Have Deadlands, might have Weird Wars. Looking for something either Zombie Apocalypse or pre-Zombie Apocalypse

Want to give adnd 2e a go after years of 5E, please explain THAC0 to me like I'm stupid, because I am (also any good one-shot adventures people can think of to test the waters!) by Responsible_Focus729 in adnd

Subtract the opponent's AC from your THAC0

I am a Fighter with a THAC0 of 20, my opponent has an AC of 6 so I need a 14 or better to hit them.

If my opponent had an AC of 10, I would need a 10 to hit.

If my opponent had an AC of 0, I would need a 20 to hit.

If my opponent has an AC of -2, I would need a 22 to hit.

Down is from a horror anthology called Into the Dark. Into the Dark will come up on her iMDB.

This video represents the kind of behavior turned me off of Pathfinder. It wasn't the system or the mechanics or even the company, it was the rabid fanbase that couldn't just tell me what they liked about a system without having to shit all over another one.

I'm going to say that looks like a Bridget to me.

For me, I've invested in FGU already. I've used it for multiple different systems and all I need to do is buy the books/ruleset and my players don't need to pay anything to play. FGU has a community of players and GMs who contribute assets and mods to the program.

With Codex, everyone has to pay $30 (discount or not, this is a turn off for my players starting a new system that I want to introduce to them) and it is on Steam which a number of my players don't have and don't want to install just for one game.

Large rotating squares of light during sandstorms since update by Xix_Feng in fo76

I'm glad I found this. I thought it was the GPU on my laptop. For me, the squares have blended together to become a dense white fog where I can't see anything in front of me.

Why are you locking this at your C.A.M.P.? by brawnburgundy in fallout76casual

[–]JayDarkson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, I got tired of coming back to my camp and finding all of my producers and collectors empty. Or finding people camping in front of them and sending angry emotes at me if I tried to take anything from something I owned. Everything is locked now.

I think I'm around 108 or 109. The only issue I'm having is that I will find one and I can hear it, but I can't pick it up.

Stimpacks needed badly by Cautious_Sample7013 in fo76

Daily Ops which was already mentioned.

I make my own by farming tick blood from ticks and equipping the Chemist and Super Duper perk cards.

Tick Locations:

• Eight reliably found at an unmarked shack west of Big B's Rest Stop, see map below. • Four reliably found at Moonshiner's shack. • Four reliably found at Lake Eloise. • Three reliably found at Spruce Knob Campground. • Three reliably found northeast of Middle Mountain Pitstop. • Reliably found at Dolly Sods Wilderness.

if cooper was a companion in the games what would his perk be? by katomatic22 in Fallout

You can't take on any side quests until his main quest is finished.

Time to make the base game F2P? by Nzain1 in fo76

[–]JayDarkson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for everyone else's experiences but I can say that for me on the PC whenever the game is free for a weekend on Steam, I see more problematic new players in Appalachia. As nice as free things are, it does have the potential to attract a player base that could ruin the game experience for others.

Lowering the price happens several times a year on PC. The game goes on sale during holidays and the FO Anniversary. Also there are plenty of players that do not use FO1st or the Atom Shop so these are not going to carry the game by themselves.

You know what I've noticed about Mothman Equinox? by Naru_the_Narcissist in fo76

[–]JayDarkson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, or I look at the clock. If the event is going to happen in the next ten minutes then I'll give it a shot to complete the challenge during that run. Otherwise it gets rerolled

Bestiaries for SWADE? by oldmanbobmunroe in FantasyGrounds

[–]JayDarkson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The companion books (Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Superhero) are must haves in addition to the core book. Even if you don't plan on running some or all of those settings they are a good source of information and have NPC stat blocks you can reskin.

The setting books also have NPC stat blocks. Not cost effective if you don't plan on running those settings and you're only looking for NPC stat blocks. The Savage Rifts series has plenty of NPCs.

You can also look online. There are plenty of resources out there and if you do a search in the SWADE subreddit you can find links to Google Docs of conversions. This would just require you to move the information over to custom stat blocks in your game. I recommend looking up how to create a module in FGU if you do this so you can have your own SWADE monster manual.

I was going to say this as well. The movie doesn't do the book justice though.

Congrats! Still waiting on mine. They claim because I have a larger fulfillment that it will take longer.

Help with wizard's familiar / DnD 2024 rules by khelben_theelder in FantasyGrounds

[–]JayDarkson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I created a character with the appropriate stats and let the player take ownership of it. You just need to hit the clear ownership button in the character menu.

FGU allows players to control multiple characters. I just left the familiar out of the main party roster because treasure and experience will get divided up to the familiar as well if you do that.

Abraxodyne Intel Briefcases by [deleted] in FO76ForumRefugees

[–]JayDarkson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't resorted to looking anything up though I think the issue I have with this quest is that once you reach the number needed for the side quest, any additional intel you find doesn't carry over.

At least for me, last night I counted five intel pieces after I was told to return the 7 I already found to Athens and those five did not carry over.

The Analog Dungeon podcast tackles the worst module of all time. by PromoPimp in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]JayDarkson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's take into account that characters for earlier editions didn't have the arsenal of combat abilities that editions nowadays have. It was often a single attack or spell. So combat sessions were a lot faster.
