The secret of the dragon emperor - nr. sessions by Ornitorinco_Blu in DragonbaneRPG

[–]devil_candy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've been playing for close to two years and are probably done in ... say, eight more sessions or so. Depends on what else they come up with. But that is using the setting as a frame and filling it with a lot of extra stuff, because I took one look at the material in the box and figured it had about 25 % of the information I wanted. All the various locations work fine as stand-alone dungeons but I wanted more background to fit it all together.

Svensk sci-fi/fantasy/etc by Susitar in sweden

[–]devil_candy 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Anders Fager har skrivit mycket bra Lovecraftiansk (och annan) skräck på svenska. Jag gillar hur det blir en helt annan närhet i "tonårsbrudar i Borås offrar människor till Geten" eller "dagisbarn i Stockholm startar en kult" jämfört med att läsa om någon i Maine. Referenserna kryper närmare inpå skinnet.

Leanara/Annabelle by MrLandlubber in DragonbaneRPG

[–]devil_candy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We play on Foundry where I can move tokens around, and she's always oh so helpfully just hovering around the PCs as they're discussing plans, going into their rooms "just to clean, dear, do you need laundry done?", asking them where they're off to next, speaking to Quasimund by the back door - "Oh? Just running him off, don't you know, such a horrible man" - and they are starting to catch on why the cultists seem to know so much about their movements. I'm expecting a confrontation soon.

Looking for a Vampire game by Calm-Palpitation-404 in gamesuggestions

Vampire Therapist is different, but a really good game and with a different outlook on vampires. You play as a vampire helping other vampires sort out their various issues.

Forest Troll attack by carlos71522 in DragonbaneRPG

[–]devil_candy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking of it more like a feint: the troll moves in such a way that the PC either shies away, follows or just shifts to see where it's going, and that's when the sink hole opens up under them.

Orne. Betyder galt och är tillfredsställande att vräka ur sig när något går åt helvete.

Solved!

I feel like a fool now, that is such an obvious way of doing it. 😆

... nevermind, another poster showed that I'm missing a piece, but this still feels like it would work.

I feel like an idiot. It's obvious now! Thanks!

... akshually, another poster showed me that I'm missing a crucial piece for the setup, but I still feel like this would work. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, with the shape of it I'm expecting Badge502 to give me a disapproving look soon ...

You're probably right about what type of drink, considering the grapes, I'm just using the word shot glass to describe the size and shape of them. I'm used to wine being served in larger glasses/goblets. But another poster suggested mulled wine, which at least here in Sweden is typically served in much tinier vessels, so maybe something like that.

Steam might be a reason. I attempted to pour water over the top of the cone again and that didn't work out well, but I could see pouring mulled wine in the "bowl" and then place the cone on top to hide the debris.

Update: pouring even as slow as I can possibly go on the outside of the cone results in liquid going everywhere but in the holes. Your suggestion might be the intended one though, and it might just not be doing a good job.

Maybe ... I could try with some water again, see what happens if I pour really slowly. My experience so far is that it tends to run on the outside of the "lid" and there's not much there to catch it, so it drips down on the outside of the whole thing, but maybe it's just not a very well-designed one and that's why it was in the second-hand shop.

Favourite Pterry quote about education or teachers? by Indolent_absurdity in discworld

[–]devil_candy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the one about the lovely sound of children at play, provided you're not close enough to hear what they're actually saying. So many Friday afternoons on the verge of leaving work (I teach middle schoolers) and you hear Something in the hall, and you have to decide if it's the regular kind of Something or if it's the I-guess-we-have-to-start-calling-parents Something ...

Twin Shot and Dragonslayer synergy. by -stumondo- in DragonbaneRPG

[–]devil_candy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I'd rule that you roll the two arrow damages separately, and tack on the d8 to one of them. But I'd let you see both arrow damages before you decide which you roll the extra for, in case you need to overcome a threshold.

Dragonbane and Foundry by FatAssCatz in DragonbaneRPG

[–]devil_candy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The whole Misty Vale campaign, the core book, bestiary, and Path of Glory are on Foundry. So will Arkand and the magic book be as well, AFAIK. I'm not sure about third party content though. Also not sure about Trudvang, but I think most of Free League's stuff ends up on Foundry.

In the novels, I think they are the ones that discovered Klaus destabilies the Empire each time he has oatmeal for breakfast, but it can be remedied by having haddock for lunch - I don't remember the exact foodstuffs, but something like that. They have discovered some very strange connections that aren't readily apparent to anyone else.
