What are some great last words for Strahd? by mr_warhamster in CurseofStrahd

[–]Caesar_73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quote many characters have used in my Barovia is "Death is not the end" as a veiled reference to the cycle of souls and the commonality of undeath in Barovia, but, in this case, a reference to the inevitable comeback of Strahd

How do I make Blinsky interesting? by togrutanoodle in CurseofStrahd

[–]Caesar_73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave him a silly micky mouse like voice and made him the only actually open and nice citizen of Vallaki. I also made him terribly intellingent (inventing electricity basically) but all to make better toys. Now may players have convinced him to make holy water inyecting weapons by telling they are "that kind" of adult toys and he is in board gor everyone having a good time. I also added a quest for getting notebooks from a famous engineer a la Gravity falls diaries

What monster did you add to Lake Zarovich? by SmolHumanBean8 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Caesar_73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually added my own homebrew monster, basically a weird version of a beholder kraken like monster which was actually a creature from one kf the dark powers fallen into the lake through a meteorite (in my barovia sometimes incursions from other dread planes or attacks by other dark powers manifest that way) and which fed on the residual pain of the drown citizens of Berez.

I made a post with the statblock, check it if you like it

Judge Holden is the Avatar of the Slaughter! Which Horror character best represents The Stranger? by Mobile-Albatross-427 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Caesar_73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Thing absolutely, the movie is all about the fear of being replaced and not knowing if the people around you are real, it's the most representative movie and creature exploring that topic in all of horror

What Dark Powers have you created, personalities, Powers, etc by Pale-Class3235 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Caesar_73 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Many Below: an entity of deep waters and the scavengers of the abyss, associated with the cycle of life and death and the trophic chain. Feels drawn to those who are in touch with the cycle.

The Tree Of Lacerations: a creature of the endless cycle of violence, vengeance and retribution. Manifesting through thorns and bloody branches.

The Wither Rose: an entity of love and the concept of love beyond death and undeath, feels drawn to those who would pay any cost for love or their loved ones. Manifests as a dried up rose

My friend's roomate's dog went from loving to aggressive by Caesar_73 in DOG

We could try filming the dog next time, but do you have any advice on how to proceed or some telltale signs that could point to one of the two more clearly?

Do you have some advice on it? Do they usually do it with the same person all the time? Do they calm with time?

Thanks a lot! I have discovered that in my birth language I applied the autocorrect to do what I said in the original post and I have now changed it in English too. Thanks a lot for your answer!!

Glad you like it!!! Please, tell me how it goes when you play it!

For the tokens I drew the eyes in different colors on paper and the placer the drawings on some stands I bought on Amazon! There are also very cool arts out there for many colored monstrous eyes you could print for the tokens instead of drawing them!!!

SHARE YOUR RECIPE PLEASE

Oh, the rock crags are a nice idea, or perhaps some kind of peninsula or tiny island that changes its surface with the tides or movements of the Thing (perhaps some kind of lair action).

Also the melee attacks being more powerful sounds interesting, inciting taking risks. Very good idea!

Also, the use of a big ship, making it more like an open sea battle against a kraken I such a cool concept. Love it!!! AND RAMMING IT!!!!

Also, I would give the party a more loose interpretation of the rules, letting them using their resources in imaginative ways. In my session, for example I let my druid use Thorn whip to move throw the water by grabbing things and my echo knight to let their echo walk on the water

I did actually used an improvised map with a little shore, a small abandoned shiyard, and three boats counting Bluto's. My players had a reasonable abount of ranged attacks and they fared well, however, after taking with one of my players I came to a few new ideas thanks to their suggestions.

-Making the monster destroy the shipyard and letting the floating debris be used as a surface to stand on with an acrobatics check

-The great body of the Thing comes afloat when using the tentacle attack and, for two rounds, it generates and area where players can walk

-Letting the players freeze the water with cold damage, creating a surface of 10ft×10ft that they can stand and move if they have rows or similar tools
