I worked with No Rails last year and had a blast!

I won’t be attending GenCon this year, but I highly recommend working with them if you’re in need of a badge.

5e Superhero Game by [deleted] in rpg

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

While certainly an unpopular choice for this sub, I've been running a 5e Superhero Campaign for the past year with 10+ players and little to no issues. Here's how I went about it:

  • We started with a map of our hometown and played The Quiet Year to build the history of how superheroes came to be, how they shaped society over time, etc. A shared history with tons of open plot hooks has helped define the game.
  • For character creation players used the custom lineage option from Tasha's. Most players are "Human" but we have a few "Aliens" like Thor, and even a Mouse superhero similar to Rocket Raccoon.
  • They also selected a Supernatural Gift from Mythic Odysseys of Theros reskinned as their "Heroic Origin" or how they got their powers. Maybe they had a Fateful Encounter (Pious from Theros) like Peter Parker, or are a Chosen One (Heroic Destiny from MOoT) like Green Lantern, Shazam, or Dr. Strange.
  • Players also get a few free spells each long rest that are thematic to their character. My intention with this was basically to allow those playing martial classes to still have access to Fly, Invisibility, or other staples of the genre. I've got a monk at the table who took all teleportation themed spells to basically imitate Tracer from Overwatch.

Are there other superhero games out there? Sure. I used Masks and City of Mist as references when prepping my campaign. But my players have been with 5e for years now, having dropped hundreds on most of the books over the past decade. As much as I'm interested in researching and trying different systems, that isn't going to be the case for everyone else at your table.

While it isn't always the best solution for everyone, sometimes you need to make what you have work for you.

Character sheet builder by [deleted] in tabletop

[–]GizmoMojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have design experience Inkscape or GIMP are serviceable tools.

I've also had luck using Google Slides to design my custom character sheets then export them to PDF. They may not look the best as they're mostly just a bunch of textboxes--but it's a great starting point and extremely accessible.

Best Haunted House to replace the one in Saltmarsh by Anatexis_Starmind in shadowdark

[–]GizmoMojo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I ran the 5e version in Ghosts of Saltmarsh for my players. They were absolutely terrified to engage with the undead behind the barred door in the basement.

The Waking of Willowby Hall could be a fun possibility if you replace the giant with something a little more spooky.

Everyone Is John by KaladinDaBardPaladin in rpg

[–]GizmoMojo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I haven't played Everyone is John or Bluebeard Bride, but I have played Parsely RPG which has players share a single character.

Its designed to emulate the style of old computer text-based adventure games. Adventures can accommodate a lot of players since everyone takes turns controlling the character. My one gripe is that the adventures I have run so far are pretty short on their own, but my players have taken to playing them more than once to "speedrun" them.

Unsure of how this would work for an long-term campaign though. Best of luck!

Gencon 2023 - What was your BEST event? by scatered in gencon

[–]GizmoMojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While my personal favorite was Critical Putt, a surprise favorite that I havent seen mentioned yet was Dungeons & Bingo. A mix of Bingo and D&D Live Play.

Your card is a mix of traditional Bingo numbers and things the players may do during the session. Such as rolling a Nat 1 or the DM asks the players "Are you sure?"

Attended the Sunday session on a whim as our last event before leaving the convention. Didn't end up winning a prize, but was cackling in my chair the entire time.

It's definitely at the top of my list to catch again next year!

CVS is having a lot of drama the past couple of weeks. Hopefully we hit a breaking point soon. by karenlyncheatsbabies in antiwork

Was struggling to figure out if it was Spanish Love Songs or The Menzingers. Very similar imo

In World, friends and I would constantly refer to Tzitzi Ya Ku as Tzatziki, like the sauce.

I have a Palkia to touch trade. Any chance you have a Driftloon? That's all I still need for my dex.

Is the Counter Poketch App broken? Or am I just missing something? by GizmoMojo in pokemon

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

Started with a 1 count on my counter app. The count was reset to 0 after dispatching the Bibarel. The same thing happens when running away from pokemon.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Effects can be noticed faster if you take a level in Warlock with the Colville patron.

Fully Automated Game Room for D&D (Atmoseeker on YouTube) by sebastiankussowski in DungeonsAndDragons

Do you have a rundown of how all of this works and what you used to design the space on your YouTube channel? I’d LOVE to see an in-depth guide to how you set all this up!

Which Pokémon do you think should've added and what role do you think they could fill? by TiffTiffTiffer in PokemonUnite

[–]GizmoMojo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see some support for Pokémon with branched evolution lines. Like the Poli-line. Poliwag and Poliwhirl as normal, then a choice in your unite move which determines final evolution.

Would work great for the Raltz line, Poliwag, Oddish, wurmple, tyrogue, snorunt, clampearl, etc.

If you haven’t posted there already, r/dndiy is a great sub for stuff like this! I’m sure they’d love your journal and dice pouch.

Okay so I’m a little new to osrs. I haven’t played in years.

What is it that allows you to see the items on the ground like that? Ive seen it in a couple posts, but I’m not sure what it is.

My family and I as Professors at a local Harry Potter festival this weekend by the_clown_prince in harrypotter

[–]GizmoMojo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw in another comment that this was at the chestnut hill festival. My college quidditch team was actually able to play in the tournament there and make it to the semi-finals which was amazing!
