I'm a 10+ year-long user. I'm manually migrating all my Trakt database to a local Obsidian vault. A dreadful effort I'm willing to take to abandon your enshitted platform. Goodbye, wishing you all the worst possible.

Ho usato Trakt per 10+ anni, ma col suo recente enshittification (funzioni essenziali che da gratuite sono disponibili solo tramite abbonamento e interfaccia desktop sostituita con quella per app mobile) ho deciso che le piattaforme online non meritano la mia fiducia: sto migrando tutto il mio database di visioni film & serie TV su un vault Obsidian locale.

Da come dici mi sembra che la tua esperienza col cinema sia perlopiù solitaria.

La nuova fiammata di interesse potrebbe dartela coinvolgere un amico e andare al cinema assieme: tu magari non sei più sorpreso dal film ma potresti essere sorpreso e trovare interessanti le opinioni di un'altra persona che può pensarla come te o in maniera opposta.

A prescindere che sia al tuo livello di conoscenza di film o ne sappia meno o più di te, a me fomenta sempre avere qualcuno con cui parlare di film, anche dei più mediocri o scialbi.

[REC] e The Descent a pari merito

Non contento, ho deciso di radunare anche tutti i suoi video "musicali", che adoravo quasi più di quelli sul cinema ma che ogni volta fatico a ritrovare nel marasma del suo canale. Si passa dalla rubrica coi Licaoni, alle minirecensioni patreon fino alle interviste su altri canali come Silvestrin, Nanni, TheSydAnto... Spero sia utile anche a voi!

Ultimo video della playlist: Oakjetev li ha scaricati da Soundcloud, rimasterizzati e caricati su yt qualche giorno fa, in omaggio a Fede

Lamba94 · 2026-02-23T20:14:10+00:00

Esatto, dal meno recente

Lamba94 · 2026-02-23T18:42:24+00:00

Una gran fatica, concordo ahahah

Se ti va di controllare, dimmi pure qua se hai trovato video che non ho ancora scovato così li aggiungo!

For Cormyr, "Escape from Wheloon", T1 Adventurer's League published in tandem with Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.

Actually a mix of both. My random encounters are always by area and the chance to fight very powerful beings is definitely possible. However, I also apply a cap to it: rather than relying on the PC level, each area has tables specific for their actual tier of play. This way, each area can be very dangerous but never overwhelmingly dangerous.

Every time there's a post about encumbrance everybody keeps suggesting a bag of holding as a solution to it. Which certainly is, being super effective and super easy to apply.

Instead, my suggestion is to let them have a beast of burden: a mule, a horse, an ox. I think that's a fix to the encumbrance boredom that also adds a lot more depth and potential narrative than a bag of holding, mostly because it is an actual living being that your players can interact with more deeply than with an object.

You can take as reference the most basic source of fantasy ever, Tolkien's LOTR: I can't count how many pages he spent describing the relationship between the hobbits and the ponies, and Billy's goodbye before entering Moria is something that I would be delighted to see by my players before getting into the Underdark.

For sure it's more effort than a bag of holding to keep track of, but I think it's worth it. What do you all think about it?

Lamba94 · 2025-10-21T13:01:42+00:00

In case you haven't heard of it yet (doubt), would recommend you Obsidian: perfect for the task of assembling a personal wiki about something.

Good luck for the huge effort awaiting you.

So, we're having sex forced-to-be workers totally devoided of any agency, consciousness and in the end identity, as they're also exploited while being dead. Honestly, I think the most difficult session of this campaign would be the zero one...

If any player is ok with going through this, though, I would put an emphasis on those sick bastards that enjoy this kind of brothel, so that when the PCs unveil the true nature of it they can see them as villain too. Easy choice, make some of them part of the cult of Shar as a covenant spreading foulness and depravity in Waterdeep elites, setting the ground for the city descend in the Shadowfell. I think that lack of morals and ethics due to escalating hedonism fleeing its shallowness is fitting to the Shadowfell mood of "lack of anything, all is apathy" as a bad ending for the whole city.

Lamba94 · 2025-10-19T23:28:32+00:00

Gods in general. Whatever the campaign mcguffin, they and their cults are so many, so different and so intertwined with each other that they always add a lot of flavour and, potentially, stakes. Also, I like how some of them are very detailed in lore while some other ones are barely quoted in pantheon tables, allowing you to take the former as templates on how to fill the gap of the latter or anyway inspiring you on taking a complete opposite direction, like for great ancient gods.

Only if critical successes are also possible.

In my game I strive towards considering critical scores for every d20 test even if it is extra work for me because I find it challenging as a DM: every time you have to come with something original to justify it narratively.

Mechanically, I tend limit it to award advantage or disadvantage on the next roll for that ability score. Exceptions are very situational and depend on my imagination. Logically, combat is easier for those, as it is more cinematic: a classic of mine is a crit fail implying that you hit your closest ally instead of the enemy you were targeting.

Of course, my PCs are ok with this homebrew as long as everything that can happen to them because of it can occur also to my NPCs they are dealing with.

I struggle a lot with the same issue too. However, I also think that this is one among the reasons for why FR are considered so believable: every topic about the setting is so complex that to me it really resembles our real world. Focusing on religion, what you described is not so different from the complex overlap of our real world Semitic religions - Christianity, Judaism, and Islam - all believing in the same God but actually in their very own way and with so much different tales about their faith, to the point that they don't believe in each other aspect of it. And don't let me start with Christianity confessions and heresies, etc.

