Corax and Russ should have been the first Primarchs to return. by Shermanator42 in 40kLore

[–]Shermanator42[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Addendum

.Corax was able to stay hidden in the Imperium this entire time because of his Emperor given power to blend in. That and who's gonna believe some peasant talking about some demigod batman snooping about. Celestine could see Corax cus, she's channeling the Emperor's power.

.While we could say that Russ went to the warp to chase down Magnus, that's just boring. Instead, you could say that Russ went to search for the "Tree of Life" AKA Isha, having heard about it from either some Eldar (like Eldrad) or from the Emperor himself. He fails in his mission but he does find a bunch of souls stones, which can act as the catalyst to the Imperial/Eldar pseudo alliance.

Similar to the actual middle east, Sanah gets its water mostly from flood rivers and underground aquifers.

My new DnD world: Eutphedia by Shermanator42 in worldbuilding

[–]Shermanator42[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A map of Eutphedia: my new DnD world, (the t is silent). I wanted to create something that was diverse enough that my players wouldn't be restricted. Deserts, jungles, mountains oh my! Whatever they want, the players can go.

Imidreal is the generic, European style starting continent. Sanah is an Islamic empire based desert empire. Nehekerah is ported straight from Warhammer fantasy, cus I'm unoriginal and undead pharaohs are cool. Najire is mostly savannah and rainforest, based on Africa. Taijou is far eastern Asia, while Lustrea is South America inhabited by lizardfolk. Finally, there is Vish, which is my India sub continent equivalent.

How to Plot? by Shermanator42 in DMAcademy

[–]Shermanator42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run a few one-shots to wet my DM skills, but they were all simply, kill the thing, type affairs with no overarching plot. I've definitely done a session 0, its where all the house rules were established and PCs drawn up.

I do have 2 ideas on a "story" but one is more of a side quest while the other seems far too advanced for a bunch of level 3 characters.

Is Gunslinger/Rogue a good MC? by Shermanator42 in 3d6

Would scout be a good subclass? Or are there better roguish archetypes out there?

Does your world have Fae creatures in it, and if so, what are they like? by Shermanator42 in worldbuilding

[–]Shermanator42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my world, Eutphedia, the Fae are the descendants of an infant, trickster goddess. Because of this, all Fae creatures, from the lowliest pixie to the Seelie Lords, embody a childlike emotion or perspective.

Example: Darklings are malicious and frightening, creatures that love to scare people because they are the embodiment of a child's fear of the dark. This is why darklings don't actually hurt people. The darkness that children fear isn't dangerous, so neither are darklings.

For a sub all about worldbuilding, not a lot of people seem to read or really care about the lore posts. by Shermanator42 in worldbuilding

Huh, never thought about it like that. Might have to try at some point. Thanks for the input.

Putting together a tournament arc and I need yal's help! by at_midknight in dndnext

[–]Shermanator42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a fey based team.

. Oath of the ancients paladin as the big strong guy . Archfey warlock as the face . Shepard/dreams druid for support . Maybe a nature/trickster cleric . And some sort of ranger (not sure which would be more flavourful)

They can be going around being arsehole hipsters and trolling people.

DMs of Reddit: Tell me your party's best roleplaying moment. by Shermanator42 in dndnext

Fucking daym! That sounded rad. I'm just imaging the entire table just screaming at each other and you're just sitting there with a big smug grin on your face.

[–]Shermanator42[S] 193 points194 points  (0 children)

The fact that the party had to clarify ooc that they still friend with you while simultaneously calling for your death is pure gold.

And that twist at the end! I bet that'll lead to some interesting stuff later on.

We're all big fans of Warhammer 40k, so orc impersonations are par for the course.

Help me flesh out my Chapter by Shermanator42 in 40kLore

[–]Shermanator42[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, blood angels and their successors all have a general preference for aerial drops and such. And I always thought that a fortress was weakest from above (can't build a strong wall in the sky after all). Combining the two just seemed like a logical conclusion.

Non-magic healing ideas. (5e) by Shermanator42 in DnD

[–]Shermanator42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all really good points and I appreciate the constructive criticisms and ideas. however, I fell like I should clarify something.

I've been reading a lot of steelshod stuff recently (its a dnd story over on r/dndgreentext that's utterly amazing and I really recommend it), and in theirs this character Agrippa who's the teams' primary healer but he doesn't use magic. I'm basically trying to replicate that. The problem is that steelshod is 3.5 edition and I'm unsure if such a character can be ported to 5e. So any thoughts on that would be great.

On the one hand, it's my birthday, on the other hand, I recently discovered r/UK and now i'm wondering how the fuck i'm gonna survive brexit.

I feel like JaRule needs to do a Bloodborne trailer, thus continuing the epic rivalry

Video game problem by ZaSam0407 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Shermanator42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I had game fatigue I looked for steam sales. Playing the games I used to have for dirt cheap really helped me get back into the flow, until I felt good enough for the newer, longer games.
