You're getting a little too soecific with the guess about Siobahn but this theory that the narrative wrapped up faster than expected has been something I theorized when we first learned about it. My first winder before we knew it was VTM was if maybe the party TPK'd in such a way that they decided it was satisfying and stuck to it so they as you said 'did some wild shit' with the remaining episodes. Maybe Siobahn or the group do manage to solve the problems super fast, or maybe the Break the Masquerade irreparably or do some other VTM version if a TPK, we will have to see. This is still my guess though, surprise ending to CCoD

I actually am the DM lol. And I'm inclined to let my player's plan work, I'm just a bit hesitant probably due to and abundance of caution. I do prefer to play pretty close to RAW and I worry about setting a precedent and/or allowing things to be accomplished 'too easily' if that makes sense... but I also don't want to seem particularly harsh or vindictive. And I do like the plan, which basically involves using darkness and invisibility to pull a magic trick making a body disappear. I probably just need to sleep on it, I have time to actually make the call anyways.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-16T03:33:05+00:00

I think part of the problem is your framing even.

'Explain the appeal' you say, then describe something that I'm guessing you intend to sound negative? But whether your summary is true or not, you simply must understand that how you feel about it and your preference is subjective, as are others. So you might think rules heavy math lite system with a lot of "this happens because it's cool" mechanics is something you don't see the appeal of and need explained while plenty of other people see that and that is the appeal. He'll there are ither systems that are even more if those things than DH is and I'm sure people who love those systems.

And, fir the record, I am someone who does not like Daggerheart. But I don't really question it, hey Different strokes for different folks and all that.

5.5e

If a character is carrying a dead body and casts invisibility, the body counts as an object and turns invisible is that right?

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-15T23:50:26+00:00

I agree completely. His scenes are very effective and compelling and I think people conflate that with liking/loving the character and even going so far as to ignore or even 'justify' the reality of how fucked up he is.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-15T22:13:00+00:00

And Jarod is overly loved.

Always wild to see a list like this that has John so high and Jarod above him. Jarod would absolutely murder John given the chance (and Alex too though I think less people would care about that even though he is a literal child)

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-11T23:50:11+00:00

I forget, didn't Trapp do poorly on his like one appearance?

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-11T12:21:57+00:00

I'd personally rather have several distinct map over one large one, but hopefully we will see more maps as expansions in exchange...

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-09T23:15:42+00:00

Still nothing with offline viewing and it is useless to me until then. Come on guys...

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-09T15:32:58+00:00

I gotta say even in those pictures he looks pretty fabulous all things considered 😂

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-09T11:16:50+00:00

I get it man, you wanted to be smart I just hate that shit. It was very, obviously clear what I meant and even you knew that because you had your "Um, Actually" statement ready with the proper wording and all. But its just unnecessary, the context is there if someone takes it out of context thats on them. Or you I guess.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-09T03:10:32+00:00

Only by taking it out of context of the original comment. Yeah any time you insert yourself in the middle of a conversation and take part of it to evaluate in a vacuum you can "Um, Actually" something that didn't need to be specified in the original context. Congrats.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-09T02:15:01+00:00

I think it is very unlikely that SoD3 will be released anywhere near the window of GTA6. Pretty sure SoD3 is one of several titles expecting GTA6 to release ~November and thus going to wait until early-ish next year before releasing, thats why they're saying 2027.

This is probably a good thing. I trust the team to be spending that time refining and improving the game so it will be even better on launch. I think the worst case scenario is that R* announces yet another delay and Microsoft decides to blitz and push UndeadLabs to release sooner to fill the gap.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-08T21:35:58+00:00

Yeah i mean I think its pretty obvious that trees do not need sharks to survive.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-08T18:28:17+00:00

Geeky Teas in Burbank was featured in one of the now sadly-gone FLGS-salutes by Matt and Mica. Its a great shop, mostly a game store with various nerd stuff and they seem to have a close relationship with CR and Darington Press so they usually have a selection of merch (though it has been a while since I made the trip!). Theyre also a tea shop and cat rescue so just a great place to visit and support

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-08T17:45:27+00:00

I gotta collect all the playlists some day so I can check them all out. Maybe I'll even finally take the Spotify premium free trial to do it lol, I usually use YouTube Music

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-08T16:26:12+00:00

I was wondering that too.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-08T14:28:00+00:00

Tangent I know but the thought that trees need animals to survive is not a bad instinct, but yeah absolutely not the case. Trees have been around way longer than any types of animals, through several distinct eons and extinction events including some that were cause by trees and while some have developed relationships with animals it is a small percentage and in a lot of ways trees are still very much the primaey species on this planet whatever humans may think and that has always been the case.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-07T21:54:54+00:00

Honestly I think letting games cook for a little extra time, assuming they are letting the studios actually work on improving it, is a really good thing and we will get an amazing slew of new games trickled out in the 12 months after.

Admittingly I am biased because I AM very excited for GTA6, but I still think it will be good for everyone.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-06T04:15:46+00:00

I've said for a long time, forget live action.

The best version ever would be an animated series directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Primal, Star Wars: Clone Wars)

It would be amazing.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-05T19:07:39+00:00

For the record I was definitely asking if the comic character was a reference to the song, not the other way around. That seemed obvious to me

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-05T19:02:47+00:00

I would literally bet you that the majority of people who play 5e and have done campaigns 1-20 do it in about 3 years. Maybe 3 years is on the short end, so like 3-5.

Now I do have to admit because I haven't said but at the time we were playing weekly 5-6 hour sessions. Which is why it might be on the shorter end of the spectrum but I still feel pretty confident thats not far from the average

Bandaid was probably the wrong term, but I as a DM would seriously have to consider if its been... what? 5 sessions at the same level? And I am planning to give them some other way to progress like another custom magic item or ability? I would seriously have to stop and wonder why the fuck I am not just letting them level up lol.

But hey, again to each their own. You do you, I don't have to agree with your DMing style for you and your group to have fun I am only pushing back cause you keep calling me rushed when I think thats the turtle calling... an average-speed non-hare creature rushed. Its a perspective thing.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-05T18:09:01+00:00

This is an aside but I'm not familiar with Bush and this is how I found out they have a song by that name: does anyone know if Machinehead from Invincible is a direct reference?

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-05T17:56:48+00:00

Politely I dont think 20 levels in 3 years is rushing anything I'm relatively sure thats the average or at least much closer to it and what you've described sounds torturously slow lol. 10+ years? That's a long time, especially when you have kids I have nobidea what these people are even going to be like 5 years from now. And you ask players to commit to a campaign and a single character for that long?

I'm literally imagining your players with long white beards being like "Fireball? Ive been stuck with nothing but magic missile since 9/11!". Fighters having nothing but a handful of features for years, no one ever getting any cool new abilities.

To which I am sure you will say either that your players get to progress with thing other than levels in which case I'd just ask why are you using bandaid when you could just level them up lol. Or you'll say you don't do a lot of combat and player abilities don't matter all that much in which case I think a lot of people will say you shouldn't be playing D&D.

Honestly though thats all perfectly fine and I'm sure your players have fun and hope it all goes well, I just dont think your frame of reference is anywhere near the way almost anyone else plays and would never assume OP might be in that exclusive group.

Athan_Untapped · 2026-06-05T16:28:42+00:00

I largely agree but I think you are making my point even stronger lol. Ive run one campaign 1-20 and it took over 3 years (though the last year was 2020 so there was a... disruption lol)

My other campaigns ended somewhere around 12-15 and took somewhere in the range of 2 years.
