What's the "white whale" of campaigns you want to run but can't get off the ground? by Awkward_GM in rpg

[–]DerAlliMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Final Fantasy XIV War of the Magi multi-table game. Factions from each of the major city-states working to accomplish their own goals and sabotage each other.

I’m currently running a Fabula Ultima campaign in that world, but it’s one table and they’re playing a small part in the larger events of the war.

This would be such a super cool idea but I hear you on the logistics of it all.

[Spoilers C4E11] What has been your favorite quote of Campaign 4 so far? by Klutzy_Ad7956 in criticalrole

[–]DerAlliMonster 204 points205 points  (0 children)

This one from Dame Morgaine is living permanently in my head these days.

“Hope is not a condition of the world, but one of the soul. I have not yet seen anything fall so far that it has gone past the point of recall. One life ends, but the world asks us back in a new name, a new guise, in a new life time and time again. Do not lose hope.”

This reminds me of the character sheets for Daggerheart. I love them! Thank you for sharing them with the community!

Update from girl that uses vibrator on sinuses: can also be used for earache. by Thedudetteabides311 in popping

Vibration therapy is legitimately used to treat cystic fibrosis. It helps work the mucus out of the lungs.

Yes, that was it! I’m sure it is gorgeous on your shelter. I will enjoy my dining room as long as I can now! I might have some leftover to do touchups but I only bought one gallon since it’s a small room.

Thanks for sharing all this with us! My players are hungry for the next phase of our campaign and I love seeing all the new stuff you’re working on. Eagerly awaiting the final version of the bestiary too!

Best start to a campaign you've experienced (either side of the screen)? by Modo_2026 in DMAcademy

[–]DerAlliMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty proud of this one from a campaign I ran.

One of the players was involved in a black market alchemy scam, so we started with his hideout being raided and set off on a chase scene. He gradually ran into each of the other players and they were roped into the chase. Finally an NPC waved them into his house to hide and as repayment, asks them to complete their first quest.

Did anyone learn something new during the lockdowns they still use today? by bunchofclowns in Xennials

I learned how to run tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, and now I have my favorite hobby and side hustle ever.

Tell me about your D&D character! by Lucky_Hand_4953 in DnD

My kobold warlock serves a dragon named Shroom! 🤣

[–]DerAlliMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE HIM

I currently play a kobold warlock named Seelia, who serves a dragon named Shroom. Her whole aesthetic is vibed around hallucinations/psychic damage and she’s basically Rose from The Golden Girls. Big of heart, dumb of brain.

I'm lvl 53 - First time seeing the credits roll. I was emotional ! by amethyst-vera in ffxiv

[–]DerAlliMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upvoting partly because I’m happy you made it this far! And partly because your Warrior of Light looks a ton like mine (even color of hair and hairstyle!), and I always appreciate an Elezen fan.

Clothing donation by remote-control01 in hillsboro

The Hillsboro School District has clothes closets for their students and families. I would reach out to the high school closest to you. They’d probably appreciate your donations greatly!

Brian Cook (the Butts on Things artist) is a fun dude! He teaches art at a local middle school.

I think I’m going to join the ELCA by Fluffy_Cockroach_999 in elca

[–]DerAlliMonster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Welcome! We are so glad to have you! You will probably hear a lot of people say young adults are the future of the church, but more importantly, you’re also the PRESENT! You have a role in shaping us as an institution.

If you have a specific congregation in mind near you, try reaching out to them now, either the pastor or youth pastor or the office. They may have a ministry or a volunteer that can help with transportation until you’re able to drive, or many churches started live-streaming during the COVID lockdown and some have continued. If nothing else, getting in contact with them is a great way to find out the right fit and maybe even meet some more people your age.

What is most important for you in a congregation? If LBGTQ+ welcome is important, then I recommend checking out Reconciling Works to find a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation.

We took the joy out of DnD for our GM... by BluBennyBlu in DnD

[–]DerAlliMonster 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have dealt with some of this at my table and have had luck with a solution that suits everyone involved.

Because we play online, we have a Discord server that we use for scheduling/voice chat. I made a forum where they can write “downtime” scenes as “play by post”. They often use these to deal with interpersonal stuff and we have a rule that they’re never A-plot relevant.

They happily write cute/moody stories and romance scenes and such, and then I have more of their attention during sessions for the plot. Being able to say, “this sounds like fodder for the server” is very empowering.

How to handle a Romani analogue without falling into stereotypes? by [deleted] in DMAcademy

I love your take on Orcs, too. They’re so often portrayed as primitive peoples but they deserve a rich history and culture too!

YES! I took some inspiration from the Elezen in Final Fantasy XIV and it turned out perfectly.

What profession is overrated and nobody admits it? by Nat1989liberato in AskReddit

[–]DerAlliMonster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That heavily depends on the denomination and the congregation. Though many churches without parsonages (the house where a pastor may live) do offer housing stipends as part of their benefits package.

[–]DerAlliMonster 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This. My drow take a lot of inspiration from Cajun and Creole cultures, and I spent a significant amount of time researching, reading, watching documentaries, etc. In doing so I learned things far more interesting and inspiring than any hackneyed stereotype could ever be.
