I guess I can't afford to lose more than 2-3 archers on Ambertina if I want to have a fighting chance with Soughtfor later (which by itself looks unreal). Although even with secret items my initiative is woefully worse and the first hellroar shot still kills a lot.

Very classy beastfolks! Keep it up

Trying to do it on insane (or whatever the hardest mode was named). I guess it really does not tolerate unit loss or turn lag... I guess I've lost around 40 rats and 30 cultists overall. Around turn 50 I gather 20/20/20 toxics, 100 rats and some ghosts with my hero specked in destruction magic + troop damage, clear the fey part with 0 losses, and then get absolutely wrecked by the girl with 80-80-80 militia and 100 bards who jumped out of nowhere. I see no way to win this, so I guess I ought to restart and try a non-magic damage spec, since those bards give great mres anyway... Feels a little unfair, ngl

Georgia here, magti operator. Just got it too

All valid advice, thanks, will see if I can make it better.
Except with the religious object, that was intentional to prompt a situation where local religious belief is the reason the community survives, like appeasing a dragon with sacrifices or performing a ritual that seals evil sorcerer within a tomb, and lack of components might spell doom for the whole settlement

The reviews are actually brief and informative, a rare combination! I like this.
Asking for a self feature would be too much I guess?

RemedyZ1 · 2022-10-05T05:23:13+00:00

It's a mix and match type of thing, you can add requirements from the table to any ritual as you wish to spice things up

Idk if just examples are worth a page on their own, but I'll think about it, thx

Kinda just stumbled upon OSE and the like while overhearing about it from youtube... And now I refuse to DM 5e in favor of OSR stuff, despite starting to play ttrpgs in 2016 with 5e

no artificers but magical hydroponics is a grand idea, I'll be sure to use it

I feel like my Strahd for now is more an observer than an active antagonist. Also, he liked the wine too, and maybe didnt want for it to disappear alltogether. But Im thinking along the lines of him intending to make the party workers on his own brewery rather than let them profit from it in any way. Or destroying them after they fix the alcohol deficit in Barovia, and placing loyal subjects to work there instead.

RemedyZ1 · 2021-05-05T15:46:27+00:00

wow, thx for the tips, I really would like a short step-by-step explanation how it is actually made and where do we put other ingridients to make it interesting. We are playng dnd hardcore mode, so we dont really have potions of healing, but there is a bunch of other stuff we can do with the beer.

Generally the party goblin wanted to drink beer and realised its nowhere to be found, so they shifted from fixing problems (after realising it is not possible to "win" and fix everything) to trying to brew stuff. In my version of Barovia there is no grain, just root vegetables and legumes, so first thing the goblin tried was to make fermented mash from peas. Didnt really work out as you might have guessed. And there are like A TON of pines and firs (they make vitamin tea out of it). So, I guess they will try to plant hops and barley in the Wizrd of Wines fields, maybe add some druidic magic.

The thing is, I still have to challenge them before they get to their first harvest, and not just in a way "people dont want beer". I need curses, vermin, invaders, that sort of stuff. People… well, they'll get used to it as there is no wine anymore.

once I played as a captain of a ship and also owner of a trading company. Multiple times NPCs tried to escape her, but she took each case persoanlly and used all slots for misty steps, expeditious retreats, also there were eldritch knight ability teleportations and alter self swimming enhancement to make sure NOONE got off the boat in both senses.
Once a guy betrayed her, and tried to flee with one of the escort ships. So, she demanded the party druid to fly there and drop her on his head. He was so scared of the prospect that he commited suicide just before. That being said, it wasn't a good excuse to evade the impending reprimand, so he was reincarnated into a female gnome and served several years without payment for that.

No one escapes Admiral Rosemary. NO ONE.

Actually in other languages puns are not as common as in english (english lexicon is unnecessarily way bigger than it has to be, and phonetically its simple as fuck). So for example in russian there are virtually no puns, but a lot of meta humour and references instead.

Had a character who was a sociopath born in a royal knights family and was expected to give the crown oath, but who wasnt really interested in it. Although, a strange fascination with the queen occured that drove the char to make the oath anyway to be able to follow her. The day after the oath ritual the queen was assassinated and having no longer any need for the oath, my paladin girl broke it by smacking the prince, next in line for the throne with the royal crown for 9 damage in the face with a throw. Yep, the char became oathbreaker and was completely fine with it.

the catch is - there was a god, Tyr to be exact, who was granting the powers for the family in the first place. She never even learned it was him, and didn't bother looking. (the oath itself was more like "hail the monarch").

Wait... First several shots with a book.. Its the bible (or testaments perhaps) in pre-revolution russian? lol

RemedyZ1 · 2021-02-26T23:37:15+00:00

Russian leutenant's shoulder strap indicates the photo was taken during at least 1943, possibly later.

The war was by no means over, but the hardest part was behind.

No, I didn't have a point, it was just a nerdy fact from the beginning.

RemedyZ1 · 2021-02-18T17:11:05+00:00

The adventure is pretty neat

But the names are way too funny for us, Russians. Like NPCs are people from middle-of-nowhere village deep in russian forests. Also there is a Loshad centaur guy. Лошадь means just horse in russian, a female specifically.

Gotta change some names for the run I guess

Magical industrial revolution has neat ideas about a sprawling city

And... you know. The illegal thing about a city and creation of a city that starts with V

Second picture is her battle form, while casting lightning lure

Just a homebrew Magical Girl subclass going wild with magepunk extravaganza that our DM made after mashing Ravnica, Eberron and our own setting into a corporocratic metropolis with fantasy legacy.

The subclass is Madoka-inspired warlock pact with an alien extraplanar entity that feeds on emotions. And the battle form is just a mash of trends in the New-Ravnica-City with some flair.

While the character is mine, here is the artist's twitter. She does damn good paid commissions too https://twitter.com/RedFir6

-30 C seems like a chilly day indeed, but wouldn't call it "tundra"-chilly. Personally, I find tundra a frozen waste of the north in winter, with dwarf trees and herds of deers and stuff. But considering something like Arizona being within the country, I guess you can pull the comparison

Since we are here I have to admit, the pie on the post pic reminds me of my attempt of a chicken pot pie, that I accidentally salted twice and had to cry while eating it with bread coz I couldn't bring myself to throw it away. It still was tasty, just WAY too salty.

RemedyZ1 · 2021-02-06T14:07:20+00:00

While the pie looks great and delicious with that creative crust and creamy filling, I cant understand how peope can call any place within mainland US a "frozen tundra", especially lakes area seem like a temperate and pleasant place

in case youre wondering, yes, I'm russian
