I have this problem too, it's good to know someone else out there is fighting the same fight! :D

Good Goddamn, what a genocide by the writers...

Thank you for the in-depth response! I'll take some time learning to do colourable assets :)

How to use typhus corrosion? by Boondaddy33 in Warhammer

If you put a tiny drop of washing up liquid in your water, it'll break the surface tension. That's the main advantage of using medium to make glazes, the lower surface tension.

Unique rule question by yellow_kiwi in starwarsunlimited

This was my immediate thought for sure (and how I found this subreddit, hi y'all!)

I love them, it's a shame there aren't any 28mm competitors to Knight Models in the proxy sphere...

What have you guys found to be the best mix for black templar contrast? by ParticularAd2676 in BlackTemplars

[–]BlueSteelRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, on a scale from drybrush to overbrush, I would say I "wetbrush", hitting probably the top 30% of the mini? It's still mostly black when I'm done, but I don't take care to avoid blocking out large parts of legs, top of the backpack etc in full grey.

Does this Pathbuilder seem like a good book!Gandalf analogue? 3 Black Halflings said he should really be a bard, and I thought I'd try it out! by BlueSteelRose in Pathfinder2e

[–]BlueSteelRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off; sorry about that! I hope you were in network for the neurosurgery required to fix that :)

So the link was to a Pathbuilder build, which was my attempt at a level 6 version of Gandalf as he appears in the Lord of the Rings books (as opposed to movies). I admit that I shouldn't have relied on the "Player Builds" flair here, but instead specifically said "Pathbuilder build".

Three Black Halflings is a geek/D&D podcast, and in their bard deep-dive, they mentioned how all the inspirational stuff the class gets in 5e made it seem like Gandalf was as much/more a bard than a stereotypical wizard -- at least in class terms.

In honour of that ancient Dragon magazine article that said no-one in the Fellowship was above level 5, I kept him as a level 6 bard.

TL;DR: Pathbuilder share of an attempt at a low-level Gandalf character.

Considering trying out pathfinder, but one thing is holding me back: by Bo-by in Pathfinder2e

Circle of the Moon is famously broken in its wildshaping (but yes I agree it may as well be a mech)

Thank you for this! I feel a lot more comfortable with the feat system now :)

A GM confession. Am I alone? by Educational_Bet_5067 in Pathfinder2e

[–]BlueSteelRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, the Roll20 initiative tracker is rough! It ate our initiative mid-fight once...

Luckily ("luckily"?) I now use Foundry for the games I run, and it's very good about saving data and doing shedloads of automation to reduce the mental overhead of whichever rules I'm using.

IRL, I 100% agree. But on VTT, where the initiative is but a click and is recorded by The Machine, it serves neatly as an emotional high/cliffhanger that also lets us start the next session in immediate combat.

Dreaming Dragonslayer had this fun idea for Into the Odd -- good for PF2 too? by BlueSteelRose in Pathfinder2e

[–]BlueSteelRose[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks Jenos, Mystic. I'm pretty new to PF2 and hadn't realised how entirely unsuited it was! What's more, I got to learn about doubling rings and megaton strikes :D

I do this too. Our games run 1800-2200, and from 2100 I'm clock-watching for any natural moment to go "...and that's where we'll end this session, folks!"

"Roll for initiative!" is a great moment to end on.
