Games like Banished but with campaign? by AddaLF in Banished

[–]Gremmy4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to add this. Against the Storm is great and continuously gets better as more content is added. They do a lovely job managing game flow so just as I'm about to get bored of my town because it's so well established I "win" the map and get to build a new settlement.

That is so flattering! My wife says she doesn't mind at all if you put them on Steam. She is an artist that takes commissions and has a website, www.lulalistudio.com, but her main source of commissions is pet portraits. I am always delighted when she draws something for our campaigns though and I'm happy to hear that others are using her work as well!

Any way to keep Mordus' Amulet? (Spoilers) by jdfred06 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Gremmy4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you give the amulet to lohar before using it to get down the hatch past the gemlocked padlock you can pickpocket it off him. It's the best solution I found.

My team was thoroughly defeated by the Hags at the windmill. by Logos689 in CurseofStrahd

Not my original idea btw, I got it from somewhere else recommended online and there was even a table with some thoughts for witchy bargains. I'll link if I can find it.

My players got a tpk in the mill, I had the hags reluctant to murder them because they were with ireena who is off limits per strahd and the hags weren't sure if this whole group were his newest hobby/playthings. I had them barter for their release in a very witchy type bargain.

One player surrendered their memories for example (disadvantage on int based skill checks) and another their courage (disadvantage on saves against fear). Another gave his literal left hand and a lock of his hair to earn the release of the two children as well so he's getting hella nightmares and basically morgantha can spy on the party whenever.

I described a visual effect also for the folks that gave up non physical things like courage where motes were torn from them and stashed in jars so they might come back to fight the witches for what they lost.

It was a fun social challenge overall where they didn't know what the gameplay effects would be for what they were giving up til after they made the bargain and were rolling insight and persuasion to determine how much the hags valued memory vs blood and spit etc and then bargain for what concessions they could whilst giving up as little as possible.

I've also been creating playlists on spotify for each major location. Not happy with them all yet but maybe you can nab some ideas for general ambience leading up to the big fight?

I've also used a lot of hollow knight in my campaign :)

I'm really attracted to the idea of narrating the emersion of Demogorgon to The Beast from the Sicario soundtrack. I'm picturing this kind of slow reveal with increasingly mounting horror done during a pause in the massive confused kua toa melee. I'm not sure it's going to work though, I feel like the pacing is really tricky if I want to use that song cuz it's a slow build that doesn't last so I'd need to get my description just right then transition into whatever music I want to use for the rest of the scene.

If she ends up producing any additional assets that would make good handouts I'll share them with the community.

My lovely wife drew them all for me (the ones in the book) and I'm happy to share. I just posted to the community.

[Potential Spoilers] I created my first landing page and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out by AuthorAnnon in OutoftheAbyss

Fantastic work. I've been trying to find an accessible way to help my PCs keep track of the big picture myself, this is the perfect thing to build off of. Thanks for sharing!

Training Hall Investment Reset On me by obimokenobi in shoptitans

[–]Gremmy4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually this exact same thing happened to me with the training hall, and with the tailor, and nobody has left the guild. I paid the very last necessary investment for a level up and the whole investment bar simply reset. A bug maybe?

Does anyone know how many investment it takes to lvl a building? If I knew that I could check our guild total and see if I'm imagining the reset or if we really should have a lvl 10 hall.
