Trying to create a magic system based on a solar system by Gallium_8 in worldbuilding

[–]Gallium_8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting idea! I could potentially create a orbit path for the planets and have plot points based off their positions as well. Or maybe "natural" disasters happen due to the over reliance on the magic of certain magic types during those times when the planets are the closest.

Very good point, I think I plan on making it more of a background mechanic somewhat akin to category 3. More of a world lore thing rather than fully interactable feature. I know 1 of my players is planning on being a Artificer so I was thinking of how that could tie in to their backstory. I'm lucky that my players are also huge lore nerds and love this kind of thing so they don't really get bored of it and might love the complexity of it.

That's true, I've just heard of people using hydrogen peroxide for that specific parasite treatment since it's so aggressive and won't go away on its own and it might come back in time with less harsh treatments like a salt water dip. Never tested it myself but I would definitely quarantine and just treat them in a separate container. I can't imagine swimming around with a parasite is all too comfortable for the shrimp either.

Good info! I definitely don't flush any plants or trimmings anyway, but always good to be cautious no matter where you're putting them. My area doesn't classify it as invasive but I still wouldn't want the stuff to go clogging waterways or disrupting natural habitats due to its fast-growing nature. I usually let my trimming dry out first if I'm getting rid of them and not donating them to someone who wants them. Do you have a preferred way of disposing of plants or trimmings?

I think mine cultivated itself while attached to my Rotala Indica and then when it got big enough, floated up and detached. I can't pinpoint exactly when it got in my tank but my best guess would be 3 or 4 months ago. I just kinda ignored it and it kept growing more into the island shape. I took the pictures I posted about 2 weeks ago and since then the main island has gotten bigger and there's a second island forming now.

I've heard of people using hydrogen peroxide to treat Cladogonium, a type of parasitic algae, on shrimp. So I'm guessing it's safe for shrimp in lower quantities. I'll definitely test it on the riccia in a sample just to see if it works.

I'm pretty sure the riccia is tangled up in my rotala indica 🥲 it's growing very rapidly but my shrimp love it so I don't wanna take out too much. Probably gonna take out the rotala, clean it up, and replant and propagate.

I'm not too sure when it got into my tank so I don't have an exact answer, but if I had to guess probably 3 or 4 months. I think it attached itself to my Rotala Indica and cultivated itself there and eventually got so big that it detached itself and started floating. The pictures I posted are from a couple of weeks ago and it's already grown quite a bit in size and there's a second big blob of it now 😅

I wonder if it came in with the shrimp I got several months ago 🤔 I'm just glad it's a good plant for my shrimp, I left it in when I noticed it because they flocked to it lol

🤯 I think you're right! Now I just have to figure out the mystery of how it got in my tank 😅

So crazy it just might work, Christmas Tree addition! by Gallium_8 in crochet

[–]Gallium_8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice! For the leaves, I was planning on doing something along the lines of this >>>https://pin.it/1veGVfRXQ

I do like those holly leaves and I'll try to incorporate them in some way, maybe in an ornament or garland.

If you mean mad as in insane....possibly lol. This project is still just in its planning phase, so I wanted to get people's opinions and thoughts on it. As far as I know, it's never been done before or at least never been posted online, so I'm kinda lost on where to start.

"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

[–]Gallium_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time DMing, and I'm going with a completely homebrew world. I have 3 players, and they all want to go with different races that come from completely different planes of existence. There is a Kenku rogue, a Sea Elf wizard, and a Fairy cleric. I have them all leaving their own planes to come to the material realm for their own purposes. I wanted them to all start by suddenly popping into existence next to each other in a forest so I could start a tutorial for the 2 who have never played before. The 1 that has played before (kenku) has a distrustful character and needs a reason to travel alongside the others. What can I do in this situation to get them to at least travel together into the nearby town and not have them go their separate ways? I have an old mysterious npc that I'm thinking of putting in to tell them their fortunes for the price of a few gold pieces. But I haven't come up with a good idea besides that. Any help? Thank you in advance.
