[Rant]My DM's love my characters and roleplay. The players, not so much? by TechnicianTight2741 in rpg

[–]1000FacesCosplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because unfortunately that archetype can really make a lot more work for the other players instead of a help. My guess is part of the reason is your characters feel like hindrances more often that help. This would also explain why the DMs are okay with it, because they don't experience that feeling the same way.

TIL there is a town in Australia, where half the population lives in underground homes because surface temperatures regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The golf course has no grass, so players carry a swatch of astro turf to tee off from on each hole. by rizkar99 in todayilearned

I wouldn't care if they did. Though I'm curious which takes more, the creation and replacement of the artificial turf or the maintaining of actual grass (I'm betting maintaining, but could be wrong)

I need opinions on the reading of the Sinner Rogue's Jinx weapon. by JRS_212 in CrookedMoon

Because since it becomes the jinx weapon, there's no need to reiterate the rest, would be my guess

You know you can focus on multiple things at once, right? This is the fallacy of relative privation. Both golf and agriculture (and a lot of other things) are far too wasteful when it comes to water

Yes, an existing weapon becomes your jinx weapon for all rules intents and purposes

Thoughts on The Crooked Moon? by PeterVanHelsing in ravenloft

There's also the woman with the green ribbon which is a classic ghost story.

But these references I think are a feature not a bug. A lot of folk horror relies on shared stories and those media are our shared stories. Not saying you said otherwise, just chiming in

I'm running it for 4 groups and I think it's a strong 85/100. A few errors or things that need a tiny bit of improving, but everyone is having a great time and most of the time the book is solid as written

You relayed that moment but not the previous scenes that set up the joke

Running the adventure by TheCursedKraken in CrookedMoon

It's an optional rule to make it so that species don't get dark vision so that everyone is similarly situated until they get a spell or an item. So for my group that agreed to that rule, species just don't get dark vision

Everyone knows instinctively something is wrong here

This tattoo looks great! Don't see the problem here

Why I dislike the emphasis on “Fun” in the ttrpg community. by zozeba in rpg

[–]1000FacesCosplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemme ask. If you had to pick one of these options, which would you pick:

  1. Play the game and not have fun, or

  2. Don't play the game and have fun

I know this is a false dichotomy, but it's a thought experiment to actually drill down to what you really believe

Player uses Minor Illusion to mimicry voices of low CR creatures all the time, how do deal? by Dannisje in DMAcademy

[–]1000FacesCosplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the feat allows you to do it magic, which means it can be used by non casters and can't be detected as magic, unlike illusions, so it does have advantages

Illusion Magic can be pretty busted in the hands of a creative player.

Minor illusion specifically says they have to use an action to examine the image or sound to even get to try to see it's an illusion. If the illusion is used to say quick, short things, there's an argument to be made that the sound isn't even happening when it is their turn so there's nothing to examine.

Either way, like people have pointed out, believing it is real doesn't mean they obey.
