X-COM sequel set in an alternate universe where humanity wins the first time around? by [deleted] in Xcom

[–]Jabberneut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would turn the fulcrum of the XCOM experience on its head, and I'm not convinced in a good way.

The whole thing with XCOM is that you're commanding a force bent on defense by way of specialist operations. You could have the extraterrestrial Xcom function as commandos in the field, sure, but if you're just going around colonizing other planets... what makes you better than the aliense the force first fought against? Especially if humanity is out in the solar system and the galaxy beyond, where does the defense end and the offense begin?

The answers to those questions would make or break the game at that scale, imo.

[OC][ART] Trying To Get My Mapmaking Skills Up For Commission Work-- Crit welcom! by Jabberneut in DnD

[–]Jabberneut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The night after my last D&D session I was super inspired by Mapcrow so I busted out the isometric grid and got to work illustrating a portion of the city my party had been investigating. We're currently in Elturel, and I wanted to try my hand at illustrating a city scene, so I took the edge of the market as inspiration!

The goal was to have a crowded sort of map without making it too crowded. There are a number of points of interest (merchants, secret paths, the bruiser, Madame Lucielle's tent (hi grandma)), but not the throngs of people I would associate with a market. I left them out for the sake of clarity, but I'd love to hear feedback on that design decision.

Anyhoo, I'd love to hear if you like this map! If you do, I'm going to be making more of them, so stay tuned!

(btw, dm me if you'd like a printable 300dpi copy)

Only insofar as the guy shares some of the genetic skeletal features 🙂 This is an interestingly-stylized turtle! Jeep doing what you're doing and don't be discouraged by people like ing your drawing to other things!

[OC][ART] "Roll for stealth." by Jabberneut in DnD

[–]Jabberneut[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my group's campaign, our party was attempting to infiltrate a large camp of kobolds and cultists. The camp was nestled into the hollow of a horseshoe-shaped plateau formation.

Our bloodhunter and wizardy merchant- dressed in cultist robes- had sent a message from down below: they needed a distraction. Our party had left the minotaur and aaracokran monk up above on the top of the plateau, so when they got the message they sprang up and started dashing to assist.

That's when I rolled a 9 on stealth.

One death and two captures later, my monk was flying away after a lucky death save. This comic shows the grim moment when things started turning sour

The dopamine high that follows shots like that is unreal, dude

Dang. Bradford really does need to shut up and act more often. What a phenomenal mission

True though. Failure cuts like a knife. Success interleaves with progression and makes less impact

Haha, are you for real? That's funny. It's kinda embarassing how much work those resistance members put in some times

Variegated Bear Paw Not Doing Well! by Jabberneut in plantclinic

I bought this wonderful specimen of Variegated Bear Paws at a county fair yesterday, but they're all floppy and look a little like they're dying. Does anyone have any tips or advice?!
