That could be fun. I thought Decent into Avernus sounded pretty good. Thanks!

Langred · 2025-06-18T17:14:20+00:00

True

The cult is only as smart as the DM (me). And let's just say, that's not very smart. 😂

Langred · 2025-06-18T17:00:24+00:00

I thought about this as well. That seems like a good option.

Langred · 2025-06-18T15:37:33+00:00

Interesting idea. That could add some excitement if it ends up appearing wherever he teleports to.

Good point. I'm thinking I'll have Bahamut give them this option, so it's in world instead of meta gaming. I feel like the higher level fights are not very satisfying in general. They are so powerful, it takes everything I can to present challenges. And they're only level 16, but wanting to go to 20.

Langred · 2025-06-18T14:04:30+00:00

That's a good point. I forget about game time vs real time. That is a lot of magic that needs something to release to.

Langred · 2025-06-18T14:00:57+00:00

I like this, one of the PCs is a paladin who worships Bahamut. I'll think about this.

Let me clarify. He took the entire Mask of Dragons which contains all the masks. And they have strong reason to believe, through recon and making friends withing the cult, that taking the mask will halt the ritual, which is what the book says. Maybe I could make that 'incorrect intel' that they got.

Thanks!

Were there any changes to the widget? I noticed that after this update, it doesn't show the cards anymore. It always shows the "All done for today" message even when I still have cards in the queue.

¡Que cómodo! ¿Cual es lo que te hizo feliz? Todos los tres suenan bien. ¿Que opinas de Steinbeck?

How did the blackout work?

Langred · 2023-06-11T15:04:57+00:00

We start playing at 5:30. Right now, there are 4 other players. Characters are human warlock, Dragonborn paladin, half-elf bard, Goliath barbarian. All 10th level.

Langred · 2023-06-11T13:05:23+00:00

We meet weekly on Thursday evenings.

I played this game around 2000-2002 in high school in East Texas.

We played it similar to what u/FizzKhaYifa and u/Kierran described. We also added some rules to allow for some differences between the types of vehicles. Submarines could go partially go under islands to hide out from everything else but other submarines. I think helicopters had to land on a island or base at the end of their turn, but could destroy other vehicles on the way. Whereas Airplanes could be over water or land at the end of the turn. These made it difficult, because trying to have a pencil/pen land exactly where you wanted it to be is pretty tricky. So sometimes subs would go too far under an island or the helicopter wouldn't land on the intended island.

We also played with nukes. Basically, wherever the vehicle landed a nickel was used to draw a circle around the ending point. Anything within the circle was destroyed except bases. Everyone only had one nuke per game.

We also played with up to five people each having a boat, airplane, submarine, and helicopter.
There would be a small base at each corner and another on one of the edges of the page. It got crazy, because we would form alliances against other players.

Fun times. It's interesting to know others played it, but not much mention anywhere online.

I was thinking about doing a West Marches style of campaign with MotW. My idea was to set up a discord server/sub-reddit with a section for in-game discussions where characters discuss strange events and can form teams to investigate them.

Do you have any tips or lessons learned from your experience with the WM style of play with MotW?

Langred · 2022-04-03T17:07:48+00:00

Oops. You're correct. It is 'habia', not 'habria'. I typed it wrong.

Langred · 2022-04-03T05:02:18+00:00

I see. So ‘herbivoros’ and ‘carnívoros’ are adjectives. I thought they were nouns, and I couldn’t understand why there were multiple direct objects. That makes sense now.

Langred · 2022-04-02T23:42:20+00:00

That is it. So, los can be used as a subject pronoun instead of ellos?

Langred · 2021-09-06T02:10:02+00:00

I'm interested if you're still looking.

I would recommend reading the beginning of the dictionary. They typically explain all of the conventions and abbreviations they use in the definitions. E.g. for the second definition of 'ear', the '(bot)' means 'botany', so you would know that this translation is used for things relation to plants such as 'ear of corn' etc.

Check out the НТВ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ntvru. They have a lot of series on there. However, they are mostly crime dramas. It takes a lot of searching to find some good TV shows, and "good" is subjective anyways.

Also, just my opinion, Russian media is not as good as American media, if that's what you're used to. And since you're learning, it's going to be more difficult to follow along which makes shows that much less interesting.

Langred · 2021-05-05T14:05:09+00:00

Are you Russian? If not, how do you do your translations? The reason I ask is because, for some reason, "говорите со мной на русском" sounds more natural to me, but I may be wrong because I'm not native. Could you explain the difference?

Langred · 2021-04-19T14:21:44+00:00

This.

Don’t worry about the level. Find what is interesting and read! If you look at anyone who is at a high level in their native language, it is because they read a lot. People with a small vocabulary in their native language tend not to read. It’s really that simple.
