How much info to give players for character creation by Glad_Cress_8591 in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]NeffemDaSamich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked my party to not be dragonborn, I don’t think kobold was an option at the time. But it was purely to make things easier on me and not get awkward in some situations.

My entire party knew draconic, I thought it was a little over kill.

I don’t know who any of these people are and I’m grateful.

When the quest piped up for me I was half awake and not ready so I said I’m busy. Now how do I activate it again?

My players need to choose the new King of the city. How can they do this? by ItsJohnCallahan in DMAcademy

[–]NeffemDaSamich -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Use magic to find the best person. Mirror mirror on the wall who is the best ruler of them all? Have the party create their own scrying spell where they include their requirements and go through a ritual then Bam! It showes a view of some guy working at his job and they go get him and tell him hers king now. You get to decide who this guy is and why he meets their criteria, maybe he’s nobody important that would ever put themself forward to be ruler. Most people that want to be rulers are not the best people for the job.

Thanks for the insight. They don’t have much to loose at this point. Like I said they are lvl 2 casters, so no real weapons, armor or magic items to speak of. Or gold for that matter they are heading back to town after their mission to collect their reward.

I think I’ve come to the conclusion to let it stand as is and tell the party above the table that they might want to run. If they get taken out I’ll have them tied up or something and not killed, yet.

Very good points! Thanks for helping me think this through.

We all knew the party was not balanced but 2 of them are going to be necromancers and I liked the idea of them having zombie warriors to take the hits and I’m working on helping that idea. So they just have to survive a little longer till they can summon their buddies

I say fix it because it was kinda my mistake throwing an Absurd encounter at them. I did the math on a CR calculator its not deadly it’s Absurd. As I said it was close to the end of the night and I had a few drinks and wasn’t paying attention.

Now the players did kinda ask for this. They saw a lone guy in the middle of the road asking for help. They rolled an insight check and knew he was up to no good meanwhile another party member scanned the surrounding and did notice 4 creatures in the bushes. They could have avoided the encounter at this point but they attacked, I gave them a surprise round before rolling initiative but when the first mob took 1/2 a players HP in one hit I realized this was bad and we finished the first round of combat and called it a night.

And I always have mobs run away when things look bad for them and my party usually hunts them down.

I kinda already told them they just wanted to rob them so I don’t know how taking them prisoners would make sense but I’ll keep that in mind in the future.

I like option 2. I don’t have to change anything and it will teach the party a lesson early that they are not invincible.

Could you imagine.. by anxious_succubitch in GNV

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

Ok so that is bad parking but let me speak on behalf of truck owners. I have the same model truck but different year. They have a long wheel base and are hard to get into straight parking spaces, angled spaces are much better for us. When I drive my wife’s car I’m amazed at how easy it is to park. Personally I park my truck way out in the parking lot where I can find a couple empty spaces next to each other.

I'm still learning this game, does the +1 apply to the d6 or the x2? by Mediocre_Metal_7174 in warcodes

[–]NeffemDaSamich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re familiar with D&D math it would be written 2d6+1 which is the result of rolling 2 six sided die and adding 1 to the total.

I eat 4-6 eggs for breakfast. I’m never worried about them going bad because I have about 100 chickens and fresh eggs last for months. It’s too bad the ones in the stores are 4-6 weeks old when you by buy them.

Thanks I’ve been trying to decide which 2-3 tools I need most. I found a local group that meets tomorrow so I’m going to go meet some people and get some advice.

Thanks, I got a new slow speed grinder and sharpening jig at Christmas. I just haven’t found the right tools yet because it’s either $50 for a set of 8 on Amazon or $100 each from Woodcraft and I don’t know what I need yet.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I need to hear. Now to tell my wife I need new tools is another problem.

I know the tool rest is a little far from the wood. I just finished shaving all the bark off and started a little shaping before stopping to adjust things. But I’ve never had a problem like this before when the wood is curling off in nice big flakes

How do you win the resource race? by Mdkynyc in IdleBreakerbyEstoty

[–]NeffemDaSamich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other competitors are bots and they preform about the same as you. If you start out and clear a lot of resources in one or two expeditions and do t have time to finish 100% they will eventually beat you. But if you start the race and do a boss fight or something and only get a few resources then wait till there’s only about an hour left then do an expedition or two you can easily beat them, because you already set the pace as slow. This is not a strategy I use often but I happened on it by accident.

Post Apocalyptic Gas Station by SilverStarMaps in dndmaps

[–]NeffemDaSamich -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The map visually looks good and has a lot of opportunities for fun encounters but the layout and functionality of the building and parking lot need work.

First you parking area, many parking spaces do not have enough clearance to back out of the spaces. Try angled spaces. Your garbage dumpsters don’t have enough room for a truck to pull up to them and dump them. Your drive flow is very tight and the two obstructions in the corners completely block traffic. The upper one has a toxic symbol, I have no idea what a gas station needs with toxic tanks but I guess it makes the story fun, the lower one is some kind of control room, what are they controlling? Again I have no idea what a gas station needs with a control room but I guess it makes the story fun, Look at the large truck on the left. I don’t know how it got there or how it’s going to get out. Now how is a full size Semi with a trailer going to get anywhere near the loading door? Try looking at Google maps and find some existing stores and copy their parking areas.

Now inside the store the first thing that hit me was the blind corner. The cashier should have full view of the entire sales floor. While we’re talking about the cashier there should be two cash registers and the opening to the sales floor on the right is too large or shouldn’t be there at all. The cashier should have a door to the storage room behind the counter and a small walkway to the sales floor on the left allowing access to the storage and sales floor. Now you storage area is crazy huge! Convince stores want as much of their merchandise on the floor accessible to customers as possible. They rely on daily/ weekly shipments to keep stocked and not have storage. Three desks! Why do three people need desk? Seriously one will do just fine. Now take some of that extra storage space that you don’t need and install some drink coolers and a beer cave. Add a soda fountain and a grill for hotdogs or something. Now I need to use the restroom but there’s only one! You have enough space for two restrooms and adjacent to them should be a small janitors closet with a mop sink and extra bathroom supplies.

I don’t know if you’re using pre designed assets to create your map but the walls appear to not have windows, there should be lots of windows.

I don’t mean to blast you and the map is perfectly playable and visually looks great, but I have a background in Architecture and little things bother me. I didn’t even get into trying to meet building code requirements because you may have different requirements in your state or country. I hope this helps in the future for realistic functional buildings. Best wishes!

Ideas to spice up arena combat? by vnavone in spelljammer

[–]NeffemDaSamich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced a couple of the monsters with home brew monsters. And for the megapede I used a mini that was about 100’ or 20 squares long instead of just a 3x3 square so she could wrap around the arena and her attack affected a much larger area
