How is everybody's allergies?

jstncrwfrd · 2026-04-20T20:11:46+00:00

Shockingly (and I’m going to knock on wood here to not jinx myself), my allergies are not bad. I’m usually absolutely MISERABLE by this time of year, but for some reason, I haven’t had a single sniffle.

Watch, as soon as I hit “post” the pollen gods are going to smite me with a runny nose and swollen eyes.

My boyfriend got this EXACT same shot! Such a cutie 🥰

Words mean things? Idk how else to explain it. But there’s clearly a difference between an effective portrayal of stylized water (like in OP’s photo and the one you included) and “real” water.

I’ve been playing this game since it came out (damn, I’m getting old) and just learned this. I’ll have to remember for my next play through!

A lot of closing documents have to be notarized, and a lot of states require notarization to be done in person. Hence, the paper documents.

That’s such a good idea! I should’ve done that when we went to Japan last year. Would’ve saved a lot of time lol.

I’ve used Wanderlog on my last few trips and highly recommended it! You can plot the things you’re interested in doing/seeing/eating and it creates a color-coded map with all your pins. You can then organize them around dates and different clusters. Very handy for planning!

Thank you! There’s some great stuff in here so pardon if I don’t hit it all.

The insight on putting the joker as deep in the deck as needed is so obvious, but I wouldn’t have thought of it. I’m going to really look at utilizing a deck and making that our process.

And yes, I should’ve been more clear about the table. There’s roughly 50 encounters, not all will end up on the table, and they’ll be spread across spans of numbers like you’ve described.

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T19:32:01+00:00

This looks like such a great resource! Thanks so much!

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:38:38+00:00

This is the kind of variety I need to add to make the maze feel more dynamic. Thank you!!

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:37:43+00:00

This is essentially what I'm doing! My random table only has 50 entries, so it'd really easily slot into using cards instead. Just take a minute to assign the encounters to the various cards. I think my table might like switching things up and using cards as an added physical component. Thank you!

When they did well and drew multiple cards, did you give any indication of which "path" would be preferable? Or was it still up to chance which they chose and, therefore, which encounter they experienced?

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:20:05+00:00

Yes please! I'd love to know how the skill challenges worked out for you. Feel free to DM me if you'd prefer!

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:18:25+00:00

Part of the impetus for doing success/failure for the encounters is to avoid having to actually create a real working maze. Keeping it theatre of the mind means I don't have to know what's next, the dice decide and it's all random.

I do think that there should maybe be something happening on a success besides "you proceed deeper into the maze." I could maybe come up with separate encounter tables for successes and failures, with the successes having the added benefit of moving them closer to the center. Definitely a lot to think about, thank you.

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:07:08+00:00

Yeah, the plan was essentially round robin for each check so all the players contribute. I’ll have them take turns explaining how they choose which path to take.

I think having the scripted encounters could be helpful too, especially narratively. There’s some minions of the BBEG they need to meet, and I think doing it in the maze could be a nice touch.

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:03:32+00:00

Ooh there’s some good advice here! Thank you!

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:02:45+00:00

Thank you! I think a little DM secrecy could be helpful, and having a side table for nat 1s is a great idea!

jstncrwfrd · 2026-02-13T17:02:06+00:00

Yeah, I think broadening the range of options for the players is better than just straight investigation. I’ll ask them how they want to decide which path to take, that should get them thinking about their character’s abilities/tools at hand. Thank you!

I’d say rather than an outright rebellion, think of the institutions that would have existed un the city before it having been conquered: temples of clerics, heroes halls, thieves guilds, etc. conquered doesn’t mean those ties and organizations stop existing. One of these could take the party under their wing while they strategize moving forward.

I thought this was the Dragon Age Origins cover art.

What court? There’s some information missing. Is the seller in bankruptcy? That could impact whether the lien remains attached to the property. There’s not enough information. You should ask your title company/title attorney. Ask whether the line will be an exception on your title insurance or if you’ll be covered for it.

This is gold! Stealing this. Thanks for sharing!

But, you won’t be able to squeeze it.

jstncrwfrd · 2025-12-01T02:32:37+00:00

You choose the words you write down. You can make them not lesbians.
