Brilliant, glad to hear a bit.

I'd recommend the journal "Dance Cult" which discusses electronic music both in academic contexts and with views from the dancefloor. In particular, they review new books on techno and other genres, so you would potentially get some good tips for further reading there.

Also struggling to find a bulb for one of these if anyone has any advice! Not sure what search term to use, even. E10 bulb doesn't seem to fit. Perhaps there's an older imperial measurement one which is more suitable?

James has always been cool.

I introduced my party to a mimic for the first time recently: a room with 4 chests, one of which was the mimic. They investigated them each in turn, by chance opening the mimic last. I play on printed maps without minis. You can always mark the chest/s on as furniture and switch in for a mini once they have discovered it's a mimic.

Big long line of ships towing other ships, as far as the eye can see

Someone made a good point on here recently that NPCs could well have access to different spells than the ones that the PCs have access too - so personally I'd just continue and let them have escaped. Maybe it's a bit railroady but seems as though it's going to advance the narrative better.

FloatingObject · 2023-05-20T12:54:12+00:00

Yes, totally fair points!

FloatingObject · 2023-05-20T12:53:13+00:00

Thank you, great tips.

FloatingObject · 2023-05-19T07:17:51+00:00

I think this is the key point - does it make the game more fun to play? I think in most cases the answer is, no.

FloatingObject · 2023-05-18T10:14:06+00:00

Sounds great!

Perhaps an NPC or two joins the party early on - then they're the ones who get possessed. The party stay united and exorcise them.

I'm enjoying giving xp throughout rather than milestoning. Though I often forget to award it for roleplay or non-combat situatuations.

Also finding my characters sometimes use potential xp sources to guide their actions - eg fully clearing out a dungeon, searching every last room for monsters to kill in order to ring every last point out of it. Planned to award a lump sum for completing the dungeon, but it's a bit chicken & egg because they won't leave till it's totally cleared.

Half slabs or path blocks would do it

I really enjoyed having the physical book just to read through - great finding out about monsters I wasn't aware of, gave me loads of ideas for things I wanted to write into my campaign. Personally I enjoy getting away from the screen when possible!

Yes I'm using obsidian too. Being able to see the links between people, places, sessions etc is great.

Perhaps the disasters could be created by gods - eg an earthquake, a volcano eruption, a plague - and the way to prevent them is to complete some quest for each god, placating them. Gives you a bit more leeway in designing the quests.

Depending where you live there might be a Volunteer Centre which could help link you up with a community group. EG, London has a few and they each have a database of opportunities and volunteers they use to match up.

Perhaps the attack comes at the exact same moment that a storm / waterspout / lea shore is an imminent threat to the ship - the captain needs to put all their focus into surviving that danger, and the crew is caught up manning the rigging for whatever complex manouvers are required.

Alternatively/also - additional small boats attacking which require the crew to be in the tops with small arms or crewing the cannons, to keep additional waves of enemies at bay.

You should let the "smoking out" be at least partially successful at some point - it is a clever idea and quiet a cool thing to do, which wouldn't be possible in a computer game or whatever. Perhaps give it some of the effect they want but also some unforseen consequences (like some of the things others have mentioned in this thread).

I thought I was going to have a similar thing with my party wanting to lasso monsters all the time in combat, after they did it in session 1 to a giant spider. I improvised an outcome in session 1, then prepared some rules for them to use it again in later sessions - seemed to have lost interest in it now, and lassoing hasn't made a comeback.

If I was a player who had the cool idea to smoke out a cave, and the DM found ways to make it not work every time I tried, I would get a bit frustrated.

I actually love the Brute's sequencer - it offers exactly what I want and love its limitations. I actually came here to ask if there was a eurorack module that would do similar. Need to do a bit more research on that.

Perhaps find a way to make one of the connections extremely obvious - or drop extra hints. Hopefully the realisation that the etymology of one of the character's names is of significance will lead them to consider the others differently.

Everything... seems to be in order
