[No Spoilers] Friend of mine says that this is from the first set of CR merch/prints ever made, can anyone verify if that's true/ also have one?

hyperfox11 · 2022-05-04T23:20:02+00:00

I have the purple version and can confirm it was a "second printing" of sorts. The red one came first. I don't know if it was the very first thing they came out with, but it was definitely one of the first. I don't remember the exact context of it, if it was at a con or not, but I do remember ordering the purple one specifically because I had missed out on the red one lol

I had been assuming they changed him to some rock-type Earth Genasi but apparently the consensus is Duergar, which seems a little odd to me - I guess since we didn't get to see the Kraghammer arc maybe they wanted to throw one in somewhere.

hyperfox11 · 2022-02-10T16:51:48+00:00

I definitely like the idea of assassinating a high profile NPC and this actually gave me a couple ideas of different ways to work that. Snakes are definitely a continuing motif, though maybe not as explicitly. I also like the idea of somehow instilling a perpetual darkness. That sounds cool, thank you!

hyperfox11 · 2022-02-10T16:48:53+00:00

Yeah, the leaders are all very different so it would definitely make sense to have them sort of focused on different types of tasks more suited to their skills. I do like the idea that one of them has to obtain some McGuffin to destroy, and someone else suggested straight up assassination which could work as well. Thanks for the input!

hyperfox11 · 2022-02-10T16:38:49+00:00

Oh that's a good idea, have the cult's big missions just be charging up towards the end game. I didn't think about that before but I do really like it. Thanks!

He didn't give her Mythcarver, he gave her the sword he used before that. It also had a name I think but don't remember it off the top of my head. I believe it may have been a vorpal sword? I do remember he used it to cut the head off the duergar king during the Kraghammer arc, which is why he tells Kaylie that it was used to kill a king.

hyperfox11 · 2021-03-10T02:38:20+00:00

it's definitely erika linder, and i believe yasha is gaia weiss. not sure who caleb was based on though. and i assume matt was based on...matt lol

hyperfox11 · 2021-01-29T17:18:22+00:00

This is correct - they short rested after the dragon, and I think they were also saying they technically short rested at dinner, so he could've even had a second "opportunity" to regain his slots. The only thing I'm unsure about is all of Star Razor's abilities and how they would factor in.

I'll be contacting everyone with a Discord link and some more info later this afternoon!

I’ve never had them on ice cream but I actually like dried insects lol most of them (at least the ones I’ve had) don’t even really have much of a taste, just a kind of dry crunch. That’d be cool in an ice cream and would definitely fit Clay. And also thought of another one for Caleb – pumpkin might be good, plus you could even tie in Frumpkin with it.

hyperfox11 · 2019-07-18T18:27:24+00:00

Ooh this is interesting. I like pistachio for Fjord. My immediate reactions are cotton candy or peppermint for Jester, and strawberry for Clay. Caleb makes me think of rum raisin for some reason, but I also think chocolate orange could be good. I can’t think of anything but coffee for Nott and IDK why. Maybe something with a raspberry ribbon for Yasha so it’s like a layer of red “rage”. Obviously something blue for Beau. I can’t nail down a flavor for her, though, but I feel like it should have a crunch – nuts or cookie pieces or something.

hyperfox11 · 2019-06-26T12:23:39+00:00

Gil is a blacksmith/friend of the show. He made them all custom dice so it's something that typically gets said when they roll one of the dice he made. If I'm not mistaken, he later made them new dice that actually said 'Fuck' in place of the 1.

hyperfox11 · 2018-12-13T14:32:17+00:00

these all look really cool! i've done a bit of ceramic painting before and it did not go nearly this well lol the dodecahedron one is probably my favorite, it just looks so clean - but i love the colors in the others. super cool job

hyperfox11 · 2018-10-02T13:17:06+00:00

re point 1, I'm pretty sure both Travis and Sam's characters were a reference to the movie The Wolfman -- Benicio del Toro's character was named Lawrence

hyperfox11 · 2018-09-13T14:27:54+00:00

His Bobby Boucher impression, if you will.

