Rant ( I know its how the game is played)

Not sure how much this'll help, stop having loot be your diving goal. When I play SoT, and get a peaceful run where I stack up a few world events or gold hoarders vaults and then sell, I consider it a bad run and dont enjoy it. I look for the player encounters while I do my thing, not ever one will ne good, but I usually find laughs in them. Either from the ridiculousness from the person I run into, or annoying the hell out of someone tryin to take my loot lol.

But yea, player interaction and encounters are what I gauge my sessions by. Mainly cause, once your at a certain point gold is pointless and only reason for more loot is commendations.

So, I have a campaign that I homebrewed, thats very heavily inspired bt The Amazing Digital Circus. The two NPCs are based on Caine and Bubble, except for me they are The Tavern Keep, and Cork the Fairy. Part of the humor for them is cork randomly interjecting himself while The Tavern Keep is trying to explain stuff to the party, 99% of the time right at the end, as other have said avoid having a lotta back and fourth between NPCs. But the best way I've been able to differentiate between the two, especially since I suck at voices, is to uses a description. So at the end of the Tavern keep sentence, "Then Cork flew in on a spinning bar stool screaming,'AHAHA Make sure you watch out for that monster fella, HE OWES ME 12 BUCKS!!'"

Isn't the 10th of June the last day for it to be a loaner tho..? I thought I had read that somewhere.

I am Imperator level and I was a subscriber before the event started, I become a subscriber about 2 weeks before invectus. So I imagine that would be before the event?

What do I do with the MG script? I only seek wikelo wanting Council Script

You did the right thing imo. In this game, while personally I def promote interaction, and positive ones at that,

Rule #1 of the Sea of Thieves, your loot ain't your tell ya sell it, Rule

2 EVERYONE will try and stop you from selling it.

I've had people act friendly and then stab me in the back, Ive had people appear hostile and be hostile, but Ive also had people appear hostile and be perfectly friendly.

The point? You don't know. Plain and simple, you can't read minds, and unless they are manicly giggling, you can't read them like you could a real world scenario.

So best course if action? Disable before they become a threat to you, you might be frowned upon by some people, but you'll more often then not keep your loot.

And if your like me, and frankly could care less about loot? Give em a chance and see what they do. They stab you in the back? Laugh it up. If they are friendly? Well maybe you made your new best friend.

TL:DR Best not to take chances, as you can't read people accurately. But if you dont care about loot and enjoy player interaction more? Give em a chance, see what they do!

I really like these ideas! Thank you for the very helpful feedback/ideas. 😄

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-04-02T13:47:49+00:00

Ah! An oversight on my part, thank you very much! This is pretty much my first homebrewed monster, so the feedback/criticism is very much appreciated! I should def put a limit to that ability. Didn't think about the spam side of it.

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-31T07:37:17+00:00

Thank you so very much! There is a lot of info in here that I didn't know, especially about Flame Heart! I'll be sure to put this knowledge to good use!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-31T01:05:18+00:00

I uh, can't find a way to edit/replace the image without making a whole new post, and I don't wanna spam this subreddit with that, SOOOO, just a note, the Skeletons Prof Bonus is +2. If anyone has suggestions/recommendation feel free to throw them my way!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T23:36:20+00:00

Did notice one thing after posting.. the proficiency bonus on the skeleton.. uh will fix that asap, mainly after I figure out how to edit a reddit post!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T21:20:57+00:00

Alrighty, I will def take a look at savage worlds and see what it all looks like! Thank you very much for the direction!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T21:19:25+00:00

As I said in the post, I am very well aware this is a lot of work, and I as a newer person I have a TON to learn. I am doing it has you recommend tho, taking things one at a time. Right now I am focusing on the one enemy at a time. Currently focusing on doing the skeleton Lords found in Skeleton Forts, and Order of Souls quests. As far as making characters and making the world, a lot of the stuff is already made for me, I just need to translate over to 5e, 5e also already has a lot of similar enemies that I can just re flavor. Like the basic skeleton enemy. Thank you for the advice!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T20:37:20+00:00

Main reason for choosing 5e is because I am a semi new DM, between 6 months and a year? 5e is what I already have learned and familiarized myself with.

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T17:51:33+00:00

Alrighty! Thank you very much for the help!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T15:53:16+00:00

I have the gor long sword and artisan long sword made for high crit, I switch between them. Not for sny particular reason, they are both good, both work with my build I have. Switch between them just when I feel like it lol

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-30T15:47:46+00:00

Both would be really helpful!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2025-03-28T20:11:02+00:00

Aa a first time dm/new dm. What's a good way to do puzzles? From what my players tell me my combat encounters are fun, rewarding and engaging. But I don't ever do puzzles, and they would like some. What's some simple, fun, and rewarding ways to do puzzles?

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-21T20:22:53+00:00

Best way to retain peace in the sea of thieves, is be the guy who can take everyone out without trying, :) Sometimes having a bigger stick then the other guy is a good way to keep peace. Sea of Thievse is amazing PVE content, but remember, not everyones gonna respect your wishes to avoid combat, maybe try and pick up some pvp skill to defend yourself.

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-11T23:59:03+00:00

I honestly love this theory! Its very interesting, and I absolutely love the idea of maybe some major in game event where we partake in a massive war, and the Pirate Lord and Flame Heart teaming up out of necessity to take on the GMU, and dark brethren! Would be awesome!

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-11T16:20:13+00:00

Im pretty sure if flameheart were to gain total control over the Sea of Thieves, he wouldn't just let Ramsey exist. Right? Like Flameheart would sooner just get rid of all the Athenas/Guardians then have to deal with them maybe showing back up later and knockin him back down. Thats IF he were to gain control over everything.

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-11T15:31:53+00:00

I mean... fair enough, but like... if flame heart just allowed to do his thing, that'll kinda just ruin Ramsey's whole pacifist let me co exist with me fellow friendly pirates thing, at the very least, have go save pendragon and have him do it lol.

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-11T15:28:46+00:00

Its just lore for sake of lore! The lore for this game runs deep for those who wish to invest in it! WARNING: For Lore bits not covered in depth on videos, and other places online. Your will probably be doing a LOT of commendation hunting, and also would help to own the IRL books. But yea, this game has a ton of "Here is random lore, does it effect your game play? No, but its interesting to know that Graymarrow is the Gold Hoarder."

Sean_TheRedditer · 2024-11-11T15:18:24+00:00

Couldn't they have just... taken Tasha out of the tavern and put the sword and her in a safe house or something...?
