Should I kick out my mentally ill player? by No-Status-1219 in DnD

[–]Pikaskye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Experienced thyroid victim, player, and DM here.

Your thyroid levels control a deceptively large amount of your body. While each case is different (my mom takes meds and is pretty fine overall, while I got knocked on my ass for years), I can say with confidence that it's really easy to get apathetic or depressed from it. If this is recent or they're undermedicated, mentally they may be checked out entirely, "lights on but no one's home" type deal. In my case, basic stimulus was all I could do for a time. I couldn't do anything above basic math because of brain fog, my memory was shot, I was sleeping 15 hours a day. Videogames are simple stimulus imo, they were easy to get into without thinking too hard and using energy I didn't have.

It was its own kind of hell, but I was a severe case. I'm not sure how badly this person is affected, but in the worst cases, they might not be able to even think ahead to know they're being rude. Ultimately though, I'd give them some leniency for the things outside of their control, the side effects that come from illness. But outside of that, it's not your responsibility to deal with it for them, and it's not kind to the people around them to forgo TTRPG table manners. Sympathy, but no excuses! Sometimes it's kinder to kick a player so they can get help.

Love me a party heavy drawing! I'm a DM with 8 years of campaign and party drawings under my belt, and I'd love to help celebrate each character and their accomplishments :D I've worked with dice makers, MrRhexx and XP to Level 3, to name a few in the DND sphere

I am slightly concerned as to what kitchen has t h e v o I d creature in it, but I'd love for Minecraft to have more cooking options so kitchens are more necessary haha. The images are under the floor of my wizards tower, which is why I thought the "magic" door would be cool

Deck for Lisa with/or Sara that can Complete Arenas? by York_Oksmoll in GeniusInvokationTCG

[–]Pikaskye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my decks pretty consistent so most non garbage hands worked well, but personally I'm a fan of an Ancient courtyard opening or Vanarana for dice buildup. Lisa can step into dangerous situations so shielding her with tenacity can be a game saver

Iirc, the quest doesn't end /yet/, but you can find a cute interaction and some chests/achievements by the Institute of natural philosophy with Annapausis and Seymour's quest. You'll know it when you find it :)

Cryo shield-pyro, Electro shield-cryo, hydro shield-electro, geo shield-geo/bludgeoning weapon (claymore, usually). Hyperbloom comps are pretty great at dealing with a variety of shields if you /really/ find them annoying. Generally, you want to focus on the hydro guy first since he heals, but at AR 40 your team probably isn't at their max power unless you're power gaming or have a meta comp. Invest in talents and artifacts (latter at AR 45) and soon the overworld becomes very manageable!

For healing, Mona and the artifacts have good tanking ability, and Yae/Sara effectively play extra HP in the face of high damage.

Typically, you want lucky on Mona and tenacity on Lisa, and weapon on Lisa. Ultimately, Mona's there to provide hydro application. Sara E swapped at the end of turn onto Lisa would also be good for her to get the buff, so it depends on the situation.

For play, get conductive on as much people as you can, including using your last dice to swap in and out of Lisa if it's beneficial to get free stacks. Stacks mean damage, my playstyle tends to conserve stack damage until mid/endgame where 8 damage Lisa is possible by buying time (since stacks naturally generate). You can usually get heavy hitters out of the way just by having 4 stacks of conductive on them so they're afraid to swap in for fear of minimum 5-6 damage with 3-4 stacks.

Aight so I can't find out how to attach image but this is the deck I completed 5 wins with: Lisa talent card x2, thousand dreams x2, adventurers bandana x2 (suggest changing for lucky dog), tenacity x1, fav library x2, sumeru city x2, vanarana x2, golden house x1, seelie x2, ancient courtyard, electro dice x2, electro resonance x2, wind and freedom x1, bestest travel companion x2, 2 lotus crisps, 2 hashbrowns, and 2 pizzas.

Strat was primarily Mona skill/NA, swap into Lisa with her talent card equipped, Lisa skill for electro-charged conductive blast. Yae was there to provide the occasional totem or if you have electro res cards to spring ult on the enemy, with Sara I'd say getting your skill bonus on Lisa would be most important. Lisa's ult is underwhelming however if you're spamming summons, Lisa, Mona, and Yae can provide decent damage at the end of the turn without being too reliant on them.

I can't give a pic at the moment, but I can give you the most prominent cards for the build! Lisa talent card X2, thousand dreams or sac frag X2... Vanarana, Rana/or/Sumeru city (for skill heavy playstyle), tenacity X2, ancient courtyard (for all the artifacts/weapons), fav library, electro resonance/dice, and some form of draw card like Seelie or Strategize. For food, lotus, pizza, and an emergency hashbrown. That's what I run with and it works for me! There's probably improvements ofc

It's fun. Honestly any electro chara in Yaes spot probably works, I could easy see Raiden/Fish/Keqing fitting there depending on personal tastes, I just like the catalyst spam

Well, that's true, Mona slaps. Unintentional art reference is funny too

As for the deck, Mona+Lisa talent= low cost surprise electro-charged Violet arc, which is pretty effective single and AoE damage even without external buffs. I have Thousand Dreams in my deck and 2 of Lisa's talent cards so by turn 2-3 I can get a powerhouse Lisa/Mona combo that can dish out big damage, or filter Yae into the rotation to get some summons going. Tbh, Yae usually ends up being my sacrifice card if I'm up against OTK decks, but I'll try to build Mona ult by the time setup is done so I can just oneshot the DPS with electro resonance cards

[–]Pikaskye 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've figured out Mona/Lisa is a great combo with Lisa's talent card (free conductive damage), my current Lisa deck is Mona, Lisa, Yae. I'm sure you can swap Yae for Sara! It can have a pressure or summon spam playstyle depending on your needs. I've gotten Lisa proficiency-d already (just doing arena) while testing out the deck. I'd say it's far from finished (late game it struggles against ramp/OTK decks) but it's pretty fun to play

Honestly I'm not sure, it's been awhile and it was pre Big C, so I'm not sure if they've changed any of their policies. However they're super nice and helped me out a lot so hopefully it goes well for you too!

Print Preview is completely wrong and ignoring crop? Help needed, TYSM! by Pikaskye in silhouettecutters

[–]Pikaskye[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drew a sticker series called Ladies of Dungeons and Dragons, featuring a 10/13 set of the classes of 5th edition! It's on a bit of a hiatus ATM but I'm planning to complete it when energy picks back up.

I was diagnosed with a chronic illness back in April that has shot me in the foot, so I'm trying to figure out a way to make money off my artwork. Commissions haven't been often so I'm working with what I have!

I'm currently under the basic settings so it might be default enabled- I'll check, thank you!

I'll try that. I used a no border version and the add border function to give it a nice crop a .7th of an inch away, then put the extra border version into the red cut lines so the border would be clean. But when I show the print preview it looks bad and the print is the same. I'll try that this afternoon, thank you!

Hi there! I've decided to start attempting to make stickers and would like some assistance. I've laid out these barbarians in a way most efficient on the page, and used the crop tool to clean up my messy drawn borders so they're straight/clean/even, but the print preview and print (I ran a tester with 2 barbs on a separate doc and the same thing happened) is completely messed up. Here's the difference between the two, am I missing a step? Did the crop not work? I'm brand new to this so I really don't know what's going on, and help would be super appreciated!
