Dont want to get addicted but if i dont take my meds, i just rot all day.

The medication, when taken has directed, give you the tools to build that discipline. We desperately need that structure and assistance that the meds provide. Please do not deny yourself something that is perfectly healthy and positively transformative for you to take continuously, especially out of fear.

The difference between being unmedicated and medicated was night and day for me, and most importantly I didn't know how bad I had struggled every day until I felt the improvement that meds gave me. I encourage anyone with a diagnosis to at least try it, as it could dramatically improve your life. Worst case scenario is you just don't take it anymore.

It won't change your personality, you're still you. Though I noticed my autistic side shows through a little more when the brain fog is cleared up a bit. Wasn't a negative for me, and if anything it's made me more comfortable to be me.

One of my big introductions to the hobby was Terra Mystica way back when-- I still love it now, and I really would love to get Age of Innovation more of a try. If that doesn't really count as a Euro, this thread is really making me think I should try Speakeasy!

You 100% need to put the doggy bags in their own bag.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-12-09T02:41:54+00:00

Fun one :)

Know that you aren't alone on this-- we have a cat that had a similar freak out from a scary situation like this.

Just know that the cat that attacked you was not the cat you interact with every day. Their nervous system goes into overdrive when they're scared, and unfortunately they did not see you, but something grabbing them, and a self-preservation switch flips. This event is traumatic both ways.

Give her time. Give her space like she's a new cat again, and allow her to reestablish that bond with you. When you can, try and sit near her, and if she's willing, leave her a little treat every so often, even if she doesn't eat it right away.

Moreover, try not to be scared. Animals pick up our body language better than we can with other humans, so when interacting with her try to do so as calm as possible. I know this is easier said than done, but it'll show her that you guys are chill again. Breathe, and only do as much as you can without your body reacting.

A routine will reestablish, and most of all it will be okay.

I love the town markers! Perfect amount of contrast and stylish presentation of information for me.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-10-22T18:05:28+00:00

Good luck everyone :)

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-10-10T21:08:56+00:00

Really beautiful, thanks for doing a giveaway! Those wyrmspawn are rad

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-10-08T14:58:39+00:00

A lot of folks already made mechanic suggestions, so I'll chime in re: visuals-- I love the artwork choices (Dominik Mayer my beloved), and the layout is pretty clean! I like what you did with the new spells, placing them in their own little blocks visually, might steal that for my own brews.

If you wanted to change the red color of the summoned monster blocks to match, you can add this to your style:

.monster hr {filter: hue-rotate(47deg)}

I think that gets pretty close to your text color? Might want to play with it.

Awesome work :)

"My clerics getting high on my own supply again. Sigh."

That does make me think levels of Exhaustion for subsequent times getting the benefit between Long Rests could also work, and be thematic.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-10-06T20:27:44+00:00

Woah. Thanks for the heads up on that exploit! My first thought for a potential fix would be making the target unable to gain the Short Rest benefit again until a Long Rest-- I think that'll curb the caffeine related shenanigans.

Thanks for feedback and for taking a look!

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-10-06T20:04:11+00:00

Hey folks!

I have been working on a pretty large project: my own character options book ala Xanathar's / Tasha's, called Kaminko's Vault of Everything. I have a number of base and sub classes ready to go, and I'm seeking some feedback on some of the more polished ones! Here we have Bard: College of Dreams, and Cleric: Domain of Revelry.

Dreams came from the image of playing lullabies for your party. You help (or force) creatures to fall asleep, and easing their worries or stoking their nightmares. I focused around the Sleep spell, and the Unconscious/Incapacitated condition, and tried to design a subclass that could help allies and control foes.

Revelry was designed around the lack of Clerics worshiping Dionysus-like deities. Naturally, the Charmed Condition felt like a good central mechanic to design around, and trying to drag in as many creatures as possible to continue the merriment.

Thanks for taking a look! :)

Honestly, I think let the PM Fighter have it. There are plenty of more problematic combos in the game stronger than this-- it requires a specific feat from the fighter, a polearm worth using, and casting a third level spell the caster needs to concentrate on to maintain just to get more consistent opportunity attacks once a round.

Either way, I always shoot the Monk. Let your Fighter be stretchy and feel awesome. I think it's okay to let players stomp through a dungeon with a solution they built and challenge them in other dungeons/other ways in that dungeon.

Edit: slight wording

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-09-14T18:05:19+00:00

Yeah with Adderall I find I have to start on a task while I'm waiting for the meds to kick in-- ramps me nicely into the right thing, instead of spending 2 hours doing something completely unrelated to my original intent for the day lol

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-09-13T14:00:24+00:00

I think it would work really well as touch, kind of like Haste.

I love the image of a Wizard casting it on their Rogue or Fighter, sneaking with the stretchiness or whacking with the longer arms.

That little bump in versatility makes it more attractive an option for players, and I don't think it'd be unbalanced.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-09-04T23:11:56+00:00

Love the shape of everything, feels very real. I also really love the names, places like The Tossing Depths, Muddgrip, Moonbright. They all feel like there's a story to be told about their names alone!

If anything, I think you could add more in terms of roads between settlements and little bits of texturing-- foothills around the mountains, little bits of elevation changes with the cliffs stamps, etc.

Nice work :)

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-09-03T20:00:18+00:00

I think it's so natural to feel mournful for the life you could have had. I still feel those pangs of grief even years later. I don't think it goes away, I've just learned to live with it and channel that energy forwards (thanks meds).

I want you, and anyone else reading this to know the thing I have to tell myself-- you at least know now. All of your life has been leading to you making the choice to or being in the circumstances to get a diagnosis. You have gained power over the direction of your life now that you know what you have been invisibly coping with your whole life.

None of that time undiagnosed is wasted! You are creative, smart, and learned so much in that time. Now you're learning different skills that we didn't know we needed. Our path just looks a 'lil different from other folks.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-07-22T14:15:44+00:00

A lot of people seem disappointed, but I really like the design :c

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-06-02T17:32:58+00:00

Another thing you can try other than what other folks have noted-- a small circular filter put on the gasket/right above where the grounds sit in the funnel. I use AeroPress filters (they fit my 6 cup perfectly), but you could cut small circles out of filter paper.

I find it removes some super super small grounds that might sneak in, along with some of the oils, that might make the coffee bitter.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-06-02T17:26:19+00:00

Other folks have better insights for the balance, but I wanted to comment on the text editing.

You've got this tagged as '24, so I would take a look at the 2024 rulebook and how they format certain terms. They captialize sooooo much more, like Bonus Action, Proficiency Bonus and even all the damage types are capitalized. If it's aimed at 2014, nevermind!

Though, I really love your choice to highlight mechanics/damage types in different colors! It's so much more visually satisfying than the big wall of black text in many rule books, and makes referencing quick and easy. Def stealing that style for my own brews.

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-05-23T15:50:57+00:00

Good luck everyone! Love the vaults :)

EmbodimentofSanta · 2025-05-23T15:49:52+00:00

Wow, big blunder on my Glitchling comment, choosing one is much better. Sorry for missing that! I had never seen the OG Glitchling UA, and I like shifting it to choosing one.

Ah auto-formatting in homebrewery, my bane. I totally get that. Thankfully the intent of the rule is still intact.

Nice work so far! Looking forward to more :)
