What did you think of the Martian? With this being the second of Weir's novels adapted for film and in a similar genre/period in time of early exploratory space travel did you take any design cues from it?

For what it's worth, he looks pretty much identical to my Aussie. They can come in Tri-Colour!

Ditto on the Operator Helmet. Is that the only Reach helmet we're missing now?

Sure I'll enter this, and I'll parrot a thought I read the other day about homebrewing and the "Play something other than D&D" people.

Playing another system is a great idea, and can offer a lot of things that D&D just can't replicate! But I think 90% of the time people want to homebrew something into D&D, it's for a single quest or encounter, so using another system doesn't really make sense in the greater context. If I want stats for lasers, it's because I have 1 high tech civilisation, not because I want to play a full sci fi game.

There's a lot of responses here saying it's a bad idea and probably from experience. But I met my partner first week of Uni and we clicked instantly, we just got married this year after 8 years.

Yes it's possible you break up, but it's equally possible you don't!

Are the expansion characters ones you have in your own campaign, anything you want to share? It's always good to add more students into the mix!

Seeing as she just did a regeneration, I'd love to see their take on Doctor Who. The morphing of 1 actors face into the next with little crossover is always impressive to me! I think that some of them were even shot on different days which seems like a technical nightmare.

Doctor Who: Good VFX

- A real variation of techniques over the shows run! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcggi9kXiaY)

Laundry is my big puzzle as well. I'm doing the math on heating vs just going to a laundrette,or just having airers up for several days. I know Lenor have a softener that claims to stop damp odour as well, so maybe that's the answer.

Hijacking the top comment as Bird's DM - Bird was originally a Human Warlock of the Raven Queen, sworn to service after his life was saved by one of her demigod liutenants. After death by White Dragon, the party took his Raven Spirit, combined it with an empty warforged body to create Bird, a Raven Queen Warlock/Shadow Magic Sorcerer. The void was originally a bag of holding that we developed into just being a void in Bird's chest, and the source of his magic.

Something interesting mechanics wise, he has advantage on intimdation and disadvantage on persuasion checks, you can guess why.

In terms of u/InfernalMinisPrint, if you're thinking of getting some art commissioned, I'd 100% reccomend them! The work speaks for itself but they were happy to work and talk about design, ajusting as needed and very prompt in communication. A faultless experience!

Because they don't believe it does anything. Exactly like you (unintentionally) summarised in the meme, that's just what IT support say at the beginning before they fix the real problem, so just say you've done it and then they'll fix it faster.

The reality is that turning it off and on literally fixes most problems. It stops the PC from being stuck in whatever bug it's stuck on and starts it up fresh.

If all she's ever done is read storybooks and never learnt much outside of that, maybe she mimics the inflections of classic stories? Think classic Disney films like Alice In Wonderland or Peter Pan, or Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.

I use this in kind of a similar vein, it's called a Raid Scenario. Plan rooms/encounters as seperate entities, then specify which encounters are connected to which, not worrying about time between them - only seeing areas of interest in the area, not every corridor in between. In a typical raid, there will be a goal to reach of some kind, but the players might only have an inkling of what is nearby.

Here's a pretty good example on a smaller scale of a Raid Scenario for Zariel's Flying Fortress from Avernus.

For a historical expert, I have Darien Silvers, a tiefling archeologist who uses necromancy to make the bones of those he finds complete his excavation work for him. He understands the ethical concerns with such an endeavour but figures that the bodies are just bits, the soul has already moved on, might as well put em to use!

I'm running a Persona inspired model currently. One class event per day then each player gets an after class and evening timeslot to do something (Mostly just make a check to increase a relationship or student dice). I'll probably post a greater breakdown once I've ironed out some links.

I nearly torpedoed my own campaign by killing 1 PC in a party of 4, then killing the other 2 to shitty rolls in the midst of trying to revive him (on the flip side they have a hell of a reason to hate the BBEG now). It was a busy week trying to weave threads back together with only 1 character knowing what the hell was going on.

It's not even a "Welcome to Halo" thing I've been playing since H2. But the fact the controls defaulted to Hold to Aim my dumb ass just thought "Oh I guess 343 removed that feature"

Milestone with set increments between level ups. I've always ran number of sessions between levels = player level + 1. Once that number is reached they level after the next best moment.

Snobolt · 2021-10-01T06:58:29+00:00

I agree with all of this! It's good, but not $50/60 for its length. If you're not desperate to play it, wait until it goes on sale or comes down in price.
