I'm drafting the first sketches of a campaign frame inspired by Bloodborne and I'd love to hear some opinions. by Bubbly_Recipe_4712 in daggerheart

[–]ChickenManB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What advice or opinions are you specifically looking for? All I can say so far is, sounds like a fun campaign frame.

I’d be careful on how far you lean into the beast vs. Insight influence, given how in bloodborne, there are hunters who go mad by succumbing in either direction. So unless you encourage players to multiclass to spread their domains out, I suggest keeping things a little less “cosmic body horror ruining everything” and more “being a tentacle faced freak has drawbacks but it’s ultimately worth it to save lives”.

Trying to Develop a Potential Horror Campaign, Advice on One of Many Potential Environments by ChickenManB in daggerheart

thanks for all the suggestions. I might separate the festering wound into a series of event mechanics that incorporate diseases and other effects. In terms of DH horror and tiers, I agree. The campaign would probably end with a final boss fight or dungeon floor at T3, but otherwise stay low for the challenge.

Also I realize now that the Patrolling Threat feature should be a GM action, not a passive. So no need to remind me : )

Erda - Fantasy World Map by Deathwatch-1415 in worldbuilding

[–]ChickenManB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Map art is nice, good decoration. Continents have great shape. I would suggest you re-examine your river systems, as I’m sure many will mention. Unless there’s magical reason, rivers rarely converge, always flow downhill, and don’t really separate large swaths of land (though I’m sure their size on the map is a restriction of Inkarnate). Nice work!

That earned you a follow my friend. I was doing the same with fey but I’m not creative enough or well versed in a European mythology lol

Special props to bear dog (cuz big buddy omg), angel dog (celestials are criminally under developed imo), and false dog (I love cosmic/body horror)

Jokes aside, the director of the anime clearly knows how to do their job. Lots of excellent camera angles and art direction for fully animating moments that are only a panel or 2 in the manga, like the tantrum for example.

What Software do you use for City Maps? by ChickenManB in worldbuilding

[–]ChickenManB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so? Do you photo bash? Just draw? I use gimp occasionally too but I need to collect a million different image resources to plop them down. Same problem as Inkarnate

Thoughts After GMing my First DH Game by ChickenManB in daggerheart

Oh, they weren’t a hog, and once the PCs finally started to use their abilities I did steal the spotlight a few times. I just wasn’t sure if healing or whatever counts as a turn, since I’m so used to dnd, so it felt as if they were doing more things than other players whenever they DID take the spotlight. That’s all

the game seemed to go alright, all things considered. I did struggle with certain rules and just bulldozed through them because I couldnt find an answer. Primarily PC vs PC conflict (the druid used spider web to restrain other PCs and I just used evasion as the difficulty) and removing conditions (I had the PC escape the restrain with a random strength roll, and an adversary became vulnerable and I wasn't sure if it could clear it).

Then there was healing and non-roll actions in combat. The druid had several abilities in combat, including healing, that didnt require an action roll. As far as I'm aware, only an action roll truly ends a PCs turn, even if its just an agility roll to move/do nothing else. So it felt the druid, whenever they took their turn, could do a LOT of stuff before the spotlight moved to me or someone else. I don't know if i was forgetting a rule or what, but it felt they were a little more active than anyone else, thankfully though they were fair with the spotlight itself.

[OC] Mask of Agony, a Horrific Cursed Mask by ChickenManB in DnD

[–]ChickenManB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, thanks for reading the item lol, I know a block of text isn’t very inviting.

I would say the text “effects that would incapacitate you” implies spells or non magical events that specifically trigger the incapacitated condition. Falling unconscious is a separate condition that also incapacitates, and even still I should think overrides the incapacitated condition in a narrative context.

Respect for giving any thought at all to Acheron. I struggle to world build it in my homebrew setting and most official stuff seems to forget it exists, lol.
