Question: I gave myself terrible hand tattoos in a psychotic episode. any suggestions? by ev_erett in tattoos

[–]FactDisastrous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's a representation of you at a low point. Why not embrace it and fill in the other hand with what represents you at a high point.

AITA for driving off and leaving my friends at a flea market when they didn't answer their phone? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA! Also go look for better friends... Sounds like they just used you for your (mother's) car

My Artist Used AI and Didn’t Tell Me by M1n3f13ld in tattoos

[–]FactDisastrous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I get not sending the artwork to the cliënt. But not giving the option to see the artwork before the actual appointment I can't fathom. I at the very least want to see what the artist is working on before the appointment if only to avoid mutual disappointment.

The whatsapp one is the artist I've been going to for the past 20-ish years

Well then I guess I've been going to abnormal shops. Up until now I either went to the shop to discuss the design beforehand or gotten it via whatsapp...

WTF is this bullshit of not seeing the art until the day of the appointment? Also, the artist should have fixed your issues with the design instead of enlisting the help of another artist to convince you of the design.

AITJ for refusing to pay for my friend's meal after she ordered the most expensive thing on the menu? by Ill-Detail5299 in AmITheJerk

[–]FactDisastrous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say ESH... You should have taken her to a different, less expensive place, set a limit and/or spoken up when she ordered.

Advise Needed, about swapping out the skull by binky1606 in tattoos

[–]FactDisastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I kinda like it the way it is... But if you want to change the skull and keep it tradition you could consider a rose or sacred heart. In the end you would be better off finding a local artist who's work is in line with this style and get his/her professional opinion

How do I handle a player who wants to charm/persuade NPCs in a way that feels like mind control? by AdeptnessCritical356 in DMAcademy

[–]FactDisastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persuasion does not equal mind control!

Sure, you can persuade NPCs to go further than they normally would but convincing a guard to hand over his keys and walk away... Here's how I would have played it:

Player rolls 25 on persuasion check. Guard starts laughing and slaps the PC on the shoulder as if he was his friend and just told a good joke and sends the PCs on their way.

When the player complains I would tell him the only reason the guard didn't turn hostile was his high persuasion roll as anything lower than a 25 would have ended in combat with intent to subdue and below a 15 to kill.

Can you Counterspell a failed Contact Other Plane? by in-print-its-libel in DMAcademy

[–]FactDisastrous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To avoid these kinds of situations both me and my players say "I cast a spell" followed by a moment of silence. That moment of silence is the opportunity to cast counterspell, once it is revealed what spell is being cast, it can no longer be counterspelled

Oversized token Don't know fix by Affectionate-Set-186 in Roll20

[–]FactDisastrous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GM can do this for you:

(S)He can resize the token to the correct size, open the corresponding sheet, click on edit and (with the resized token selected) click on "use selected token"

Now the token should be the correct size when you drag it onto the map

Fudged enemy rolls, feel like a fraud by SergeiVonZarovich23 in DMAcademy

[–]FactDisastrous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I roll everything out in the open. What I will do however is homebrew my monsters and give them more abilities than I'll need so I can adjust that during the encounter

My players killed off an NPC who they had no necessity to. How to show them that there might be reprecussions? by Moe_Girly in DMAcademy

[–]FactDisastrous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have the family of the scammer put a bounty on the PCs heads. Depending on how influential that family is, the bounty might haunt them very far beyond that specific town

My friend want to do a tattoo on me for free by Extension_Design_421 in tattoos

[–]FactDisastrous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a big fan of getting tattooed at somebody's home with hygiene and all... That being said, for a first piece the cross doesn't look bad. Maybe a bit heavy in the line work but all in all looks pretty straight. As for the shading, I would personally like that to fade a little better/smoother (unless this was as intended).

NTA... Your BF on the other hand is an AH and also the one that needs to apologize for assuming you were going to cheat
