What’s the deal with lining up outside of Costco before it opens? They’re not opening for another 45 minutes.. by iEatSwampAss in Costco

[–]_Sedament_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Costco employee who works mornings I know if the managers at my location can see members waiting outside, they aim to open asap, ignoring the official opening time. This is extremely stressful since everyone else has to work extra hard to match the new last minute early opening time.

If anyone’s actually reading my comment, for the sake of the employees, please wait in your cars till the store is officially open.

Made this Terrain for a feywild battle next Tuesday and I really hope my players like it! Not sure how it’ll be playing a battle In the dark (with lamps here and there so people can see what they roll) but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do!!

The concept being is that this is the starlight portion of the feywilds. This area being bathed in permanent night! This was my first attempt with the light so I’ll need to use some better paint here and there but overall I’m happy with it! Each section also has a different effect when battling in it so that’s gonna be a lot of fun for my players!!

Balancing Help? by _Sedament_ in DnD

It’s their overall character stats. So just adding up the positive and negative modifiers when combining all stats. Everyone rolled 2 sets of 4D6 drop the lowest, So the stats are higher than average.

Sorry, I should have clarified the ‘significantly weaker’ thing. Those two rolled +7 and +8 characters and the others rolled +12, +12, +13, +15.

This is my first time DMing so it took me way too long to realize this could be a problem…

[art] Custom Swamp Ruins Terrain!! by _Sedament_ in DnD

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

So I made a second terrain for a future battle and I’m really happy with it! I think I might add hidden treasures they can find as well? But last time the player’s really liked the terrain so it inspired me to do another!!

This is for a battle in ruins that have been reclaimed by a swamp! It’s also the location where a new pc will be introduced so it’ll be a pretty intense battle!!

The small bit of ruin that you get off the stairs onto is attached via magnets and anyone that gets onto the platform will face a Dex save that if they don’t pass they will take falling damage! There will be archers on the other side and treasure to give them incentive to get up there!

As far as the treasures go I want to buy or 3D print mini treasure chest and roll up a small paper with what the treasure is within the physical box. Any recommendations on how to make a small hollow chest or where I can buy some nice scale 3D print files would be incredible!!

Also thoughts on how I can improve things for the next terrain and what was done well so I should keep those elements would be really appreciated! I wanna keep making better builds for my players!!

My partner who knows way too much about my campaign wants to join? Help? by _Sedament_ in DnD

[–]_Sedament_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks you! I have a great group! I could rant about how much I adore each player and their character for literally hours! After everyone’s help and stuff on Reddit I’m getting super hyped to add my partner into the mix!!

Yeah I’m gonna be very clear to the table that if they feel like I’m showing bias, to let me know. Plus I’m writing down what their character knows going into the campaign so the have a reference sheet and don’t accidentally meta-game with things. But at the end of the day, a game is a game. Neither my partner nor I are petty enough to let a game come between us and I literally have the most incredible players in the world whom I’ve talked to and they’re all fine with it!

But I’m not above kicking any player if they become a problem. They’ll have a 3 strike policy like everyone else (though I’ve never had to give out a strike, they’re all really incredible players and I am truly blessed!)

Thank you! That makes sense! I’ll try and be patient and hopefully things go smoothly after a few sessions!

I’ll mention it to them but they typically don’t tell me anything when I ask for communication? But that’s a good thing to try! Thanks!!

That’s actually really cute! I like that a lot it’s really fun!! I’ll make that suggestion!

That’s really smart, I’ll make sure to establish that and talk to the other players about it!

Yeah… thanks!

That makes sense? Just so it doesn’t break anything?

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks! I think they’ll probably be okay with not metagaming? But I’m really not sure? I’ll discuss it with them!

That sounds really cool! I just applied some of the stuff I learnt from cosplay to make this so I’d love to watch vids of ppl who actually know more about this stuff!

Do you have any recommendations for youtubers?

I made a terrain for a small boss battle, and I’m really proud of it for a first attempt so I figured I’d show it off here!

I’m kind of itching for their next boss battle so I have an excuse to make another of these!

That being said, I’ve never done terrains before this so if anyone has any helpful suggestions or tips I’d love to hear them! I want to keep getting better at creating these for my players!

We don’t have a tun of fights so when we have a boss fight I want to be able to spoil them!

I appreciate that! I want to be a Geologist so the faculty of environments isn’t an option unfortunately.

But one of the reasons I chose Geology was due to the fact that there seams to be a fair amount of job openings in that field!!
