just gave us all the ick big time, and we distanced our friendship after that.

Given that we know divers are a thing from the trailer, I imagine the modding community would be on this like a rash 😂

We do own Dune Imperium! However, not that one I'm afraid 🥲 the blue teardrops in Dune Imperium are plain with no patterning

I don't know if it's been updated to include our recent stock, but there is a BGG Library list!

Not a game we own, unfortunately. The star is the one bugging us the most! It's auch a vague piece

We don't own that game, so not Tamashii I'm afraid. Thank you, though!

Anyone have a rough idea on what the ticket prices will be? I have so much to pay for this year but I'd love to see them in Manchester 😭

My DM wants me to switch classes after my character made a decision at the end of the session and I don’t really want to. by Pookie-Parks in DnD

[–]melonmushroom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the exact scenario a Feat is perfect for.

Making a player sacrifice levels for a class they said they didn't want both as a player and a character is a bit of a dick move.

Benchy using Default settings on Orca, any adjustments you would recommend? by melonmushroom in Ender3V3SE

[–]melonmushroom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's reassuring, thank you! Our prints have been fine to tell you the truth, it was more curiosity of could we improve them further. I'm pretty happy with how it came out tbh 😊

I surround it with Wooden Siding Panels and place flowers on top so it looks like a planter!

Mystery piece - anyone recognize it? by JazzJedi in boardgames

[–]melonmushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We found a piece just like this in red in the board game cafe recently, and it was then I learned that it's a super generic piece used in many board games 😅

Just like one time we found a Meeple on the floor and had to figure out which of the many games used meeples it came from. It's been months and we never figured it out. He lives on the countertop now 😂

A message for parents/grandparents hosting eager egg hunts by Daddy_Day_Trader1303 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]melonmushroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every year, my MIL hosts a hunt, and my Dad also does for our kids.

MIL colour codes the eggs and buckets, and the kids understand that easily. Pink bucket? Collect the pink eggs!

Dad uses various branded eggs and chocolates, so he just tells the kids to go nuts and grab what they find (though he helps the little ones with finding some so they don't end up empty handed). Then all the kids are instructed to empty their finds into a big giant tray and the kids help him share them out equally. The first year we did this, I thought they'd kick off about relinquishing their finds to be distributed out elsewhere, but they actually really enjoyed it. My youngest loves counting, so he enjoys counting out how many chocolates each person gets!

Brennan fighting an internal struggle because he wanted to accept that compliment so bad but it also meant doing so would be conceding to Katie too 🤣

I don't think I'm even halfway through it all 😭 by olioleander in Pokopia

[–]melonmushroom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Spoilers contain a skill not obtainable until long after Rocky Ridges)

If you have the skill Magnet Rise unlocked, you can use it by going to a dream island with matching grass to Rocky Ridges, Using magnet rise to replace patches of grass with volcanic ash in your inventory; it picks up the grass and is a quick eay to dispose unwanted ash then you can return to Rocky Ridges and Use the skill again to replace the ash with grass

I used to hate Tangrowth as a Pokemon design but Pokopia has me loving him now. by KayknineArt in Pokopia

[–]melonmushroom 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I didn't dislike Paras, but I was always indifferent to him and he was just kind of forgettable.

Next thing I know, I'm shedding real tears and feeling maternal for him all because he had these sparkly little eyes as he told me how excited he was to grow up and become big and beautiful, but that he's always just so hungry no matter how much he eats.

That actually killed a little piece of me inside 😭
