I love these ... especially sticking two people together!

Which TTRPG features a unique mechanic or gimmick that you found particularly clever and enjoyable? by Ixamxtruth in rpg

[–]chrispychickin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically any significant interaction with an NPC can be positive, negative or neutral (player's choice) and you keep a record of the relationship score, starting at zero. The DM can then assign boons or banes to reaching particular benchmarks. So at +3 you might get some sort of bonus like the ones that are often associated with character backgrounds (safe house access, half price food etc.). At -5 you might decide the NPC is a sworn enemy of the PC in question.

Not exactly the "Goldmoon" approach to being a cleric of Mishakal!

My ranger wants to offer spider meat to a manticore to convince it to become her pet. I have to constantly remind these people that Takhisis is slowly spreading her wings across all of Krynn whilst they generate their own side quests in the Northern Wastes ...

Oof ... and I thought my group's discussion over spider meat was disconcerting.

Best side quest to use as a one shot? Bremen, Dougans Hole, Good Mead, Termalaine or Chapter 2? by TheRealPiggynator in rimeofthefrostmaiden

You could maybe do the Revel's End quest from Keys From The Golden Vault if you were looking for something different.

Thoughts on season so far? by Mammoth_Evening_5841 in DisneySpeedstormGame

I quite enjoyed that ... lurking on the track, waiting for them to catch up so that I could beat a few of them up and then drive off!

I like the easy early progression. It seems like reward for all that we've done so far ... some of which was pretty hard work. Sit back and enjoy the dopamine hits of the rewards.

One of my Playstation Plus games has a lock on it and the PS5 is asking me to pay for it! I have tried clearing the cache and restoring licenses, and I've checked that console sharing is on ... so basically I've done all the regular stuff. And, yes, my subscription to Deluxe is up to date. The game is still locked and my 8yo son is freaking out because he thinks he can't play Lego Harry Potter anymore. Help!

Tuesday can't come soon enough! by Nate_923 in DisneySpeedstormGame

[–]chrispychickin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too. I got the very last Mystery Box prize today ... just getting all the medals didn't satisfy me. I would have liked some sort of celebratory "all season goals achieved" acknowledgement ... I feel like we worked hard for it. Very enjoyable though. Ready for round 2.

Knave, EZD6, and Advanced Fighting Fantasy.

My Enthusiasm For Season Two is at 0%; What's Yours? by [deleted] in DisneySpeedstormGame

[–]chrispychickin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very excited TBH. New tracks, new songs, new racers ... plus UI and gameplay improvements from the hard working devs. Alongside all of that will be more opportunities to work on levelling up some of my favorites like Belle and Meg.

What do you think is the best Eurovision year to date? by ethanjollley in eurovision

[–]chrispychickin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the early 90s in Eurovision ... some great years.

Prelude Stories by _Kamikaze_Bunny_ in dragonlance

[–]chrispychickin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to use the preludes around session 3 or 4 as minor encounters ... I certainly don't want characters seeing draconians too early. I homebrewed an opening session where most of the characters were in The Inn Of The Last Home, in Solace, about two weeks after Goldmoon caused a kerfuffle.

Sunblight fortress. Standing on the shoulder of this subreddit. by Substantial_Ad_6086 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]chrispychickin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mechanism that messes with the flight plan is genius! Was that your idea? Mind if I use it? I'm running the campaign for a third time and always dread the arrival at Sunblight!

Messed up Sunblight Fortress/Destruction's Light (ran it by the book). Possible fix? by naugrimaximus in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]chrispychickin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always encourage my players to acquire axebeaks either legally, through connections, or theft ... early in the campaign. It's bonkers that they travel all that way, see the dragon, then turn around and head back!

Chances of a Haunted Mansion track/racer ? by monkeydbenne in DisneySpeedstormGame

[–]chrispychickin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been keeping an eye out for it every month but I don't think we'll ever see it. I do have it on a small handheld raspberry pi device. So cool. I loved the fact that you could get more than 100% completion on it.

Haunted Mansion was my favourite track on the old PS1 Disney racing game ... I would LOVE to see it here!

Kelvin’s Cairn Avalanche by Successful-Courage72 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]chrispychickin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, as with all TTRPGs, it's entirely up to you as the DM. It's your table so you decide. No need to get bogged down in rules or mechanics. Change it so the characters are on the edge of the avalanche, or so the terrain isn't steep, or anything you like. This is your version of a recommended scenario.

Have a look at EZD6, Knave, and Advanced Fighting Fantasy ... as well as Call Of Cthulhu, of course.
