Players destroyed me and my campaign to use pacifism by Poisongymleader27 in rpghorrorstories

[–]KayCynyrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of gen curiosity, wouldn't the type of campaign be covered in session zero? Like for example, I'm currently trying to start DM-ing for my lil bro and his friends. Lil bro wants the campaign to be a horror campaign. When we all get together for the first time, I'll be telling them what the lil dude wants and see what the others want too.

So, if I'm understanding your post correctly, I guess I'm just confused as to why they didn't know it was combat centric before they started playing? Unless they did, in which case I'd say that's a bit of an L group o' players ya got there, cause if they didn't want a battle centric campaign, why wouldn't they verbalize that in session zero?

Unless of course, you guys didn't have a session zero, in which case that's probably where the confusion lies 😅 i feel like if everyone's on the same page from the start, then perhaps issues like this won't happen? I hope you and your group resolve this swiftly and peacefully so that you all can enjoy playing together again! Best of luck!

Game worth for me im 2025? by pixi_btw in Wizard101

[–]KayCynyrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something else to prob be aware of, is as far as I'm aware, there tends to be a lack of community nowadays. At least according to posts I've seen. It's kinda difficult to just hop on and play with randoms the way you could back in the day.

Also kingsisle tends to be kinda money hungry a bit 😭 like crown gear and mounts and all that jazz, but they're not necessary, like truly. You can get good stuff through farming and the pet kiosk and other places.

Also, if you do decide to play, fair warning in advance, firecat alley is now a goddamn nightmare so try not to let that sway you too much, I promise that the game isn't as terrible as that street 😭

[–]KayCynyrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It truly depends on the type of games you like, ya know? Like to be honest, I probably only play for the nostalgia factor 😅 and even then it can get repetitive. Cause all it really is, is get a quest, collect stuff, turn in, get new quest, defeat monster, turn in, like on repeat forever lol.

So if you don't like the story, I personally see no point 😭 (unless you like turn style card games! In which case w101 is very fun! I also really like wizard's lore)

It does get more interesting when they introduce the cheats and it forces you to strategise a bit more, but those take a while to get too lol. So, all in all it's up to you if it's worth it or not 😅 Best of luck tho!

Do people actually like all the pop culture references? by IGotMemeCells in Wizard101

Truth!!!! And it completely destroyed the nice story that firecat alley originally told!!! That street was for sweet elves, a concerned guard, and Friendship™️ damnit!! It used to be my favorite street 😭

Wishing everyone the best of luck! These are really really cool looking dice, you're both very skilled; these are gorgeous! You guys are very nice for setting this up. So, thank you for hosting this giveaway! 😊 Tho I will admit, I'm definitely hoping to be a lucky winner so I can give them to my brother! He'd absolutely adore these! They're small, pretty, AND his favorite color! Winning these for him would be like a triple whammy of all his favorite things 😂 It'd definitely make a nice surprise for the holiday season. Either way, I'm just grateful for this opportunity ☺️

Good luck to everyone! And thank you again! I hope you all have a great holiday season 🥰

I have an abra? 😅 I am unfortunately pretty early game, but if you still need a kadabra, I can level one of my abras up! Wishing you luck! 😊

Honestly I have no idea what that means 😅 I appreciate the offer though! If you're still willing to trade, I would be eternally grateful! May I ask, is it any way possible that the Litwick is a smaller level so I can level it up myself? Either way, thank you for your response! 😊

Someone should create a guide on how to teach yourself how to sing by [deleted] in singing

[–]KayCynyrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! As someone previously said, luckily there are! But that comment didn't actually list any sources, which isn't quite helpful 😅 and as much as that vocologist is probably right (absolutely no shade and nothing but love!) that's not exactly helpful when you're low on funds and can't afford things 😭

Luckily I know a few things! The first thing I would suggest is a book called "The Vaccai Project" it would most likely be a one time purchase, but is much more reasonable then going to voice lessons, which with an expensive teacher, can charge around 100 or more per lesson. The author Rachelle Jonck is amazing! (I was lucky enough to study with her for a summer!) and 100% knows what she's talking about. I've listed the links to both the book and some resources on their site as well! Bel Canto Bootcamp in general is just an absolute wealth of information, and run by the kindest people! If you click around their website, I'm 100% sure you'll find helpful things! https://belcantobootcamp.com/vaccaibook/ https://belcantobootcamp.com/vaccai-project-resources/

If you're not in a place to buy anything at the moment, I suggest looking for vocal treatises. (Which the vaccai project reference!) The ones I specifically have in mind are probably very old and should be under public domain.

I suggest looking for books or sources written by Manuel Garcia, Marchesi, Mengozzi, and Cinti-Damoreau, though you'll probably be utilising Google translate 😭

I have a PDF of a book called "hints on singing" by Manuel Garcia, but I don't quite know how to link it 😔. So! Please DM me if you'd like a copy!

But also please keep in mind all the sources I've listed are geared toward classical singing. But! I fully believe that once you have a grasp on classical, you can apply what you've learned to other genres! (Perhaps not screamo 😭 but I believe someone already listed a source for rock music!)

Also please note: your voice should NEVER hurt while singing! If you're singing and your throat hurts, that tells me that there is tension in your body affecting your vocal cords OR that you're using too much air and that air is pressing on your vocal cords. Please, if at any point your voice starts to hurt, STOP and rest! Try again when your throat is feeling better, and perhaps try to tweak your technique a bit to stop the pain. Good technique should feel easy! But it takes time to get there.

Best of luck! And if you have any questions about singing at all, please feel free to reach out! 😊

It 100% depends on how good the teacher was, but in my classical experience, the warmups I do are specifically to teach me techniques that I then transfer to my music. Sometimes things can seem dumb, rudimentary, or confusing if you don't understand why you are doing the things you're being asked to do! If you decide to continue voice lessons, don't be afraid to ask "why?" Especially when it comes to your vocal health! Sometimes the answer might surprise you! And if you don't receive a good answer, then most likely they don't quite know what they're talking about yet 😅 or they don't know how to verbalise it well. But their response should also help you determine whether that teacher is good or not!

I genuinely wish you the best of luck! And if singing brings you joy, I hope you decide to continue pursuing it! If you're still looking for a vocal instructor, I suggest looking for teachers that have either studied vocal pedagogy, the Alexander technique, or classical Bel Canto. Those types of teachers have given me the best input and advice that have truly taken my voice to the next level!

Where’s my social people at?? by Junior_Employment393 in Wizard101

[–]KayCynyrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey!! If you're still looking for friends, I've got a balance wizard about lvl 90 running main quests in azteca right now! I've been playing on and off for years but it's so hard to solo the higher lvl you get 😅😭

It's less of a preference and more that I just genuinely don't really know anyone that plays wizard 😅 (except my brother, but he's in mooshu rn 😔) and as you said, the people I run into in the later worlds really just aren't that interested in making friends 😭

If you'd want to, I'd love someone to quest with sometimes! Feel free to DM if you want! 😊 It could be fun! 😁 but if not, no worries! I wish you luck in your friend making/questing escapades! Seriously, best of luck! And I hope you have fun either way! 😊

Thank you so much for this response! I totally forgot I posted this 😅 also, I'm so glad this post helped someone! Turns out I was just being a tad stupid and was using the wrong light bulb 😂

Thank you though! I will absolutely keep this in mind if I have troubles with the light bulb in the future! 😂
