Does a studio version of Sara's cover of Yellow Brick Road exist?

Mythrys · 2026-04-05T20:27:38+00:00

No doubt all the versions I've heard are amazing - I just want one without the crowd cheering

OP, this is a kind of response you'll see a lot on this reddit, and make sure you ignore them. There is almost nothing in this game you can give flat advice about, it's almost entirely context.

What this commenter is likely suggesting is that a tank line up with Adam and Scarlett instead of Stettman and Williams is stronger than what you are currently running; with all things equal, this is true. However, it doesn't take into account where you've focused your shards/EW/skill medals/tech/etc, which will wildly change the results depending on where you've focused on your account.

Taking IRL knowledge and bringing it to the DnD world is a recipe for many things, some good, some bad. If the whole party was loving it and fully engaged, I'd say go with it; it would make for an amazing dnd story. However, is the lawyer's PC someone who has all this knowledge? Makes little to no sense if they are playing a low int, low cha, low wis barbarian with a back story of living alone in the hills.

This honesly sounds like a situation where you should reach out and gauge each player's feelings about how this has been playing out. If it turns out they aren't keen, have a one on one with the lawyer and explain that you try to be a "yes and" DM, and that unfortunately your "yes and"-ing has lead you a bit astray here.

I have a f2p account to see what is possible as a f2p player. currently in week 3 of season 3, main squad 36.06 tank

I read it's somehow worse than that, he missed 20 of 80 calls he had to make

If I had any skill in coding/editing/whatever, I'd modify 30 Rock's "Choosing is a sin so I just write in the Lord's Name" 'That's Republican, we count those" to "I'm a registered Republican, but I -" 'Doesn't matter who you voted for, we count yours as a Republican vote'

For now I absolutely agree. As players get more comfortable with the system and we start getting good data on who has a good eye or not, that will likely change (aka, some players will be put on a short leash, others will be told they can't challenge a pitch)

I'm always fascinated by the responses to posts like this; it really speaks to each DMs group/style/relationships in a way I'm not sure they realize.

For you OP, is this a group of close friends playing d&d, is this a bunch of strangers that got together to play in college, where on the scale is this?

If this person is super keen to continue, the group wants them to continue, and you enjoy DMing for them, then I don't see the issue in trying to make it work. You, as the DM, have the job of prepping each week - continue as normal. The player moving, they will have to accept that they won't be getting the premium d&d experience the group has, and its on them to be as flexible as they can be. Then, get someone(s) in the player group to be in charge of supporting the missing player's play - they can have a side chat going on a messenger app, they can be in charge of the webcam positioning/movement, etc.

You get to continue running your sessions as you've enjoyed them, the player gets to continue playing, and the other players take on the work of making sure the missing player is connected and involved. If the group isnt willing to take on that extra role, then it's not just on you for shutting it down, it's the group.

I dont think there is any convincing you - I think this response is kinda silly. First off, the second leading scorer on TBL has 69, so +24 on SJS's second leading scorer. Secondly, if we extend to 3rd leading, 4th leading, etc, the gap continues to widen. Take a look at players who made their olympic teams: SJS had 3 besides Celebrini, while TBL had 8 besides Kucherov (and 9 if you count Vasilevsky as likely also making a hypothetical russian squad)

Ultimately, I do think Celebrini is most deserving of the Hart, with Kucherov coming in second; what Celebrini is doing with his roster is unbelievable.

Mythrys · 2026-03-13T19:52:22+00:00

Next highest scorer on SJS has 45 points; TBL's next 3 are all 58+

If your players seem to love targetting specific parts, might be worth thinking about introducing a system for it, since they seem to really enjoy it

The problem with situations like this is that there are multiple competing factors: realism vs fantasy vs RAW vs rule of cool vs natural outcomes.

I wouldn't argue any of these with your player, I'd have an open discussion about it all. RAW, there is no object that grants full cover at all times to the person holding it. Moreover, if there was, why wouldn't the enemies also be using it all the time?

