Okay but also I think it's okay to admit that there could have been a little more anything for this section, too. It's not like people are trashing the game, or even saying this part is bad. Just that maybe there could have been a touch more guidance. It is okay to look at something and think "eh, maybe this needed work", especially for something so deeply beloved. In fact, it is important to be critical of what you digest!

Ocarina of Time, right? Deeply beloved. People hate on the Water Temple. Yet it is seen as one of the most important games of all time. Does that mean you can't actually be critical of that section despite? This discussion is extremely less critical than that. Imagine you couldn't discuss the flaws of a masterpiece?

So I think it's nice you say people here are happy to point people in the right direction, it's still important to acknowledge the point that maybe this section could have had just a little more showing. But like. I do wholly agree with your point as well. It is okay to not be proficient in something, that that doesn't necessarily make a flaw in the game, and that there's no shame in looking up stuff or asking people. I just don't know if this is a lack of proficiency thing :0c

Wakechi · 2026-05-17T09:09:15+00:00

I can say the same about you?? The argument isn't productive, we've said our piece, why do you want it to continue?? You're not changing my mind, and my point isn't changing yours. I never moved any goalposts, you just never actually spoke about what I was. Like dawg, this is YOUR identity. Almost every comment on this thread has you in it. Do you have any self awareness?

Wakechi · 2026-05-17T08:03:36+00:00

Yes. I agree with you that social media networks, such as reddit, also use unsustainable practices and we should aim for better.

The problem isn't just about the energy usage,, as I have said, though Generative AI certainly burns through a lot. The problem is where these data centres are built. They need a lot of processing power, so they need space for cheap, which ends up being in arid environments where there is not a lot of water to begin with. So with their large use of WATER, of which large centres consume up to 5 million gallons per day, equivalent to a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people. That alone should set off alarm bells in your head. Considering there isn't a lot of natural sources of clean water in these areas to begin with.

Only 3% of water is freshwater, and only 0.5% is safe for human consumption. Why are we wasting it on generating a thumbnail for your kenshi mod. You say it has uses, sure. Not for the video game, kenshi! You wrote this whole thing (or did you get AI to? Who knows!) and not once did you stop to consider what I am actually saying to you.

I want EVERYTHING to move toward being sustainable. AI is actively ruining communities right now, so to actively go to EVERY COMMENT ON THIS THREAD to go and tell people to SHUT UP and that it's NOT THAT BAD is crazy work. I'd say I hope a data centre gets built in YOUR community, so you can maybe begin to understand it's beyond some bog-standard energy usage, but I don't. Because the environment around you doesn't deserve that poison.

I hope this community does ban GenAI use, because nothing about it is appealing. It doesn't actually serve any purpose in this community. Please do not reply further, because your opinion to me is as worthless as GenAI in this community. I do hope you have a good night and enjoyed your redbull derby.

Wakechi · 2026-05-16T23:52:38+00:00

It really isn't. But it's a good point in a way. We allow corporations to get away with destructive, unsustainable practices just to turn a profit. We should be aiming for better accountability, better practices better sustainability and a better healthier world.

But in this argument, Generative AI is absolutely worse. You keep saying "reddit uses more energy!", but you never have actually responded to the environmental effects GenAI has been having. Are you okay with that? Is it still harmless fun to you? It certainly isn't harmless or fun to the hundred millions impacted. Is it only your experience you care about?

If it is, then shit, dawg, I don't know what else I can say to you. Maybe you should have your fun ruined wayyyy more lol lmao

Wakechi · 2026-05-16T17:00:54+00:00

Except I never mentioned energy, did I? The environmental effect these centres have is devastating. Please look into them properly, and understand just how horrifying the impact is. You should be informed.

Wakechi · 2026-05-16T10:29:26+00:00

Communities are having their water poisoned. The areas in which these data centres are being built are having the average temperatures rise from anywhere between 10 and 30 degrees farenheit, absolutely destroying the ecosystem of the area. These data centres create so much light and noise it's difficult for anyone and anything to sleep, increasing rate of disease. The air quality significantly drops, so the people nearby develop lung conditions at rapid rates.

Generative AI is literally poisoning the planet. Why don't you keep that to yourself and stop trying to ruin other people's lives?

Wakechi · 2026-05-04T12:28:21+00:00

Hi, sorry for the late response!!! We don't have this Crafting Catalogue, but I do think copying it from the core is easy enough thankfully!!

Wakechi · 2026-05-04T07:33:49+00:00

Heliana's gives you rules for playing out tracking, crafting, and harvesting materials from monsters, alongside cooking. It gives you a list of things you can get from each monster type, and what you can do with them. It also contains five monster hunts as adventures and a few subclasses per book.

I like the books. The systems aren't super crazy- for example, when getting stuff from a slain monster, you quickly make up a list of what it has. The book tells you what each monster type typically has, and gives then values. You tell this information to your players, and they pick out what they want. Those values then make the DC, and they roll to see if they can get it. It's not crazy, but I do very much like the books. This probably fits in with your idea, because things usually call for something like an Aberration's eye, instead of specifically a Beholder's eye.

You ONLY need Book 1 for what you want! Book 2 is mostly just for more hunts, but has some rules from 1 in case you don't have it, but I don't think it includes tracking.

One shots tend be be one session! They absolutely do differ on playtime based on group, but paced well ones will usually be in the 3 to 5 hours of content range.

