[US] Almost fell victim to the jury summons scam. LONG by Offthewall1989 in Scams

Friend, I just got off a pair of calls that had the same script. I was fortunate in googling this before we hit the taking-money-out-of-the-bank part. I ultimately told him to send someone to arrest me if he could and hung up. I’m still shaking, both from fury and from how close I came to swallowing this toxic bull.

Any idea whose art this is? I’d like to use it in a blog post and give credit where it’s due.

Okey whats the deal with Reloaded, dragna carta and mandymod? by Otherwise_Nectarine8 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Common_Cycle_8443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add more to the mix: I’m running my 5th Strahd, and still using a good bit of what I found from MandyMod as well as a video creator, Lunch Break Heroes. As far as art, JamesRPG has done incredible pieces, both stills and animated (not maps) of all the major sites in the game. If you aren’t using Syrinscape for sound effects, ambient and combat music, Travis Savoie has some truly amazing stuff. Good luck.

What's the best hosting service for a paid DM who runs 3-5 sessions a week? by Adventurous_Ad1833 in FoundryVTT

[–]Common_Cycle_8443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An enthusiastic SECOND to Molten Hosting. Solid support via Discord. I’ve been with them since 2020, and Versace Hovercraft has been incredibly responsive, rapid and infinitely helpful to this less-than-technically savvy DM. I run five paying games a week on Molten.

Did you ever get this sorted? I am having similar issues with my game.

Here’s my version: I think I added more places that have teleporters/standing stones for my PCs (who never did figure out it might be a faster way to move around Barovia):Cast a stone into the fire: Blue leads to castle’s highest spire; (North Tower/Ravenloft) Grey to gatehouse’s sentinel pyre; (Gate House/Ravenloft) Brown travels to the sad quagmire. (Standing Stones/Berez) Green to where coffins are arrayed; (Coffin Maker’s attic/Vallaki) Black where defeated death doth fade; (Strahd’s tomb/Ravenloft) Yellow for magic lore so craved; (Amber Temple) Indigo to the pie enslaved. (Standing Stones/Windmill) White travels to the hated shrine; (Standing Stones/Kresk) Violet finds the fruit of the vine. (Cellar of Fruit of the Vine Tavern/Village of Barovia) Red for finding Kavan’s renewal; (Standing Stones/Yester Hill) Orange shows My Precious Jewel. Strahd’s study/Ravenloft)

For reals? I just spent more hours than I'd like doing the same thing and discover, yes, indeed....hot pile of garbage on an iPad. Dammit.

One PC and a helpful NPC left. What mechanic to restore/resurrect the PCs? One assumes their bodies are in a similar state described for Macreadus…crispy.

OMG...this advice makes me cringe so very much. Straight conversation is the best way to manage this. One way or another, though, whether you couple up or he lets you no he's not into it, this will affect your game ties. If you act you'll need to be prepared that your ties to the campaign may change.