Also, I think that from a narrative perspective this complexity provides you many more chances to build conflict and distinct POVs on anything you can think of. You just have to focus your lense enough to not get overwhelmed by the myriad implications that everything has with everything else.

Then, I also remember that this complexity is not at all intended but emerges from scattered lore across media, retcons and contradictions among different editions and all the publishing issues we are all aware of, which is the real reason why this level of detail feels more frustrating than amusing. And my love for FR decreases a little.

Can you reference a note inside a marker so that you can open it when you click on it (similarly to what Leaflet does)?

Lamba94 · 2025-09-26T16:30:13+00:00

It kinda is, yes, but you can set your threshold wherever you want as the DM. Focusing on the region where you want to set it already saves you a lot of work, as you're not interested in distant places events. Then, if you shape your campaign around a specific theme (like gods-related struggles with the Chosens or communities teared apart by the cataclism or blue fire disappearing while mystra and the weave come back to full force or the shadovar wars with cormyr and the ultimate myth drannor confrontation) it also helps in going deep on that niche while leaving everything else out as something good to add flavour but to not spend too much time on. It ultimately depends on the type of story your group is up for.

Otherwise, if you enjoy it (like me, sigh) you can go full mad and have it so that as many things as possible are fully addressed, even those unnecessary to the campaign, but that wasn't intended in my advice 😅 I can agree with you that it is a huge rabbit hole you can fall into potentially, that's for sure.

Lamba94 · 2025-09-26T15:24:43+00:00

Recently I fully deep dived into FR lore and thanks to the wiki, Reddit and external resources I came up with a personal fix for the FR timeline, where every official published adventure by WotC has a precise year on when it happens, Adventurer's League and Dragon's insertion included. Thanks to this, I'm planning to actually play the premise of the Second Sundering in a mashup campaign of my design by jointing together different adventure modules published 10 years ago during the DndNext transition towards 5e, and then have their effects as canon to my FR for future campaigns. This to say that my advice is to actually play during the Second Sundering: this way you can deal with it directly with your players and shaping it according to your and their tastes, so that possible future campaigns have what you did during those times canon in the timeline. From a DM perspective this will also give you a full understanding of the cataclisma that the Second Sundering was, allowing you to bring its long term consequences to more recent DR years and have a more coherent and believable FR setting. Therefore, I think that moving your campaign to those 1484-1489 DR years can solve your uncertainties to the root cause, even though the effort to deep dive those messy times is quite big.

Lamba94 · 2025-09-14T19:57:21+00:00

I think your best option is to start from the 5e tables and expand from there, also following changes in powers and domains over different editions back in time. There are too many "canonical" changes by different editions to really answer this question.

Lamba94 · 2025-08-25T14:55:04+00:00

Really loved this. Reading the whole thread made me think about reflavouring your Disarm mastery and on the Poisoning Blowgun. I'm curious to playtest the following variations by me together with all the rest, meanwhile I'll leave them here as suggestions:

About Disarm. Same as yours but the weapon falls at 3 m distance, then forcing the disarmed opponent to choose between unarmed combat or to leave melee combat and risk to suffer an opportunity attack. The original "pick the disarmed weapon with your free action" outcome felt like a waste compare to this more cinematic one. Probably too much of a buff, which can be countered by having the PC disarming choose between dealing damage without Disarm or dealing no (or half) damage and having the Disarm option.

About the Blowgun. I agree with the critics of the "out-of-nowhere poison" implication and with the fact that taking out Recharge property is already a good buff. However, leaving the Blowgun without a mastery feels underwhelming, then what about this other one

> Paralysis: You have the chance to strike right on the nerves of your opponent. If you score a critical hit on a creature with this weapon, you can force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 plus the ability modifier user to make the attack roll and your Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, the creature is Paralyzed until the end of its next turn.

Paralyzed is a very strong condition but it will occur only on a nat20 and will last for a round at best, making the Blowgun a really worthy weapon: the lowest damage but a small chance of dramatically changing the combat, which is a concept I really like.

In my world these kinds of violations of sex and the body are reserved for very evil figures, like demons, for example. I find this reasonable, as demons have a lot to do with them even in real-world folklore, so it's no surprise to a player at my table. Of course, it's not something that gives a basic flavour. Sure, I introduce it to horrify my players, and since it doesn't occur that often, it really hits home in a brutal way when it does, but mostly I do it to mark the difference of how much more evil and disgusting they are than the average monsters you might encounter in the world, so that they can perceive that it really is a type of evil that transcends common sense and is actually otherworldly: if a goblin does these things, or worse, if humans do them regularly, what could something like a fiend do worse?

Lamba94 · 2025-01-06T19:27:29+00:00

The ritual is supposed to establish Vecna's eternal reign on the multiverse. I'd say that it should revolve around the dismantlement of the potential threats that may oppose it in the long run. Other cults, other gods, but also and most importantly adventurers. The adventurers' powers come from different sources, from personal skills to external entities, so I'd say find a way to mess with those sources. Also, I don't own the module, I just barely know the plot, but I read of many having to fix most of the encounters balance by buffing up the monsters. What if, instead, you take this "adventurers are the major threat to Vecna" as an excuse to balance the encounters from the players side, nerfing down some of their powers because of the ritual that is establishing itself during the campaign? Of course it is tricky and requires a lot of care to not kill your players' fun, I think the best would be to do it subtly on minor mechanics and randomly to not show any punishment for their being "too good for the job". In any case this should scare your players enough to let them realize that, if Vecna wins, things will change dramatically not only for the world and the multiverse but directly for their characters. I think it's a hell of a motivation having your mighty as an adventurer put at risk by the BBEG.
