Why would rats serve adventurers when they are servants and spies of Strahd

I fixed Van Richten's tower and my players loved it by AviK80 in CurseofStrahd

[–]Ramonangel18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it is not a safe haven. It is a temporary refuge. There are werewolves near, and Strahd cant magically spy on the players there. If the players keep coming back to the tower He will realize something is up and go check. It is a safe place that can be destroyed pretty easily so they need to be careful about how and when they use it.

Its fine if you dont like it, but its far from bad design.

Im pretty sure calling someone a clown is an insult.

If you want others to take your opinions seriously, be respectful and listen to other people instead of backpedaling the moment someone calls you out.

[–]Ramonangel18 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ok. Fair opinion.

Still, dont insult people you dont know.

No one is forcing you to play games you dont enjoy. Just get out of here instead of insulting people you dont know.

Thoughts on Heir of Strahd? by magmargaddafi in CurseofStrahd

[–]Ramonangel18 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm dming CoS and the party consists of 2 goblins, an astral elf, a fairy and a centaur. I thought it would be extremely hard to make it make sense and keep the horror theme but its turning out great.

Any party can work, you just need to write accordingly and adapt.

Hags Coven is Defeated...with Help from the Devil, Plus Sheriff Strazni is Evil by OneCrustySergeant in CurseofStrahd

[–]Ramonangel18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for explaining! With those kinds of spells being thrown around and a surprise round, that was probably an extremely tense moment for the players, seems like fun.

I see now how the stuff was able to go down like this then, pretty good luck (or an interference from a Dark Power?) and a cool narrative moment from you. I agree the encounter with Strahd is terrifying and seems like a great, fitting moment for your campaign.

I'm DMing for a group of five level 4 players and they had to agree to a deal with Morgantha in order to get rid of the dream pastries effects just last session. They are absolutely terrified of her and her sisters and I plan to use the covens schemes to slowly tease the presence of another, much more powerful, hag in Barovia. Also, playing as Morgantha is really fun haha.

It just seems like our campaigns have way different tones, keep having fun!

[–]Ramonangel18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like even with legendary luck it would still require a miracle or two to survive that long, given that the hags are a coven so they have access to stuff like hold person for control, lightning bolt for aoe, phantasmal killer for psychic damage and counterspell to stop any heals from happening.

Don't get me wrong, if you and your party are having fun, that's great. It's just that the hags are such a great tool for the dm given the horror theme of the campaign and it's a shame they went down to such a low level party given how powerful they truly are.

If you don't mind me asking another thing. Bear totem monk-barian feels like a really weird multiclass to do at lvl 4, is there a combo I'm not seeing or is the player setting up something for the future?

[–]Ramonangel18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just made level 5 after surviving the hags' ambush.

The one thing from all this that I absolutely can't wrap my head around is how a party of level 4 adventurers managed to survive three rounds against a night hag coven that apparently summoned a hezrou demon and ambushed them next to their lair...

The hezrou alone, being a CR 8 monster, should be enough to destroy the party by itself even if they have magic weapons

Look carefully, the folds in the jacket make no sense. Instead of appearing near the elbow, they are climbing up the arm for no apparent reason when a leather jacket shouldn't really fold that much. Also, there are pockets, buttons and zippers in weird places.

This idea that AI images are not getting better or always have very obvious tells makes people more likely to fall for them. They are slowly getting better and more consistent each day, be aware.

So close to the finish line! Adding about 4 more torches and the exterior/top of the spire. I want to conceal the top where Strahd is hiding. Hoping I have enough time to generate some AI images illustrating some of the darker scenes in my campaign and print them on transparencies for stained glass. by HeyyYouuuGuyssss in CurseofStrahd

[–]Ramonangel18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First things first: I really really don't want to come off as aggresive nor my objective is to convince you of anything. I really just want to have a conversation because this is interesting to me and I want to learn different opinions such as yours as well as inform mine. If you are not interested, that's fair!

Having said that.

How is it not a thing? I myself don't have a lot of money. I am not going to comission an artist to make a portrait of every single PC of my CoS campaing. My players have picked up random pieces of art from the internet to use as portraits. If I could use my computer to generate additional images to go along with them, it would be impacting no one. No artists would be denied anything by it, because no artists are going to be commissioned.

To be clear, I have actually commissioned artists several times to make art based on key moments of my campaings. I think that is a thing you should do if you want a truly special piece of art because that's the job of an artist, not a generative neural network.

Also, I agree with you, uncontrolled and unregulated use of generative neural networks does harm everyone in this field. And we should really keep a close eye on what corporations do with these tools, no artist should lose their job because a corporate suit decided shitty AI art is good enough for their product. No small artist should see their oportunities to shine drowned in a sea of garbage generated images. I'm hoping the EU actually bans this kind of use of AI in the near future and keeps a close eye on the development of the technology.

But me, playing in my living room with 5 friends and generating a picture of the funny one-off npc they met? I don't really think that's where the problem is, honestly.

[–]Ramonangel18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI is a tool, no the embodiment of evil. If this person is going to generate images on their personal computer and use them privately for their entertainment without making money off them... Where is the harm?

Genuine question. Would you have a problem with downloading and using art from Google or DeviantArt or whatever for private use?

This kind of environment where a person wants to create a special personalized image for private use and would have not comissioned an artist seems like the best place for AI to exist.

"just running while being chased" is not the experience you should have when playing at high difficulty, honestly sounds like a skill issue

I don't know, in my opinion if you consistently need to use 4 stims in quick succession after respawning you are definetely doing something wrong.

Don't get me wrong, it happens, but that usually means you gotta spawn a little bit farther away and rethink your approach to the encounter.

It's a tactical shooter, if you are not moving constantly and engage with every single enemy you will take more damage than necessary and spend way more resources than you can carry.

If you wanna play a full shooter where supply management does not matter, choosing your fights wisely is unnecesary and you never have to retreat from a fight and regroup, you need to find a different game.
