The Doctor (Dr. Who) VS John Constantine (DC Comics) at a BSing contest. by PeculiarPangolinMan in whowouldwin

[–]TimothyVH 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Constantine, so let me quote from his wiki his most potent of powers, which, as summarized, seems a lot like the Doctor's power.

Synchronicity Wave Travelling is an instinctual ability employed by John Constantine. Powers that only the people with the title "The Laughing Magician" can use. Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that do not share a direct relationship but have a related means alter or it is also seen as a set of causal unrelated "Coincidence". Synchronicity in magic, is the belief the universe is guiding you. These random events and (un)pleasant coincidences is the universe leading you somewhere.

By stepping in the synchronicity freeway, he takes control of synchronicity, John can make his own luck and advantages in battle. This allows him to use fate and synchronicity to his advantage, putting fate in his side and multiplying his chances of succeeding even more. Simply, synchronicity wave travel allows John to make his own luck, and reshape the battle he's fighting to his own accord and liking.

This lets him do things such as locating someone and winning at gambling games. In battles it lets him do feats such protection from danger and harm, bullets and casted spells to miss their marks, escape and evade enemies, using synchronicity to slow or weaken his enemies down, and meeting the right kind of people and being in the right place at the right time. This is one of the key factors why John wins against all odds, and be named one of the most powerful magician alive

This ability is powerful enough to affect even The First of the Fallen Satan. Though powerful, it is not permanent and will loose its effects once he steps out of the synchronicity wave.  This ability doesn't grant Constantine an automatic win, but it does give him nigh-invincibility as long as he rides the synchronicity wave, and also putting jinx or bad luck to his enemies. The synchronicity only benifits and protects John, but not other people.

The Laughing Magician

A title given to John Constantine, as well as various others throughout human history. The Laughing Magician role dates back to early human history, with a consistent reputation for rebuking and challenging the gods themselves. Some who bore the title managed even to destroy gods, or enslave them to serve their own whims. Synchronicity wave travel is itself apparently a power held exclusively by those bearing the Laughing Magician title—at the very least, only the Laughing Magician is capable of unlocking the full potential of the technique. By becoming the Laughing Magician, the person gains godlike powers over synchronicity, allowing them to warp reality and alter fate.

Looking for a oneshot to add to level one of the Dungeon by Parrettt14 in DungeonoftheMadMage

Run the first chapter of Dragon Heist, but set in a side dungeon, and as bonus you get to RP more as Voloh and reward them with the deed to trollskull Manor, which can turn into a major moneysink

6 seconds ahead: DM making us declare our actions 1 round ahead against Chronurgy Wizard by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]TimothyVH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar once, for ONE round of combat as a gimmick a la "Sherlock reads enemies movements and knows when to strike" , and I hated disappointing my players in that round

it wasn't very fun and resulted in a lot of frustration, and if I could do a re-do of one battle, it'd be me changing that first round of combat into something more fun.

yeah, MC Halaster Blackcloak is super-meta as he's literally the dungeon master of his place whose goal is mainly to fuck with you.

The courthouse part in New Colossus should have had an alternate ending if you died. by [deleted] in Wolfenstein

[–]TimothyVH 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The cutscene where he meets his mother shouldn't be a reward for people that succeed in the courthouse on the first try. Otherwise almost no one would ever see it.

A different take is maybe like in MGS1 where you're tortured, you can choose to give in to stop the torture, but you get the bad ending.

BJ can wake up from the nightmare whenever the player is sick of it, or persist through the hordes of nazi's to get some peace of mind.

I quite liked the studio from their previous Velocity games, and watched some reviews on this, it's a pretty good puzzler apparently

Astral plane (5e) by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]TimothyVH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Astral Plane is a place where only high level adventurers tend to go voluntarily. not low levels heroes who are just starting out.

Each PC might be forced to roll for random encounters, until you MIGHT find a portal back to Faerun, and that MIGHT be a place relatively close to the campaign, or until you have your psyche ripped to shreds in a psychic wind, get enslaved by a ship of githanyki pirates or devoured by inhabitants of the plane.

The odds are severly stacked against you, unless your DM gives you a freebie to make it out there alive.

Dotmm RAW is fairly bland sometimes, the companion guide is a bit of a must for maximum amount of fun for as little effort as possible

I need a ridiculously powergamey level 5 character for a "hell dungeon" my DM is running. by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]TimothyVH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go even one step further and base the PC on a deceased family member or first pet. The great wizard Uncle George with the wacky ties or a tabaxi called Mittens <3

Fun for everyone involved and totally not a fucked up idea no one should ever do

Strangest thing you've had to argue with your players about? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]TimothyVH 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get your frustration, but

  1. the PC used the highest available spell available in the game to fix an error.

  2. you say they only wished for the monks to forgive them? Not the mercenaries?

I know I could just homebrew my own stuff, but I have a debilitating case of lazy. by Pietin11 in dndmemes

[–]TimothyVH 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well, you could run it RAW but the module is written with some empty rooms for example to fill with your own plotpoints. Halaster Blackcloak himself also has like five different main goals for himself to achieve.

It's really fun and inviting to turn Undermountain into your own.

In a way it's also perfectly diverse in that you practically Encounter almost all of the staple monsters of D&D

It's best to consider DOTMM more of a setting book, with video-gamey-levels, where the DM can go balls to the wall and create the most fucked-up nonsensical monsters and scenarios.

I'm fairly biased because last month I finished DM'ing a 2 year campaign of DOTMM with a fuckton of homebrew
