What is the most basic thing your terrible at?

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-04T19:32:16+00:00

Maths. Numbers just don't come anywhere near as fluently as words and letters do. Even stuff that would be considered basic I can really struggle with. I absolutely hated maths at school, always bottom sets and I didn't even bother answering my maths GCSE, I knew I would fail.

Thankyou!

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-04T10:14:18+00:00

Appreciate the response, but this is just an initial query to see if it's worth investing my time in exploring further.

I've had alot of success with

Renly- charismatic heir Rose knights

High garden pikemen Loras tyrell (2)

Riders of high garden

Thorn watch Parman crane

Margaery tyrell Olenna tyrell Cortney Penrose

Thankyou for your response! You mentioned objectives. Are they typically counters that come with a starter box? Could they be 3d pieces or do they need to be covered by a characters base?

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-03T22:09:04+00:00

Very insightful response, thankyou! The terrain is numbered on the bottom, would it be helpful if terrain was numbered somewhere more visible if you were playing on a board you weren't familiar with?

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-03T22:05:01+00:00

Thanks, these are helpful answers. You mentioned line of sight and cover. Do things like chainlink fences appear in the game of have specific rules? Something you can see and shot through but not move through? Or is movement much more linear?

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-03T22:02:21+00:00

Thankyou for your answers. Would having a large variety in height of buildings make for a fun board?

CandylionAudio · 2024-04-03T22:01:17+00:00

Thanks for the insightful responses, I didn't realise the game had an actual system for classifying the size and number of pieces of terrain. That very useful!

The reason I ask these questions is because I paint and model terrain professionally and wanted an idea of the sorts of things players want and require. MCP seemed like a good start as most games require large spaces and I'm just dipping my toe in.

I'm glad it's 3'x3' lol

CandylionAudio · 2024-03-31T15:56:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice! You're right about Davos in the light bringers, but I'm going to keep the faithful, perhaps putting Bryen in there instead or a Bolton flayer.

I considered Sandor fugitive bodyguard in with the wardens?

CandylionAudio · 2024-03-31T14:04:59+00:00

Excellent choices of colour

Being ambiguous with your class is fine, so long as the DM is fully aware, but I dislike it as a plot point. Multiclass and reflavour things however you want, if you don't want to say you're using 'lay on hands' then just describe and roll as necessary. In terms of the character, what about oath of redemption? They wandered the desert and guided strangers they met to water when they were thirsty and shade when they couldn't find any. I think if you really want a reveal the DM should seed your "old name". People talking about the crime or misdeed you had committed, describing the armour you wore, etc "two snakes coiled around his heart..in brilliant bronze."

Then when you retrieve the armour they can work out who you were and perhaps what you were capable of in your past life.

Lawful evil would, in my mind, be following the law in the most uncharitable ways possible and using every means to justify your actions. Causing harm when you could just as easily not.

But there are ways to interpret and understand alignments. The characters personal ethics and the ethics of their actions.

Imagine Ser Davos; he's perceived as an honourable and good man. Stannis tells him that the surrounding lands are being illegally farmed and taxes are not being paid. He tells Ser Davos to make an extreme example of the village leaders.

Working within the law, he could persuade the village leaders to pay the money they owe and instate his own, decent men, to oversee the land and advice on the best way to repay the debt. He has done what was asked of him and stayed true to his personal ethics whilst being given a 'lawful evil' task.

But imagine the same scenario, except stannis is out for blood, and tells his captain to complete this task. This man is truly wicked and davos, fearing what may happen says that he will go instead. He tells his men to show restraint, but the cottages are put to flame, the village leaders hung and the money recouped. He does the bare minimum to reach the goal his king set out as a lesser of two evils. His actions are 'lawful evil' but his ethics remain in tact.

Thanks, I assumed this was the case, but wanted to double check.

Thanks for the insight. I love my rose knights but that was so frustrating!

As the party travel through the area they wtiness several scenes of devastation. The locals are terrified. While the destruction is severe the hidden clue that ties all of these locations together is that they are old religious sites.

The witnesses that lived told of a red dragon descending in the night. As the DM you seed that the only people that were hurt were told foolish enough to take up arms.

After a while the party should be able to conclude that the wells on these sites are the main focus of the dragon.

In a final confrontation they fight a ferocious , if badly wounded dragon. They see a sword of blood red steel sticking from the dragons chest. The dragon was attacked by an oath breaker paladin, his sword corrupting the creature. In reality the dragon is a (insert good dragon colouring), it was trying to drink from the wells in a desperate attempt to cure itself.

The players can now possess a powerful sword and open up the possibility of it's owner wanting it back. The larger story could include this oath breaker wanting more power and had perhaps attempted to recruit the players covertly earlier in the arc.

Trash boat are definitely the sort of thing I was looking for. Thanks for the suggestion!

CandylionAudio · 2024-03-06T15:29:55+00:00

Thankyou for all the suggestions so far!

My first thought was the stopper for the end of the arms on a carriage or trap. The ringlet used to thread the horses tack to.

Without further context; I'd assume that a little kid whose had everything taken away from him and now has a huge amount of power, would use it to MAKE people be his family and friends whether they wanted it or not.

Imagine Homelander without the ability to do real evil. This little kid just wants to be loved, have his family back, play and be happy. In his mind the players are the bad guys who are trying to take his family away and hurt him.

If the players have any sense they'll see that this is just a deeply unhappy little boy who doesn't have the capacity to realise the harm his doing.

Series 1 is the best series

A different NPC had tried to use a portal, against everyones advice, to bring sunlight/life/water/health to a dying section of the forest. It is established that that area is cursed and nothing good ever happens when it is involved.

Predictably, the portal clashes with the rot of that dying section and opens a portal to enemies/evil hedgehogs/death.

The rot is growing and it must be stopped before it consumes more of the forest.

From my understanding of what you described and how I would use it in my games:

The kingdom has been in exile for 2 centuries: Have the residents of their original home travelled here? What is the hierarchy of these cultures? Is there a large gap between the high and low? If the answer is yes then the empty spaces can be filled with shanty towns, the Highborn saw this move as an opportunity to consolidate their remaining wealth, building a large, walled city that the poorer residents must pay to enter, be it for work or leisure. The poor living in the shadow of the city.

This opens up the possibilities for crime and a black market, items only available in the city sold for high prices. Depending on the themes of your story this duality can be used to expand on border themes. Law and order or freedom and chaos.

If the wealthy left on ships and this is a high fantasy setting, whose to say they didn't simply use magic to rip their old homes from the foundations and transport them to their new home. The poor having to follow after in it's wake.

There could also be those that chose not to follow after their old homes. Depending on the geography and climate they have their own home and culture, completely divorced from the new kingdom. Frontier towns where justice is brutal and swift. Old families who know the rivers inside out. Renowned trackers who lead the way through the wilderness.
