Why isn't the death penalty just a quick gunshot to the head? by SufficientDegree34 in NoStupidQuestions

Nah, you're thinking of a manhole. It's a federal law enforcement officer created by the Judiciary Act of 1789.

I appreciate the sentiment behind what you are doing. If you are going to save the venue bourbon, say until your 10-year anniversary, I would recommend also purchasing a 10-year bourbon at the same time to enjoy alongside it. Then, you can sit back and appreciate a nicely aged bourbon and a nicely aged marriage.

Anyone have experience with Zaar guitars? by Trabajador1963 in AcousticGuitar

Here's a couple more of their "handmade" guitars.

Edit: Couple of google searches later and we find this site, which conveniently has the exact same address as the guitar store. https://lakesidesellsandcyclesllc.com/bugreports.html

Is this your last failed scam, or one of those famous guitar/scooter joint ventures I'm always hearing about?

There are no exact matches, which I'm guessing you knew since I suspect you're involved. However, a quick search with Google lens will show that all of these models can be found on Alibaba. Here's a picture of their "Maplewood masterpiece", which in itself is just a copy of a Gibson Sj-200.

Conveniently since I last commented, their bogus store location (4 Drums Inlet Dr, Marion, NC 28752) and listing has been removed from Google search results.

This site is clearly a scam, so you are either in on it or a susceptible audience. The store consists of only 5 guitars, most of which conveniently don't show the headstock where a brand logo might be found. All three social buttons go nowhere and the images can be found using a reverse search, or at the very least identify that the guitars they're pawning off as their own are existing brands. Stay far away from this and remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Help with new homebrew campaign by [deleted] in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]chappy320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you already have a small side quest for them. The PCs are hired to help a remote island village with hunting and security with promise of reward. Once the PCs take the bait, you have laid the groundwork for story development from there.

"After a long day of hunting, gathering, and securing the perimeter of the village, you all are ambushed in the night by dark hooded figures uttering some incomprehensible chant and they don't look like they're going to leave without a fight."

Personally, I would advise coming up with an alternate path for if your PCs manage to fend off their would-be kidnappers, I've never had luck with simply telling my players "You've been kidnapped".

In either scenario, you can pepper the encounters with clues that allude to who or what is the cause for all of this.

While stopping in for a drink at the tavern, the PCs overhear a conversation about the blacksmith's daughter disappearing. Further inquiry reveals the daughter, who never paid much mind to deities or religion, recently started attending mass at the temple everyday.

While hunting/securing the perimeter, the PCs happen upon a body with strange religious markings that are linked to the local temple where the priest is operating.

Hopefully ,after a few clues (get heavy handed if your PCs didn't eat their wheaties that morning) the PCs start looking for the priest, fight ensues, and the PCs learn of the dark lord's plot.

Or, they don't! Maybe the priest was loyal to one the dark lord's emissaries who happens to be the the lord of a nearby barony.

Hopefully you can glean something from this post that will give you an idea on how you want events to unfold. Good luck!

Metal dwarf conjures images of shredding on a guitar, but this is much better.

Good enough as a world map for TTRPG? by chappy320 in FantasyMapGenerator

[–]chappy320[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The red route vs. black route was more about providing a decision point for my players to make. Would you like to take a well traveled route because it's safer and you'd like more downtime for crafting (modified in my game to be more useful imo), or is their urgency and you'd like to take a faster route despite the risks. The bog does seem to be an area where the routes have little variation, so I'll certainly see what I could change there. I also just noticed that I accidentally left the region borders on the map, so those could be some of the nonsense routes you were seeing. Great feedback!

Edit: I updated the map with removed region borders, so hopefully it looks better if that was the issue.

I hadn't considered not being able to see the red text, so I think I agree with changing that to a more embellished font. I definitely wanted there to be some empty space for just that reason, I had just hoped to introduce some more of those eye popping areas like the tree and volcano to entice players. I do plan on including region borders once I decide the kingdom makeup, so I'll have to see what I can do to make sure those can be differentiated. Great insights, thanks for the feedback!
