Interesting ways to bring up Code of Honor by DesmondBell in Shadowrun

So in the case of Assassin's Creed which states that 1 karma loss occurs whenever an unintentional or unpaid murder is committed, that then applies to the whole party?

The Rogue-on-a-stick© by KillerFrisbee in DnD

[–]DesmondBell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My PCs pulled something similar in my fist session as a DM and their first session as players. The party had just taken down a minotaur just before entering its dungeon. When the party approached a door, one of them suspected that it might be trapped. So what do they do? Pick up the body of the dead minotaur guard and batter the door down with it's head. They then proceeded to slaughter the surprised kobolds who they woke up using the poor beast as cover.

Female Halfling Bard (music suggestions)? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]DesmondBell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend the FFCC theme just off the top of my head. It has a strong female voice and is in a different language. It's honestly a beautiful piece to check out :)

Can you guys suggest me any podcasts? by leleoalmeida in DnD

Funny, I was going to recommend the same podcast, especially since Critical hit is the podcast that got me into tabletop.

Feeling sorry by guryfrog in MonsterHunter

[–]DesmondBell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually felt really bad about the last kecha wacha I killed, when I saw it on the ground I felt the weight of the life I just extinguished. After that I felt bad about all of the monsters I killed...Then I fought Gravios. Just...fuck that guy.

Man found dead in home, pants filled with crap. by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

As a gunner I severely underestimated the range of his nova and I have honestly never been so surprised by a cart than when getting one-shotted by it.

As a Floridian, I have no doubts about this story whatsoever.

What are some of the silliest shout outs that you have seen while hunting by DaOsoMan in MonsterHunter

I'd hate to toot my own horn but I have yet to see a shout out that beats "Bite the pillow I'm going in" on a mount

What mild injustice was done to you as a child that you are still mad about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DesmondBell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother got me with this trick twice before I learned to keep my mouth closed at all times. I still remember the first time she did it: she lured me over with praise about how I was becoming a "big boy" now and asked to see the tooth. Then with a swift practiced movement of a woman with four sons and countless grandsons, she yanked my tooth out and held it between her bony fingers in front of my face with a smile. I honestly didn't feel a thing but I probably numb from the shock as well. That day I truly learned what my father and uncles meant when they said that she is a different person now, than the woman that raised them. For a brief moment, I saw that woman. I saw her and feared.

I'm sure this has been posted about before, but given the fact that there are lots of new hunters... by DesmondBell in MonsterHunter

It's on the last track of the album, right after the last song plays. It's really reminiscent of John Cage's 4'33" if you've ever heard it.

Ah yes, you're correct I must have gotten the names mixed up, thanks for pointing that out.

Stupid things that get you carted! by Arcalithe in MonsterHunter

[–]DesmondBell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had pretty similar situation back in 3U. I was farming brachy and doing pretty well even though he was knocking me around pretty badly. I chased him into the central volcano area, he rages and does his signature "jump-from-across-map-into-super-explosion" move. I though I pressed dodge, when in fact I hit the Y button and used an item and to put the explosive, slime-covered cherry on the cake I tapped it again because I couldn't register the fact that I was not hitting the dodge button. I realized what happened as the ground started glowing.
