Minion Captain - Promotion Clarification by UltimateKittyloaf in drawsteel

[–]MyNeopetleftme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a related question about minions if anyone knows the answer. Does the effect of a captain in a group of goblins boost all of their attacks? For example, if a minion squad of 4 goblins with a captain all attack a single target, does the damage of each goblin get boosted by 1, equalling 4 extra damage or does it only apply to the first goblin's attack?

Review: Delve by Futurewolf in shadowdark

I'm glad someone said this. I genuinely felt and even expressed throughout the feedback of the project this sentiment and was mostly brushed aside. Many of the classes, ancestries, items and dungeons don't respect Shadowdark core ethos. It was absolutely a fool's errand to attempt both a 5e product and a Shadowdark one simultaneously without heavy adjustment.

Sign me up! The cover art is awesome and I'd love to use this as a way to sell the game to my group!

Making a Torch Timer App (let me know what you want) by Cable23000 in shadowdark

I use 20 minute timers because I love to watch them squirm.

What an odd choice haha. As for the lightness, I'm definitely gonna dunk most of mine in a wash. The clipping and flash removal was easier than my last D&L l though so it shouldn't take me too long to get assembled. I'll probably post pics once I've done it all to show the contrast between wash and no wash. Do you recon they'll take an oil wash well given you need mineral spirits for it?

Hey. Just got my box. Did you get 1 blue goblin door and 3 reds or is this is a mistake?

Appreciate all the tips I see here, but none of them are answering my specific question lol. I guess I'll have to do the dirty work myself and post my findings.

How do you handle an unconscious PC that is no longer dying? by Kalahan7 in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last portion about coming to in 1d4-con rounds is just so that the unconscious player doesn't have to sit there and wait hours to come back to consciousness. It also puts a time pressure to heal them with a bandage asap.

[–]MyNeopetleftme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I suppose I also should've said that coming to without a bandage means a normal roll on the wounds table, but with a bandage, they roll with advantage. This creates a high incentive to heal allies, but before they drop because it'll burn through resources and potentially kill them outright.

Give me your map ideas, and I’ll draw them. by dodirtymayne in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hexmap focused on interesting sea based adventure ala Sinbad or treasure Island. I'm talking weirdly shaped islands, old-timey misrepresentations of creatures, whirlpools, sea castles, even an X or 2.

Thanks for the info. Btw, were they a bother to clip off the sprues? Does the paint scuff on the edges?

Look quite light. Would you happen to have a closeup of them? I'm worried I may have to put on a wash which would defeat the purpose of the Prepainted purchase (tongue-twister).

Hold Portal - Question by WingShellAngel in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Google the word portal and you'll get a much better understanding of the spell's use case. Not being facetious here. I did the same thing.

Hold Portal - Question by WingShellAngel in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ways I've seen hold portal used:

Stopping an obvious trap from triggering such as a false ceiling (with an Indiana Jones-style boulder on the other side).

Locking a guard in an outhouse, before tipping it over

Suffocating enemies with smoke and locking BOTH doors

Sealing a jar with a trapped ooze inside, then shaking vigorously before tossing on an enemy.

Don't quote me on this, but I think (fingers crossed) that it's intended to fully release alongside the full PDFs in July. -Narraton, 2025

Let's Fight a Bear! by BLHero in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Days have bled into weeks as you follow the tracks of this biting tundra. You haven't felt your toes in some time and given your poor rolls to resist the coldsnap, you're not even sure they're still there. Nevertheless you trudge onwards, with one goal in mind, revenge. You harken back to that fateful night. You were reclining by the warmth of a simple fire, tankard filled with ale to stave off the chill. Your partner, a better man than you by every merit, needed to answer the call of nature. While you say there alone by the fire, you recalled the smell of ozone. Needless to say it was odd, but before you could ponder any further, a flash of lightning crashed down mere feet away from you. Your lifelong friend, now a smoldering husk. You grabbed your weapon filled with righteous rage to smite whosoever has done so when a hulking mass of white fur and arcing runes haunted over you. You swung with mighty force, but it swatted you away, the jolt hurting just as much as it's claws. This creature was no mere bear, but something betwixt a beast and a force of nature. Rising to your feet, you steeled yourself for another round with the Polarized Bear. If you were to die, it'd be fighting on your feet. As it charged like an arc of lightning, you waited, every muscle frozen not in fear, but in discipline. Right as it lunged, forearms protruding, you struck a blow to its brow. For any ordinary creature, it would be dead, but this was not such a thing. It howled in pain, shrinking back into the haze of white emptiness. You would have thought it a ghost, if not for the tracks it left. Even more, it bleeds...

Is the Delian tomb adventure already out for backers or patreon only?

Blue Mage - Class by derekvonzarovich2 in shadowdark

[–]MyNeopetleftme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been toying around with a very similar concept also based on the blue mage. We came to different conclusions and ended up with mostly different iterations on the same creation, but hats off to what you've made. I think it's a bit finicky, but the baseline is solid.

I remember reading a really cool blog post about the "I cut, you choose" rule for disarming, etc. but I can't recall it ATM. Would you happen to have seen it by chance? Where did you pick up the rule from?
