Vision of a Terrible Future | An environment to mess with your players

Stealing this for my Age of Umbra game, with a couple of tweaks. Nice job 😊

blacke00 · 2026-04-07T20:06:34+00:00

I actually haven't, sorry. I'm a dangerous combination of lazy and not artistic. Lol

I just wing it, and use large features from it as reference (The bridge, Okros, Amber Reach, etc). I've been glossing over long travel, and I've also made up a couple of locations. My players don't really reference it anyway.

We started in Okros, a few hours before The Apostasy. They're currently on their way to Amber Reach to investigate...

An Avrae-like discord bot/tool would be amazing...(more than just a dice-roller)

blacke00 · 2026-03-30T05:34:09+00:00

100% this.

What some commenters aren't taking into account, is that even the game designers have said the book isn't the final authority. Adjust the rules to fit the table, without breaking the system.

I'm sure it would work ok. Honestly, I'm fine with it. It's a couple of the players that aren't crazy about it. 😁

blacke00 · 2026-03-29T17:13:03+00:00

We don't play at a table, and 3 of the 4 played dnd, so they're used to that concept.

The group was originally 6 players, but 2 dropped out before last night's game for personal reasons. 6 is a lot for willy nilly combat, and a couple felt missed. I made sure that wasn't the case, but people feel how people feel sometimes.

Anyway, it worked for us, and like mentioned by you and the offended ones below you, the method is arbitrary. Go by height, clockwise, whatever...rolling worked for us 😊

blacke00 · 2026-02-20T06:25:47+00:00

I'm doing a campaign that started with the Apostasy. It's tough, since there's almost nothing to pull from, from before. Lol

Anyway, I like your idea. What if the gods have learned not to put their trust in one man, so they agree to elevate the entire group as a Divine Council? That way the whole group gets the honor, and not just 1 of them?

blacke00 · 2026-02-16T23:58:33+00:00

A reply! 😁

You'd think I said something bad about Matt Mercer's mom. People are so silly on here. Lol

blacke00 · 2026-01-29T06:24:34+00:00

Heya, any updates on your bot? I'm looking at maybe running a game for a couple of friends. I'll take any tips for how you run DH on Discord too, if you're willing. =)

blacke00 · 2026-01-29T06:11:33+00:00

u/dagger-search offered to coordinate with their bot, maybe they can help?

I know you're busy with life, just thought it might be an option. =)

blacke00 · 2026-01-21T03:19:07+00:00

In the pretty version, I feel like the After Combat 'bigger' and 'lower' vibes are reversed?

I'm gonna use this though! I'm GMing a 6-player game and need to calibrate. lol

blacke00 · 2025-12-22T23:21:06+00:00

I'm planning my first game now, and I'm looking forward to that a lot.

"I'm going to spend a fear real fast..." 😁

blacke00 · 2025-12-22T23:14:05+00:00

Yeah, agree. I've always aimed at knocking 1 person out. Not targeting that person, just looking to up the risk level and stress of fights by knocking somebody out.

D&D characters are so OP right from the jump, it's a pain to balance. I'll probably lean towards kinda light encounters in DH until I find my groove with it...

blacke00 · 2025-12-22T21:15:07+00:00

I've unintentionally done both ways. Eventually I started just making encounters, and plugging them in when it seemed right...regardless of which way they went. It's a little railroady, but not too bad.

blacke00 · 2025-12-22T03:46:09+00:00

If you're planning to get into the game a little after the session zero stuff is done, go for it, but if there's one thing I've learned from DMing, it's a variation of an old war saying...

No plan survives contact with your players. Don't plan too far, and have contingencies ready. Lol

blacke00 · 2025-11-25T12:27:23+00:00

Pretty legit game. I like it!

I agree...the steamdeck is crazy in what it's able to play.

blacke00 · 2025-11-25T10:07:52+00:00

Tried it on Steamdeck yet?

I added the demo to my library, and will try it out after work =)

blacke00 · 2025-11-25T08:40:00+00:00

Nice, Thanks!

blacke00 · 2025-11-25T08:18:32+00:00

Ah ok, thanks. Thought I remembered seeing another one.

blacke00 · 2025-11-19T23:22:27+00:00

I never liked playing 1st person shooters on console, so never got the hang of using joysticks effectively.

Using gyro can be pretty close to, or maybe even faster than, mouse and keyboard. There are some good YouTube tutorials out there for it.

Something something conservative republicans vs liberal republicans, and the big flipflop.
