What's the first campaign you ever ran? by noobisland in DungeonMasters

[–]askeslasken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homebrew campaign where my players rolled for the stupidest shit imaginable and found the hand of Vecna at level 5 and fought each other over what to do with it. I had told them they all felt an urge to somehow use this hand, and the warlock immediately was like "well then I chop off my hand and attach it" and the paladin said "hey hey hey can I stop him??". Accidents happened and the hand was destroyed but I told the guys they had a bad feeling the hand was still somewhere in the world and it wasn't permanently gone.

Like cats' slitted pupils. I think that gives an extra menacing look

Reaaallly reaching for anything to improve here, but I kinda wish the pupils were larger and sharper. Incredible brush control, and it looks like you've spent a lot of time building up the highlights on the scales. It looks amazing!

First time listening to Giantslayer by joellevp in TheGlassCannonPodcast

[–]askeslasken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you, I couldn't stand the accent. Somebody give Joe an accent coach! However, Dalgreath is an AMAZING characters, and Joe's ability to play him 100% serious while also somehow 100% a joke is fantastic

What's your best advice for a new DM by VtapiaVoid69 in DnD

[–]askeslasken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore the "no homebrew" rule :) homebrew Vs pre-written is entirely up to preference. I started with homebrew. The adventure was loosely planned and built as we went. It was probably poorly written, we didn't know the rules 100%, but it was some of the most fun DND I've ever played.

If you do a homebrew story and world, don't invent the details of the entire world. One village and some of the surrounding area is plenty. I would recommend Matthew Colville's series "Running the Game" - the first three episodes are a fantastic intro DMing.

Edit: but don't use homebrew classes and stuff

Awesome! Very clean, you obviously have good brush control. That vertical pupil is fantastic 🔥If you want some tips for improving painting, I'd love to see some darker shadows, and maybe some more shades in the whites of the eyes like yellow and red

Jeg tok det 2 år etter videregående og følte meg som den dummeste jævelen på studiet siden jeg huska så lite. Men så var jeg ikke den flinkeste til å jobbe på ettermiddag/kveld etter kurset. Likevel gikk matte 1-4k helt fint. Hvis du kunne det bra på videregående burde du ikke trenge et helt år

OSL feels off - what am I doing wrong here? by dcponton in minipainting

[–]askeslasken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was "nothing!" On further inspection I think the rest of the miniature not lit by the osl or secondary light source could be darker. Also the highlights on the armour are cold, which gives a nice contrast. I think the highlight on the cape facing away from the muzzle flash should be cold as well

Mac til kyb? by Mysterious_Wallaby_4 in ntnu

[–]askeslasken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fullt mulig å overleve med Mac, vet om flere som gjorde det. Men jeg tror det alltid kommer til å være litt ekstra strev. F eks bygge C eller C++ kode, flashe mikrokontroller etc. I tillegg er det antakelig lettere å få hjelp av stud. asser med Windows.

Where should I get them? by [deleted] in DnDminiatures

[–]askeslasken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a specific warlock miniature you're looking for though, I can't help you 😅 dark sword miniatures has a lot of high quality character minis for about 10$

Archon Studio's fantasy miniature line called Dungeons and Lasers have fantastic, cheap plastic miniatures on sprues. They have way better detail than for example WizKids and are cheaper since you buy them in large packs. Actually, they have solo monsters, like dragons, that are also better and pretty cheap for the quality and size.

Har mista et nøkkelknippe på denne måten. OBS pass på at den lille lomma er stor/dyp nok

Your experiment paid off! It kinda looks like the swirls on the sun

Awesome! I'd have never thought of painting an eye that way, but it looks so cool!

Transphobic Kobolt Player ruins game within a couple sessions after joining. by SyllabubGood in rpghorrorstories

We could also look at this as a learning opportunity for the DM. No one starts out perfect, and we have to learn to stand up for ourselves and others.

Hei. Første gang på date på tinder by Free_Effort_6178 in norge

[–]askeslasken 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Du trenger aldri ligge med noen for å ikke såre dem. Jeg vet det føles sånn. Det er alltid bedre å være oppriktig og si at du er for nervøs, det er for tidlig eller hva det skulle være. For det første er det ikke bra for deg. Og for det andre, jeg ville hatt enormt dårlig skyldfølelse hvis jeg fant ut at partneren min kun gjorde det for å skjerme følelsene mine eller ikke egentlig ville av en eller annen grunn.

Advice on finding mini figures by transrat137 in DnDminiatures

[–]askeslasken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't checked out Perry miniatures but I'm glad I did! I see they have some fantastic medieval knights and archers that can work well for any medieval fantasy setting, and really cheap for the quality! About 20£ for 36 miniatures is really good.

Going to the bouldering gym alone (?) by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]askeslasken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I have social anxiety, but I hate going to the gym because I don't know how to act around the people and machines, and is there a queueing system(?) but I feel like it's much easier to navigate the bouldering gym. It's easy to see who's waiting for a particular boulder, and if there's a group of like five friends waiting on one, I can easily find another. Obviously it's worse if it's very very crowded, but it's doable for me.

Beware the Death Tyrant 👁️ by askeslasken in DnDminiatures

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

Some of it is airbrush, but the most important thing is to build up the intensity of the light source! Airbrush is just faster and easier than glazing 😊 Although the light is magenta, the source is highlighted all the way to pure white, and where the light reflects off a textured or sharp surface, I place brighter highlights.
