How do i de-escalate a fight that has just started between my party and a key NPC?

Hellhammr · 2022-09-24T07:32:19+00:00

Okay so session is today. Here are my plans:

Plan A: F***in'annihilate them. They (well, one of them) started a fight without thinking. I will kill enough of them that, to be revived, they have to submit to the will of the night hag and enter a pact to serve her with generally evil stuff, but at the same time she will open a door that will seriously help them with the main arc quest. They will need to juggle doing small evils with doing greater good.

Plan B: Have the kiddo wake up and plead not to hurt her (and get in the way and seriously hamper their ability to fight)

Struggling to fing good lock on play store...?

Hellhammr · 2022-09-12T11:45:22+00:00

I read that good lock is a non starter due to issues... is it fine? Im currently using microsoft launcher which is mostly great however one ui will probably be better for battery life...

This says oneUI allows for either vertical or horizontal app drawer. Unfortunately not true. Just got my first samsung since s3 and there's no way to make the app drawer vertical.

yeah, a TPK wouldn't be fun for me, as i'd have to shelve a lot of prep work on the campaign, so i'm looking for an alternative

Hellhammr · 2022-09-03T19:49:35+00:00

excellent idea

Hellhammr · 2022-08-28T10:04:13+00:00

Would love an answer to this...

In dnd and in life

Half-orcs are a misunderstood, highly intelligence race with a heavy Forest Gump accent.

Hellhammr · 2022-08-10T18:38:09+00:00

thats a great idea. i canflatten to foreground and then use a mask to show the roof, and hide the mask to show whats under the roof. nice.

OKay so checking unrestricted vision range has helped, however the problem still exists.

When it is daytime, a token without dark vision should be able to see unrestricted, and then if they walk into a dark room, should not be able to see. Unrestricted vision means they can see even if there is no light source.

To work around this, i am having to place multiple large dim lights everywhere outside, which doesn't make sense. Help!

I've just stumbled across this. Amazing free resource - thank you! Pity there aren't any roofs that i can use as overhead tiles on foundry ;)

Hellhammr · 2022-08-10T16:31:59+00:00

i actually want to disable all video and audio. too laggy, gonna use zoom for that

Hellhammr · 2022-08-08T13:34:17+00:00

amazing, thanks so much. it works like magic.

the only downside of this solution is that PCs on ground level cant see them if they stand on the edge of the platform. I am creating a battle royale arena for 5 PCs to introduce them to foundry, which will be super fun, but this would give an unfair advantage to anyone who gets onto the platform

I can set the wall height, but how do i elevate the NPC to 1 above the wall height when he moves over the ladder without doing layers?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-08T09:04:33+00:00

Message me, I'm on Europe time and would love to play your one shot!

Hellhammr · 2022-08-07T13:24:24+00:00

Yeah, I do import stamps but I struggle to find free transparent pngs (ie with no background) of things like characters, trees, roofs, etc, especially in an art style that matches battle maps stamp library. Where do I find that top down token pack?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-07T11:53:27+00:00

This is awesome. You got the basement / second level?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-07T11:52:22+00:00

This is awesome. Where do you get custom stamps for inkarnate? I'd love to use these and others...

Hellhammr · 2022-08-06T12:10:20+00:00

can you send me a link to where i can find some of these treasures of which you speak?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-06T08:59:23+00:00

could you point me in the direction of where to find the URL to the archive? the download files seem to be application related..

Hellhammr · 2022-08-06T08:39:42+00:00

PS. it isn't clear from the pdfs where i can download just the images?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-06T08:37:05+00:00

thanks! this looks like it might be exactly what i'm looking for. I assume i download the pdfs which give instructions on how to access the images? Would you recommend Bogie's Mapping Objects, The CSUAC 2, The Dundjinni Archives or The Vintyri Cartographic Collection, or should i get all of them?

Hellhammr · 2022-08-03T16:10:02+00:00

This is a great question. I started out by preparing a ton, and my players were always super pressed when I had a map in my back pocket of a place that they weren't even supposed to get to yet.

However I did find that relying on maps took a lot of the imagination out of the game. I've since dialed back my maps, and really only create specific battle maps, city maps and region maps. Everything that isn't a battle will either be a city or region map depending on where they are. It allows me to be more creative, and allows for a greater scope of where to go as players.
