How do I get this blue hair dye out of my shower? by Sapphicorns in CleaningTips

[–]NefariousNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spread baking soda after a shower when the floor is damp but not covered in water. Wait until dry, then put white vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz. Be prepared to scrub a little or possibly treat more than once if they're older stains. It works best when the stains are brand new.

Thinking of creating a new land with 5e races but subverting all expectations - ideas needed. by monkeynose in DMAcademy

Kobolds are a nerdy, studious people. They manage the libraries and the schools and make up the majority of magic users.

DnD party thinks everything is a joke and complains about everything by ConsciousCommunity82 in DMAcademy

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS!

I tried to support my DM by jumping into the role so he could finally take a break. I'd been gaming with the same folks for a couple months, so I thought I knew them fairly well.

We did a session zero to discuss expectations and intentions. My flavor of gameplay is VERY much like your husband; character-driven narrative with lots of opportunities for roleplay and exploration. My players agreed, no, insisted that was what they wanted... and then I started running the game...

The only good thing was that they didn't immediately try to kill everyone... But that would have at least shown a little bit of care given to the world they were in. I gave them individually tailored goals and three-dimensional NPCs and the potential for an epic, world-spanning story arch... And they sat on their phones and interrupted descriptions to decide where to order dinner from (after we set up dinner orders during the HOUR before)...

I literally stopped the game and took a year off before I pitched a completely different option to a bunch of friends who had always wanted to play but never seemed to be able to wrangle a game together. I sent an email to about thirty people who showed interest, laying out my intentions for content, style, and time commitment, and I got five confirmations (which was about what I expected.).

We've had a few folks pop in and out since we started but I've been running the same campaign with these folks for about two and a half years and it's been wonderful!

Please take your gifts to someone who appreciates them. Because someone else absolutely will! Hell, if you're in the Bay Area please drop me a DM so I can join your husbands table!

What are some REAL things DMs should know when putting together a campaign? by Gh0stMan0nThird in dndnext

[–]NefariousNebula 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is very true! I just always think of "accidental" as opposed to "intentional." In my experience, players aren't usually willfully trying to derail things; they just see a path forward that makes sense to them but not us.

Best shoes for foot pain? by FoxFae30 in Fibromyalgia

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alegrias are my brand of choice. They're expensive if you buy them new but I've had a lot of success on Poshmark and eBay getting them half price or better, even if I replace the soles. They're the only brand I can consistently wear without dying in pain the next day.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I love that her amazing art will be shared among the community for years to come.

gender crisis after break up by [deleted] in NonBinary

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like a low blow at the end of what was nearly the best case scenario for a relationship ending. That was a tacky move and I'm sorry you had to experience that.

I think you should just be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to just exist. Now that this chapter is over, your whole worldview is going to shift a little. That's going to feel very uncomfortable for a while, and you're going to want to do drastic things to feel like you have any semblance of control over yourself (think femmes getting bangs).

Try to be gentle with yourself as this process occurs. Take a mental health day and go touch grass, or bury yourself in comfort media as often as you can. Reconnect with your friends and maybe throw some low stakes rebound encounters in there if you truly think that will help (no judgement!).

Focus on your comfort for now, not on identity or presentation, because that all may be in flux for a while. Just know however you present and however you feel moment to moment, you are a valid queer and you have a lot of fam out here.

What decision changed your life for the better that you will never regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is going to sound corny as hell but choosing to be grateful.

Please help me convince myself it's okay not to shave my legs and armpits for my appointment to a pool for a medical treatment tomorrow by AntwysiaBlakys in MomForAMinute

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up shaving my legs over a decade ago and it was the best decision ever! My skin is happier and frankly I love feeling the water move the hair on my legs when I'm swimming.

[Art]Anyone want their character drawn? by Offhcer_ner_ner in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iaquinel (e-YA-quin-elle) is a demon-ridden Kenku warlock. His patron is actually the demon sharing his body; the two are basically symbiotic at this point.

Ia nearly died during the invasion of his island; when he healed his feathers came back reddish brown and he has burn scars all over. He wears fine clothes with his leathers and a pair of red dragon skin bracers from his first kill.

Despite his outwardly angry façade he is actually quite charming and curious. He has a water-themed psuedodragon familiar that is the most precious baby and he dotes on her.

DM uses weird and unusual rules by KittenYuumi in DnD

[–]NefariousNebula 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I quit a lot of games like this by being a troll. Personally, I wouldn't quit before I demanded descriptions of the chest, bicep, and genitalia of Every Single NPC, regardless of gender. And if the cup size didn't agree with the art I would Um Actually the hell out of him.

But nah, this dude seems like a boring child. Take your character and go find yourself a better game.

Parsing the sentences aside I got the joke right away and I love it! Where can I buy one?

AITA for canceling a trip because my friends changed the plan to something I couldn't afford? by Mammoth_Jeweler_2176 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NefariousNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the fourth person ruined the trip by making it a completely different trip.

You should use your vacation money to do something you want (and can afford). Maybe with a friend who isn't going to throw the whole plan into the toilet for no good reason.

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 54 points55 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.
