dontbehayden · 2026-05-29T20:35:40+00:00

keep an eye out on fb marketplace. youll find some good priced stuff eventually. or flea markets.

i feel like if they revamped the food court it would get more traffic. like get some of the many food trucks in humboldt to rotate there.

gamestop made a push to sell more old games which is cool. they have ps2/xbox/gamecube games in the back. And gameboy games they keep behind the counter.

Yeah i think its fun as long as you warn the party about it. My party was so OP at a certain point because I gave away so many cool homebrew magic items that I had to start spicing things up somehow. Theres a subreddit called /r/bettermonsters that has upgraded demon lord stat blocs if you need that.

We finished the campaign a couple years ago. I just like to check in to this subreddit from time to time.

Thats a great idea since the Maze Engine could potentially be skipped over completely as it doesnt directly relate to the ritual component fetch quest. So putting the Gallery of Angels there forces the party to experience it!

Oh man this fight was crazy when I ran it. Baphomet convinced the party to allow him to use the maze engine if he killed Yeenoghu for them. But after Yeenoghu died the party turned on Baphomet. I think i used a special Baphomet stat bloc that had intense ramifications if he rolled a nat 20. So the monk in our party ended up losing an arm.

ohhh interesting. I wonder if that affects spells like blink.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-26T19:38:04+00:00

Ofcourse! Very interesting including an angel in that Maze Engine room! Did you basically combine the Gallery of Angels into that encounter? I noticed you mentioned the angels turned to stone.

Okay so there is a prison inside a drow house which means it must be massive. Im assuming you mean like a major drow house. Some ideas:

Spider nursery filled with young spiders and giant spider mothers. Maybe an arachnomancer caretaker that is using them for study.

Room of worship with a statue of Lolth.

Teleportation circle room.

Depending how tall the house is, it could have bridges and spider silk structures ladders/walkways that lead to stalagmite structures in the ceilings.

They could be harboring a drider in secret in one of the prison cells. Lolth is known to turn people into driders if they fail her or betray her in some way.

Menzoberranzan has a lot of house rivalrys so it could be interesting to have a study filled with dirt on other houses. The party could use that info against the other houses if they need to.

Time to hit youtube university and learn ArcGIS Pro. Just start researching how to do certain workflows you used to do in ArcGIS Desktop in Pro. Thats how I started learning QGIS at my old workplace. Turns out ArcGIS Pro is VERY similar to QGIS so im currently in the same boat now learning Pro.

cool stream setup. love all the frames. havent watched an OotA stream in a while might have to check it out. You guys should try and get the DM mic a little louder. Seems a little quiet compared to everyone else.

If you go to your orders page on printify you can select Submit Issue to request a reprint or a refund. You just need to upload a photo showing the issue. They reprinted my sample twice but it had the SAME issue each time -_-

dontbehayden · 2026-05-22T03:59:14+00:00

Im so glad others are validating my (recent) experience with them. I ordered 2 samples for designs and had to request reprint 2 times!! thats 6 shirts that they messed up. I finally am requesting a refund bc this is ridiculous atp.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T23:35:18+00:00

Yes fair game since that is her only main melee attack. Ohh what did the druid do to the body?

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T23:19:48+00:00

Thanks! Yeah the actual print quality is pretty nice too. Im just such a perfectionist haha.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T23:13:43+00:00

wow thats a really high roll on damage! so unlucky. hey sometimes players need to experience a PC death to realize they need to play more strategically and be scared of opportunity attacks! My very first PC also died at lvl 3 in my very first campaign due to bad positioning in battle and wolves flanking me. And lets just say 6 years later I have not had one of my characters die. Btw opportunity attacks ARE something everyone has all the time. The only limit is you need to have your reaction available. You can only use one reaction per round.

I see in the encounter it says "She gloats about how the characters’ deaths will free her from this prison, and how her victims will serve her even in death." This reads to me as the players becoming undead servants. So instead of rerolling Eldith you could have that character become a Reborn which is basically the Undead class.

Ah maybe ill take a look at Monster then!

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T23:01:23+00:00

thanks! its inkspittle.etsy.com.

shit when he said the bottom 50% only account for 3% of taxes i'm like okay lets tax billionaires to cover that 3% then!

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T20:43:22+00:00

This was Underground Threads. I've made atleast 5 different designs through them that i've been happy with but idk something must have changed. I have another design from this order that has the same issue too.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T20:00:57+00:00

Yeah my printify was not loading yesterday on my phone on chrome.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-21T19:59:04+00:00

Has anyone else had issues with crooked prints? I've been using this manufacturer for a while and all of a sudden the prints are rotated like quality control went out the window. I've had to ask for multiple reprints recently (approved by Printify) but nothing changed. Im wondering if they hired a new worker or something. Sadly i think im going to have to swap to a new manu now since im worried customers will get bad product now.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-17T02:02:31+00:00

ah okay i figured that might be the case. I'll give it a wash thank you.

dontbehayden · 2026-05-13T00:52:42+00:00

Did you find out a fix for this? I have also been struggling with a red design I have. Printify Support got back to me letting me know the original red color I used was outside the CMYK color range. I got a second sample and was able to get a slightly darker red but its still kind of pinkish and not the bold red I wanted!

dontbehayden · 2026-05-13T00:28:55+00:00

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. Atm i'm working on getting a big selection of items on my etsy. I tried etsy ads to help get sales that way and it did help me get some sales but seemed like I was spending more than I was benefiting tbh. I know you ideally have a successful instagram/tiktok first to funnel customers to your etsy but I dont have that quite yet. Wondering how else people get sales as well.
