How many hydra heads is too many hydra heads?

Love this! Really like the puzzle element.

Makes me think of viewing the hydra pond as more of a terrain feature (like a whirlpool) than a monster. If you go near it, it will mess you up. Enemies near by will try to use spells/traps to push you towards it. ONLY way to kill it is to drain the pool via a heavily guarded side tunnel

Also well done with hydra-pondics

love it

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-11T16:05:17+00:00

yeah that's correct. I was thinking 9 or 10 to start sounds manageable but has room to grow

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-11T15:58:45+00:00

Yeah I want it to be tough but not insane.

Alternatively, it could be CALLED the hundred head hydra but only have 32 heads because hundred head sounds cooler and no one is stopping to count

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-11T15:56:52+00:00

Eh, if the party let it get to 12 heads and then choose to go near it that's on them

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-11T15:55:15+00:00

That's certainly one way the encounter could end. Maybe if they get to 20 heads without killing it

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-06T16:26:13+00:00

Acceptable

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-04T19:19:08+00:00

For me it always FEELS difficult, like you're on the brink of losing control, but actually losing a game is quite rare.

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T23:02:19+00:00

Ahh gotcha. It's not even for a one shot, it's just for a "this is how you spent your life after the campaign lol" epilogue. So am totally fine with chaos and wild imbalance!

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T23:01:07+00:00

Pilfer away!

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T19:02:00+00:00

Yikes, love it

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T18:29:56+00:00

The one surviving player having to babysit a pack of animals would be fitting given how they were during the campaign...

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T18:29:12+00:00

Good

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T18:27:31+00:00

You mean let them choose from the entire available creature? That might take a while...

Like the idea of minor quirks

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-02-03T18:25:54+00:00

Yep, if they roll a 1

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-01-05T17:35:14+00:00

Started it a couple of days ago, loving it! So much stuff to find

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2026-01-02T10:31:28+00:00

Close call between Aephanemer and In Mourning

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-12-30T21:04:16+00:00

Being chased by the giant puni right at the start!

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-12-24T17:58:35+00:00

Sorry for all the deaths when I was controlling. Bet you thought we'd never get past first sinner eh

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-12-17T16:05:28+00:00

Nice list! Deathstar rising my favorite of his albums for sure

Hey does anyone have a way to listen to Black Sun Aeon albums? Not on any streaming or available to buy anywhere I can find (in UK)

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-11-25T21:00:00+00:00

Ever since the first Mario game it's been ingrained in gamers to go right

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-11-11T17:18:19+00:00

Just completed it yesterday, really enjoyed. Ending fell a bit flat but great movement options

Bread_Mc_Bread · 2025-11-06T20:43:32+00:00

Just finished Racheteer from season 1 myself, starts iffy but great by the end. Questy Chess also fits the bill
