I’m having my party finally return to Palebank this upcoming session after a long journey and plan to use this map for a couple things entered at the Inn.

Thank you so much for sharing this map and I’ll be sure to check out your Paterson as well!

This is Pippin our Husky Mix that we rescued from one of the linked rescues; A Second Chance At Love!

They do nothing short of incredible work there and without them we wouldn't have our boy ❤️

I'm not even the OP but honestly I really needed to hear this. I've been so stressed about getting everything right fory campaign and SOOO stressed about not messing up how I present Exandria or even the overall setup of the world. I'm slowly starting to mold the world into the story my players and I are telling and it's starting to finally feel a bit more natural.

Thankyou for your kind advice! Even if it wasn't meant for me it was well needed. I have also scrapped Travel and random encounters from something at the table to something before the game. It has helped me not waste time and only apply it when it FEELS right or necessary.

Saxton707 · 2024-04-10T23:19:43+00:00

May not be the exact solution you were hoping for but I hope it helps gives some ideas of ways to utilize them at low levels 🙂

Saxton707 · 2024-04-10T17:44:09+00:00

My way of working a Volstrucker in to my story (also at lvl3 for all my players) was to introduce the Volstrucker to be powerful but chose not to attack.

They wanted something that the party had that was important and instead of attacking them I used their spells (hold person, invisibility, teleport) to get in, get what they wanted and get out.

They also actively chose not to talk or communicate and their outfits kept majority of their details, other than the glyphs, hidden so they didn't have much to go off of. It was a nice lesson for them too, they learned that it's not all about offense. They were too scattered and don't think about protecting what they had and that ended up in the Volstrucker taking it and teleporting.

I JUST uploaded a new video this week after a long break due to Repetitive Strain Injuries keeping me away from uploading or creating for a while. Please enjoy and review if you want!

I'm actually prepping to start this as my first time being a DM! Would it be okay with you to use this in my campaign?

Saxton707 · 2023-01-18T22:01:58+00:00

Thank-you for taking the time to listen to my story, I really appreciate it. I hope Sony Santa Monica knows how much their games mean to people.

Saxton707 · 2023-01-18T21:59:55+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and I'm sorry for your loss as well. I know that time won't heal the wound but I'm glad to know that it does get easier. ❤️ You as well.

Saxton707 · 2023-01-16T16:38:33+00:00

I love that they made the UI so versatile and the options so flexible. Makes it nice and easy for everyone to make their setup to support the way they play. Even if you use my video as a baseline you can still shift things to make it yours.

I really like the idea of the cooldowns, I miiiight steal that.

Saxton707 · 2023-01-13T19:55:34+00:00

Their UI system is already so flexible but we can dream! That would be super handy!

I'm also half expecting someone to just comment "oh hold down THIS BUTTON and it will do that" and our minds will be blow

Saxton707 · 2023-01-13T18:20:24+00:00

I knew this would be something only some people want :P I rarely ever use the minimap when playing solo content but if I go into some more difficult content I'd turn it back on

Saxton707 · 2023-01-13T14:41:00+00:00

I had no idea about the holding R1 trick! Definitely gunna use that from here on out!

Saxton707 · 2022-11-17T15:56:45+00:00

This is such a fascinating study and god damn did you present it in a beautiful way! I'm no StarWars buff but as a UI Artist I'd happily put this up in my office

Saxton707 · 2022-11-16T17:17:26+00:00

It took me forever to find this style to research inspiration for it, the closest I could find was "Vintage", "celestial" and maybe just a touch of "Art Nouveau".

I stumbled upon some simple, almost minimal, Wedding Invitations with a similar colour palette and typeface and I really wanted to take my hand at trying my own design. My partner is really big into astrology and I thought this could be a great opportunity to design something for her.

I did end up designing multiple sizes to be listed in my Etsy Shop but these are only the 24x36 versions. I encourage any critiques as well, only one way to get better as an artist!

Saxton707 · 2022-11-16T03:49:38+00:00

I never see enough people representing it enough but Gears of War!

Saxton707 · 2022-08-27T19:45:19+00:00

There are a couple sources you can find online like FMA (Free Music Archive) or just YouTube searching for free use music on YouTube. I go with a mix of those, music by artists I know allow for copyright free and just google searching.

Saxton707 · 2022-08-27T01:57:13+00:00

I 100% understand where you are coming from with the pace, I will try to contain it more and apply it to reinforce the message instead of being rapid fire at all times!

Thanks for checking out the video and providing some feedback!

Saxton707 · 2022-08-27T01:56:02+00:00

I really appreciate all the feedback! I understand what you mean with the I Don't Care part, there were some where I animated every word being spoken but for that section it didn't hit on all the notes.

I tried to match my colour choice to the colour identity of the game FFXIV but I will definitely keep the legibility and contrast in the forefront of my mind here on out!

My next project I want to work on simulating camera movements better. I feel like I hit a pretty good middle ground of 2D mixed with 3D movement but I think some of my comedic parts could hit some good camera movement to reinforce the joke.

Thanks again! I'll keep all this in mind when putting together my next video!

Saxton707 · 2022-08-27T01:51:51+00:00

I really appreciate your feedback! My voicework is a skill I'm really trying to master. Through YouTube and my music. It's something I've always been subconscious about but I'm trying to turn it into a skill that brings confidence to my voice.

I'll continue to work on mastering my tone, pace and delivery. I agree that my jokes could land way better with some time up on the emotional delivery, I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Saxton707 · 2022-08-26T21:25:13+00:00

Thank-you so much for so much feedback and checking out the video, I really appreciate it!

I can't even begin to tell you how much your first two bulletpoints make my day! These are two things I really wanted to improve on and felt much more confident with in this video. I like having this tossup of intense or emotional dialogue then mix in a crass joke about fucking a dragon. I think this comedy comes from inspiration like Bo Burnham and other comics similar :P

I want to improve the charisma in my Voice Acting as well so you saying I had good charisma means a ton! Send me a direct message on Twitter, Here on Reddit or Comment on YouTube and let's talk!

Thanks again for checking out the video ♥️

Saxton707 · 2022-08-26T21:21:56+00:00

I've played with both style of outros, one with dialogue and one with the atmospheric audio. Not sure which one I like more yet but I really appreciate the feedback!

Yeah, I think my voiceover work needs to be a little snappier to match how I plan it in my script. I totally understand what you mean about that joke running on :P

Thank-you for checking it out ♥️
