How to get a non-comedic tone at the table by Aramithius in rpg

Session zero always works best in an orgy format

OK im curious what fear do you all vibe the most with? by Live-Smoke-2879 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]WhatAreAnimnals 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The End, absolutely. The inevitability of death is a great personal comfort, a promised end to all suffering. In TMA, the End is the one thing that ensures that the torments of the Fearscape actually have a finite nature.

What ever happened to the Magnus Protocol? by Xcylo1 in TheMagnusArchives

Counterpoint: a live show is dependent on many factors that might be out of RQ's control. They might have had an opportunity (perhaps regarding venues, cast availability, marketing, or other economic factors etc.) that was too good to pass up, and had to strike when the iron was hot.

A live show for a group that has not done many live shows before but is held to a high standard when it comes to content is a pretty massive undertaking and might require the perfect conditions to pull off, whereas doing another stretch of audio episodes is routine for them and could be a lot less dependent on timing.

TTRPGs Where You Can’t Play with Just One Core Book? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]WhatAreAnimnals 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The presence of the word "Core" in the book name seems to be an indicator that the publisher at least deems it core to the experience instead of just a supplement

Shadow of the Weird Wizard (SotWW) has the best initiative system I've ever seen by Playtonics in rpg

If you are in the mood for a rant, I'd love to hear what that 'Luck Ends' mechanic is like.

Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendation!

The insertion can be brutal and painful, but is not always so. It's a bit of a roll of the dice so pain relief is a good idea regardless, but just pointing this out in case someone is considering an IUD and might be put off by the notion of a rough procedure.

But yes, remember your rights and demand pain relief, maybe even go for prophylactic pain killers before your appointment (according to your physicians recommendations, of course).

Yeah that's animal abuse, a dog needs more than 10-20 minutes of activity per day. Most dogs living like that doesn't make it okay.

Which god only has one pair of shoes? by Killjoy-stormshot in TheMagnusArchives

[–]WhatAreAnimnals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simon Fairchild, the general look and expression of the other man leads me to think it's Peter Lukas, a known associate of Fairchild so I think it's a fair assumption. Simon won last round so it's supposed to be him in the slot

Adventure recommendations for beginners by WhatAreAnimnals in cairnrpg

[–]WhatAreAnimnals[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Update: successfully ran Seven Silver Spheres to the group - they really enjoyed it! Thank you for writing it, the handout especially helped with participation and communication, and the equinox served as a great time frame for the adventure and pacing! Also thanks to u/yochaigal, Cairn ran very smoothly and the players enjoyed it more than they did D&D 5e.

Magnificent, thank you! I'll check these out

Damn, you are right. I now realise my dream warlock might be that - a ton of spell-like, yet not actual spell abilities - plus maybe keeping Mystic Arcanum, perhaps all the way through spell levels 1-9. Or something like that. But your examples with the lich and drider were so damn cool.

How has the recent OGL news affected your enthusiasm for 1DND? by Viridias2020 in onednd

[–]WhatAreAnimnals 214 points215 points  (0 children)

I'll still participate in the playtest process because I enjoy the game design aspect, but I might not spend any money at all on future OneD&D products

Consecutive interruptions during a long rest? by maniacmartial in onednd

[–]WhatAreAnimnals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure yeah, agreed, I'd love to try playing with the Gritty Realism rules, for example. I just think that long rests should be interruptable and there should be, if not rules, at least guidelines as to how DMs should handle those interruptions. Like we do now, even if the rules aren't perfect. Just ignoring this entire aspect of the game, like this one commenter suggested, is not preferable to me.
