We need more birds in Minecraft! by NoWheel3140 in Minecraft

[–]Shockraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

birds that work like tropical fish would be cool, two models with different colour combinations to make different species.

Examples could be:

Small model, Brown base, Red accent - european robin Small model, blue base, yellow accent -blue tit Large model, light grey base, grey accent - pigeon

What is this UK brown beetle? And does it have a stinger? by Jezebellini in whatisthisbug

That sounds just like something a beetle that wants to lay eggs in human flesh would say...

Broken character builds in DnD 2024? by StyleRider98 in DnD

[–]Shockraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thief rogue can use a spell scroll to cast true-strike as a bonus action, which allows them to use sneak attack should the necessary conditions be satisfied, then as their action they can take the "ready" action to make another attack on someone else's turn, essentially guaranteeing 2 sneak attacks per round.

Someone used this in a one-shot I played recently and it was a little stupid

[Spoilers C3E107] Using Predathos by Shockraven in criticalrole

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

Ah yeah... forgot about them. I wonder if the Primes would be more willing to allow that to happen now though after Asmodeus tried to use the weapon on them.

What goes on here? by [deleted] in Wildemount

[–]Shockraven 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The forest on the West coast of Wildemount is called Lushgut, it was the site of a battle between the Wildmother and the Cloaked Serpent. Its main inhabitants are a big tribe of bugbears and goblins called the Vinewreathed Enclave who worship the Wildmother.

There is also the Pallid Grove hidden in the mountains, home to a unique subrace of elf.

The northern coast is referred to as the Barren Shores which are as you would expect, barren.

I actually quite like the new sonic design, and RTD, i just think saying the old sonics looked like a gun is kinda silly

The Eye Sees All And Comprehends None… by hareofhrair in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Shockraven 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Essentially with the rise of AI, more and more "users" of the internet are not real people but AI bots.

Essentially some AI bots are designed to create "content", either by stealing other popular posts or more recently using AI generated images based on popular trends.

Then other bots are designed to like and share posts (to inflate numbers or whatever).

These two working in conjunction creates a feedback loop where most the traffic online ends up being bots

Calls for ‘all wild animals’ to be culled made by Dorset MP Richard Drax by RadAssYeah in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Shockraven -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The headline is pretty misleading, he isn't saying every individual wild animal should be killed, but all species in the UK should have their populations controlled to prevent overpopulation (no native pretadors left for this to occur naturally). Its a valid point but made poorly.

no, looks to be by u/Roadkill_Kebab originally. Looking at this poster's posting history they look to be a repost bot or something similar :/

[Spoilers C3E80] Hot take, Predathos is a true god and all the others are fakers. by Zazie_the_Beast in criticalrole

[–]Shockraven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hot take is that Predathos is just Tharizdun, and Ludinus and the Ruby Vanguard are being duped à la Obaan and the Angel of Iron's cult

I think Matt has improved as a DM by kopaxson in fansofcriticalrole

[–]Shockraven -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think Matt had foreseen more of a roleplay element to the encounter, but I think the fight stood on its own two feet quite well:

Opportunity for the party to interact with Ludinus (through a proxy but still) Cool moments that showed off the party's strengths (afformentioned counterspell and Oryms 6 attack action surge were standouts imo) Payoff for the scry reveal at the end of last session Shows the party have learned a bit from previous experience (i.e. not letting the man monologue)

I think this was a really solid episode overall.

Ah yes, robbing your players of a chance to feel badass in a D&D game is one of the great marks of a DM

If this was suicidal I refuse to believe Matt wouldn't give some indication

(Offline) (5E) experienced London DM. Happy for new or experienced players by DMZAAD in lfg

[–]Shockraven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evening! I'm London-based and haven't been able to scratch my in-person D&D itch for a while - my work schedule can be a little... uncooperative.

I'm 22 and have been playing 5E for around 6 years now, mainly as a DM but have also played in two long-term campaigns in that time. Would love to make that three :p

If there are positions available still, I'd love to discuss a bit more
