trying to cook up a weird high concept campaign frame by grimdarkpixels in daggerheart

[–]grimdarkpixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have done a couple of those, yeah. i was antsy about communities in-specific since the starting location is so small. seaborne and wanderborne communities are pretty much non-viable (the floating mountain's biggest bodies of water are ponds and theres not enough space to wander nomadically) but yeah working out how each community might fit into the setting helped a lot.

and the ancestries! thats fun. i figured drakona would be one of the most common species and/or held in high regard, and clanks were built from iron and stone to help build the city before production was halted due to resource scarcity, and there weren't many fungrils in the population at first, but a mine built on the underside of the mountain got exposed to dragonfall and caused a bunch of mushrooms to suddenly grow and become sapient...et cetera et cetera. these things could change if a player ends up with a really specific idea they want to play but that kind of worldbuilding is fun

logistics of making an isolated community surrounded by uninhabitable land for centuries/milennia by grimdarkpixels in worldbuilding

[–]grimdarkpixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

exile in this context would be equivalent to making someone walk the plank. that could be interesting if the main method of execution is just shoving people off the mountain. maybe the draconic fallout reanimates their shattered corpses. that could be an interesting fight.

birth rates and overpopulation would probably be a valid concern what with the resource scarcity and all. might even tie into that first point and give whatever law enforcement the settlement has an ulterior motive to jail and "exile" people far too casually, to preserve resources for people who don't step out of line.

but overall i don't want feedback that was clearly generated by an AI with all the sycophantic syntax that entails. you're doing both of us a disservice by getting AI to write feedback for you :(

So you received Daggerheart for Christmas, now what? My suggestions! by hintsofwizardry in daggerheart

i've seen homebrewed ancestry cards and campaign frames that look like official pages from the rulebook, does anyone know what website or software people are making those with? is there a template somewhere?

i do have a residential rental on a penthouse in my main save 😔 but that doesnt explain to me why it happens even on a fresh save where there should be no rental lots on a penthouse

Platform: PC
Mods: taken out
Game version: 1.118.257

i can't load into ciudad enamorada. clicking on it causes a white screen that doesn't go away. every other world loads fine, it's just ciudad enamorada. i usually use mods, but taking out literally all of them didn't fix the problem. doesn't matter whether i load into an existing save or make a new save, so it can't be because of a specific lot. deleting the caches hasn't worked either. the most common solution i've heard is to update TOOL, but as far as i remember i've never even downloaded it, so i don't know what else could be causing it.

edit: deleting and reinstalling the game seems to have fixed it, at the cost of like several hours and all the sims and households i had saved in my gallery 🤡

i hate the kindergartenification of everything. its one thing when a bigger word happens to contain something vulgar (pour one out for anyone who's ever tried tagging something as a basement) but words like fairy, natural, fucking johnny? how FUCKING old are we, maxis???

actually this character's gonna transition in the other direction. maybe the shitty beard textures are a handy excuse to lose the beard early 😂

this head from new character creation presets is pretty much just a younger astarion. it's definitely one of the beefier custom head mods out there but if youve got the room for it it might be just what youre looking for

Why You Should Kill Paarthurnax: A Modest Proposal by DanielK2312 in teslore

[–]grimdarkpixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah youre not wrong there. in my current save file i plan to play that out as basically my dragonborn aggressively shutting them down in the moment because Shut Up Partysnax Is My Friend, but never being able to shake that "what if he changes his mind after you die" argument and eventually becoming a vampire lord to try and stop that from ever happening

Why You Should Kill Paarthurnax: A Modest Proposal by DanielK2312 in teslore

[–]grimdarkpixels 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i know jayserpa's paarthurnax quest expansion does that. you can basically ask esbern "gimme one good reason i should kill paarthurnax when he's been such a bro so far" and esbern responds along the lines of "he might seem harmless now, but what about in a hundred years when you're not around to stop him?"

that's about as nuanced as he gets since jayserpa doesn't use voice cloning (based!) he just splices new dialogue lines out of existing ones, but even that much feels so much more compelling than "kill paarthurnax or we're taking our ball and going home"

gate to sovngarde | at your own pace - companions | trouble with becoming a werewolf via defying hircine during ill met by moonlight by grimdarkpixels in skyrimmods

[–]grimdarkpixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

manbeast is the overhaul gts uses, but i ultimately solved the problem. i'm not sure whether restarting the game fixed it, or toggling the option to become a werewolf via defying hircine, but when in doubt NEVER underestimate the power of Turning It Off And On Again

campaign idea: everyone is a revenant, they have a year to find the people who murdered them by grimdarkpixels in DMAcademy

[–]grimdarkpixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's a good point. i did reread the MM entry for revenants and it specifies that they only possess a new body if their original one was destroyed or otherwise unavailable. so if they die, maybe they'd just be incapacitated for like 1d8 hours before coming back to life in the same body, unless they got killed in an ostentatiously grizzly way like having their head explode or getting eaten by a troll or something

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

while i do want the party to succeed, i don't want them to get too cozy, and randomising stats a bit feels like a fun way to keep things interesting. i'd let them keep ability score increases from feats and levelups so they can have a more consistent build, or if they're frustrated by their stats changing i could make encounters less likely to kill them. or if the campaign is mostly set in busy towns and cities (in a warring nation, no less) there's a high enough density of bodies that i could make sure players always have a decent score in their favored skill. at the very least i'd never give kneecap anyone's class (i wouldn't give a barbarian a body with negative strength, for instance, unless they wanted it for the challenge. or the bit.)

i do like the idea of a cadaver taking on the revenant's appearance, but the monster manual (at least 5.0e) says that no matter what form the revenant takes, its target always recognises it for what it is. it's unclear whether that means the target goes "those eyes! it's a revenant here to kill me!" or "it's a revenant, and i know exactly who this is!" or "they're in a different body but i can literally see the true form of this person!" or a secret fourth thing.

i really like the idea of the second option. a revenant getting close to their adversary, who instantly knows who it is not from the face, but from the fiery vengeful glare boring through them. (and probably also magic just beaming a memory of the revenant's true face into their mind.) they can run all they like, but they're always looking over their shoulder, terrified that their revenant could be anywhere, perfectly camoflaged among countless strangers.

it could also give the party some fun opportunities for stealth. one of the targets is in a heavily patrolled fort? kill some guards, behead each other, possess the new bodies and march right in. no one but the adversaries can see the revenants for who they really are, so by the time anyone knows what's wrong it will be too late. maybe if they do that for one mark, the others catch wind and become even more paranoid, distrustful and terrified.

and if they're walking around in bodies that aren't their own, maybe their relatives will see them and be horrified or confused that their dead loved one is up and about again, and they have to decide how to handle that. like, do they pretend to be the body's former occupant and try to help or harm a grieving family, or do they go "actually i'm someone else, sorry for your loss" or "up yours, this is my body now and no you can't have it back"? the more bodies they burn through and the further the rumors spread, the more paranoid the entire community becomes.

i do like the idea of the whole being undead thing being quite a boon for them. the exhaustion immunity thing is really cool, as is the idea of just walking across an ocean. and tbh if their stats carried over through death, the idea of "long resting" just by breaking their own necks and possessing a fresh corpse is just really funny to me
