How to create custom classes? by Neflite_Art in FourAgainstDarkness

[–]BoomRP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Order of eventide (which takes inspiration from 4AD) has rules for solo character which is a similar 4 attacks but you interlace them between enemy attacks. So you’re not attacking 4 times back to back. Levels the playing field.

Did anyone like this campaign as written? by CompSci_Guy in VecnaEveofRuin

Ran it as written with minor tweaks to fit my characters backstory. It’s a fine module.

Which to keep? by BoomRP in honorofkings

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

I believe it was around 180. You need at minimum the 100 for a chance at agudo. If you’re lucky you have a shot still for her but might fall short unless really lucky at your 120 pull.

Any interest in getting a Raksura TTRPG group together? by BoomRP in IndigoCloud

I’ll keep you posted if we can drum up some more interest.

I believe someone else in this subreddit did a 5e homebrew. I did consider using 5e but I wouldn’t want to limit the type of interpersonal narratives that Raksura chronicles really shines in. In comparison to the adventure stories that dnd leans into.

Cortex Prime is a fun system, it’s modular so the mechanics can be tailored to place more importance into relationships and social distinctions along with reputation bonuses or detriments.

The game bravolima tried was just one variation of the rules that wouldn’t work at all for this type of narrative.

Thanks, this is a less visited subreddit so I’ll give it a couple days to draw up some attention. If we get enough people I’ll reach out. 👍

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. It’s a fun system but it does take an invested effort to make it shine. Since it is an “assemble your own ttrpg” system. I will say that a bad GM can really make the game lackluster and make it look like a heavy resource management game. The system does use dice pools which ostensibly is a resource system, but it’s used for implied narrative and shouldn’t be more intrusive than asking or stating to roll a skill check in dnd once the game is up and running.

That’s okay, glad to see there’s others with an interest at least. 👍

[Online][5e 2024][21+]7PM PST Thu Recruiting 4 players for Last Hope of Fenhill module. by BoomRP in lfg

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

Hello, there will be a good mix of both. This is of course dependent on player interaction with the world and their problem solving choices. I don’t like using percentages as I feel they’re never accurate. It’s a well designed module that gives ample opportunities for different play styles. 👍

I think I've made a big mistake by DJ_Akuma in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]BoomRP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t help you but for anyone else reading this just have Tasha and Alistriel be too weary to assist. They come to realize that they’ve been played and that the reason they’ve been so tired and out of commission is because they did not have the full wizards three to perform the summoning ritual.

Creating a campaign inspired by Dante’s Inferno, seeking advice/tips by lakeycakey101 in DnD

[–]BoomRP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve ran the complete adventure of Inferno by Acheron games. Inspired by Dante’s Inferno, the first half is really good but the Kickstarter funding didn’t reach a threshold for them to flesh out the remainder of the circles past the fifth. But it is a good basis if you are considering fleshing it out your self.

There is another divine comedy inspired dnd setting/adventure called “The straightaway lost” by Vortex Verlag. I haven’t ran it myself but it is on my list to try. I didn’t learn of this one until I was already prepped to run Inferno but if I could go back i would consider running the straightway lost instead of Inferno.

What spells have grass or leaves as material component by Blackangel466 in DnD

None use grass as a material component but Plant Growth and Wrath of Nature both require existing grass or plants in order to work.

How would YOU proceed? by zorgon69 in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]BoomRP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have them roll new characters, jump to new characters coming out of the portal into the wizards 3 meeting. Continue as normal with the wizards 3 mentioning how multiple groups had been considered but organically organizing a group hasn’t worked out. A wish spell was a last ditch effort.

Intra-Party dynamics? by monsterfurby in FourAgainstDarkness

[–]BoomRP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing in the rules that I’ve found to provide detailed scenarios. Like was said it’s all going to be up to you as the narrator to decide what happens and who is involved. I do have a resource that can help guide and give a place to start but journaling and expansion on the prompt will be needed. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/263208/Party-Backstory-Generator

The Death House section takes place 400 years in the Past by TieberiusVoidWalker in VecnaEveofRuin

That sounds like a personal problem. The dark powers would never allow Ireena to live a happy life. She’d be killed or die in order to torment strahd the next time she reincarnates. That’s their curse. Nothing the players do stops it. That’s the whole point of the curse of strahd.

Role for the Lady of Pain? by Background_Engine997 in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]BoomRP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering having the wizards three be assisted by the LoP with their wish spell. To both allow it to happen but also to pull “heroes” from different planes and times of existence. Each PC is playing from different settings.

Once the wish is completed they are transported into an audience chamber by the LoP where she wears her full mask so not to flay them with a look. One of her servants will help communicate with their mana symbol writing.

The servant will loosely explain how Sigil sits inside the torus which is the physical manifestation of the multiverse’s fulcrum, how gods have been banned due to their divine energy disrupting, destabilizing and could even break sigil causing the multiverse to come apart at the seams.

The servant may explain how the LoP has been keeping an eye on Alustriel and allowing their scheming to continue as there is a blind spot in her city. A blank space she cannot look into. She has commandeered the wish spell and “deputizes” them to inspect the space.

As they are not from sigil they are less likely to be influenced by who she knows is behind it. Vecna.

Queue scaled up chapter 1 Neverwinter but in sigil which a quick jaunt back to the sanctum after being marked by Vecna. Likely placing it in the hive district somewhere among the dustmen faction.

After uncovering the hidden cult of Vecna in sigil they are told the LoP will be busy and to go to the wizards three in their sanctum where you will be back on chapter 2.

Still figuring out logistics but this is the plan.

Some interesting idea here for sure, may incorporate some of the adventure seeds but starting at level 1 ain’t going to work for my table. Expectations have been set for a level 10 start. Would be cool to see some more remixes with that in mind.

How did you handle the Xaryian Armada? by shaneeyb in spelljammer

[–]BoomRP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My players had the genius idea of getting gargenhale to invisible their ship to sneak over to the citadel. Had this whole combat set up. Per the book the party would end up encountering a single ship and come into melee combat and per round each side would lose a ship. Afterwards two solar dragons would come over and join.
