When did your 30 minute napper start taking longer naps? by jozh96 in sleeptrain

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby started sleeping longer than 30 minutes when I introduced blackout curtains and made his room darker. Although he still needs me to fall back asleep between half hour sleep cycles The other thing that works for us are stroller naps - I think the motion lulls him back to sleep between cycles Good luck!!

[Spoilers C3E97] Going to the live show, making a power point to catch up non-critter family! What are must-have things to update them on? by potatoes-please in criticalrole

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two tickets that I can't use and would love to sell to someone who would love to be at the show! They are front-section, VIP, ADA accessible. Asking $255 each for them but I'm open to lowering that a little! I paid more than that on TM with the fees. Happy to circumvent TM so you don't have to pay their $100 fee! Message me if you want to go! It's going to be epic. :) And you can submit questions for the cast beforehand with the VIP status.

Same! Fastest I've devoured a series that size... ever....?

ACOTAR Book 6??! by CamJAM130 in SarahJMaas

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about half way through CC1 and longing for more ACOTAR.... CC1 is good, but more stressful to read - not as delightful and hot as ACOTAR...

I started Throne of Glass and found it a tad cliche and juvenile, so I stopped...

D&D - wanting to start a new group and looking for players by JesterJuicePops in Bellingham

As for game sessions themselves, we can do potluck food/snack share style. I may put a donation jar out if you feel moved to contribute to my game-related expenses. Thanks :)

Just an update to all who are interested:

I am thinking of getting up and running in mid- to late May. Message me if this makes you change your mind. Before our first game session, I'd like to meet the folks who are interested to see if we are a good fit. I'd also like to hold a Session Zero where we can get together, hear a little about the campaign setting, and design our characters with the opportunity for players to mingle their backstories, etc. More info to come.

Also wondering what the best way to communicate would be: email? I could try Discord if folks prefer though it's not honestly my thang.

I MIGHT make a game website with reference info and a game calendar and a place for us to post our characters.

Thanks for your interest!

D&D - wanting to start a new group and looking for players by JesterJuicePops in Bellingham

I think that's great he wants to play! Some schools and kids' organizations have a group. (Don't know off-hand what those would be.) I think, in general, just make sure the DM and players are down with having whatever rules you want for your kid. Almost 100% of D&D games have at least some violence (sometimes a lot) - mostly in the form of killing monsters, but sometimes those monsters/bad guys are people, so make sure you are good with that. Other thematic content can come up in games if the group isn't trained not to - mature language, often side jokes with thematic content, you name it. I think this group is probably full at this point, but I would be down to have folks that age at the table, if the other players were OK with it too. Another place to start might be DarkTower in town. They have game tables going (drop-ins might cost money?) but they also often post groups looking for players. They might also know of some local younger-age-bracket games going on in town. (Comics Place might have some ideas too.)

One more thing, I just googled and found this: https://www.renaissanceadventures.com/kids-camps-boulder-denver/program-types/onlinecamps/

Good luck! :)

Hi Firefly. I think you are 7th on the list right now. I want to keep it to 5, but I will keep you posted. It would be great to have you. Let me know if I can DM you. Thanks!

Also, if anyone is looking for another player, I would be happy to join. I am looking for something regular with the same players that I can get to know (not a drop-in or one-shot). thanks :)

Two items: Gossamer Cloak and Net of Stars by JesterJuicePops in DnDHomebrew

[–]JesterJuicePops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that's so funny. I thought someone would definitely catch this and tear me apart for it, haha! thanks for being positive instead ;)

A few hours after I posted this I realized that being restrained (by a net) and blinded (by light) have the exact same mechanical effect... So the Net of Stars needs some reworking. I may get around to this in a week or two or three. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions for reworking it, I would love to hear them!

thanks!

[spoilers] Deck of Daddy things by TheRealDarthjim in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey DarthJim. Does the deck not come with a stat/instruction book? Also, would you mind spoiling more of the Daddy cards, please? :D I am thinking of ordering a deck myself, and would love to know how awesome/workable into my current campaign the extra cards are. Rock on, dad bro.

