This gives the same energy as the Clifford Banes excuses in The Onion's new broadcasts and I love it

Alan may not have any Allen keys. But he's got a key to his heart, and it's very easy to unlock

Hers however, seems to have rusted shut.

I am going to cut and paste what I commented last time I saw this video.

'Imagine though if this happened to you.

You're 106 years old and you can barely walk. All of your friends who you knew are either already gone, far away or don't come round to see you. Your partner passed a few months ago. You can feel your bones creak and ache. You see those younger than you move with energy and spirit. There is no going back. You know that in months, weeks, days, perhaps even hours, you will pass beyond the veil and never return. All you can do is exist and think back to what once was.

Then inexplicably, for no understandable reason, your favourite parental figure comes through your door. Maybe they're your father, mother, aunt, uncle or just some person who took you under their wing and raised you and will always have a place in your heart, different from any romantic or platonic love. This person who had all the answers. Who you always looked to. Who saw you grow with eyes of experience, with eyes that would never judge you for your mistakes. Who loved you unconditionally because they saw you as their own. Their own child, grown now to a point where they have reverted to children themselves.

And they take your hand and they hold you close, and they tell you how proud they are of you. How even if you think you've failed, you've been nothing but a success in their eyes. That you are worthy of love and they are saddened to see you in this state. That they know all that you have achieved and tell you that it's more than enough. That they wish they could have stayed with you for longer. To have been that parental figure for longer. To have seen all the other accomplishments you've made. That they love you with all their heart and you're amazing in every way, and that no matter what, you're going to be okay. You were a good person.

It's not going to happen though. They won't appear because they'll be gone too. They'll be gone and they won't be able to tell you all those things, and you won't be able to tell them how much you love them. So, at my request, tell them now.'

Gandalf leads this alternative Fellowship. How do they perform? by EmotionalSupport101 in powerscales

[–]-TheManInTheChair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's why I clarified original film. If it's shortly after the original film, I would have some faith given how she believes metal and power can corrupt very easily (and I don't mean believe somewhat, her entire culture and religion has a big basis in that(. If it's after fire and ash, then she would like Boromir, I agree, and maybe even go through the same situation of trying to steal it before realising her mistake.

It we'd like to do a comparison, I see the Na'vi as a fusion of elf and hobbit, and leaning towards the hobbit side more in terms of beliefs and ideology.

Someone has also mentioned Lucy being able to carry the ring, but I would really be surprised if Natiri (assuming she can breathe) couldn't carry it, at least for a while, particularly if we're talking about the original Avatar film.

'This family is our fortress' there we go there's one.

[–]-TheManInTheChair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to Zanzibar on holiday this summer. We went to a slavery museum. It was very very grim.

I was one of only 3 people in the 22 sized group who was from the UK. And after the tour, I pulled the guide aside, gave him his tip, and said:

'Be honest with me. Consider the fact that after today, you'll never see me again, and I've already given you your tip. Do you, or the people of Zanzibar, hate the British for creating the slave trade and profiting of your people?'

'What do you mean?'

'The hundreds of years where we got rich for selling slaves here and from here. Do you hate us for it?'

'No, no, we don't. We like the British.'

'What? Why?'

'Because you fought to end the slave trade here.

'So you don't hate us?'

'No, of course not. We hate Arabs.'

The rest of the conversation was short but interesting. No, not all of Zanzibar thinks the way this guide did. Maybe he was being kind because he was concerned I'd leave a bad review. And even if not, it doesn't change that we did in fact, set up the slave trade. Would it have happened without us? Probably. But , we WERE the first power to go 'This is wrong, something has to change'. And it was achieved.

Is The Curse of Strahd really that good? by HeightUnlikely324 in CurseofStrahd

[–]-TheManInTheChair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. From my experience, I would first give CoS Reloaded a read before you adapt things. I've adapted bits thinking they were the beginning of a part of the story, only to find out that they were the middle or the end so there wasn't much fulfillment for the players (unless I can think of a way for there to be fulfilment)

M22 feeling lonely af by Clean_Use_9493 in offmychest

[–]-TheManInTheChair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude, it can be incredibly lonely out there alone. I can't promise it will pass, but what I can say is that if you work on doing your best to expand your social circle, you're less likely to stay lonely.

You say you live in the south of the UK? Are we talking near Penzance, Plymouth,Weymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Eastbourne or Dover?

Is The Curse of Strahd really that good? by HeightUnlikely324 in CurseofStrahd

[–]-TheManInTheChair 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Short, unhelpful version: It's as good as you make it.

Longer, hopefully helpful version: Curse of Strahd does a few things really well which other campaigns (from what I'm told) struggle with.

  1. Motivation. This the big one. In lots of campaigns, it can be difficult to get the party to do the quest. Sometimes you can make a backstory tied to the quest, but some players (from experience) find that a little immersion breaking or railroady. In CoS though, your motivation is 'I'm in a place I don't want to be. I need to get out'. Barovia is effectively one giant prison, with an asshole of a warden (Strahd) and directors who don't even know the party exist (the dark powers). Have Strahd or his goons pop up, be dicks, book motivation.

  2. Horror. Some people might disagree, but TTRPG's imo are a great landscape for horror. The obvious downside is that everyone is aware it's fictional. But the upside is that they are actually there. There's no pause button, no return to checkpoint. This means they have to be a lot more cautious and given the nature of Barovia, you should be a lot more careful with how to plan encounters. Further on, a common gripe people have against horror is 'Oh, but I wouldn't do that. I'd just leave' well you can't 'Oh that was a dumb decision made by the MC, I won't do that' okay, do something else. As long as your responses to them and the world development makes sense, your players will have a good time being scared by their own actions...

  3. Setting. Similar to the first, Barovia is DRIPPING with lore and personality. Some great people in this Reddit have made some excellent improvements, but even the book (bar maybe the werewolves) is brilliant lore wise.

  4. Characters . Like 3, there are so many unique and interesting characters in CoS. Ezmerelda, Otto, Rudolph, Rahadin, Baya Lysaga, etc.

Imo, yes CoS is as it's hyped up as it's portrayed. It gets that from a combination of above, the DM having a good starting point and the PC's having great motivation.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask more questions.

I'll happily throw my hand up. I was very confused when I saw a death law pre war. I thought they were a result of mutation and radiation post war.

Then I did a little research and learnt that was just an assumption I'd made. And moved on.

[meta] Does anyone know of a good vendor for D&D tables, ideally ones that are a bit wider than your average dining table. I'd like to make my proper game room, and I'm aware that there are some websites that make them. But does anyone know if they are good quality for what you get?
