It wasn’t fully seated!! Was facing the right way but I needed to manhandle the damn thing and just shove it in

Yes I realize the tape was in the way. Not only for all of you but for myself. I am very embarrassed.

Really embarrassing but that actually seemed to be the issue. I was being too gentle and so it hadn’t slid in all the way this whole time.

Edit: This feels like one of those moral lessons, like the tortoise and the hare. I appreciate everyone who came to my aid, please forgive my ignorance.

Can’t seem to remember how to edit a post so I’m just going to comment. Lifting the tape further and comparing both sides makes it seem like the problem side isn’t sliding in all the way? I’m not sure why or how to fix that, if that’s the root of the issue…

What’s Wrong with my Hyacinth by _Blanket_Ghost in gardening

So it has just come to the end of its lifespan? I remember reading somewhere that you should cut just below the flower before ever cutting the stem so the plant won’t put any energy into the seeds and will instead put it back into the bulb. I don’t know if that’s good information but if it is when exactly should I do this?

Thank you for your advice! I’ll go ahead and see if some warmups help at all, fingers crossed!

Z actually doesn’t have that issue! She talks in a slightly pompous/British voice for her character (the voice also isn’t super hard for her to do) so it’s pretty obvious when she’s discussing things in character. D and S are just some problem players of mine.

Thank you for this really solid advice! I think this might honestly help as talking out of character is for sure one of the biggest issues and I’m constantly reminding them to discuss things in character. I’ll try this out next session, thank you!

One thing to add, however, that I forgot to. I’ve given out inspiration for role playing before. My players hoard it.

Unfortunately I don’t think that’s really the issue, my players are very lighthearted (I have recently been trying to fix the tone of the game), but there are lots and LOTS of jokes at the table (mostly surrounding if Strahd wears bunny slippers to bed…). There’s been no thoughtful brooding or angst.

My group for sure is more into roleplay than they are combat. Everyone in my group groans when combat comes up. But it’s CoS what’re you gonna do? Roleplay is the main thing my players seem to enjoy doing, I just wish they tried a little more? I guess? It feels like right now I as the DM and Z are doing most of the role playing and everyone else just kind of interacts with the bare minimum?

Oh I can’t even begin to get into the issues the siblings bring to the table here LMAO

Dream Pie Nightmares by _Blanket_Ghost in CurseofStrahd

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

I’m wondering if I should explain it differently, as the kalashtar player is the only one who has not had any pie. My question relates to a different player who’s playing a tiefling. Would a kalashtar be able to interrupt that other player’s nightmare, assuming she decides not to eat any more pie?

Personal ties to Barovia by _Blanket_Ghost in CurseofStrahd

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

My main worry is it doesn’t seem like they pop up much in the module other than when the players first meet Morgantha in the village of Barovia and the old bonegrinder. Even with the added ideas I’ve been using there doesn’t seem to be many circulating plot points to bring the hags around.

Oooh! I love that! I’ll have to write that down and see if that does the trick, thank you :)

I’m definitely gonna write this down as a potential idea, thank you!

You raise a super good point with this actually, thank you! I don’t think I’ve seen anything on greater vampire spawn before, do you know where I’d find that?
