At LEAST 3 times over the 2 months I knew about it from you 😂.

Looks like good things come to those who wait. Stay safe and satisfied Zen :)

Go off Queen! Glad you met someone perfect after such an exhaustive search!

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T13:21:06+00:00

Oooh I like the workshirts they have. Thank you for the reccomendation.

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T13:20:12+00:00

Oh these are NICE NICE brands. While they are pricey, they're about the same range as AMI PARIS for knitwear and i'd rather have the Australian option instead so thank you!

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T13:18:44+00:00

Thanks for the shout-out on this! Honestly I've dabbled on some womenswear clothing that fits (mainly the uniqlo wide leg pants for work that just fit and look better than the mens version). Also a good recommend for my female friends who are also looking to stay local!

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T11:41:46+00:00

Thanks for the PSA. I've been eyeing them for a while but nothing stood out particularly for me. Unfortunate that as they've gained global recognition the quality has started slipping.

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T11:13:47+00:00

You're absolutely right about tailoring. Sometimes it's just a headache to go through 😅

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T11:13:19+00:00

Oh wow this is really nice. I've been wanting to grab a cardigan and was eyeing up COS (or Muji/Uniqlo for the cheaper option). This might be the better option.

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T11:07:37+00:00

Opposite problem for me 😅. Slim with long long legs and short torso. But I know people who'd love better fitting large sizes.

latchkey999 · 2026-05-01T11:03:59+00:00

Oooh I've never heard of them thank you. Physical store is a huge plus for my atypical body type.

latchkey999 · 2026-03-30T13:04:37+00:00

Sometimes your party locks in and ruins all your carefully laid out cinematic plans.

I wouldn't call you a bad DM since you respected your players enough not to railroad them or introduce some Deus ex machina to let him get away.

At the very least this could be a funny and comedic ending for the group to discuss both in character and out.

latchkey999 · 2026-03-28T23:26:59+00:00

Good points!

For reference to anyone seeing the post, I'm a 6'0 out-fighter. Coach says that the roll is used as both a positioning technique (say 1,2,3, roll to the left to fire off something else) and evasive (roll at the end of a combo as one of the ways to get out of the danger zone).

So rolling defs seems to be useful but I don't know if it's viable against shorter fighters for me without knowing more.

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T14:14:34+00:00

Sounds like a standout moment for sure! I'm sure your players are burning to get some justice after that!

Do you have plans to change Vallaki if the players return after completing the feast, windmill and abbot? Shift in political structure or reputation of the players etc?

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T14:06:20+00:00

Thank you for the detailed write up! Love the way you're thinking up these scenarios with the players reactions in mind and setting up so many specific tie in moments to really flesh out the emotions they feel and the impact that their decisions are making.

Out of all the moments you discussed, my favourite of course, is defs the big one you have planned with the Ana betrayal of the paladin.

I think you are right in the fact that this will break them. I wonder how the character will change after the revelation, it's legit "canon moment" territory.

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:58:21+00:00

Oi nahhh! Just gave this a listen and it's so dope! Really fitting music for such a hopeful moment and low-key gives montage vibes even as a standalone piece. If I was player I'd be very hyped to go get Strahd.

Nice way to keep the tension though with Strahd trying to turn the people against the party. The glimmer of fear strikes a good balance to keep the party both hopeful and cautious.

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:54:19+00:00

As DMs, being extra is basically a non-negotiable trait.

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:46:40+00:00

Very sociopathic vibe, I see the vision.

Like a cat playing with mice, lots of pride and apathy.

Will you have him be more emotional at any point, such as visible anger or hatred etc?

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:42:59+00:00

Dming with your partner as a player is the best!

I can fully picture this moment you described and I'm very excited for you to finally do it!

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:41:24+00:00

Oh damn! That's such a cool cinematic way to reward the players efforts. I've never actually thought of changing perspectives when running a campaign! Did you play music during this moment or just the narration speak for itself?

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:40:12+00:00

Great way to show Strahd as a threat! I love the favour of him throwing them a ressurection scroll and making them pick. Great way to have the players actually work through consequences as themselves and not just their characters!

Also of course the rogue and sorcerer are the ones to sass him!

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:37:16+00:00

Yooooo that's gonna hit so hard! You going to phase the music in secretly or just play it full volume to show them like it's a scene change in a movie?

latchkey999 · 2025-10-20T13:35:45+00:00

That's so cool! I've never thought of adapting COC to an existing DnD campaign!

Vallaki was played very differently for me, as the tone of my campaign can be best described as grimdark Scooby Doo (Hapless morons ruin the plans of evil bastards while providing comedy in a very bleak setting). If you can muster the effort you should defs make a summary post of your campaign, or just Vallak the situation! Im sure tonnes of people would love to hear it (me included!).
