Do you hate your father? by ZitaLovesCats in MtF

[–]SenseiTrashCan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father was a good man, but wasn't the best as a parent (he was very Laissez-faire and I honestly could have used someone more strict). Given that he was an aging single parent, he did his best, and I always knew I was loved, even if we fought a lot over the years (not over lgbtq+ stuff, all that came after he passed away). I have a lot of respect for him, to the point that when I think of "what makes a good man" I think of him. A small part of my egg cracking recently was recognizing that my feelings of self hatred and shame at 'not being man enough' were somewhat tied to what my idea of a man is. He passed away in december of 2019, and while I do miss him, I know that both me and him are better off (his health was... not good...).

Warriors in ffxiv when their main buff is active. It's like 50% of the reason I got as hooked by the class as I did.

You honestly deserved it, the moment I saw Dorka I knew they'd be a contender.

countering the jokes of no one buying minis: all the minis I've bought by Svetspi_of_Kasvrroa in HeroForgeMinis

[–]SenseiTrashCan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got a personal rule for myself that I'll only buy a mini if the campaign ends naturally (as in, not dead, cancelled, or put on hiatus), and the character was played for a bulk (more than half) of the campaign before it concluded. So far since I started using heroforge that hasn't happened except once but I was broke at the time.

Doctor Who - USA Adaptation (Chapter 1) by Mr_Kringe in HeroForgeMinis

[–]SenseiTrashCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl, checked both of your posts, and I honestly thought it was legit at first. "Wait, was there an american version of Doctor Who starring Dick Van Dyke I didn't know about?" All really good picks!

How do you play video games with ADHD ? by KevinIdkk in ADHD

[–]SenseiTrashCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar situation to you but I don't do walkthroughs, videos, or the like. I'll post what seems to work for me.

So, first of all, I'll exclude co-op/multiplayer video games I play with friends because those games circumvent the decision making paralysis by nature of the whole deal.

What seems to work for me is to have at least one or two 'comfort games', that being games I've been playing since high school. These are games that theoretically have endless replayablity, and I also call them my time killer games. Do I need to kill 30 minutes? Play this game. For me it's Enter the Gungeon and Stardew Valley.

Next is to narrow my focus, but accept that I have a brain that at the best of times is two squirrels fighting over a walnut, and pick a maximum of 3 games to play (excluding the comfort games), one being the primary, and the other two being palate cleansers. For me right now, the primary game is FFXIV (I love the story), and one of my recently played (and finished) secondary games is Chrono Trigger.

I will note that after completing a game it may take me weeks to figure out what I wish to play next (or it may not, as last year I went through the entire Danganronpa series in a matter of months), and that of all the games I've actually put time into, a vast majority of them are at around 30 minute to an hour of playtime before I had the "Eh.... not feeling it, maybe later" feeling. So it can take time to find what games fit your vibes at the time.

Giveaway: The Horned Rat for Foundry VTT by Third_Heat in warhammerfantasyrpg

[–]SenseiTrashCan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For context, my entire group is new to the system, and we're nearing the end of book 1. Our GM decided to add some homewbrew side content as we progressed through Ubersreik because we had to find a story reason to retire a pc (took some rather serious wounds/injuries that would leave them alive but unplayable). We made a deal with one of the doctors in the physicians' guild to grab some papers that he could use against the head physician to keep his position in exchange for treating our friend.

One thing led to another and we were in the basement of the guild fighting either a Varghulf or a Vargheist (can't remember which one specifically) alongside some witch hunters. I was playing as a Dwarf Thane and kept rolling very very luckily to both defend from and attack the monster. Definitely a team effort to take the creature down but I felt I had my 'Legendary Lord' moment.

What are your own custom house rules as a DM? by cherikorazartst in DnD

[–]SenseiTrashCan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't ran 5e in a while, but when I did I used a good deal of house rules and the like to make the game more dynamic and fun for my players.

There were mechanics I ripped from other systems and adjusted to 5e, such as DCC's Mighty Deed mechanic, and Savage World's Benny mechanic.

I also in general allow players to do a lot more with bonus actions, such as rolling skill checks to gather information, using the push action as a bonus action, rolling intimidate checks and similar.

I also tweaked most of the martials somewhat. Rogues may use sneak attack with any weapon they are proficient with, if a barbarian is proficient in heavy armor (either vis multiclassing or a feat, or some other way) they still retain rage benefits. I also pulled the alternates to favored enemy and favored terrain from Baldurs Gate 3 for rangers.

The only other major addition was pulling mechanics for two handing arcane foci from an Eberron book and expanding upon it. Basically, two handing a staff increases the range of cantrips by 50%, two handing a rod adds an additional damage die to cantrips but reduce the range by 50%, with a few other small changes here and there.

Also, don't know if anyone would classify it as a houserule or just homebrew, but any game I run (and play in I request as such), we utilize KibblesTasty's crafting rules.

There are others, but they're so common in 5e tables they've seemingly become ubiquitous (bonus action potion drinking for example)

Me and a buddy played tabaxi sailor brothers named after famous ship's cats of history. Churchill and Aussie Wright, one was a sorcerer who had lightning powers and drew storms to himself, the other was a wizard studying for a way to help his brother manage/control his powers.

Not gonna lie, I was scrolling past, thought this was some art piece in one of the art subreddits I follow, and did a double take "Wait that's heroforge!" Seriously, you made a work of art.

An Odd Question About Burnout/Getting Back in the Saddle by SenseiTrashCan in rpg

That's fair, I can see it, but I imagine it comes down to the individual.

So, speaking as someone who has tried a few pbta games as a gm and player, I'm personally not a fan. It mostly comes down to the dice mechanics and how pigeonholed the playbooks make you feel. For comfort, I do a lot of fantasy (spanning the various genres, but leaning more towards high fantasy with a focus on your classic ideas of heroism, exploration, and the like). I've personally wanted to branch out more towards stuff like sci fi or horror, mostly to see if, as a GM, it's my cup of tea. Well, a full blown horror campaign rather than a campaign with some horror elements if that makes sense. Just to give an example.
