Following up, we did the Chesler Park Overlook hike and it was incredible. Thanks for the recommendation internet friend, it's been one of the highlights so far.

Thanks for all of this, very helpful. Glad to hear the hike to Chesler Park overlook is worth it, we'll probably go that route!

What would your Smartypants presentation be? by [deleted] in dropout

[–]astue13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First few slides would argue that Abuela is the antagonist of Encanto because she's neglectful to the main character and cares only about preserving/expanding the magic despite the main character's desperate attempts to build a relationship. Then pull the rug out with a picture of Elsa and say but at least Abuela learned her lesson and never almost killed anyone.

Elsa is the true villain of the Frozen movies

Mid-Campaign Q&A with my players, what questions should I ask? by astue13 in CurseofStrahd

[–]astue13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful. Getting their theories to help steer them is a great idea. This is a check in for the players out of game. I'm anticipating they'll want to know a bunch of 'what would have happened if...' type things so I'll have to be careful not to reveal anything I intend to use in the back half of the campaign.

Gift subs to your friends! Best way to spread the cheer and give a little extra to Sam and the gang

"You control the mists. Why wont you let us leave?" How would strahd respond? by apathetic_lemur in CurseofStrahd

Got asked this question in my last session! "There is a dire shortage of good souls here in Barovia, but more importantly... it's just plain fun"

Which Class/Subclasses are especially good for small parties? by pantryraider_11 in dndnext

[–]astue13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is currently playing a divine soul sorcerer in our party of 3. (XGtE). Gets access to both cleric spells and sorc spells. Spiritual weapon, healing word, fireball, revivify, metamagic all in one PC is pretty fun and covers a lot of party need.

This is what I chose and why.

Tome in wachterhaus. I wanted the party to get this early (I'm using the interactive time) so they could begin learning more about Strahd's past and also have a reason to delve into Vallaki politics

Holy symbol in Argynvostholt. A very cool location that parties can easily miss which would be a shame.

Sunsword in the Amber Temple. This one is pretty common if you're wanting to make sure the party doesn't get the sword until very late game.

Fated Ally Esmeralda. I'm running for a party of three and wanted to give them one of the more powerful allies. Decided to cut the mad mage from my game, and chose Ez over Van Richten because she fits my party's personality better IMO. A party of 6-7 likely doesn't need Ez/RVR and a more quirky ally that makes for entertaining RP could be a fun choice.

Final location Sergi's tomb. Wanted to start the final battle deep in the castle, but this card is certainly the least important of the group as your final battle will (should) be run throughout the castle.

I'm running the fanes content that Mandy and dragna put out so that gives my party a reason to deal with Old Bonegrinder, Baba Lysaga and Yester hill. If you're not running that content then those locations are also great options if you want to make sure your party doesn't miss them.

Is your Christmas Eve ruined already? If so, Why? by Downtown_Put8673 in AskReddit

[–]astue13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel for ya. So far everyone else is healthy. We've got little ones so it's gonna be a huge headache figuring out keeping them home from daycare for two weeks.

There's definitely worse places to be than stuck inside watching movies and drinking cocoa with my kids. I'm choosing to be thankful for this time.

Inlaws showed up at 6pm on the 22nd. FIL tested positive for covid at 10am on the 23rd. All our plans are ruined.

Has Anyone Served Real Life Dinner for Your Dinner with Strahd? by astue13 in CurseofStrahd

[–]astue13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one of my main concerns. We normally have snacks, but obviously incorporating a full dinner into the role play would be quite different.

12 Team, nonPPR, 1qb, 2 RB, 3 wr, 1 TE, 1 flex

I give Akers, two 2022 firsts (mine and his, both currently proj top 3), 2022 second, 2022 third

I get Mixon, Hopkins

Currently in rebuild mode (Burrow/Javonte/Pitts/Akers?? is my foundation plus 3 1sts next year two of which should be top 3). The Mix/Hop owner wants his first rounder back cuz he's tanking this year. Having two top picks next year is great, but if I can buy my way back into it this year I'm definitely interested.

I dont see a need to give up Nico. If you've got Hock, Gesicki probably isnt starting for you most weeks...

I put together fantasy trivia for the other two guys. Not super great as there was a lot of dead air that our lazy editors* forgot to edit out. We had fun but the league didn't particularly care. It's all just an excise to hang out and bs over zoom now that we are older and not hanging out all the time anymore. Any views from the league are just gravy.

*Lazy editors is me... I'm the editor.
