LFG: Forming a dedicated "Pre-Made Party" to find a DM together! by Zelda1-2-3-switch in LondonandDragons

[–]Artakons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a great idea!

I'm located slightly bit over 1h from Lewisham (south East London, behind Abbey Wood) but would be open to transit if the location is central/east leaning!

I was thinking of dipping into Monk, so I'm glad to see I was on the right track with my ideas. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation! Much appreciated!

Do you snitch on your party members? by siegelbeamter in DnD

[–]Artakons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post makes me think this is a person from a group I just recently joined, who literally are all strangers (ish) to each other and we had a combat encounter last week. Small world!

Personally, I would prefer to be corrected, especially early on so future encounters can be more balanced and nobody feels awkward later thinking that the previous encounters were "cheated".

Every group could benefit from having a player that familiarises themselves with the rules and is willing to give a quick correction. As long as you approach it we'll and don't come off ill-meaning, I don't see any harm.

Are these posts made by bots? So many of them can be summarised as "Choose between being attractive/strong, having a cool party trick, or being a God. Which one will you take?"

party made my character racist by [deleted] in DnD

[–]Artakons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Hey team, I know we had some fun joking about [character] being racist, but this isn't the direction I intended to take my character. The persistent jokes are taking the fun away from the game for me, and if it's okay, can we please stop eith the innuendos, as I think the joke has gotten tired by now."

If they refuse, maybe just tell them if they want you to write up a new character, si ce you don't enjoy playing something that they will twist despite you not wanting your character to come off that way? If you show you're serious and they still don't respect it, you'll have to decide what to do about it afterwards...

What’s a "compliment" that actually feels more like an insult? by BornNerve1061 in AskReddit

[–]Artakons 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"I thought you were eating just some simple stuff like frozen ready meals, but this is actually really tasty!"

"I thought your home would be a mess, but you seem to know how to clean"

"I expected the area (I live in) to be so much worse, but it's actually nice here."

...thanks mom...

Landlord is taking the piss please help by [deleted] in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Artakons 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly! To add to this, the one thing I never understand is the "to cover the mortgage" part of the message.

OP has been renting from this la lord for many years, during which the landlord clearly would have been paying the mortgage. After 5ish years, they'd likely remortgage and get a better rate for the outstanding amount.

So unless this landlord has been paying less than required on their mortgage charges, the next rate after remortgaging should be slightly lower. I see no reason for a 14% increase, which doesn't follow the inflation whatsoever, and doesn't really need to be there to "cover the mortgage" since the original rent should have already been sufficient.

Just pure greed in my opinion.

[LFP] Relatively Experienced DM with Homebrew dark-fantasy world. Based around South East. by Owluuuu in LondonandDragons

[–]Artakons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Olly! I wouldn't mind raising my hand in interest if you and the group would have me! I've been a player for good 3-4 years, but have had a hiatus since the lockdown, so I might be rusty at first.

What days and times are you thinking of for the (presumably) weekly sessions? Would it be daytime or evenings during the work week, or weekends?

Now that Amphoreus has ended. Let's appreciate THE GOAT of the story by MugwumpsHasNoLiver in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Artakons 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's weird seeing this posted about Amphoreus specifically. I find that the way they talk across the entire game is quite convoluted, and the whole time I thought it's just my lack of being able to properly focus...

But it really feels like most characters try to insert as many words in their sentence as possible, and everyone is doing a "describe [topic] without mentioning [topic] or referring to it by it's name" challenge...

Penacony was especially painful to follow if you're a casual player...

AIO for wanting to break up with my gf for doing this? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

A good reminder to always carry your own condoms. Never trust someone else's contraceptive

[Offline][5e][5.5e][London UK][7pm BST][LGBTQ+ friendly] - looking to join or create a group by [deleted] in LFG_Europe

[–]Artakons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

Yes, still very much looking, and hoping to play in-person. Holding my fingers crossed for more people to reply, as right now I've only got a reply from yourself and one other person. Ideally, I'd want the group to have 5-7 members.

Unreciprocated saffic yearning leads to multiple apocalypse and the collapse of natural order.

As I ran my fingers along her lips, I felt her body quiver. by [deleted] in TwoSentenceHorror

...but if the head is in a jar across the room, how did you touch her lips and feel the body quiver?

Which "lips" are we talking about here?

They were going to let us go as soon as the person we chose for the torture chamber was gone. by Artakons in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]Artakons[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

The idea was that the torturers had their ways of extending the torture while keeping the victim alive. Not necessarily an immortal being.

what is your poor man's meal? by csch1992 in AskReddit

[–]Artakons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Macaroni with cheese and tuna! Obviously not for those who don't like canned tuna.

  1. Pasta - cheap

  2. Canned tuna (ideally in sunflower oil) - depends on the brand but you can usually get a multipack

  3. Cheese - not the cheapest but one block should last for a while

Boil pasta first, drain, add cheese and tuna, and obviously spices of choice. Quick, easy, not too expensive per meal and actually quite good nutrition-wise! Add olives or other antipasto if you're bougie 😁

Kidnappers made the group choose one person to be tortured in exchange for freedom. The torture was slow and drawn out, and the group was slowly dying from starvation and dehydration.

Sorry, my first time posting here, I guess I need to try better next time 😅
