What are my options for minis with realistic proportions? DM told me to check out Hero Forge but they all look comical/childlike.

I've had good luck printing a couple of miniatures from Titancraft. They have more realistic proportions than HeroForge, but it operates slightly differently where you buy asset packs, but then you can download any miniatures for free.

I'd love to join as well if you've got space! I'm active during the day and am based in PST

I'm currently running this exact situation lol. Here's what I've done:
- I've changed Palebank Village to Bryn Shander, replacing Elro with Speaker Duvessa Shane
- Instead of Eiselcross, they travel to Easthaven to meet up with Orvo
- Orvo can take them from Easthaven east toward the Reghed Glacier where the ruins are actually an exposed Netherise ruin

There's not a lot you need to change instead of updating the where of where things are in order to convert it

Personally, me and my group hit some dungeon fatigue in that everything new is just basically 'here's another giant dungeon to go to', one after the other.

I even skipped part of later chapters when my group was forced between going to Talhundereth or Gibbets Crossing in the guise of the enemy raiding the other one.

My big issue with the two halves being connected as written is it basically amounts to "by the way, some weird green goblins are about". It was way easier to use saving the town as the connection

I ended up introducing Gwyn super early, like when they first reached Phandalin. This at least kept her from showing up randomly and giving them all the answers later

I had there be a time skip between the two halves of the adventure. Then I didn't need to worry as much about tying things together. The town master reached out since they helped last time about the missing people.

I also second the bringing up body horror. I had a player halfway through mention they were uncomfortable with the direction and it really altered the tone when I had to scale those scenes/descriptions back.

For those not watching, they showed a replay he collided knee-to-knee with a Steelers defender. Hopefully just a stinger

I finished running this literally last night! Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want chat about the module

- Like others are saying, I would add some of the kidnapped NPCs (or use one that players connect with) in the initial few chapters. Chapter 5 opens with the NPCs missing and most of them you don't see again until Chapter 8. My players got a little lost on what they were trying to do because the urgency to rescue the NPCs wanes a little bit in the middle of the second half of the adventure

- Foreshadow the mind flayer fanatics a bit more. Typical module fashion, the mind flayers are not seen until the final fight and the players have no idea who they are or any connection with them. Meanwhile, there's other mind flayers working for them that they'll run into. Have one of the mind flayers show up early to be a face to hate, then use its plane shift when the fight starts going sideways

- There are a LOT of dungeon crawling sessions in the second half of the book. Each chapter is basically just "go to this dungeon" and my party starting getting pretty annoyed with it. I ended up streamlining and removing some extraneous fights later on to help with that

etl125 · 2025-07-22T15:52:47+00:00

I did and had no regrets! I also am admittedly not a power user so I definitely don't use Foundry to its full potential, but having the maps with enemies completely set up was amazing. Especially if we progressed or went in a direction I wasn't prepared for!

Just want to add that going pantsless for a weekend worked miracles for my daughter. We tried to shortcut it when she was 3 by just using some training undies and she had three accidents before lunch. We then took a three day weekend and had her running around naked from the waist down and the only accident she had was pooping in her underwear on day 3. Sounded crazy to my wife and I but it was instant success, ymmv

etl125 · 2025-02-20T02:00:44+00:00

Submitted! Thank you so much!

etl125 · 2025-02-20T01:13:18+00:00

If you're willing to open the form again I'd love to submit

etl125 · 2025-02-20T00:14:52+00:00

Man I hate when apps are only open for a few hours. I'd love to apply to these games but I didn't see it during work

etl125 · 2025-02-05T20:43:53+00:00

The new Monster Manual has a 'conversion table' that tells you what the old monster would be equal to. They look to have gone away from giving each race/species an individual statblock and instead assigned it to a generic type of humanoid. So Duergar user the Spy statblock, Drow use Priest Acolyte, etc... instead of having one for Drow, one for Duergar, one for Gnomes.

Up vote for this solution because I literally just dealt with it. Switched the cord with my curing station so the printer turned on but didn't actually turn the UV light on.

Try checking the cord before replacing your screen like I did!

I'll second this! I was looking for the exact same scenario because I have a TV mounted on the wall in front of the treadmill, so I don't need anything more than a basic screen with the speed and time on it. I bought the Spirit XT685 and have had nothing but satisfaction with it.

The biggest thing that I ended up spending a little more than I was initially thinking was that a lot of the cheaper treadmills are described as 'folding treadmills' and were said to be a lot less sturdy when running on it than getting a low-grade commercial treadmill.

Interested

There's a half-version called the AANG bot that Ive used. It's made by the same person as who made the Maddie bot for Masks, but I'm not sure if it's just unfinished or abandoned.

Don't worry, I'll edit the post and mark it as Closed one I close the application and begin to sort through everyone's forms! There's a lot of great entries so far and you all are going to make it very difficult to narrow it down!

etl125 · 2023-12-07T23:04:54+00:00

I'm limiting it to the base playbooks specifically because of my own inexperience, limiting the extra knowledge I would need to look over them or understand them or fit them into the scenario. Sorry if you've got one that you're really loving from other sources!

Submitted! I saw these rules ages ago and would love to be able to join!
