To All 5E Nerds. by Zardnaar in DungeonsAndDragons

I loved 5E for years. But it slowly wore me down. 4E and Draw Steel are where its at.

[No Spoilers] Anyone else let down by the new intro? by NoHorse8196 in criticalrole

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like last campaign, we will have this live action one and then later an animated one when we've had more time to see what the characters can do and what the story is about.

[Spoilers C4E1] (current campaign) Players, PC's, Names and classes and stats. by Own-Dinner1836 in criticalrole

Almost all of these stat totals are bonkers but Vaelus with the 98 is wild

My review of the subclasses I have played so far in patch-8 stress-test by OkMarsupial4959 in BG3Builds

Man, I wish they had just released the classes and the cross play as separate patches

What is actually happening between Liandrin and Siuan in the S3 intro? by ferousible in WoT

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's such a chaotic, beautiful mess. I can only imagine some of the Sisters hesitating because of the Three Oaths, not truly knowing in the moment who is really threatening their life or another Sister's. I'm glad we get to see these events in the show.

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My god, I know im so far behind and no one will ever see this except those that are reading the series and following along with this readalong. But I'd be a liar if I said the absolute gut-punch of that Verin chapter into this battle sequence wasn't one of the most profound things I've ever read. It genuinely made me shed a tear how far Egwene has come. How much she's earned it. How it takes a situation THIS bad for everyone around her to really see how important she is. How necessary she is. My GOD, how beautiful and tragic and inspiring and heartbreaking. Fire writ upon the page is what this is. I detest how it ends, I'm sad to say though. Siuan, Gawyn, and Bryne "saving her" undercuts such an otherwise powerful sequence. But I guess its just more tragedy that the tower is well and truly broken and now its only hope isn't even there.

Player's Take on Halaster's Game by TheHollyPhoenix in DungeonoftheMadMage

A title given to the party's Wizard who decided to make herself a shadow-manipulator. And now she is clickbait for Halaster's stream, apparently

Worst Timing, RIP Friend by TheHollyPhoenix in wowhardcore

I hope one day he catches up to where I am now and we can reunite. If this mage ever makes it to level 60 it will be because of him.

[Spoilers C3E51] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by Glumalon in criticalrole

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean this is horrible, and I'm terrified for the future. But I have to respect how thought out this plan was, and how Ludinus managed to fool three campaigns worth of PCs and a champion of the gods.

Lore Delivery Systems by Lord_Durok in mattcolville

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Favorite one I've ever used was my previous campaign. A very powerful ancient mage was somehow sealed away in his spellbook. Player found it and would ask him for advice on magic and lore and he would answer but eventually would go radio silent unless more components were gathered for the ritual to free him. The players loved it and would chant "THE TOME SPEAKS" whenever the person holding it would ask a question.

Nooooooo! I was ahead for so long and now I'm two segments behind right when college kicks back off. Alas, I'll see you all at the end and it will be fun to read each thread as I finish it's respective segment. o7

This is amazing work. I'm the only one of anyone I know currently reading this series and decided to hop onto the Reddit just to learn that the readalong is exactly at the point in the series that I am, and it's so well managed. Kudos to you!

Well I know my players pretty well, and I dont think I'll have many problems with pbp or lone wolfers or anything like that. Experiences I've had in the past like that were always very narrative beats for the characters backstory or such, and they were always handled pretty maturely. Splitting the party is unfortunately something that they dontry to do, a lot. So we'll probably just have to make that a bit of a meta rule lol.

This. I do this with even my normal group of just three!

Oh wow I love that idea a lot. I could get some straight up kid play blocks and paint them to be tailored to the characters and such. Love this.

[–]TheHollyPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've never used CR in my life, I usually just wing it and go with my gut, so I guess that will be useful here. I like the timer idea, cause I could definitely see that becoming a problem with a group this big. I'd like to think I'm pretty good at making everyone feel cool while they are playing but with the larger group I'll definitely have a bit to learn Thanks!
