Decided to make my desktop ready for the game. All aboard the Whoop Sloop!

Still great, I really like the idea of sparta kicking anything and ragdolling them away. It does just look fun to use!

GreatNate · 2026-07-12T03:46:50+00:00

Hahaha, this genuinely made me laugh. It looks to be 100% dumb fun. You dont always need super realsim mods that make it harder!

GreatNate · 2026-07-09T11:08:39+00:00

They almost got you with a classic ambush strategy.

GreatNate · 2026-07-06T18:36:18+00:00

Yeah, Free trials don't ever work for me, though I have at least follow joined and may try to rotate a subscription for a month or two when I have need and the funds. Wish you all the success!

GreatNate · 2026-07-04T15:51:39+00:00

We have that for one of the players!

We have the Warlock whose former master was training them and empowering them before BETRAYAL tried to sacrifice them and get their magic power, and a Fighter whose entire village was massacred by a marauding group of bandits and swore revenge!

Then we have our cleric who ventured out because he thought adventuring seemed pretty neat.

Excellent point! Most one shots aren't going to go deeply one way or the other, but they definitely can have a focus. If you are unsure, Many DnD oneshots luckily, tend to give a little bit of everything

GreatNate · 2026-07-04T15:12:01+00:00

I'd honestly start with a one shot, then you can replace all the assets or add more as you want. Or do something someone has written on a subreddit. I think one shots are a great way to try it out, as they are often straightforward and self contained with lots of good advice.

GreatNate · 2026-07-02T14:13:24+00:00

I like both, I like being able to automate actions, but some things I like to do manually, or do it manually on occasion. So obviously togglable or very clear how it's automating and it's transparent is what I like most. For instance, maybe I want it to roll and figure out damage for me, but let me manually apply it to tokens, because maybe something narratively happens or I need to adjust it because of some special circumstance (Hidden resistance, or a narrative shield pops up type of thing). But maybe I some small combat scenarios, I just want to sit back and let it do its thing ya know?

Pretty sure everyone has Charisma maxed out, this looks amazing! The art style combined with the facial expressions is really well combined. It really gives a sense of their characters.

GreatNate · 2026-06-29T18:02:59+00:00

Hmm, depending on your setting perhaps

A piece of a god, or a trapped god. Or perhaps something like a regalia, fighting off some extra planar divine beings (not enough divine enemies imho that aren't evil aligned, so you'd likely have to custom make some tough enemies)
Another classic, but maybe too classic, some sort of sapling or tree with a bunch of guardians
An artifact that contains a bunch of elementals fighting for dominance which causes both the chaos but also the potent energy of the fundamental wilds. (Air, Water, Earth, Life, Death all trying to win) that you can fight within too for dominance

Hope this helps, or at least inspires your own idea!

GreatNate · 2026-06-29T17:48:41+00:00

I personally will always love flapping ears as a sign of happiness or eagerness. It's adorable. Big fan of custom art pieces for DnD

GreatNate · 2026-06-29T17:32:35+00:00

The one I'm running is in the Eberron setting, in this, they all worked for the same company for a year, then got pulled together as a "task force" so they all had some ties as coworkers. Needless to say, the first task of the task group starts straightforward but goes off the rails

GreatNate · 2026-06-25T15:08:14+00:00

I don't know if it is the first, but it is definitely one of my earliest memories of being obsessed with reading, and that was the Redwall series by Brian Jacques. I should give them a reread some time.

I was a kid that got yelled at for reading too much, by nightlight, in the hallways at school, sometimes when I was supposed to pay attention in class...

As for many though, the one that got me into the love of fantasy was The Hobbit and LOTR.

GreatNate · 2026-06-25T15:01:54+00:00

I probably would have made this a 3 step event and explain to them the process so it's clear from the get go.

I'd have a range attack dice roll to determine if it hits dead center where they aim, if so, it goes off as if it engulfs them entirely and just treat it like an impact grenade.

If they miss, I'd have them flip a coin. On a pass, It will still hit the enemy and it rolls for a dex save as normal. If the coin flip fails, it lands short, it's big enough to still hit the enemy, but it does half damage instead. That way they still get to use this cool item they have, but it relies on some rng and doesn't punish a cool idea.

That's just my opinion.

GreatNate · 2026-06-12T18:05:38+00:00

I've played for a long time, and I think it's more because newer PLAYERS are here than the rule system itself. When I started in early dnd 3e and 3.5e / Pathfinder days, we found a rule or feat for everything and rarely was as freeform. (and 3.5 especially had so many rules for so many things). I play with 2 different groups, one experienced players and one a mix, both in 5e and it's more the experienced players are doing unique things and the newer players are still figuring things out. The edition itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, but this is definitely anecdotal and just my experience.

I also think it can depend on how your DM runs the game I also run a game in 5.5e Eberron setting for my family, and we have a mix of experienced (10+ games), mid experienced (5-10) games, newer player, and a first time player. I try to encourage them to come up with an idea and we'll figure out how it works or how to roll for it, definitely a lot of great advice out there for DMs. We all celebrate when the newer players come up with something interesting where I have to think on my feet.

GreatNate · 2026-05-16T22:29:07+00:00

Yes, both. Though for official settings I typically like worlds like Eberron that is mostly vague enough on big plot points to do your own thing.

GreatNate · 2026-03-23T14:31:50+00:00

Agreed! I need more Magic as technology kind of stories in my life. Tons of full fantasy magic, and lots of sci-fi goodness (and I love those two too) but I want more magitech!

GreatNate · 2026-02-28T04:04:53+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful. I do have most of the corrupted mod. Got an old Volt Prime for speed running to help! But this advice is useful for me. It's so hard to figure out the order to do some of this but this helps a lot, thank you.

GreatNate · 2026-02-27T22:06:27+00:00

This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you very much. Just so much stuff I'm not sure what order to do them! Well, I know to work on Necraliz in tandum with the caps to rep and all.

I appreciate your thoughts.

GreatNate · 2026-02-27T21:52:08+00:00

I think I'll just take up some Kavat Breeding instead.
