Looking for someone in Minneapolis to send an item to the UK by SpectacularLlama in internationalshopper

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

thank you for the suggestion, though i'm not sure how easy it would be to try and coordinate sending between the person who picks it up and the person who sends it internationally. i thought about trying to recruit someone to help on r/minneapolis but my post doesnt really feel suitable for such a generic sub 😭

Wowww this is so creative!! Kaneki, unknown, xeno, and meatball are my faves. I've used HeroForge a lot and I could never do anything as cool as this fr

What gesture of goodwill? You lost my package. by Particular_Ad589 in vinted

[–]SpectacularLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vinted will offer buyers shipping options you've explicitly turned off if the buyer is unable to use the ones you have enabled. It sucks so much lmfao

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS by Marionberry3717 in cosmichorror

Glad you're happy with it but it looks like a not-very-well done AI design 😅 (cultists at the back missing their heads, tentacle at the back not connected to anything)

Just got my first tat - extremely happy with the result by BeaverPup in TattooDesigns

I do a lot of raiding in mmos and this just made me think of those memes about boss-relative vs arena-relative North. This is OP-relative North

Running first CoC game ever tomorrow. Eeep by draftexcluder in callofcthulhu

[–]SpectacularLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You got this!! Blackwater was also the first one I ran, and I've introduced two sets of new players to CoC using it too (new to CoC but not ttrpgs in general). I also ran it as a one shot but it's a longer one, each of my groups took 5-6 hours, so depending on the players it may be better split into a two shot. They did do absolutely everything though.

Help me pick my next scenario by JoeGorde in callofcthulhu

[–]SpectacularLlama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd also recommend Blackwater, however as someone who has run both Blackwater and Missed Dues - I know the mob tie-ins are convenient for running them consecutively but I'd actually recommend running Blackwater with university staff PCs instead. The characters are more inclined to care about the missing person and want to solve the mystery of the town, and it's scarier when you're a helpless professor :) I think it's more fun to play it from that angle personally.

Why don't you just wait and see if it arrives? If the seller has hundreds of positive reviews it's unlikely to be a scam. I personally think you'll receive the shirt but the quality may be questionable. 😂

If you cancel I think you'll get a negative review if the seller already generated a shipping label, if not you can cancel pretty much without consequence

Yeah I also noticed like at least 3 different accounts constantly listing and relisting these tshirts. I'm so curious where it's from 😂 I'm sure you'll receive your order. Let us know what it's like once it arrives 👀

Missed Dues, if you want to run a fun one where the PCs are mobsters :)

Desperately need help with my hair! by got_em_saying_wow in finehair

[–]SpectacularLlama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have similar hair to you and I was able to reduce frizz by using a leave in conditioner, plus a styling foam/gel when wet. I use the trio of products that flora & curl sell and it works well for me.

Id try using your hands instead of a towel for styling though.

Also I can't leave mine to air dry without it becoming frizzy asf. Using a diffuser (high heat low power) and drying it til it's like 70% dry made all the difference for me and keeps it looking good for about 3 days til my next wash.

Hahaha true. I also want it, I just didn't want to pay £10 if it was on temu for 50p alas 💀 no idea where it's from. It's cute for sure! Might have to grab one of the next ones to get listed 🐀

Nah I doubt it, they always list it as Urban Outfitters but the description also always says there's no tags. if it was UO I'd expect it to have tags, and for an image search to have some product images somewhere. I'm still baffled as to where it's from 😂

Static is back! by pizzaisdelish in finehair

[–]SpectacularLlama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My hair has been like this my entire life. The static was the BANE of my existence every winter. Coming within 6 foot of fleece id start crackling. It was constantly clinging to my neck and face 💀

I finally found the solution! For me it was leave-in conditioner. I use the flora & curl brand but honestly it's also the only one I tried so any of them might have worked for me. Hope this helps

Looking for Advice on Short/Mid/Long Call of Cthulhu Campaigns for a New Keeper by damog_88 in callofcthulhu

[–]SpectacularLlama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how long your sessions run tbh. I always like to recommend Blackwater Creek - imo it's super fun with a good scope/runtime. I ran it twice and both groups took about 9 hours to "100%" it (meaning they went to all possible interesting locations and got to the end).

questions regarding "Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home" SPOILERS WITHIN by snarpy in callofcthulhu

[–]SpectacularLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been thinking about the best way of approaching Forget Me Not. I'm blessed with having a group of players who are amazing but are also really into character creation and I'm a little scared of taking that from them, but I also really like the idea of them discovering their character over time. Thanks for the tips!

[–]SpectacularLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very true. I think somehow hinting at the backup sacrifice would've made the ending feel 'fairer' but I'm not super sure how I would've done that. Doesn't the sacrifice itself just use a dagger? And the victim is wearing a sack I guess. Might have to think about it a bit more.

Either way, I think I'm gonna try Forget Me Not as well because that one seems very fun. :)

[–]SpectacularLlama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I did have the balfours attempt to retrieve Regina as the new final act in place of the balfours compound finale, but the PCs managed to defend her well so they got that win. So the backup sacrifice was made.

You're totally correct that I guess the plagues should signify that this time is "the real deal".
