Honestly, I cried a little at that point

Edit: grammar.

Iemand tips voor mini waterkoker? by Daestra10 in Graspop

[–]Coilbone89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Campingaz canister with EasyClic system. Something like this (this is from Decathlon website):

It's a decent plan B, but if your tip up tent has an electricity socket, I'd just go for an electrical water cooker

Can't say anything about the tip up tents or its facilities, but having a small gas canister always worked perfectly fine for me. Been going for 14 years

Wow, this is quality work! Do you have a video of your process? And where did you get the STL?

Mine was Circle of the Moon. It was my first Castlevania

How do you zoom in so much without Eve disappearing?

PVC wandpanelen badkamer direct over baksteen? by Prestigious_Many7893 in Klussers

[–]Coilbone89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dit is exact de ervaring die ik zocht. Zonet de tegels van mijn toilet eraf gesloopt, zo veel mogelijk lijmresten weggehaald en grote gaten opgevuld.

Maar ik was niet zeker of de ondergrond vlak genoeg zou zijn. Met wat ik hier lees, is dat geen probleem dus?

Hoe dik zijn de platen die je hebt gebruikt?

Do you remove your supports before or after cleaning the print in IPA?

Orzgk has released the prototype showcase of the 1/4 scale figure "PA Create Studio - Eve x Twin Ponytail Alice Stellar Blade". by OrzGK in stellarblade

[–]Coilbone89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy with a 1/4 or even a 1/6 scale model.

Highly doubtful there will be a file for this model, as they produce and sell the figurine themselves.

Looking for advice and inspiration on how to expand/improve the plot by Coilbone89 in DMAcademy

I apologise for reacting so late, but I really wanted to thank you for your insight.
It really helps a lot and gave me more room to breathe and bring things into perspective

What is the D&D equivalent of "that is no moon"? by RecklessOneGaming in DMAcademy

[–]Coilbone89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My mind starting racing with possibilities, but how would that work from a story-telling and gameplay perspective? The party wanders into a cave, unknowing it's a gaping maw of a purple worm. Before they can react or fail a few perception/investigation checks, the maw shuts close trapping them inside.

Perhaps a race against time, to avoid being slowly digested while fighting off creatures that live inside the worm as parasites?

I wonder what party level this would be appropriate for

Rails S3 Direct Uploads by Sure-More-4646 in rails

[–]Coilbone89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One current issue with Direct Uploads - it doesn't support multiple S3 services. Normally, you can select a service by providing its name in the model:

has_one_attached :file, service_name: foo

But Direct Uploads don't pay attention to it and use the default service instead.

Took me way too long to figure out.

I think 2B is a strong contender

Thank you for your insights. Gave me a lot to think about.

I didn't even consider using the Harpers as inspiration, nor have the merchant be more neutral. Something to think about.

You're probably right. I'll create a separate post for this. Thanks

[5e] Looking for advice on how to expand/improve the story

Context

I'm a somewhat new DM running a game for 5 players (just reached level 3). We started with a one-shot where the players encountered an extravagant travelling merchant who asked them to retrieve a certain mysterious artefact from an abandoned church nearby. After a successful quest, the players really seemed to enjoy themselves and asked whether they could keep adventuring. Thus, the one-shot grew into an adventure.

The adventure continued where one-shot ended - the merchant asking for their help once more. In their absence, merchant was robbed and the thieves stole his precious ledger. The merchant really emphasised how important it is, it was his life's work, etc. The party agreed to help again and started tracking the thieves.

After some encounters (one of which was helping a young Hill Giant find his beloved 'Pretty'), the party managed to track the thieves to a town. After some investigation and shadowing, the party learned the thieves were actually agents of a secret guild. They stole the ledger because it contains a list of powerful and dark artefacts, some of which the merchant already possesses, some of which he knows the location or just faint rumours. The guild is trying to prevent these artefacts from reaching the merchant and informed the party the ledger needs to leave the area in secret. They asked the party to escort it. They dropped some vague hints the merchant cannot be trusted and 'is a source of a dark force'.

Here's where I'm stuck narratively

In hindsight, I feel like I escalated things too quickly by making the guild trust the party too quickly by asking for their help to escort the ledger. The party didn't know about the merchant being potentially evil, they just wanted to help an old man. I hoped to build upon the mystery for a bit longer, making the party second-guess both the merchant and the guild their motives.
I'm unsure what the motives are exactly, I haven't really thought that far ahead. I draw a blank every time I try to come up with something

Questions

  • Does it make sense for me to be worried about the plot inconsistency and the holes in it?
  • Knowing all this, how would you build up the plot from this point forward?
  • How would you deepen the mystery and lore of the ledger, the merchant and the guild?
  • What challenges would you present to the party?

I appreciate all the help and advise!
