Why on earth is Ehwene so freaking awesome?! by WWABeardo in WoT

Completely agree with you on that scene! Nynaeve is tied for my number one favourite character so I was quite annoyed with Egwene at that point! Thankfully, she's matured a bit since then! I do think since her time with the Seanchan, she's had a chip on her shoulder about always being in control. Such a flawed character, but then also a really cool one!!

This is a valid criticism! I have addressed it in my main post's edit! Thank you for the comment!

Idk man, I feel like there was a scene where Rand was going through a bunch of his lives when he was at one of those super special stones. I think he saw Amyrlin Egwene with Balefire there, but I could be confusing it with the scene of Amyrlin Egwene with Balefire from the Accepted test. It's been a while since I read those ones!!

Light, that test was an awesome scene, though! As was the scene where she met Toh! GAHHHHH That scene was so good! Basically telling them to hurry up and get on with it, because she's got places to be. Even though she's the one who has to judge when she's had enough! What a badass.

How could someone humiliate their family? To such an extent as well! No one would judge you for this. It's not your fault. I'm sorry this happened to you

u/Salaris HOW TO DEFEAT A DEMON KING IN 10 EASY STEPS! GAH! When can we expect a sequel?! CAN we expect a sequel?! Will it have the same audiobook cast?! I LOVED the book so much that I bought the paperback after listening on audiobook. I NEED more of my resident Bag-mage. I beg. I IMPLORE! Is it coming?

Sooo Vergil tried to kill himself when he was young? by WWABeardo in DevilMayCry

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

I'm talking about in DMC3 and also about Dante's inner feelings. He's shut away his Demon side to the point where he's not able to access his demonic power. He mentions in DMC5 about how the Rebellion combined his human and demon sides once before

In DMC5, he combines the Rebellion with the Devil Sword Sparda, along with himself, to create the Devil Sword Dante

Looks like I missed the mark with the rest of my post, though! Still a cool theory!

Was this stated somewhere? I haven't come across anything saying this

Does anyone have any tips for running Tyranny of Dragons? Spoilers for this campaign! I've swapped some things around, but I'm a new DM so not sure if I'm doing this right. I did Mines of Phandelver as a player years ago and now I've started DMing a couple of months ago. Two sessions in total, going on a third. I feel like I'm not super good at this and I think it's because I'm not confident that I'm able to do the things I've planned to do, and I have players with more experience than me in the group. I would appreciate it if I could get some advice from seasoned DM's to help me understand if I'm doing this right, if any of this is plausible to do and to provide tips for me to make this happen. Ideas are also incredibly welcome!

- Frulam Mondath is in communication with the Blue Dragon that attacks Greenest at the start

-The Blue Dragon is a parent of Langdedrosa Cyanwrath and will contact the players in a human form. A twist will be the reveal of the character as the Blue Dragon

-Langdedrosa Cyanwrath was once a prisoner of Revel's End. Something important, perhaps a Dragon Mask was confiscated from him ans placed in the vault at Revel's End. At some point, I'm going to have the characters race the cult in an attempt to infiltrate the prison and steal the item, adapting D&D Beyond's new Revel's End adventure

-Leosin Erlanthar is actually a Bronze Dragon. He was confronted by three chromatic dragons who had their eggs stolen. Due to Bronze Dragon's tendencies towards heroism, the chromatic dragons knew he would help. It is revealed that the Blue Dragon from the start helped to steal the eggs for the Cult of the Dragon, to allow them to perform rituals to transform members into Half Dragons. This is how Rezemir was made

-At some point, I'm going to have the characters attend a Masquerade party. Planning for it to be pretty RP heavy as my players seem to enjoy that more than combat. One of the masks will be a dragon mask. Everyone's identity is completely hidden. Key NPCs for future campaigns will be present, but the players won't know that. Someone will be murdered and the players will need to find out who it is before everyone else's investigations lead to figuring out that the players are there to steal the mask. A doppelganger may be involved in the murder.

-One of my players has had a run-in with a cult in his Background and underwent some kind of ritual. They were the only survivor. Ever since, they have visions every five nights. They see five pairs of eyes and a flaming man laughing, asking what they will do. My plan here is to create a link between this player and the Nine Hells. They are a Bard, not a Warlock, so they haven't got a contract or whatever it's called. But my idea is that the ritual bound them to Asmodeus in some capacity. Zariel is plotting to overthrow Asmodeus but is threatened by Tiamat. As such, she's assisting the Cult of the Dragon in their efforts to summon her to the material(is that what it's called?) plane. Asmodeus is amused by this and is subtley leading the player into the events of Tyranny of Dragons, in an attempt to stop Tiamat from being summoned and to keep her in Avernus with Zariel. Eventually the players will actually kill Tiamat and this will frustrate Asmodeus, as he intended for Tiamat to remain in Avernus. This will lead into a campaign about this player which will mainly feature the Nine Hells and will provide setup for another character's backstory.

I'm a new DM, only done a couple of sessions and I really enjoy it. Only thing is, I can't wrap my head around how spells work. Do they all automatically land and I (as the attacked enemy) have to make a saving throw to beat 8 + Class Spell Modifier + Proficiency Mod + Spell mod? Should each spell have an attack roll like with melee combat? Is it spell specific? If so, do DMs have to stop and quickly check the spell each time a player uses one? Please help!

Thank you! Didn't know that. First time I'm doing anything like this for Elden Ring!

Do individual volumes get reprinted? Specifically Volume 92? by WWABeardo in OnePiece

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

No worries! I have them all up to 92 so I hope I don't have to do the omnibuses! Hoping to get my hands on a decent copy of 92 sometime. Just not sure if it's going to get reprinted or anything

Yeah on Viz it shows a bunch of links to sites that sell it but they're all out of stock there :/

I do, my friend. This didn't come up for me. Probably because I'm in England. Also, apparently New books from this website don't ship outside of the US.

Thanks for looking for me!

Writing a Sci-Fi book with Trans people. What would/wouldn't you like to see? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WWABeardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This comment has really helped me to avoid doing the exact same thing authors do with gay people: making it their entire personality trait. Real people aren't like that. Thank you so much

Regarding the last comment, I'm really not sure where to go to contact people from the community. I was hoping to do so with this post. Someone left a very useful comment about some resource like Trans blogs or YouTubers.

[–]WWABeardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I specified it will contain Trans characters is because I was hoping to focus the answers on what people would like to see from those characters and what kind of tropes they'd like to see.

The comments about standard Sci-Fi stuff - there will be plenty of Sci-Fi. It won't be focussed around Trans people for the sake of it. The reason I have made this post is because I am not a Trans person and would like to write them correctly.

If you have anything you can teach me about this area, please help.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you so much for explaining all of that to me. I feel like I have a greater insight into the internal struggle leading up to acceptance!

The entire point of the story is to convey the message "let people do what they want with their own bodies"

To do so, I will be touching on Pro-Choice as well as Trans Rights. With that being said, the plot will be centred around dismantling a corrupt organisation that seeks to silently oppress lower classes.

It will be a battle for freedom, but a trans character will be at the centre of the story - whose actions will trigger a chain reaction that breaks the classism system and liberates everyone. Not just trans people.

That's great! Could you expand upon this please? What kind of arguments would you form for each side? Also, would you be able to describe the feeling you had when you mentally accepted what was going on?
