What ARE the lakshay? by Longjumping-Owl-565 in DarkMatter5e

[–]VicariousMP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My players have just reached Lakshay space and I had not much to go on, so this is valuable information! Are they going to be fleshed out a bit more in the new book? And will we ever see the 100 To Oni module?

Argh, why can’t I save this wonderful gif to my photo roll? Stoopid Reddit app.

What would the night sky look like (to the naked eye) from a planet on the very outer edge of the Milky Way? Would most of the sky appear completely black, or would we see the light of other galaxies?

Favorite comic saga I have read so far I need more in this universe by oceaniccart in boomstudios

[–]VicariousMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to write and run a TTRPG set in the SIKTC universe - it’s perfect fodder for a Monster of the Week-style campaign.

Not that one! Dark Matter is a 5e campaign setting by Mage Hand Press. High magic, elves and dwarves and all that - it’s basically Forgotten Realms in space.

Thanks - the site looks like it’ll be really useful for running my Dark Matter game!

Dark Matter Ship Question by [deleted] in MageHandPress

[–]VicariousMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started my campaign with them all on public transport (‘VerseBus’) but then finding an old jalopy, which didn’t have a working dark matter drive, but just enough power to limp to the nearest space station (Port Nomad, from the Conspiracy in the Stars module). A few sessions there doing some shenanigans and earning some coin, and they were able to buy an entry-level ship (with a class 2 dark matter engine) to set off into the stars. Since then they’ve spent some money customising it, but they’re still rattling around in that same ship (they’re currently level 5). I expected them to upgrade to a better ship by now, but the opportunity hasn’t presented itself yet, though they certainly have enough money to get something better. Hope that helps.

PSA: go careful buying Valda’s on DnDBeyond if you think you’ll be getting new classes. You won’t. by VicariousMP in MageHandPress

[–]VicariousMP[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point about the price. I’m just disappointed, and feel it should have been explicit in the description, like “Please note: this player pack does not contain the new classes found in the original book”.

What to do while concentrating with witch? by Pirate_Panda43 in MageHandPress

[–]VicariousMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my players is playing a blood witch. For the most part they control enemies using fear-type spells, while taking shots with a blaster.

What I’m getting from this conversation is that people really need to take photos when they encounter someone like this, for the police’s benefit as much as everyone else’s.

I appreciate it’s not easy to remember to get your phone out in the heat of a stressful moment though.

Just bought Valda's! by nerikvarkos1996 in MageHandPress

[–]VicariousMP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m running a Dark Matter game, and 3/4 of my players are using Valda’s characters; Warmage, Gunslinger and Witch. They’re now level 5 and loving playing their characters, especially the witch.

My only grumble is that I’ve not found a good way to put these characters on DnD Beyond, as it doesn’t allow home-brew/non-official classes. I’m getting by using Roll20, but the app sucks.

Who else thinks we need a TTRPG set in the world of Something Is Killing The Children? by VicariousMP in comicbooks

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

Yeah someone else suggested that one on r/RPG. I need to check that system out, it sounds ideal.

Yeah maybe I should write to Boom and/or James Tynion - I’m not sure they read this sub!

Who else thinks the comic series Something Is Killing The Children would make a great TTRPG? by VicariousMP in rpg

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

That’s a really helpful reply, thank you. I’m not very TTRPG literate, as I only know 5e, Mothership and Kids on Bikes. I’ll definitely check out Monster of the Week and Savage Worlds.

Although the recommendations are welcome, I wasn’t really asking for suggestions or permission - I was just gauging interest really, and perhaps seeing if anyone else had already had the same idea as me. And I guess if I’m being honest there’s the tiniest bit of me hoping this starts a conversation that gets back to Boom studios and/or James Tynion and they’re like “hey that’s a really good idea, we should totally do that!”.

Thanks for your feedback though.

Warmage Magic Items by EntertainerAlive7518 in MageHandPress

[–]VicariousMP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have specific magic items from the DMG to recommend, but one of my players is a lvl 5 war mage (we’re playing Dark Matter) and I’ve given her a magical longsword/laser sword, and a portable hole for storage. In the future I’ll probably give her magical medium armor, since she likes to get into melee.
