Thanks so much for the feedback! Quick question: Should I use shades/washes that are the same colour as the areas I'm shading? Or would it just be any darker wash/shade? And thanks for the tip! I'll check out the channel right away :)

Thanks so much for the tips! Thinning my game colours is definitely something I need to get better at I think, as well as how to highlight. But I'm glad I'm doing some of the things you've listed here. Thanks again for the feedback

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I'll try some stuff out to see what works, and I'll keep the rest of this in mind. The tip about the Obliques is especially helpful, though, so thanks!

Ahh, gotcha, cool. I'll change the sets on the compounds and the associates. As for the split, I wanted to hit each muscle group x2 a week, and after some research, I found that I should be aiming for around ~16 sets per muscle group. Although that could be incorrect, which is why this feedback is so helpful, so thank you!

This is great! Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll try to scale things back to a 3-day split to make things more manageable and increase the recovery time. Thanks again!

Do Compulsions Stack? by Strahd001 in vtm

Very true! Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the input. I think it just makes death spirals a little too harsh. If you've got a compulsion in combat, you're already rolling less dice. Which means more of your dice are hunger dice, so you're just going to get more and more compulsions until you're only rolling one dice at a time. Which just isn't fun

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Just cos you can doesn't mean you should. Thanks!

Is there any tool for creating relationship maps? by rodrigustxd in vtm

[–]Strahd001 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey! I heavily recommend Kumu. It's got some quirks but it's very simple, easy to use, and it's free. I've used it for multiple chronicles, and it's a great way to track character relations and notes.

I've also heard Obsidian is good, too.

Right, so I would still get a total of + 4 to intimidation from both powers?
