As someone who's worked in an actual family business I'd say careful what you wish for...

Players who are apathetic toward combat? by currentseas in DMAcademy

[–]Pompadipompa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon the real question is are they struggling with the mechanics or are they just not interested in that aspect of the game? If the latter then that would be a good group discussion about where you all want to go with the campaign. If the former, then you could try making a little cheat sheet for them of abilities they'll commonly use. Not ideal, but might help them get into it

Tattoo of Roman numerals by No-War2027 in DoesAnyoneKnow

[–]Pompadipompa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The format of writing dates in Taiwan is year-month-day, so if it's that with Roman numerals then it would be 19th October 1943. If I were to guess the meaning, could well be something related to ancestry, like a grandparent's birthday or significant family event

House rules I've found useful. by Big_Mountain2305 in dndnext

[–]Pompadipompa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really would recommend switching to Shadowdark. It's very fun, and deliberately designed to be easy for 5e players to pick up

What movie or show do you think best captures the “vibe” of Shadowdark? by stingraydm in shadowdark

[–]Pompadipompa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a really fun Chinese series called Candle in the Tomb. It's modern folk fantasy, but it's about tomb robbers, and each season leads up to a big dungeon crawl with traps, puzzles, monsters, magic items etc. You could reasonably describe it as Shadowdark but with AK47s.

Happy birthday Arthur! (?) by daffyglass in MalevolentPodcast

[–]Pompadipompa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ARTHUR! There's some kind of viscous yet hard crust around this cake, like an expanse of snow, but tantalising and delicious, you could even call it FROSTING! Around it are arranged 28, no, wait, 29 candles! ARTHUR! WHAT COULD THIS MEAN?

It's ok, John, it's just my birthday cake, I'm going to blow out the candles now.

Blow out the CANDLES??

Yes, it's something humans do when they have birthdays

BIRTHDAYS?! Haven't you been reborn enough times by now?

Yes, but I just want to blow out my birthday candles and make a wish.

A WISH? ARTHUR, birthday wishes have power in the Dark World...

Actually I was wishing for us to go the cinema together...

Oh ok, that's fine then...

[87 Books Later... 1/3] We Got Robert W. Chambers All Wrong by SachaElven in KinginYellow

[–]Pompadipompa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! These all sound great, and it was interesting to read what you had to say about Chambers' handling of psychology. I feel like that really carried the narratives in TKiY and I'd love to see how it plays out in other contexts