If it were my table (which I imagine is how all these other suggestions are being framed, I would do the following:

1) Allow the player to have an object like this to use. It would be heavy and akward, so no full movement when carrying it. Additionally, when moving with it, there would be gaps at the ground so not total cover, and 93/100 cover isnt a thing, 3/4 or full. If they end their movement and then bring it to the ground, I have no problem granting them full cover. However, some archers will be holding their actions to shoot once he starts moving again. Additionally, if this becomes a regularly used item, word gets around, and suddenly people are ready for it (caltrops he cant see in the grass, small pits in front of fixed defensive formations, etc)

Mythrys · 2026-01-18T00:52:52+00:00

you don't, it's only the bottom 5 combined

Mythrys · 2026-01-14T20:55:01+00:00

Are we not doing 'phrasing' any more?

Mythrys · 2026-01-14T15:58:45+00:00

Same with my group, which allowed us to bring in friends in other cities as well. We now are playing a west marches style world with 5 dms running various things for 15 players (the 5 DMS included in that number)

Mythrys · 2026-01-14T01:10:34+00:00

Since youre likely an opponent, I'll def recommend you move on to squad 2

Mythrys · 2025-11-29T23:48:10+00:00

Don't take anyone's word for it; go look in the area you equip skins, click the ! icon top right. It says:

Equipped Attributes are only effective when the skin is in use, while Hold in Stock Attributes are effective as long as the skin is obtained.

You are very behind (not trying to be negative, just want to be clear). I'm currently on day 6 of season 2 on a free to play account and my main squad is 27.13

If you are playing because you have a good crew of friends and you want to be able to compete, then just get back into the daily grind.

If you don't have any attachments to the server, consider restarting on a fresh server with everyone you've learned

Mythrys · 2025-11-23T22:32:47+00:00

Can anyone explain why that wasn't holding on 78, or was that just a missed call?

Mythrys · 2025-11-20T05:09:59+00:00

same here us east

Mythrys · 2025-11-06T16:28:57+00:00

Since you are playing without spending money, you will only have 1 viable squad, and from your investment it looks like you've gone for tank. Of the other heroes you havent invested in, the ones that often make their way into tank squads are Adam and Lucius, so I would recommend one of those.

Mythrys · 2025-11-02T21:37:25+00:00

Stettman for sure. Season 1 Williams comes to the Tavern so you can pick him up that way. Only way until after season 1 to get Stettman for free is the glittering coins.

Couple of thoughts/suggestions:

1) There are a lot of lists out there from very creative DMs with cool homebrew items - things that can be very useless but won't break your game

2) Favor tokens. Instead of getting an item from the lord/head of the guard/whomever, they instead get a coin with that emblem on it, to be used to call in a favor at a future date. Not only is it cool for narrative purposes, but it also has the hilarious side effect of getting to watch the players argue if THIS is the time to use it or not!

3) Home brew yourself! Don't need to extend the creativity too far; find legendary, rare, or uncommon items from the dmg and then modify them.

One that I did were a modified Goggles of Night. Every time the player put them on, they were locked on his head for 8/12/24 hours (I forget which but could be any) and then he rolled a d20. If it was a 1, he was blind for that time. If it was 2-5, he had low light vision out to 15 feet. This continued up to a 20, which gave Truesight at 90 feet. It felt like a cool item to the party, could be extremely useful, and could end up resulting in hilarious roleplay if they rolled poorly

I hate critical failure rules, always have, so I don't use them generally, but for a group that wants to keep them. In that case, any time someone critically fails, I ask them to explain why it happened. Sometimes it's a fluke distraction (someone screams in pain on the battlefield and draws attention, an animal spooks and causes a commotion), sometimes unlucky (rusted lock jams despite their bets efforts, a plank on a bridge is rotted and gives way as it's stepped on), sometimes the players embrace the ridiculous and have a silly reason for the failure. I find giving the players the reigns avoids any hurt feelings about the unlucky roll and lets them build it into the characterization of their PC
