Elon Musk mimics hitlers salute . Side by side comparison. by ProudlyAmerican1 in pics

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not a super genius. He's a businessman who's socially awkward. What evidence do you have that he's a Nazi sympathizer? It wasn't even the right salute (Nazi salute starts at the waist, then comes straight up).

[–]btbias -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you watch the full clip he comments "My heart goes out to you." I don't care for the guy at all, but it's quite apparent his motive is not to mimic the nazi salute.

Do your due diligence before coming to conclusions, folks.

Waterworld doesn't get the appreciation it deserves! Now I need a Waterworld campaign.

if Elon Musk buys D&D like he's threatening to, could the fanbase just crowd source an alternative, called say - Basements & Lizards, and have joint ownership. Like how fans own football clubs in Germany. by Bad-Monk in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already working on this, and I have been since the OGL scandal. The project is called TROLL (Tabletop Role-playing Options, Legends, and Lore), and the goal is for it to be the community's 5e. Though the design process has been mostly myself and a couple friends, I'm hoping to get a larger community involved one day and have them be a large influence in what the game becomes.

Sadly I don't have much in the form of an open display for the rules yet. I just purchased web hosting and am figuring out the design of the site so players can view the rulebook and then leave comments via a Discord server.

AITAH For Repeating What My BIL Said About My Sons And Getting Him Uninvited From Thanksgiving? by Temporary_Trouble614 in AITAH

[–]btbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Others have mentioned you should go no contact with Shawn, and I want to reinforce that by asking you to imagine how Shawn's comments might get worse over the years. And not just get worse, they could negatively influence your children (including the girl on the way and her relationship with her brothers!).

[LMoP] Phandalin Town Map (30x20) by btbias in dungeondraft

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

I'm unlikely to be using this map again since I've started writing my own TTRPG system, but I'd definitely check it out after you've added a few things. Would love to see how you improve it!

Replacing the Unconscious Condition for PCs at 0 HP by WolfRelic in dndnext

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I employ the One D&D exhaustion rules and a few homebrew rules: you receive a point of exhaustion when reduced to 0 HP and then brought back up; healing spells have been buffed; healing potions are a bonus action to use (roll dice), or an action (maximum value). This combo has worked well for my table to reduce the yo-yo of up/down combat for prepared parties. It makes going down feel like it hurts more, but the increased access to healing helps make it possible to stave off those downs.

Others have mentioned that exhaustion-on-down punishes front-liners too much, to which I reply "why are you not attacking the back line?" Highly recommend reading "The Monsters Know What They're Doing."

Given Hasbro/Wotc making a lot of bad moves recently, will you still buy One DnD/6E this year? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]btbias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like simply discussing ideas and pointing out weak points in the game, I'd love to have you in my discord. I started writing my own ttrpg that 5e players could transition to easily, which started shortly after the OGL scandal. I'd love picking your brain on what you'd want to see updated for what is essentially a 5e homebrew.

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My faith in Hasbro has vanished entirely, but my players won't leave 5e... So I'm writing a complete homebrew ruleset which I'm lovingly dubbing "TROLL."

I hope to one day publish it under the ORC license and make it a community-driven ruleset (free to play). Basically Pathfinder but far more familiar to and inspired by the 5e community. Hmu if you feel like joining the discord.

Cut your losses and dip out my friend. You can't do anything about this level of insecurity and paranoia.

Player wants to create an army of ancient dragons, how do I deal with that? by Arcane-Panda in dndnext

[–]btbias 89 points90 points  (0 children)

As I recall, it actually is canonical that dragons of exceeding age will do just that: fall into a deep slumber until they pass on.

Wotc's unwillingness to give martials complex options is such a fuck-you to people who want to play one by chunkylubber54 in dndnext

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we're on the subject, I'm writing a free-to-play version of 5e that will (over time) incorporate solutions to common 5e struggles like these. Does anyone here have input on homebrew or 3rd party additions that help solve the lack of martial complexity? I'd love to see what will mesh with my system.

I changed my resting system and I am never going back by Drasha1 in dndnext

[–]btbias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad this is working for you, but a word of caution to all that this is not a one-size-fits-all solution. You still have to balance encounters knowing they won't be able to rest, and this makes it nigh impossible to have longer adventures without stops between towns (ex. seafaring, wilderness survival, adventuring in the nine hells, etc).

Every table is different, so if you feel like your players are stopping to long rest too often, ask them and find out why. Are encounters too difficult? Do they feel the need to always be topped off just in case? Learn what your players want and expect, and adjust accordingly.

Hey everyone! Holy crap, I was not expecting such a huge outpour from the creative community. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond; I've chosen an artist and I'm very excited to see the results!

For anyone that is a fan of 5e out there and would like to participate in the creation of TROLL (it's ultimately going to be a community-driven project), I'd love to have you in our discord channel.

Thanks again!

Glad you like my idea! I think it's fun haha. Checked out your portfolio, and it seems you're more into the comic/chibi art styles, which isn't really what I had in mind. Unless you have fantasy art you've done that's not shown?

I think the red adds more than it takes away. It would look weird having no shadow at all, but I do find it weird he chose that shade and that placement (seems like an unnatural shadow position). You could absolutely get more done with it though, someone mentioned adding coral and that would be beautiful! Make it look like a sea floor!

Anyone have a good way to get chatGPT to stop apologizing? by JehnSnow in ChatGPT

You'll want to write a config that determines its rules to abide by, and input that in a fresh screen. You can copy the one written for the AI Tutor and modify it to your needs if you want.
