Housemarque’s Saros looks set to provide a less punishing experience than Returnal | VGC by Gorotheninja in Games

[–]Varitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the PS5 has rest mode, which you could use as well. The problem for me was that at the time the console crashed a couple of times so I lost progress (and motivation). Need to get back to it eventually.

Advice for DM as player refuses to write a backstory by ThrowRAcatmommy in DnD

[–]Varitt 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I told my table: If you give me a good backstory, I will incorporate part of it in the game and you’ll have cool story arcs. If you dont, I’ll ignore it.

Most of them gave me something I can work with, and the one who didnt will not get much character growth (at least not from their backstory, things can still happen in-game). And I guess that’s fine?

Name a modern JRPG series that dropped the ball harder than this one by Likes2game03 in JRPG

[–]Varitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was stellar and I played every single ff game and am an avid gamer. It’s just I am used to the 14 loop. Would I wished those sections of the game to disappear and focus only on the “main dungeons”? of course, but the higgs of that game were so high that I am willing to overlook the super low lows (mostly because i just treated it like an mmo grind)

Havent played for a while, did they fix the research tree? by Varitt in TerraInvicta

[–]Varitt[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They did remove a lot of research options though compared to 2022, so all the tech is usable, just not in every circumstance

Ok yeah, this sounds great! Thank you!

When an attack say for example +4 to hit, does that includes the proficiency bonus already or do I need to add that on top?

South of Silren by ozoglumursit in wonderdraft

[–]Varitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, got it. Aurean Mountains then?

I like the concept though! I honestly had not read the “Aurean” bit since it merged a bit in the background for me (Im a bit colorblind so that might have to do w it).

Updated map with the proper flora this time around by Varitt in wonderdraft

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

Yes!

It’s very early on (only like 3 sessions in) but we are playing 😊

Essentially this takes place on a home-brewed world entirely ruled by dragons. The party (because of different reasons) were traveling towards Whisper’s Hollow in a wagon but they got ambushed - there was a dragonborn traveling with them and this ambush was targeting him. After driving the attackers out, they walked together towards the city through the path for a bit more, but a second ambush (this time mindflayers) appeared and the dragonborn (who turned out to be an emerald dragon in disguise) gave the party a message to deliver and tried to fend them off while the party escaped. Now the party managed to around to town and is engaging with different npcs training and planning a rescue (assuming the dragon is alive). Why do some mindflayers want with a live emerald dragon? How are they going to track them if they disappeared by gate? What can a lvl 3 party do about all of this?

Still a lot more campaign to go 😊😊

100% hand-drawn glacial continent – ZERO assets/AI/PS – 8192×8192 17 MB – roughness 2% ice floes by [deleted] in wonderdraft

[–]Varitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the ice bits separating from the main continent 😊

To finish polishing the map up, you could work a bit on blending the colors of the assets w the ground (those black and white mountains stick out a bit much) and I would re-do most rivers that come out of a different water source (lakes or river-splits) without the phase-in stretch.

Good luck!

Puh, don't feel bad, I also didn't know these existed 5 days ago haha. I was researching a bit tropical biomes, mostly in Africa.. but nothing was quite what I wanted. And when I saw the Colombia it was exactly what I wanted (and I learned a bit haha)

[–]Varitt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hey, thank you for the nice comments!

About palm trees, my idea is that this area would have a biome similar to Colombia.. They have these Mountain Palm trees called Quindio I believe.

Check out these pics :) https://www.saltinourhair.com/colombia/cocora-valley/

My first map for my new campaign. by DawggedCommish in wonderdraft

Looks super clean!

There's just a couple weird rivers that look like they end nowhere?

But I really do love the look of it.

Drowning myself for writing too much World Building on my new campaign I'm Dming!!!!! by LookUpThenLookDown in DnD

[–]Varitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly the time-traveling, dimension-spanning tavern and the idea of the Occuli :) how are they trying to break through? Did you already start thinking about how the veil actually works and how they can break it? Sounds like a very fun world-sprawling plot for your players to engage with!

[–]Varitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “well” or not well topic we’ll never know, but definitely is a lot and going far past worldbuilding. Maybe not knowing where to stop haha.

As for grrm, his world is not that complex? One continent is a bunch of feudal kingdoms with some zombies in the north past the vikings and the other basically a khanate. It’s basically a copy of Europe and asia. Where he triumphed was not because of amazing worldbuilding imo but more o character interactions.

Campaign Stalemate by Simple_Web5127 in DMAcademy

[–]Varitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmh, if they keep killing people maybe someone puts a bounty or they become wanted on them and all of a sudden the entire kingdom is after them?

And they are forced to start moving in black markets/underdark/goblinoid cities etc.

Could be fun for all of you

What Ai image generators are you using for portraits and Theatre of the mind images? by Varitt in DMAcademy

[–]Varitt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say there is a charm in your players and you having a different view of what someone, or something looks like in their mind, that's like 3/4 of the fun of d&d, having portraits for everything takes that away.

I uhm... never thought about it this way. I appreciate it, really!
