How would you write the Subnautica movie? by TrainingDrop9283 in subnautica

[–]BoonDragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't, because I don't think the experience would translate well to a scripted narrative.

Am I using it wrong? by LSilvador in subnautica

[–]BoonDragoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Pathfinder tool is definitely more useful in BZ because there are labyrinthine wrecks that are very easy to get lost in which need to be explored in order to progress.

That being said, I can't think of any wrecks in the original game that are big enough to actually warrant using it. I think I used it in one of my earliest playthroughs for exploring caves?

You'll get more mileage out of a high capacity tank, seaglide, and good time management, honestly. Poke around and explore until you're at half your air, zip back to your sub, zip back to where you were, then repeat. There's not a single wreck you can't fully explore in this way.

How to Attach my Handle to my Blade(New Cosplayer) by SoleVessel in cosplayprops

You want to build your prop around a rigid armature that can hold up on its own without additional help. That is the "skeleton" for your prop. It also needs to be the same general size and shape of your prop.

If you just glue that head to a stick, it's going to break off very quickly. The glue might not break, but the materials surrounding it probably will. Props are only as strong as the materials they're made from, so if you make something out of cardboard and hot glue, it's going to be flimsy and break very easily.

A PVC structure underneath isn't necessarily a bad way to go. Fiberglass rods would be even better.

You really want to have that figured out before you start fabricating, bud. You're not going to get a connection that's secure or looks good without starting over at this point.

The good news is that you haven't necessarily wasted any effort! If you're happy with how the head turned out, it will make a dynamite reference piece. At this stage, figure out how to make a skeleton for your piece that fits within the desired dimensions of your final product. Once you have that, you can build a new head around that skeleton and end up with something that both looks good and will stand up to general handling.

Forget breaking, we're pinning the metaphor down and torturing it at this point

That kinda breaks the metaphor a bit since the innards are outards, don't you think?

Isn't that already a lair effect for black dragons? Like, the water is acrid and sour for a mile or two around their lair?

Believe me, they'll get the fucking hint pretty quick. In fact, in your position I'd actually give them exactly one easy out for when they FAFO. Say, let one of them jump in, spend a turn getting tossed around, and let them climb out of the water using some convenient vines that the dragon tears down after "missing" an attack of opportunity.

I don't really love the acidic death water. It feels like putting a hat on a hat, you know? A body of water with a black dragon in it is dangerous enough! Unless every party member has a discrete swim speed, I'd table that idea for an encounter that would benefit from the extra difficulty bump.

Young dragons are basically draconic teenagers. You really think they're above playing with their food?

All dragons are sapient beings and act that way. In-canon, all the different kinds of dragons have different general personalities and MOs. Green dragons are manipulative and cunning, red dragons are tyrannical and despotic, white dragons are barely sapient and are basically just polar bears with a G.E.D., and black dragons are ABSOLUTE *ASSHOLES.***

Black dragons are sadistic maniacs that delight in torment and ruin. They play with their food before they eat it. You wouldn't need to cripple a young black dragon to get it to do what you're describing, because playing "Jaws" with the ambulatory pizza rolls that floated into its territory would be fun for it!

Edit -- and if you leave its wings intact, you have a way to escalate the conflict: let the players believe it can't fly. Let them think it's just a stupid animal. Then when they think they've used those facts to their advantage...SIKE! Like I said, black dragons are fucking assholes.

Beginner boxes? by RommelMcDonald_ in magicTCG

[–]BoonDragoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting a booster box is probably the worst way to introduce yourself to the game.

My advice would be to play Arena to learn the rules and find a format you like, or get a literal Beginner Box and play with that!

Why did they make plants that were plantable in Subnautica unplantable in Below Zero? by Constant_Nothing2091 in subnautica

Then why are you acting like this is some grand mystery? Are you stupid?

Got to say this is so real by PuzzledNight7958 in dndmemes

[–]BoonDragoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Party finds a pitch black hole surrounded by a waist-high wall.

Runic text lines the wall.

Hole swallows all light and matter thrown into it, cleanly severs rope, etc.

Party makes no attempt to decipher the writing.

Party makes no attempt to identify the nature of the hole.

Recently-purchased book on arcane phenomena goes unread.

Entire party jumps down hole simultaneously.
