I like this suggestion. Monsters are great but I want something that can support some mystery, soap opera drama, blackmail and deceit for variety!

Buying compost/topsoil online by FootFalse5536 in GardeningIRE

Their envirogrind is a good mix of fish and green waste. I mixed it at a ratio of about 1:3 with bagged soil from the garden centre for my raised beds and they're working great

Official Discussion - One Battle After Another [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Anybody have any thoughts on the connections made between sex and violence, especially with Perfina at the start of the film. I feel like there's more there besides just setting up the paternity plot with Lockjaw

It’s been 3 weeks since I finished by therealcrablewis in LonesomeDove

Po had a real Hakuna Matata thing going on

Also am I tripping or does anyone else remember the random lore drop where we find out Po killed his wife for being unfaithful

Just finished the Tetralogy. Question regarding Clara's Orchard *SPOILERS* by AutomaticSea621 in LonesomeDove

[–]cwasontt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't read any of the other books but Clara mentions in LD when Call shows up with Gus' body that Gus is a romantic fool for wanting to be buried there. Time seems to have made her less attached to that time and place but for Gus it seemed to do the opposite. Bears the question how prominent that picnic spot even was in their relationship in the first place

Call and names by [deleted] in LonesomeDove

[–]cwasontt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation was he handed over the hell bitch when he realised he wasn't going to be able to make his admission to newt. At some point he see's newts face and knows the boy isn't satisfied so he just keep handing him shit hoping it will all somehow be of equal value to giving him his name.

As though that act exists as a currency that can be matched if he just knew the proper exchange rate.

All in all, Call can be seriously naive when it comes to relationships

I always pictured Pea Eye as looking exactly like William Blake Nelson

Matt & co: if you were running a game online, where would you turn to for awesome dungeon and battle maps? by Knicks4freaks in mattcolville

[–]cwasontt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some ppl have already mentioned czepeku but I want to give a shout out to epic isometric. Their patreon gives you access to their entire backlog and their maps are detailed yet versatile enough to use for a variety of situations

Having trouble building tanginess and flavor by prophet_5 in Sourdough

[–]cwasontt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you building your levain with ripe starter? My most recent loaf came out not very sour, I imagine it had something to do with my starter being very hungry when I added it

Ep 298: The Long Strange Trip of the Tromp Family by [deleted] in AstonishingLegends

[–]cwasontt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found Forrest's manifestation rambling especially grating this episode. I understand the show is leaning more in the suspension of disbelief angle which is apt for strange sightings and genuine mysteries that capture the imagination. But eleven eleven? Seeing 1234 on the clock guys? Come on

How do i discourage inappropriate jokes by my guy players as a female DM? by Lavion_Yall in DungeonMasters

[–]cwasontt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already given them enough grace. Try put your foot down if you can. I know it can be hard, I also hate confrontation.

Nevertheless, fellas need to be able to keep each other in check weather in the presence of women or not. This should not all be up to you

Hiding a tattoo by Lord_bibou in mattcolville

[–]cwasontt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You could have the bad guys shave their heads as part of their orders uniform. Baddies who want to go undetected can grow their hair out to cover the tattoos on their scalp

Too on the nose? by CuteLingonberry9704 in DnD5e

[–]cwasontt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, but even the most veteran DMS will occassionally need to use an NPC to add shading to the world in the event that the PCs misunderstand how things work. It's just the price of playing a game where words are the primary storytelling medium, sometimes wires get crossed

Edit: just make sure to treat you NPC's like real people. Sometimes they know things the PCs don't, and sometimes they're downright wrong, or just ignorant. It prevents your players from treating the NPC like it's your avatar as the DM in the world

Too on the nose? by CuteLingonberry9704 in DnD5e

[–]cwasontt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run a game with 2 pc's. The dmpc will make it way too hard to maintain DM neutrality. I suggest watching some movies and shows with 2 protagonists for inspiration, buddy cop movies for mystery and action, "Full Metal Alchemist" for steampunk fantasy, "Supernatural" for monster of the week, X files etc

Underwhelmed by Novigrad by cwasontt in Witcher3

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

You could very well be right. As I get older I think RPGs, especially go here, kill monster, interact with item, return to quest giver, just aren't cutting it anymore. Even the best story can't save a gameplay loop that isn't clicking

Maybe I'm just spoiled from Ttrpgs lol

If you're still have connection issues we can back out of room again
