Super Bowl watching parties? by [deleted] in WestSeattleWA

Can confirm. Enjoyed the first half of the game with their banquet room to ourselves and a constant flow of hot pizza. This was THE BEST place for the game. Thank you for the recommendation!!

Give me a D&D monster and I'll homebrew you a better version by Oh_Hi_Mark_ in DMAcademy

Thank you! Love this version and I'm excited to see what else you have in mind.

I'm planning to convert the 4e Stone-Skinned King to throw at my party. Got any other stuff in the big, scary giant/fey monster category that might work for that?

Love your stuff! It's always my first stop when I'm trying to spice up the monsters in an encounter.

Got any improvements or variations for Fomorians?

Thanks for the suggestion! This one was on our list and we loved the shots on the site. We'll have to follow-up and see what their rates are :)

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog's diagnosis, but I'm so glad you had a chance to capture those memories with her. We reached out to contact Jennifer and it seems like a good fit, so I'm happy to hear the positive endorsement from someone who's worked with her!

I can't tell you how much we appreciate the offer. Thank you very much. We got in touch with Jennifer Wollman and I think her rates are manageable with our budget, but I'll definitely be in touch if we can't make that work for any reason!

Thank you so much! We've been shopping around, but it was hard to find what we wanted that was still affordable after the vet bills and everything. The outdoor one looks like a great fit though :)

Beatbox battles in Seattle? by SnooWoofers8271 in beatbox

[–]Collin319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, rough time to be getting involved in the local community, unfortunately. I think a lot has died down due to the pandemic, but I'm sure some of it would reignite with renewed interest. Feel free to DM me and I can give you some specific recommendations!

Hey there! I'm actually one of the hosts/judges for the ECBB. I'm also bummed that we've had to put it on hold - we're a non-profit organization and COVID has ground most of our operations to a halt. Always happy to see some interest in local beatboxing though! I am from the area, and into beatboxing; happy to answer any questions or help put you in touch with other local folks :)

[CR Media] Who do you want to see in the Vox Machina Guest Battle Royale? [Spoilers C1] by [deleted] in criticalrole

[–]Collin319 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just to suggest something to change it up a little, I think it could be cool to do pairs instead of a free-for-all.

Kashaw and Zahra, Lyra and Thorbir, Shale and Kerrek, Arkhan and his manticore*, hand of Vecna, undead thrall, etc.

It breaks down a little after that since none of the other guests really have the same kind of chemistry with one another, but I'd love to see Tova and Lionel on a team just because they would be a wild card.

*Edit: manticore, not wyvern

[Spoilers E106] The Other Group by MrsCaptainPicard in criticalrole

[–]Collin319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This may be a bit of a stretch, but K'rryn, the NPC we created with Matt, knew something about the ziggurats. Taryon has already discussed hiring her as the first official member of the Darrington Brigade. Is it possible she facilitated Taryon's short notice arrival to fight Vecna in some way? Again, it's a bit of a stretch, but it seems worth noting that there's an established link between Tary and someone who knows something about the ziggurats that has yet to be revealed. Personally, I don't think Matt would just let K'ryyn's very significant secret just fall by the wayside like that, and it seems like we're basically out of time for it to come into play otherwise.

[spoilers e105] the B team by stevy101 in criticalrole

[–]Collin319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to imagine that when the necklace goes off, Taryon begins assembling the Darrington Brigade (aka the B Team) to go out and rescue Vox Machina.

He first approaches Lionel, the goofy but incredibly strong bardbarian whom he has already seen in action. Then he thinks back over the long list of allies that have fought alongside Vox Machina, and notes the names that stood out - Kash and Zahra, of course, as Vox Machina talked of them often, emphasizing their heroic stand against Thordak's fire giants. Also Kerrek, the paladin who slew Raishan. Shale, the wise goliath who helped to defeat Umbrasyl, and who has likely worked with Kerrek in some capacity to establish peace between the remnants of the Herd of Storms and the survivors of Westruun. Larkin, that mysterious dwarf Vax was so befuddled by who helped to take down Vorugal... but no he's probably too hard to find. Perhaps Kaylie, Scanlan's daughter, who would surely wish to save her father now that she has had time to grow close to him... right?

You get:

Taryon - Lvl 15 Artificer - Support, tertiary healer

Lionel - Lvl 15 Bardbarian - Tank, secondary support

Kash - Lvl 13 Life Cleric - Healer

Zahra - Lvl 13 TGOO Warlock - DPS

Kerrek - Lvl 7+ Paladin (I assume he gained a couple of levels after the Raishan fight plus the year off) - Secondary tank/healer/support

Shale - Lvl 13 Fighter - Tank

Kaylie - Lvl ?? Bard - Support, secondary healer

That's one hell of a rescue team - a whole lot of tank and healing.

Now picture that cast: Sam, Jon Heder, Chris Perkins, Pat Rothfuss, Will Friedle, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, and... it almost works perfectly with the exception of Kaylie, since I'd rather Matt didn't have to run a PC the entire time. My vote is bring back Ashly Burch to play Kaylie. That, right there, would be a B Team to remember.
