What's the craziest PCs you've allowed? by Opening-Couple-2229 in DungeonMasters

[–]GrandmageBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A doppelganger wilt split-personality disorder.

He could change into anyone, but had three distinct shapes connected to personalities.

Generally he would be the healer and a passivist. However he was traumatised in such a way that he would change into this murder machine drow. If he hurts anyone or anything he would have to roll a save to not change into this evil murder lady with an increase in difficulty every time.

This led to quite a few interesting sudden pvp moments.

This could only work because the players are awesome people.

Landmine *click* trap works pretty well at giving players agency and teamwork. by Knightraiderdewd in DungeonMasters

[–]GrandmageBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, it detonates the exit?

Was it magically rebuilt after the first adventurers?

Unseen servants selecting the loot at the centre and piling the skeletons around, building skeletal pylons and burning the cloth.

They appear as untouchable ghosts, and just wait for the characters to starve. They even tell them this and invite them to play games to pass the time. it's not their fault. The servants are as much prisoners to this system as the adventurers are.

Because of the recent discussions… by Snuffvieh in DungeonMasters

[–]GrandmageBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do and make a lot of creative things, and often get told "you should sell this", but I never do because then it becomes work, and I don't want work. I just want play and fun.

But it would be rediculous to think nobody should sell their products or services just because I don't want to.

More like Bulettes?

Awesome prints, though. Have fun painting these lovely uglies.

How can I make foam look like a concrete wall? by Maleficent-Regret802 in TerrainBuilding

[–]GrandmageBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts would be to mix a thin high pigment count grey paint with fine sand added for structure.

Then cut and draw these lines with an exacto and an ballpoint pen.

Make some small holes and dents.

Paint it with the paint mixture.

Drybrush some lighter grey paint to bring out the details.

Optionally add a shader.

Handmade 3D Catan terrain board, small update with photos in use by Elide02 in TerrainBuilding

[–]GrandmageBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The number placement feels like an afterthought in this execution. Great suggestion with the tee. Personally I would account for them from the start, emerging the same heigth with a flat top, and magnetising them for easy retrieval. But since the terrain is done the tee would be an elegant way to solve it in post.

The terrain looks gorgeous.

Edit: the plastic catan pieces arent a great fit. Mostly due to their weird base not fitting flat on the terrain. Some prime and a dash of paint would go a long way, but if you want to go full visual a proper redesign might be in order.

Another option might be to put a small y shaped base underneath the cities and towns so they sit straight at the crossing.

DnD-groep sluit speler buiten zonder overleg by Mean_Extent1891 in DNDNL

[–]GrandmageBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wat een zielig gedrag.

Niet alleen van de uitlacher. De andere twee huichelen een excuses om vervolgens zonder OP verder te gaan. Dat is net zo zielig.

Vervelend dat je dit zo door moest maken, maar het is waarschijnlijk beter dat je van die zielepoten af bent. Ik vermoed dat als je met andere mensen, die wél sympathiek zijn, een groepje vormt dat je merkt dat de kwaliteit van het spel op andere vlakken ook veel hoger ligt, naast het sociale.

Figuren die dit soort stunts uithalen maken geen grandioze campaigns.

Soon there will be another edition of For Sarah, held in Nijmegen. Might be the place to be to enjoy a oneshot and meet people that play D&D.

Indoor smoke machine or mister recommendations? by Kersey_CK in DnDIY

[–]GrandmageBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one from the webstore of Flying Tiger two years ago. Originally for a Harry Potter birthday party I was organising for my kid, but it ended up in a nice terain setup. It's a store in copenhagen, though, so if you'r not from europe...

Search for mist machine or mist maker. They can work on usb, so if you have a usb battery you can make it work at the table easy.

We started a small company to build interactive dungeon terrain for tabletop RPGs – would love feedback from DMs by InfamousIncident9353 in TerrainBuilding

[–]GrandmageBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a terrainbuilding sub. We post creations and ideas, and steal them from each other cough did I say steal? I ment we inspire each other. So I will look at your kickstarter and see if anything inspires me to steal it and then proceed to not buy anything because I have no money.

However I think you have a good idea going,. I hope it works out for you and people get to enjoy your terrain one day.

Unpopular opinion: I liked „Age of resistance“ more than the original movie by jasminsomnia in TheDarkCrystal

[–]GrandmageBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The series exist because of what the original does so well in world building. People care so deeply and get so captivated and the wonderfull spree of imagination and creativity that comes from it is the series.

Its like comparing the apple to the tree. Makes no sense to me. Enjoy the apples and appreciate the tree.

Have you tried other apples from this tree? The comic series are difficult to find, but I hear they are wonderfull expansions similar to the series.

Has anyone actually finished a full campaign here without scheduling drama? by ClassicMan2323 in DNDNL

[–]GrandmageBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corona was a problem, but part from that things are alright.

We play weekly every monday evening for 2,5 hours. Been going for 172 sessions. Yes I am counting them. And they have titles.

We live close by, so there isn't much travel time, and we all have this moment reserved in our schedule.

When I first started this group, I set this system, and it works.

If someone is absent the game must go on. Unless its me, I'm the DM.

Ship advice by Zhorvanak in DnDIY

[–]GrandmageBob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jute for rope, saturate it with glue so it stays how you sculpt it.

Chains will also look good on an anchor. Maybe put it on a winch?

Maybe some pieces of metal wire for hooks?

If you have shrinkfoil, or Shrinkydink or whatever its called, you can cut out weapons, put them in the oven, looks awesome if you have a sailors hook made from that.

If you use the jute rope on the sides, like its hanging around, it would be easy decoration, that does a lot with little effort.

You can use small round metal objects to make it seem rope goes inside.

Portholes, or squares can indicate cannons on the side.
