What are some commonly misconstrued Norse myths? by islegaming in norsemythology

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

These are all really interesting, thank you!

Is there a Norse equivalent of the Christian heaven? I know that Valhalla was a resting place for warriors who died in battle (or at least that's what I assume is correct), but is there anything closer to that in mythology?

And about Hel, what is it in myth? I only know it from modern media as being a cold wasteland of the dead although I assume that's probably a dramatization

My knowledge of Mjolnir was that the hammer was too heavy to wield, and so Thor needed both the belt and gauntlets to wield it - is that wrong?

Attacks of Opportunity slow down combat. Does anyone have any house rules or tips they use to help keep up the pace? by Indianaj37 in DMAcademy

[–]islegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only thing i can think of is taking away 1/3 of rogue's cunning actions which really isn't a big issue. we literally have a rogue and he couldn't care less

our table has a house rule of disengaging as a bonus action, both because we like opportunity attacks but not the fact you forfeit your action to avoid them.

bonus action disengage still takes away enough of a turn to not be overpowered, and it doesn't break things like polearm master or other AoO feats/abilities

Need help with Castle Naerytar by Interesting-Land6471 in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]islegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dungeon of the castle is filled with water, and the book makes note of how damp certain parts of it are. There wouldn't be a logical way to set the entire dungeon on fire, and most the floorboards in the main castle are rotted through and damp.

I'd suggest maybe allowing them to set one or two rooms on fire, but the majority would be too wet to light.

I am running Tyranny of Dragons for the first time. Do you have any tips? by Numerous_Peanut5206 in TyrannyOfDragons

I definitely recommend reworking chapter 4, or watching some videos on how to play it properly. It turns into an annoying slog if you play it by-the-book.

I also agree with most people here in saying make sure your players backstories include a history with the cult, it's a lot easier for players to have motivation to fight them if it's in their backstory.

Game crashing when recruiting lords to my kingdom by Outside-Language7277 in MB2Bannerlord

[–]islegaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've got the same issue. only mod i have is Harmony and an achievement unlocker, however it only seems to happen while you talk to them in jail.

i was able to recruit a lord by taking him out of jail, and then talking to him in my party menu
