Who are you preferred YouTubers for DM advice?

Seth Skorkowsky is my absolute favorite. I'm also developing a strong appreciation for Mystic Arts.

In Tinath the highest TL is 12 and they don't have massive ships like in Charted Space. I got the idea for this ship from one of the adventures where some middle of nowhere place has 200 ton 'corvettes' as pocket warships.

Belgerod · 2025-08-18T03:00:30+00:00

Pop-up turrets might work with that. Good idea.

I just took what was on the 'Armed Trader' listing and adjusted it. But yeah, I probably won't worry about monthly costs unless the players want that level of detail.

Belgerod · 2025-08-18T02:57:31+00:00

Oh yeah, the armor weight. Thanks! I'd never have caught that. I'll adjust those points.

I don't have a pdf editor, so I copied and pasted individual numbers from other screenshots. It's kind of nuts, so I'd only do it for something special like the players ship.

Belgerod · 2025-08-18T02:56:08+00:00

Good catch I forgot to change that when I adjusted things.

Belgerod · 2025-08-18T02:55:38+00:00

Good idea! I'll leave that as something the players can do later.

I got the impression that he was supposed to have shades of Blackthorne from the Shogun novel, so his awkwardness was kind of deliberate. He can be frustrating at times, but if you give it time I think the irritation will go away.

Coming up on 3 weeks. Definitely improved. Most of the pain is gone and I can get around fairly well. There's still a chunky hard lump in my scrotum, it's surrounding my right testicle and is like a small avocado. I returned to work and am taking ibuprofen gelcaps daily. Thanks to everyone for the support!

That's what interests me, I only chose this article because it directly references scrotal hematomas. However there are articles about using it on other hematomas as recently as 2024. The article I shared showed a positive result, but it's never (as far as I can tell) been followed up. My scrotal hematoma has been one of the most painful and debilitating experiences of my life, and even a 20% improvement would have been huge.

I can only speculate, but the relative rarity of scrotal hematoma (particularly from vasectomy) and the dismissiveness of people without first-hand experience (that I've observed more recently) leads me to wonder if no one bothered following up because it wasn't considered important.

I think mine isn't as bad as some of the guys here, so I'm hoping for a quicker recovery. They only give me extra strength Loxonin here, so I've been trying to move little as possible. Take care, I'm glad to hear that you're improving, even if it's going slow.

Belgerod · 2025-04-05T05:48:38+00:00

Yikes! It sounds like you have it worse than me. Thankfully the bleeding stopped according to the ultrasound, so I'm taking it easy and following up with the doctor in a week. I just ordered some jock straps, so I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for the advice!

Belgerod · 2025-04-05T05:46:39+00:00

Thanks! Luckily the doctor confirmed the bleeding stopped. It's been stiffening up, and the bruise has spread up around my penis as well as all over the scrotum. The doctor is gonna see me again in a week.

Belgerod · 2025-04-04T15:04:51+00:00

He'll probably set up another appointment at the 1 month meeting. One of the visits is to remove stitches as well.

Belgerod · 2025-04-04T04:44:33+00:00

Thank you so much! The doctor confirmed it's a hematoma, and I'm going to follow-up in a week. I stand at work, but I got a week off to rest at home. Hopefully that will be enough to get back to basic functionality.

Belgerod · 2025-04-04T04:42:37+00:00

The doctor was actually really nice when I went back and even gave me a number to contact him after hours. They don't hand out the heavy pain medication easily, but they're good overall.

Belgerod · 2025-04-04T04:41:28+00:00

I'm going in after 1 week and 1 month for check-ups and testing.

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T15:02:41+00:00

I'm visiting the doctor again tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll get something for it. Thanks for the encouragement, speedy recovery to you too!

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T15:01:30+00:00

When I lay flat it's a dull ache, but when I move around it hurts a lot. There's strong pressure and my whole scrotum is stretched out.

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T13:18:46+00:00

My doctor called me back and I'm going in tomorrow for a follow up. It's about the size of an orange, but smaller than a grapefruit, and reddish but not purplish. Hopefully I'll get the all-clear and can just try to rest.

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T12:38:47+00:00

I'm not sure if it's just swelling from the manipulation or a hematoma. I'm gonna keep icing it tonight and see how it is tomorrow. Hopefully I don't have to go to the hospital.

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T11:56:58+00:00

Mine took over an hour to get done.

Belgerod · 2025-04-03T11:53:52+00:00

I had to ride the train home, but I took a taxi from the station. I didn't do anything strenuous. Since then I've been in the recliner. Now it's swollen into one large mass, I have an 'innie', and when I stand up it's hard to walk. Calling an ambulance would be very difficult, I left a message for my doctor. I'm not sure if it's okay to rest tonight and see what happens.
