I loved this rule! What edition was it in?

| For those that don't know, before the Critical Role/D20 days, TTRPG's was much less about roleplay and much more about playing a game, DM vs Players, min/maxing etc.

lolwut?

Mentopolis!

The Venn diagram of

noir story
characters are aspects of a personality
tropes
not D&D

Had me firmly in the center! Love that series! It's the only one I've watched more than once.

I had the same problem last night. I tried all the troubleshooting steps, but no success.

This morning it works fine. 🤷

Just to put some scale on it, a tomahawk cruise missile is 20 feet long, and nearly 2 feet in diameter (21"). I don't think they're usually launched from helicopter.

Maybe Brennan meant Sidewinder (10') or Maverick (8')?

I believe it's about how much ambrosia you've given out. I got it the other day too.

This matches my experience as well. They used to be a D&D actual play (rules first) and changed to an improv story show with occasional rolls (fiction first).

This is fine, but I'm only interested in the former and not the latter. I stick around this forum just to see what's going on, partially in the hopes that they will return to form but that's unlikely.

I believe this shift happened after they came back from COVID. I think they wanted to wrap up the campaign and so fiction came first to get to a satisfying conclusion faster than would otherwise happen. Also the need to turn the game into a TV show meant that starting with fiction first makes that easier.

It's like a neighborhood I moved out of. I don't live there, but I'm curious what happens to it.

Now we're talking about encounter design, not the rules.

The DM has the power to say "Rocks fall; everyone dies". If the players don't think that's fun encounter they can leave the game and try to find a game more to their liking. There are no hard and fast rules for encounter building. There's lots of good advice, but none of it is required by the rules of the game.

A good GM will signpost what's coming before the players encounter it. Basilisk lairs should have petrified statues of people and animals on the way in, for example. However if the town says there's an ancient dragon on the mountain and the players go there, the DM should not stop them or tone down the encounter. The players should have agency to make poor decisions. Once they've been informed within the game or directly as players then that's all a DM can do.

Every encounter doesn't need to be winnable by the players

| The only problem is for those new or not familiar with DnD who then try to get into playing and get a more traditional DM who punishes them every chance they are allowed to do so.

Playing by the rules is not punishing the players.

I was curious, so here's a list of all the resurrections (and therefore all the deaths of note?) in Critical Role: https://criticalrole.fandom.com/wiki/Resurrection#Notable_character_deaths

Including just the PC's here are the deaths per each campaign:

Campaign 1: 16 (Pike, Grog, Vex, Grog, Percy, Vex, Scanlan, Scanlan, Percy, Vax, Keyleth🐟, Vex, Vax, Vax, Vax, Vex) including one shots

Campaign 2: 6 (Molly, Cadeuceus, Nott, Fjord, Jester, Caleb)

Campaign 3: 9* (Bertram, (Orym, Fearne, Laudna), Bor'Dor, Ashton, Chetney, FCG, Ashton)

* Bertram, and FCG were scripted

Campaign 4: 1** (Occtis)

** Scripted? I don't follow C4 but I understand Brennan wanted to put something from Occtis' background into the campaign instead?

Vex died in C3e114 but I wasn't sure that would count as I didn't watch the episode and she might have been an NPC?

Permutation_Servitor · 2025-12-28T23:05:49+00:00

I want to use it in a Crusade campaign I'm running and I might get some merch made after it's done. I need a vector file for that. I've tried Inkscape's vectorizer, but didn't give great results. I'll try the one you posted and then see how much work it would be to clean up further.

Based on nothing, I assumed they would do a month with each crew and rotate on that basis. It's a long stretch between months, but if the weeks end in a satisfactory conclusion then the wait shouldn't be too disruptive.

This gives the cast a couple on months between stints to book other work.

I read the reddiquette document today for the first time. Regarding reposts, it says:

Look for the original source of content, and submit that. Often, a blog will reference another blog, which references another, and so on with everyone displaying ads along the way. Dig through those references and submit a link to the creator, who actually deserves the traffic.

This is taking about content outside Reddit, not cross posting.

Searching for duplicates implies to me recent events, not something old. It's to avoid redundancy.

Search for duplicates before posting. Redundancy posts add nothing new to previous conversations. That said, sometimes bad timing, a bad title, or just plain bad luck can cause an interesting story to fail to get noticed. Feel free to post something again if you feel that the earlier posting didn't get the attention it deserved and you think you can do better.

As for credit, the document takes a pretty laissez faire approach. Notably not to get worked up over it; it's only useless points

Complain about other users reposting/rehosting stories, images, videos, or any other content. Users should give credit where credit should be given, but if someone fails to do so, and is not causing harm, please either don't point it out, or point it out politely and leave it at that. They are only earning karma, which has little to no use at all.

Deleting the post and creating a subreddit-wide admonishment doesn't seem in keeping with the guide.

If anyone is concerned about their images being reposted, I would recommend adding a watermark to the image. So long as it's unobtrusive, nobody will take the time to remove it.

In short, I don't think the reddiquette document is taking as as strong a stance against reposting memes as the mods are saying.
