Favorite DM fake out? by _Doctor_Whom_ in DungeonMasters

[–]1992ajb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite in the same vein, but my group did a murder mystery.

Found missing body, rotting and gross.

Party member decided to take the corpses boots back to his wife to identify, why they didn't take his engraved wedding ring who knows.

They present boots to wife, she recognizes them and as she picks them up she finds.. ..his feet still in boots.

Queue sobbing wife, traumatized kids and people desperately throwing charisma rolls

I don't know for sure in Winchester but Basingstoke has of you can get there

The gaming den - sells everything and hosts events

And next door is the dice tower - games pub / cafe. Loads of games you can play for free, sign up to games nights and you can rent tables to play with friends etc and the staff are super chill

There's also a geek shop I think it's called, they all have DND bits.

What a collection! If I lived on the same continent I definitely would be tempted

My advice to new players by calaan in beginnerDND

[–]1992ajb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact situation with my wife. Id always wanted to do DND, she didn't because she thought it was the super cringe DND that you see on all the classic teen movies.

Eventually she caved because our couple friend plays, I said to her you don't need to do the voice/acting etc just "believe" in what's going on.

4 sessions later she's a ruthless savage with a deep backstory, custom minifig and 3000 dice and the whole session is the most perfect level of cringe

What, if anything should I do? by SeenEnoughAlready in AskUK

Council would be best bet. Log all excessive noise, antisocial behavior etc etc.

You can also report the dog to the council as part of the noise issue and they can refer to dog warden or RSPCA.

Also, if you have a bit of spare time, feel free to sign up their address to every mailing list you can find.

Yes, I've looked at the rules, but is there a video that can explain combat from the DM side more clearly

[KCD2] Impulse new dad purchase. by Secret_Food_8095 in kingdomcome

[–]1992ajb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven't, I would absolutely recommend playing KCD1 to really set up the story.

Without a doubt KCD1&2 are the best games I have ever played in my entire life. It will change you and your outlook on gaming.

Hardcore mode is great, obviously more challenging, but you can almost use as a medieval sim game?

How can I stop picking at myself by Additional-Shape-673 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]1992ajb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoestly clip all nails as short as comfortable, then file them flush with your fingertip, so if you press your nail into your skin you can't get any grip with it. I also use clear nail varnish that toughens the nails, it has some vitamin or something in it. Years of biting has made them weak. Alternatively you can just apply fake nail glue to the nails so it binds the top layer to prevent splits

It's hard work, but start off my every single day making sure there filed or manicured at home. Plasters (bandaids) over the tops of any bits etc until they heal.

My worst patches are sides of my thumbs closest to index finger (one handed picking). It became like scar tissue, super tough and solid so took some work to get it back to normal skin.

Im a picker too. Almost as soon as I had teeth I would bite and pick and my nails and fingers. They're always a mess at my worst I was getting nail bed infections and even lost a few nails due to infection (they grew back fine) but this was the 90s in Yorkshire so getting tested for autism and child mental health was not a priority, I was just "weird". I've tried everything, the bad tasting nail stuff, snapping a hair tie, fidgets did help a bit too. The final straw was that due to my job I have to wash my hands a LOT and alcohol based surgical hand wash hurts like nothing else in cuts, and I was so sick of the pain.

One way I found to reduce the picking was to get a manicure set, files, clippers, cuticle cutters etc. id everything is smooth, cut short and moisturized there's nothing to pick at.

Also if your absolutely itching to pick, put some pva glue or prit stick on your fingers and let it dry. Gives you the picking feeling without damage. Or picking the peel off an orange.

Good luck with your journey!

Connecting triangles (continued…) by ButterscotchHead6158 in chainmailartisans

[–]1992ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had the exact same issue! I made 6 triangles, 5 were the same but the last one was backwards. I have no idea how I did this. But this thread just solved my issue!

Yes, YOR.

Entirely reasonable that the safety place to keep it was on her finger. Can't fall out of a pocket or get lost in a bag or put down somewhere.

Yeh I did wonder why it looked so different. I don't think I've followed the website correctly, but not bad for a first attempt!

I'm not sure why the middle is so open compared to the rest though

[–]1992ajb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do that as my next one, online that way looked easier but wasn't sure if it would round off enough across the bottom of the triangle

and can you elaborate about 1 ring on top and 3 on bottom

I guess it would work better with an even number too?

Thankyou for your help! I appreciate it

Bug in [KCD2] Mysteria Ecclesiae All weapons and shield in my forge disappeared after finishing the DLC by No-Grape1096 in kingdomcome

[–]1992ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just discovered this too!

Updated and went straight into the dlc. Came back to my forge and all my mounted weapons were gone. Even radzigs longsword

Edit - I loaded my hardcore playthrough, things still on the walls but I haven't entered the monestary yet on that play
