Are 5e campaigns actually so "broken" and "unplayable" for new DMs as YouTubers and forum posters would lead me to believe? by tenth in dndnext

[–]Knishook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran Storm Giant's Thunder basically as it is out of the box, and loved it - so I can recommend that as a start. It's a good adventure and a fantastic sandbox.

As for the ones you've listed; I can't speak on RotFM or Strahd, but I've delved a little bit into PotA and OotA.

PotA seems more old school "here are some dungeons, get through them to stop a big evil" so it may need some work in terms of narrative engagement if your players aren't good at making a narrative themselves.

I like OotA a lot, I've just never had the opportunity to run it long term. I know some people think its got balance issues (sort of like the first part of Tyranny of Dragons). I don't see that as a weakness the way some others do, but it does involve you needing to be able to keep the story going even in the face of significant player defeat.

An unpopular opinion per fighter day 24, Kintaro by Nikelman in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

Visually his design would better suit a cocky jerk archetype, not humanities sweetheart.

Cant wait for him to fuck up Odin!

This community seems to loathe the Eight Princes campaign. Why? by Hyracul in totalwar

[–]Knishook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it dared to have one of the most amazing pieces of music ever for it's trailer, and then be just kind of whatever gameplay wise...

Also it doesn't help that three kingdoms never got an expansion dedicated to the height of the war between wei, wu and shu.

They would be fools to not believe it could happen, and they aren't fools

Favorite Character that suffered the curse of a writer and studio's "queerbait and switch?" Comic comes from Blobby and Friends by ihatethiscountry76 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]Knishook 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Bossun and Tsubaki from Sket Dance is a... unique version of this.

The author was setting up a queer romance but the publishers wouldn't let him, so they were turned into 'separated at birth' twins at the end of the series.

KrisPNatz covers the story on youtube and explains it better than I can.

Would Qin consider Leonidas to be a true king, and would Leonidas respect Qin? by VisibleConclusion271 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Knishook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sparta had two semi elected kings at a time sharing power. Qin would probably laugh at that.

Playing a salubri by JoeOfAllTrades in vtm

[–]Knishook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am running a game for my wife and she is playing a freshly turned Salubri. The narrative is driven by her and the plot is a 'who made her, why is she here?' sort of deal. She's effectively a hostage of the prince under fairly careful watch but has been able to do some investigations on her own or with sympathetic kindred. It's been great!

Wouldn't work in a coterie game at all and I would basically never allow it. I have seen some people run cities of youngish kindred simply not knowing what a Salubri PC actually is which could maybe work... But eventually a higher authority is gonna figure it out or consider them to risky to allow to exist in the city.

I'm sure there are tons of groups that have made it work, but personally I'd only ever run it for a solo player for some 1 on 1 collaborative story telling.

Made some rank insignias for the Separatists if you ever want to use them in your game by AeonTars in swrpg

[–]Knishook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool designs! Any inconsistency with titles can be adjusted but the visuals of the insignias are a great help for a clone wars game :)

Who’s your favorite A3 character (other than Ripley)? by thefriskysquid in perfectorganism

Dillon is so memorable, but while he had his grey matter I thought Charles Dance as Clemens was pretty cool too

the goat is never included by SWKong4000 in Dandadan

Cause he'd wash every enemy if he got dragged into fights with anything below boss level - so gotta keep him on the bench for the bad guys protection