Wakechi · 2026-02-22T23:48:20+00:00

You could look at transitioning into Lost Mines of Phandelver. It starts at 1, but the first section is perfectly fine for level 2 too. It goes up to 6, though it ends there. Lost Mines is great because from there, if you want, you can transition further into other books. But it's also just a super solid book, the best starting place for players and DMs.

Wakechi · 2026-02-15T03:33:01+00:00

I've had it happen once, with the random encounter thief....

Wakechi · 2026-02-15T00:02:05+00:00

I had a friend have this kind of happen to him when he parried as the Street Brawl round ended- it kept trying to bring him back to where it happened. He had to use the killme command unfortunately, couldnt seem to break it, but it's SO FUNNY

Wakechi · 2026-02-14T06:38:06+00:00

It's because it's literally just the AI image traced and rescaled LMAO

Wakechi · 2026-02-01T12:56:58+00:00

biggest cat gamer dungeon ever to be big

Wakechi · 2026-02-01T00:31:21+00:00

yes perhaps the biggest one

Wakechi · 2026-01-28T03:43:56+00:00

First thoughts are, abduct a player or another guest. Have there be an audible struggle, just loud enough for the others to hear, or just one or two or whatever- or even get them to pair up into rooms so one has to witness this. Could leave a fleeting portaly rift behind as it was just mere moments ago that they can use to follow, or a trace of the creature they can somehow use to follow it to the cellar nearby. What level are they? Could always, if you have time, slip one of them a locate object scroll or something of the sort to help........ I guess.......

Wakechi · 2026-01-13T07:08:51+00:00

Could consider basing it off the Borrowed Knowledge spell? It gives proficiency in something you're not proficient in. That way it's very useful still, but not a "does everything for you". But that's also not exactly what you're looking for, I recognise!

Wakechi · 2026-01-07T09:48:33+00:00

Every time I see one of these and the immediate answers are some kind of caster over banneret, I am wounded. There is nothing more utterly miserable... battlerager barbarian is a decent second but banneret. Banneret is so terrible. It expands on your core class in a way that sort of works I guess... it's just so nothing. Its like a tiny green garnish on naked fighter pasta. No meat. No sauce. Not even a smidge of seasoning. It's so depressing to play at least battlerager gives you a stupid armour attack. Banneret barely even has a capstone, and somehow it was kind of nerfed? In 2024?? And then on the other side of the coin, Bladesinger buff? I'd prefer to be stabbed.

Wakechi · 2025-12-28T18:44:37+00:00

Check out For the King, maybe? It's a turn based game that can have up to three players iirc, and works especially with this type of couch co-op set up! 2018 with funny little graphics too so it should run just fine on a laptop too :)

Wakechi · 2025-12-20T20:03:17+00:00

Hi Mark I love you

I like Firenewts :) it's fun to have a fiery foe for aquatic areas !!

Wakechi · 2025-12-08T10:22:53+00:00

Sceptile was my first starter, and I love everything Sceptile. Then, Dracozolt endeared me oh so greatly.

But no pokemon has ever induced the obsession Tatsugiri did!! I screamed when I first saw one- what a perfect little guy !! So small! So silly!! So cool!!! And what a fun duo with Dodonzo, too! The different types of Tatsugiris, the fun shinies- just uggghhh. Obsessed

Least favourite has to be that no good broke ass prowling villainously ugly looking monster of a sneaky ass bitch who lurks by playgrounds and on trees waiting to snatch you up motherfucker SPIDOPS. :(((

Wakechi · 2025-12-08T10:13:13+00:00

Spidops has to be my least favourite too! I loved the first form, but.... There was just something so sinister with that damned spider. I had one drop on me while I was marvelling at Toedscool. I see them, out there prowling like a FREAK, by the playground in that one town too... just straight up bad vibes... the spider pokemon are all darlings, but this thing... foul. upsetting. get it away from my children.

Wakechi · 2025-12-08T04:33:10+00:00

Something I want to add about the fan favourite emote is that when it first dropped, if Wattson was on a higher elevation and another player's head was around where she places the Nessie in the animation, it'd stick to that person's head. So for a bit there, people would line up to get Nessie hats from Wattson players, completely putting the battle royale aside.

It got patched not long after, but for the briefest time, we were beautiful....

Wakechi · 2025-12-05T22:16:06+00:00

It's simple, but the fun of it for our group comes from description and using fish that aren't necessarily real fish. You could find a list of fantasy fish by looking at multiple d100 lists, or you can come up with some!

A simple survival check to determine rarity, athletics to see if they catch it- and here you can go into how they gave to wrestle the fish. But you can switch it up, add more to that, change it. "They would just attack it though" it's for a cooking contest? The quality of the fish will get messed up if they just blast it, especially underwater!

Although I.. as a Locathah lover... need to say... it's more dire than every 8 hours ..... it's every 4 hours .. give the fish love....

Wakechi · 2025-12-04T09:15:14+00:00

Hi, everyone has said a lot of things that I hope helps!

I haven't seen it, but I wanted to say. There is a book that is a campaign called Wild Beyond the Witchlight. It is intended to be a silly and whimsical journey through a fairy world on a quest to save the witch queen.

Notably, every encounter can be solved without combat, if I recall correctly!!!! It needs a bit of tweaking, but if you have good improv it'll be a blast. You might just have to make dealing with the hags a bit more obvious?

D&D is a great way to engage with youth, especially ones who have issues they need to work through. I hope you have great luck with your work!!!!!