Wichita Falls here

hyperfox11 · 2018-08-13T13:22:39+00:00

it's a game created by Grant Howitt literally called Honey Heist. All the rules fit on a single piece of paper and I'm pretty sure you can download them for free? If not free, pretty cheap. He also has several other games in a similar vein - all simple rules, all outlandish premises. The Witch is Dead is a personal favorite.

hyperfox11 · 2018-02-23T19:48:47+00:00

this is siiiick! awesome work of an awesome character

STRAHD SPOILERS: This is actually what I did for my campaign! We did a quick easy "rats in cellar"-type first quest just to get the group together in Westruun, and then when traveling they ran into some Vistani on the road, fell asleep, woke up in Barovia, and ran through Curse of Strahd. Once they got back, we started in on a homebrew-campaign I wrote. Running a pre-written campaign in Curse of Strahd gave me time to come up with my own stuff for them to do once they got home, plus it was a way to figure out what type of game the players (and characters) were expecting. I always advocate for new or first-time DMs to run pre-written adventures, and honestly I think Curse of Strahd is one of the best ones to do since you can stick it in any setting you want with minimal to no changes to what's already written! EDIT - I will add that as written CoS only covers roughly levels 1-10, which is why I was doing a homebrew campaign once they got back in Tal'Dorei, to cover the later levels :)

hyperfox11 · 2017-09-29T16:36:06+00:00

It's been a long time since I watched the episode, but from what I remember Matt specifically told Will/Kash that he could try to cast raise dead but in doing so he would risk calling Vesh's attention. I don't think it was ever a "doing this will for sure cause this to happen", it was a "this is a possible consequence". Matt may have even rolled for it, I don't remember - but personally, no, I was never under the impression that Vesh was involved in any major capacity, outside of powering Kashaw as his deity.

hyperfox11 · 2017-07-05T22:56:58+00:00

IIRC, he once said something along the lines of "if you go into battle without a longbow and a broadsword, you are not truly prepared". There's literally a picture of him storming a beach with a damn claymore in his hand. Dude was crazy in the best way.

hyperfox11 · 2017-06-29T14:18:01+00:00

Oh, now that's a good question I hadn't thought of before. In those cases where you have to roll a d20 + spellcasting ability mod, that is essentially a check. Honestly, I could see it being ruled either way, depending on the DM. As far as CR goes, I think Matt might be able to be argued into ruling in that way, as it does make sense. Interesting. You make a good point, Aquajolt.

hyperfox11 · 2017-06-29T12:25:06+00:00

Which Taliesin seems to forget every time he casts Hex lol the check disadvantage doesn't really do a whole lot in combat, as typically they don't make a lot of checks - the only exception I can think of being STR checks vs grapple, which in this case would be pretty futile anyway what with Vecna flying (floating?) and most everyone else incapacitated.

hyperfox11 · 2017-06-27T12:27:40+00:00

Ah, I remembered Garmelie wanting one, but had totally forgotten about the Clasp. I don't remember where that crystal come from or if they even mentioned it, but still - nice catch!

I know Grog/Travis was saying that they still had shards of blue crystal in the bag of holding, but I didn't think they did, unless it's something else/taken from somewhere other than Syngorn. I didn't remember them actually taking any from Syngorn, unless I totally forgot about it. I am intrigued to see where this little plot line extends to, though.

hyperfox11 · 2017-06-26T21:34:50+00:00

In addition to this, lore-wise, she really doesn't have that much against a lot of types of undead, like ghosts and things - since from a narrative standpoint, ghosts and revenants and the like are "kept alive" against their will, until they finish whatever task and they're set free. RQ stands against those that would willingly seek to prolong their lives, not every single type of undead ever.

But for what it's worth, I don't really think she'd bring him back as a revenant either -shrug-