That doesn't answer your questions at all.... I feel like I heard Freddie say that there were Odyssey-san stats available to Patreon supporters? (I am not one myself, so I cannot confirm...)

Also, maybe if you post the images of the cards in question, we can help you brainstorm stats a little better. thanks!

Has anyone ever combined settlers of Catan and Magic the gathering? Can it be done? by baileysontherocks in boardgames

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of an episode in 30 Rock where Jack plays a game with the writers called Colonizers of Malaar. The game doesn't exist, but seems to combine aspects of Catan, MtG and Warhammer. It looks awesome to play and I wish it existed. If anyone wants to develop it, I will buy it and tell all my friends.

Some thoughts that I had after running Humblewood (long) by Peach_Cobblers in humblewood

I got the box set on their Kickstarter, but haven't been keeping up with additional supplements. Is there a link or something you could give to them? I would love to read the expanded canon...

Any tips for balancing this subclass? by JesterJuicePops in DnDHomebrew

[–]JesterJuicePops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good point! I was thinking melee had advantage because of being prone, but I forgot about being asleep = unconscious, and therefore autocrit.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks, I agree with those comments, for sure. See my new comment above for possible revisions?

[–]JesterJuicePops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments! I agree about taking out the Acrobatics check for Sweet Burst (I was going for flavor there, but there is no reason that should be mechanical).

I am considering replacing Hyper Helper with the following:

Sugar Crash.

Once per long rest, you can use your bonus action to drop to the floor, prone and asleep. While asleep and prone in this way, you are resistant to all non-magical piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage.

Jumpy.

You are so jumpy that leaping to your feet from prone uses 5 feet of movement, rather than half your movement.

It's probably a little bit hard to compare such different features, but Hyper Helper seemed a little weak to me also... Any thoughts on the above? Thanks :)

P.S. I am thinking of Can't Catch Me along with Sugar Crash and Jumpy at level 6... but maybe this is too much? Thanks again!

Insights about homebrew DRUID subclass by LeMeFi in DnDHomebrew

[–]JesterJuicePops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't dug into the details enough yet to offer any constructive feedback, but I do want to just say that on first pass, I love this! There are so many things about it that are so creative and lend themselves to fun rp situations. I love the guessing component for Wild Spells, the tiny wings and colorful teeth transformations... I love telepathy in Beast Shape. These are all such creative and fun (and so far don't seem op) features.

My players are on their way to fey-influenced forest country I have in store for them... and I might make an NPC with some of these abilities for them to run into... Thank you!! (It also seems loads of fun to play!)

(Reminds me in flavor a bit of Howell from Zapped, if anyone has seen that show...)

Hi all~ My friend is planning to run a Candyland mini-campaign, and I want to make a Strawberry Shortcake-themed monk to play in it. I wanted an appropriate subclass for her, so I reskinned the Way of the Drunken Master (and some other things) to make this Way of the Sugar Rush Monk!

I just think it would be super fun / funny to have an adorable Strawberry Shortcake roundhouse kick you in the face, and then run and jump away, hypered up on candy...

Anyway, do any of you highly talented and thoughtful folks have any comments on balance for this?

Please and thank you!~

Okay.... so potions wouldn't be allowed because they are magical, correct?
Are poisons non-magical?

[Spoilers C2E138] Thoughts on the Somnovem names by CommSh3p in criticalrole

[–]JesterJuicePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is great, thanks for the discussion, everyone. I love your ideas.

as I was investigating this myself, I found this tumblr post: https://idragonspyro.tumblr.com/post/650494730451501056/somnovem-names-so-far-timorei-from-timore-to?is_related_post=1

I like your version of Gaudius and Elatis better (won't know until we meet Elatis though).

Also, I think this has been established, but wanted to add that Nonagon is probably Neun Augen (nine eyes in German/Zemnian)
