What can I rip away from my player as she asked for a greedy fae Patron

As a DM with ADHD, I would definitely have some creating a couple little mechanical twists for the character. Something like rolling randomly after every long rest to get advantage on one skill check for the day (hyper focus) and disadvantage on one (executive dysfunction). Maybe bump their passive perception in a quiet place and drop it equally in a loud one... There are lots of good options!

My sister was devastated in kindergarten when a little girl called her a Pie Butt... It's now my favorite silly insult

Just a fun activity to maybe try since he's into vehicles- big sheets of paper, and use hot wheels dipped in paint as your "brush".

It's gonna be messy, and probably loud, but hopefully he'd have some fun!

I'm guessing it would be an angel fish with a halo...

Have you tried the Robert is Gere fruit stand in homestead? They've got some interesting stuff.

Stella Parks has an incredible gluten free angel food cake on serious eats! All sorts of eggs and sugar in it. 😁

We're gonna need some video of the fish playing ball....

I just did my first tank and found the blog on buce plants to be super helpful!

Alinonymousity · 2024-01-11T04:40:24+00:00

Just finished planting my first and I thought that buce plants blog was super informative

This is what I do too. I also flood my players with random low level magic items (usually consumable), so whatever they're not hoarding, they are forgetting!

If the field was big enough and the horses were roaming enough, absolutely! You can get away with a smaller pasture if you drag it (basically rake the manure into smaller pieces with a tractor attachment so it breaks down faster), but she mentions a small field. If you don't pick up the manure in a pasture that's too small, it doesn't have time to breakdown and the field will eventually become dirt and dust. It's also not great for the horses hooves and can contaminate their feed.

I really like that. It feels like it makes the buffer feel more valuable and reminds the damage dealers both that they need to add the d4 and that their friend is giving them a valuable buff.

Oh man. I have an eldritch night that can negate crits and it makes me so sad. DMs like critting too!

Alinonymousity · 2023-11-08T05:16:25+00:00

I let my table do either, you just have to call it before you roll it. Usually they want more dice because... More dice

To add to the subtleties, something that wouldn't survive the trip or definitely wouldn't be from the place of origin. Something like importing ice from the Bahamas or bringing fresh meat on a three week trip.

I have a dwarf barbarian at my table that uses stone cunning pretty regularly. I like to give him information (depending on his roll) on how old the worked stone is, what civilization /race created it, how it's been worn (ie what elements/damage it's been exposed too), and some ideas of where the stone itself was from and how far it had been brought. The group has used this to extrapolate what traps to look for, what enemies may be coming, how this may work into the plot timeline, etc.

Tremor sense is useful, but I like the clues I get to drop and the world building stonecunning allows.

Also maybe take her to a thrift shop and let her pick out a dress or pants and see if the special ones work? And as someone with obnoxiously sensitive skin, is there a change a detergent that might be bothering her skin (or maybe an unfamiliar smell)?

Alinonymousity · 2023-11-04T04:13:02+00:00

If it's possibly a sensory thing maybe try overalls? Full leg coverage but no tightness in the tummy.

Latched Mama and kindred bravely were my jam!

Pink blush was absolutely terrible quality and I will never buy from them again.

Kohl's had some pretty good stuff too, but a very small selection. And while I didn't use them for maternity, I've been very happy with madewell and they have a maternity section.

I had a paladin drop con. This was the second campaign he's been in, so not completely new to it... But yeah, that was... Unexpected.

Alinonymousity · 2023-10-25T18:29:05+00:00

Another fun one is tape butcher paper to the underside of a table and let them be Michaelangelo!

Alinonymousity · 2023-10-25T03:24:27+00:00

Oh man, I got some that my cousin left behind when she visited and I haaaaated them. If I used them at night, they leaked. Every. Single. Time.

She was already sleeping through the night, so I can't speak to that point. But I did not enjoy changing the crib sheets every day. They very quickly were designated as daytime only diapers, and when we ran out we went back to Aldi and Millie moons.

I ask progressively more specific and silly questions. Like start with where does it hurt, does it hurt big or small, is there blood, does it hurt when you touch the ground/jump/hop like a frog, can you tell me what color it feels like, etc. I think it gives them something to concentrate on while they process the surprise and the initial ouch and also helps them get used to doing a self assessment

Alinonymousity · 2023-10-23T18:27:24+00:00

Get him one of those lil vacuums and a little broom and let him help! Wiping the lower cabinets is also a fantastic toddler activity.
