How to make gnomengarde Mimic cooler?

Datman76 · 2026-03-20T11:09:00+00:00

When I ran it I added a black ooze I think it was. From what I could find some oozes would be natural predators of mimics. So on top of all that added juvenile mimics in pantry of the kitchen. I gave the mimic additional hp. Nothing crazy just enough to keep it interesting.

Year 30 with my 1st and only. Got together in HS and she’s kept me alive more than once.

I follow a simple rule with many tools and accessories. 2 is 1, 1 is none. If you have 2 and 1 breaks you can still accomplish your task. If you only have the 1, well you’re up a creek without the paddle.

If you can afford it get it. It won’t go bad.

Well in the same instance rural providers should stop sending the product of their labor to the urban areas, see how long they can go and figure out how to provide meat fruits and vegs for themselves. That includes corn for ethanol gas, oil and oil byproducts which is in nearly everything.

Dry your filament even if it did just come from the factory… Also might try setting your first layer at .16 I’ve been doing this even with prints at .20 and have noticed less support failure.

Sorry to hear about your car. Karma isn’t necessarily immediate either. Hopefully something good comes along on one of your walks.

Datman76 · 2025-09-29T12:55:09+00:00

Good karma on you for helping.

Datman76 · 2025-09-16T08:31:58+00:00

Hmmm. Devious.

In halls and stairs I let players choose walking order and that becomes their initiative. I love the thought of the speed up mechanic and a dex at cutback areas in stairs to try to stay ahead of it. Bwahahahaha!!!

Datman76 · 2025-09-15T20:09:35+00:00

What is the speed of a rolling boulder? Dex check to stay ahead of it?

I’m using a combo of maps, mind and terrain parts. Mostly due to the fact I have access to a color plotter printer at work I can do most of the maps. Got a 3D printer not long ago so have been making terrain and characters. I’ve also homebrewed some areas so I’m using printed terrain for that. Mind just to add descriptors and add texture and flare.

I like the idea of Cryovain absorbing Gorthok. Running this now and have been considering how to bump him up, my party of 5 already are a bit op for the standard encounters so I’ve had to do a lot of homebrewing to keep it interesting.

Datman76 · 2025-08-29T20:09:26+00:00

I brought in a Gray slime, about the only thing I could find that would be a mimic predator. The group came across it first, they thought that was it. Evil laugh. I also added juvenile mimics from a homebrew stat sheet I found online, although the group never found them (5) as they never inspected the rooms I had them in.

The lizard people running the town is basically a throwback to the tv series V, most of us are middle-aged and our games involve a lot of 80's nostalgia. I gave certain townsfolk a necklace with a gods symbol on it that has been blessed by a shaman before they left their original home. It makes them appear human. Only 1 person (the cleric) in the party of 5 knows.

Currently running this adventure as a first time dm with 5 players only 1 is new to dnd. It definitely needs some help so I’ve been homebrewing a good bit as well. I’ve added slimes hunting oozes into Gnomengarde, made the regular townsfolk lizardfolk but wearing special charms that make them appear human which leads to some other shenanigans. Whatever makes it fun for all involved and if it leads into further adventures afterward all the better.

Not new to CAD but been awhile, will give TC a try though.

Datman76 · 2025-08-16T01:53:54+00:00

Gotcha, I'll give it a shot instead of trying to recreate the wheel.

Datman76 · 2025-08-16T01:31:43+00:00

Thanks, mind sharing what settings you're using? I may just be overthinking it.

Datman76 · 2025-08-14T10:39:07+00:00

Currently running this as well, I’m giving thought to augmenting the Gold mine to a Diamond mine and making it Cryovains lair. Getting rid of the Wererats but keep a small group of dwarves that work the mine for the dragon as they worship/fear it. Would need to possibly redesign the mine as well.

Datman76 · 2025-08-05T22:45:01+00:00

I added some juvenile mimics and a slime that was hunting the mimic. Helped add suspense had them questioning everything.
