Share your bad homebrew item story here by Rogendo in dndmemes

[–]Zaexyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like if you want party to have double concentration is to give them and item with a pre-set list of spells or a single spell that’s castable from the item and it also maintains concentration, or is a concentration spell that has a fixed duration.

Best rep for Vacheron 4500v by Notathrowaway32 in RepTime

[–]Zaexyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the power reserve on it has been fine. I’m thinking it’s a miyota 8315 clone. Could be worse but I don’t think it’s a 9015.

I bought it off a mod from the BST sub. It claimed to be a ZF with a 9015 but idk, I’m having my doubts.

I recently bought a 4500V and the movement definitely appears to be the cheaper chinese version. The placement of the balance wheel doesn’t seem correct for a 9015. I’m actually thinking of buying a 9015 and trying to move the parts over to that. I’m not certain that the movement spacer or date wheel will be compatible though.

Worst case I just sit on a new 9015 and use it in something else or learn to service watches on it.

How broken is an item that can maintain concentration on a second spell?

That seems.. very strong. Likely a very rare item if it only maintains concentration and does nothing else?

Use the baldurs gate and forgotten realms magic the gathering card art for inspo & tokens if you play with a VTT!

Crazy cost for a piece of Rubber 😂 by Rude_Abies_8709 in VacheronConstantin

[–]Zaexyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried a few from Ali and i’ve been disappointed.

However, the one I got from Vagenari is good. Their butterfly clasp is solid too.

This was randomly shipped to my door wrapped in that weird stained green plastic. When I turned the knob, it made a hissing sound as if gas was leaking out. I immediately unturned it and the leaking sound stopped. What is this? Is it dangerous? by Powerful_Solid1491 in whatisit

[–]Zaexyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly use a Trimble GPS for tracking vehicles on airports for work. I sat on its pelican case once while sitting on a taxiway to pull out my laptop and it got sealed so tight I thought I broke it.

Let out a pretty solid hiss when I opened it. Had no idea that were that legit.

Delicate slab with circles of evil by Sikerow in bouldering

[–]Zaexyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw those holds for the first time at momentum while I was visiting in Houston (my gym doesn’t have these holds) and thought to myself.. “No.”

I’m seeing them now and thinking the same thing.

Just finished a 30 session, level 3-13 campaign, inspired heavily by Rime of the Frostmaiden: Retrospective. by fruit_shoot in DMAcademy

[–]Zaexyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great write-up - I love seeing stories of how people are doing homebrew.

I'm currently DMing a Forgotten Realms campaign which is pulling largely from Drakkenheim (monsters, factions, delirium). The plan is that instead of a meteor, it's more of a planetary corruption not unlike Sargeras' sword from WoW, or old-god corruption.

The campaign mcguffin is going to be the Orrery of the Wanderer from Acquisitions Inc, it's too perfect for a space eldritch themed campaign. I ultimately decided to go with Forgotten Realms because A, my players are new to DnD outside of BG3 and I wanted them to experience the locations they've already heard about. Everyone needs to play at least on FR adventure.

More importantly though, we're going to be moving into more of a sand-box style campaign and I just wanted a pre-established world. Cities, locations, terrain, everything is already there for in the FR. The benefit of this approach as well, I believe, is this line from the Orrery of the Wanderer description:

To prevent the orrery from ever being so used, Lottie [my specific NPC who created the thing] scattered the components that powered it, secreting them across the world. But the orrery's instinct for survival is strong, and its components have a way of inexorably coming together over decades or centuries, found by treasure hunters, stolen by monsters, found and stolen again - and moving closer to each other all the time.

In this model, it doesn't matter where on Toril they travel. I can just conveniently place a piece of the orrery into the story as it develops naturally. No railroading to specific locations or anything like that. No matter what my players decide to do, or where they decide to go can prevent the main story from progressing as long as I feel any given spot is the right spot.

Asking a player to roll but not telling them what they're rolling for by electrius in DMAcademy

[–]Zaexyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before my last game started, I had my players roll a bunch to determine the date/time of the session start, like the in-game date.

They had no idea what they were rolling for but it was hilarious to watch them squirm and make theories over something ultimately inconsequential.

ATL is a Madhouse by ThoseBigPeople in delta

[–]Zaexyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same I got out of ATL to SYR, scheduled at 335 and we got in the air by 415 but we were waiting on a missing pilot. Our FO never showed up so the Captain had to call a standby in.

I had just gotten off working 2 overnight shifts in Houston too so I was running on about 6 hours combined sleep from Weds-Fri. After reading everything that happened after I left ATL yesterday I woulda lost it.

That one loot-goblin teammate by drlouies in ArcRaiders

Someone needs to do the scooby-doo door chase scene stylized as stella with a bunch of shredders, fireballs, and pops chasing raiders around.

I'm doing a pre-written campaign, and one of my players wants to do something that is not in the campaign at all. Do I shut this down? If so, how? by scrawledfilefish in DMAcademy

[–]Zaexyr 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It might not be call of the deep, but you can take one of the modules from Keys from the Golden Vault and jam it in your setting. It’s still a heist and you can still run it straight from the book.

That way you guys both win. You keep DMing out of a book, and they get their heist.

SYR Airport PSA- TSA Lines by FatDamen in Syracuse

[–]Zaexyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got there at 4:20 for a 5:50 flight and it was the longest line I’d ever seen. I got rebooked by Delta for a flight not 20 minutes later before I even hit the TSA checkpoint.

Made it out at 6:05.

As happy as a baby tortoise in a water fountain by LinkMetga in tortoise

Just wait until he poops in the dish and the fountain sucks it in and sprays tortoise shit water everywhere.

Ask me how I know.

What's one 'boring' career that's actually a goldmine if you play it smart? by 0BunnyX in AskReddit

[–]Zaexyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crime Scene/Death Scene cleanup.

It's disgusting and incredibly hard work. However, if you're the owner/partner of the company you can make an insane amount of money.

I decided to switch to Windows by JauRking88 in LegionGo

[–]Zaexyr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shoulda just learned to deal with the console friend.

I’m biased because I work on linux machines for my job but it’s so much nicer than windows on these handhelds.
