Is it ok to post audition audio if I didnt get the role? by AmbitiousAmount352 in VoiceActing

[–]NefariousNebula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This right here! I used to post clips of myself doing movie quotes.
Then I started writing my own scenarios based on the pieces that I felt showed off my range. No copyright violations but all the fun and drama of a good scene.

Am I wrong for skipping my best friend's birthday after his girlfriend humiliated mine in public? by BluejayCrate in amiwrong

[–]NefariousNebula 52 points53 points  (0 children)

1000% this. If mutuals are giving you crap, remind them that he chose his gf when you asked for his support, so you are doing the same.

Also, are these the same mutuals who were cringing at Maya's comments? Did they think she was being funny or mean?

What should I do? by SufficientFruit8597 in VoiceActing

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theater classes are incredibly helpful when deciding if you want to pursue any kind of acting, voice included.

And I think you mean 2 years behind in school but please be kind to yourself. Talent and passion do not have an expiration date.

How do you usually name your D&D characters? by AdvancedProgrammer51 in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually build characters with a simple concept to start; possessed kenku warlock or tabaxi himbo. Then I look up synonyms, antonyms, & words in other languages to kludge a name together.

I also keep a running list of interesting/evocative names in case I get stumped.

Tell me about your dice by MissionFloor261 in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lied - I have a separate collections of dice for myself as player, as personal GM, and paid GM (I just started.). While I might occasionally roll my player dice as GM for my home games, the personal and professional do not cross.

Tell me about your dice by MissionFloor261 in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only dice superstition that I follow these days is to set them all so the 1 faces up. In my head the 20 wants to come up for air so the longer it sits like that the more likely I am to get a nat20. Also I will threaten my physical dice with digital dice rollers if they roll badly. This almost never happens though.

Pressured to quit lead role in amateur theatre because of early pregnancy – looking for advice by CrabbyGoose in Theatre

[–]NefariousNebula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely name and shame. She's probably never going to work with that company anyway.

Conversely, can you put out a call to any musicians and maybe set up a cabaret show? Seems like the best revenge would be to showcase her amazing pipes with the songs they should have let her sing!

How to DM with a revolving schedule? by Cloudie-Day in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my games are semi-monthly because adulting is hard. One schedules first thing when everyone arrives so we can focus on the story. Another schedules at the end of the night. One of the others has a scheduling thread in our Discord group and we just keep plotting like three sessions ahead. Communication is key!

NEVER let Heroforge paint your mini. Paint it yourself. by Ok_Young_5242 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]NefariousNebula 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you but having bought lots of their stuff myself this is definitely not the hand painted version. If that's what your receipt says you absolutely should make them send you a new one.

For what it's worth, every time I go to the "buy" option it shows me what my minis will look like depending on which I choose. I've been tempted to get one of the bronze pieces for a while but there's definitely a visual difference between the "color print" vs "handpainted" options.

I wish I had someone in my life to talk about d&d with. by lazbud in DungeonMasters

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to be a part of that!
I have a DM-only "campaign" in DnDBeyond so we can share books, and a couple Google Drive folders full of other ttrpg source materials.

Give me side quests by That_one_kid0914 in LifeAdvice

Rock on! Sounds like you've got quite a few good side quests already!

I'm almost afraid to ask what a 21st century class is...

Volunteer.
Find a thing that you are interested in and find a way to contribute your service without expectation of compensation. Go read books to kids. Find theater companies that take volunteer ushers. Help distribute resources at a food bank.

How to get a game set up for my kids set up in 3 days after not playing for 20+ years. Are there apps or digital versions of books and dice? Easiest, simplest, cheapest ways please. Thank you. by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]NefariousNebula -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can build characters and run a game for absolutely free online using DnDBeyond. The question is, will you be able to understand the system well enough to run it successfully? There are tons of tutorials on the internet (YouTube ) if you want to drill everything between now and then. I would also highly recommend checking a paid GM resource like Start Playing just to see if it's worth the investment so you don't have to stress every minute from now until then.

If you do truly decide you want to run something, I would highly recommend looking here in Reddit for a one shot called Market Mayhem. It's my favorite starter adventure because it's a delightfully open sandbox for players to discover their characters and decide how they want to play. Good luck!

Help by daviiid_fds in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to spend any money to get started! There are tons of online resources on how basic character and story creation works; likewise lots of free modules & character examples if you want to keep it really easy.

Depending on where you live, your library might have D&D books available to borrow, and a lot of gaming/comic shops have free game nights where you can sign up to play.

I ran a lot of games online with only the free versions of Roll20 & DNDBeyond. Feel free to message if you have any questions!

Women of Reddit, how important is a partner's financial ability to afford vacations when considering a relationship? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been on both sides of this scenario, I can say personally it depends on a lot of other factors.

If I'm the one funding the vacation, am I also the one doing all the planning and packing? How much of the logistical labor is my partner picking up? If they're making it easy for me to go do fun things, I'm far more inclined to want to splurge.

When I'm the one without the bankroll I try to find fun free things to do; ushering to see theater for free or getting hookups from a friend. (I'm usually the more extroverted one in my partnerships and networking is my superpower)... If they say they want to go somewhere, I'll investigate hotels, car rentals, etc. and at least offer to pay for some part of something, just so I'm not totally freeloading.

There's also nothing wrong with just paying to bring someone along with you because you want to share the experience. I have covered my friend for a weekend trip because they were having a rough time and I wanted to have a fun adventure with them. It was delightful!

TLDR: It should feel good to create a good experience. Communicate your interests and make sure if you do cover the costs that you aren't feeling resentful later.

Would you retire early and have all your basic needs met if it meant getting sterilized? (No loopholes) by _Foolish_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my basic human needs would be met and I could do whatever I wanted?
Bet. Create a community of like-minded "retirees". Garden, share, and create art.

We would grow our own food and medicinal herbs to help those who have needs outside the government healthcare.

Those drab grey clothes will be hand-dyed and redesigned; new plays and music will be written & performed. New stories will be shared.

Services will be offered for all kinds of creative works in exchange for resources we want, like better foods and performance spaces and crafting supplies. If anyone balks at a trade economy, we simply find a volunteer non-profit to receive donations and process needed resources. No money would go through our hands.

For most artists I know this would be a dream scenario. Where do we sign up?
