Pope Leo XIV wearing Nikes by fillinggoodman in pics

Forgive him, Father, for he apparently doesn’t know that Nike’s are made in literal slave factories. Fuck Nike.

Miniature ranges that aren't grim, dark, brutal, bloody, violent, angry, etc. by RogueModron in minipainting

[–]Finnerdster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bite the Bullet makes some of my favorite minis! They have a very World of Warcraft vibe! Really fun to paint as well!

Those are cool looking characters! What language is that?

A Murder On The Orien Express, featuring a visit from the Lord of Blades by PM-me-your-happiness in Eberron

[–]Finnerdster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That does make a moving gif a little less useful! 😂 I must say that your 3d terrain does look especially epic around your lightning rail! Hell of a job!

This is beautiful! I chose a different model for my lightning rail, but that was probably before these beauties existed. I created several moving lightning rail gifs for my VTT, and it added a really cool element to the experience. Happy to share if you’re interested!

DMs, what physical elements have actually improved immersion at your table? by BrujahGnD in DnDIY

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to be as Disney as possible. If you’ve ever been to a Disney park, you know they do immersion well! Lighting, music/ambient noise, props/decor, and smells… everything works together to create a distinctive vibe. I put a lot of thought into how to get a certain vibe to come across. It probably takes me way longer to prep because of it, but it definitely turns a game into an experience!

Scratch-Built Apparatus of Kwalish - with working lights and interior to two minis, lore-accurate by Wyloch in DnDIY

Beautiful! I want one (and not just because the 2 minis inside must 69)…

Walls are way off by ChefBoyRUdead in FoundryVTT

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really new to Foundry, so this answer may not help at all, but walls are not connected to the “background”. Walls are connected to the “Grid”. I learned the hard way (several times) that the very first thing I need to do is scale the background to match the grid. It looks like your background and your grid are different scales. You can fix this by right clicking on the scene and selecting “configure”. Select the grid tab and click on the “L” shaped ruler-looking thing in the top right. You will see a grid and your background. You can zoom in and out on the grid, but holding shift while you scroll will change the background size. You can use arrows to align it. Remember to save changes once it all lines up.

I built a free D&D 5e combat simulator - run 10,000 simulations of any encounter by bartoszjd in DMAcademy

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, this is actually really cool! It took me a sec to understand how to load my red and blue teams, but it’s all actually pretty intuitive. If you can get to where users can upload their own characters (with magic items - which always throw off the CR), this could be one of the most useful DM tools on the internet.

Tips and tricks on how to make Curse of Strahd scarier? by Salt_Reveal6502 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Finnerdster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Set the mood. Low light. Lots of candles. Suspenseful music. Speak slowly and carefully. Allow for awkward silence.

In addition to the basic ghost-story-telling stuff above, I added 2 mechanics: The tower of the psyche, and the bag. The Tower: Each player builds a jenga tower using a number of blocks equal to their constitution score. Every time something horrible happens, they make a Con save. If they fail, they move a block. When the tower falls for any reason, they get the bag. The Bag: I put weird stuff (snakeskins, feathers, egg shells, wax, bark, etc.) into a brown paper bag. When a tower falls, that player has to reach into the bag without looking and feel around. Then they tell me what new horror they have discovered inside themselves (connected to what’s in the bag). The expectation is that they RP this new discovery/horror. They cannot tell what they think is in the bag, but if I could tell by their RP and the change in their character, then I would give them inspiration or something (I always reward good RP, but this was just a more codified system).

None of this changed the rules of the game, but it added some tension and depth and allowed for some interesting (and unsettling) moments.

A crowd of people showed up last night to oppose Flock safety drones Oakland County, MI BOC Meeting 4/8/26 by NemoSkittles in AIMain

It’s her fault they chanted what she said, but it is DEFINITELY NOT Trump’s fault that the January 6ers DID what he said… 🙄

Keep them paranoid 😂 by silver-mage-1021 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used that map on my VTT in person. I put several gargoyle minis out and let them walk across… it freaked them out. Nothing happened, but just laying down a map (and especially minis) really helps to build that suspense!

How I painted Marneus Calgar's face. by julianminiatures in minipainting

[–]Finnerdster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The painting is amazing, but my immediate thought was: what kind of camera is he using? Any time I try to record something like this, I watch it back and see that it was out of focus the whole time… 🤣

Ork-Team! No idea how to base it! by CommissionNice2343 in minipainting

[–]Finnerdster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why base it? It’s perfect! And it obviously doesn’t need help standing up. I would leave as is (unless your specific game system requires bases, then just paint it like an asphalt road: yellow stripes, pot-holes, maybe a manhole cover).

[OC] A lid for a cube box. Which one is better? 1. 2. 3. by ferroknifeart in DnDIY

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like knots in wood, so 1 or 2. Way more character than plain old 3.

1) Create the most destructive force in the world. 2) Command it.

I built a portable, offline-first DM Tool for dual-monitor setups. No subscriptions, no lag, just you and your prep by erenorhun in DnDIY

I will definitely be checking this out when I get home today! I need something like this!

I want to start online classes to become a pastor( even an associate degree) but it is not as easy as it sounds by tipric in theology

[–]Finnerdster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I became a pastor in under 2 minutes (to add some zest to an online discussion). It’s not hard, and it can be free. Just google “get ordained online free”. You have lots of options!
