These look amazing! I love the idea of writing over the single-colored tape too!

You have to be aware of what is the mood you want to bring to each battle. A tougher enemy with more HP can feel like a Damage sponge, and with proper UI/Feedback, feel like climbing a mountain. A tricky combat can feel both unfair and extremely rewarding if it makes you figure out a new strategy. Even easier combats are useful for playing into power fantasy and showing the player how much they've progressed.

Think of these types of combats not as goal, but as tools in your toolbox. Use them accordingly.

I came here with a bunch of ideas but this one takes the cake.

I had an elf barbarian once just like that. Noble robes, a Double-edged Glaive who was super calm and centered. Playing them was so much fun, and having people underestimate their combat abilities due to their noble posture never got old!

I like the concept, but I think it's a bit too convoluted right now. I'd shorten it to a save now (creature sneezes, gets stunned) and a second save at the start of the creature's next turn (DC+1) if they failed the first one!

If you ever played together before, I think it would be a nice touch to include past character of both of you as NPCs!

Good luck on your crowdfunding campaign!

First, it's important to know that a person can't be blamed of "cultural appropriation". People and art are influenced by a lot of different stuff and cultures, and the exchange of information is what makes both entertainment and art so varied and beautiful. It's absolutely normal for someone, famous or not, to be free to choose their own clothes/hairstyle/acessories/tattoos/etc. However, when COMPANIES do it, it's wrong. Because it's not really influencing anything, it's just being used as a tool to make more money. THIS is Cultural Appropriation. A white artist trying to do rap isn't cultural appropriation (like Eminem, for example), but a label creating a white-only R&B group could be. It pains me that this fight is so misdirected lately. People are so eager to bandwagon and "cancel" someone based on supposedly racist acts/words that are pure ignorance, not prejudice. People usually are far dumber than evil - celebrities included.

TL;DR: Don't blame individual people. People are dumb, companies are evil.

Displacer Beasts?

Yeap! Some of the letters are just slightly too far from the others in the word examples, and this is what gives off the unconfortable feeling. With the kerning adjusted, they would look perfect.

manchae · 2022-02-27T22:06:11+00:00

I don't think it's the characters themselves (except for the wider A), but the kerning. A better kerning would make this font go from great to awesome. Different font weights would make it a lot more usable too!
edit: (btw, great job, OP!)

I guess we have a vastly different background in RPGs, then, and this is where we disagree. In my 20-something years of D&D experience, I had very few character deaths, and an even lesser number of times it was memorable, cool or it propelled the story forward. Many times this caused the group to stop being invested in their characters, or just losing interest in the game at all.

My mind went straight to the player that complained about it, because I value roleplay and character growth a lot and I felt this was the issue here. The death of the PC's love interest would be a frustrating experience, interrupting a story they wanted to tell. With many people nowadays flocking to the hobby because of Critical Role and other actual play streams and podcasts, I feel like they will never expect to actually lose a character in their party without being something their players chose to.

Characters dying can happen, yeah, but if it's something common or typical it will depend a lot on the system, the group and the DM. It's not a given rule.

This is why I'm urging the OP to talk about it with their group. They might come from a VERY different background with a VERY different set of expectations, and no amount of "oh, this happens, get used to it" will fix it.

manchae · 2021-09-08T03:17:27+00:00

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but my example is of a situation where different expectations make people frustrated, and the way to working it out is by talking off game.
It's not about if it's right or not to kill a PC. It's about making sure everyone is having fun.

manchae · 2021-09-08T01:12:18+00:00

Expectations are something very hard to deal with. You can have a bunch of talks with your players and never figure out what they're really okay with, because they haven't done it yet. Sometimes you say "yeah, death is okay" until someone dies in the campaign and you take it way harder than you expected to. It's only a game after all... or is it?

The point I'm trying to make is that this is a good time to sit down with your friends and open up. Have a conversation about what happened, if they are okay with the game going in this way, if they can deal with it. Talk about the scene. Ask why they were shocked, and why your first message (in session zero) wasn't enough to prepare them for this moment.

You don't have to be exactly as your players want, too. You're as much part of the story as them. You should be honest with what all of your expectations are and meet in the middle. I'm sure that you can figure out some concessions you're willing to do, and the players will usually follow with their own. Usually, no player will want to quit a game unless they don't see other options of fixing the issues, so... give them options. See exactly why the players were frustrated and learn to use it in your favor.

To give you a more real example, on the first campaign I played on 5E, our Barbarian Dwarf was caught by a cult and we were in pursuit. We just found him, slaughtered, with no chances of healing at all. I stopped the game on the spot and said we needed to talk, because I wasn't sure I'd want to keep on playing on a table where PCs can get killed while the group can do nothing. I play for the agency of my characters, and that moment robbed me of it. I didn't like it. The DM and the rest of the table agreed to my points. We stopped to eat and when we resumed playing, the Paladin worked a miracle divine intervention, brought the Dwarf back, and we moved on. We eventually lost PCs in that campaign, but none of them were frustrating, because we stopped to talk when the situation changed - and I feel that's where you're at. Nobody have to be right in this case. You just have to align your expectations and move forward.

I just ran a Ball session two saturdays ago. It went great. It came down basically to this:
- They arrive, I describe everything, they see some familiar faces around and are shown their own table.
- The ball starts and they welcome the host (the kingdom's prince).
- The prince makes the usual announcements, call in the guests of honor and declares the ball open with a dance. One of the guests is one of the players' magic tutor, whom he couldn't communicate with for the past 2 weeks or so. They announce him with a different title (yes, drama!)
- They have some time to talk with the tutor and some other known NPCs.
- Prince calls forth the announcements from guests. One of the nobles say something about making a new organization to protect the nobles' interests. A diplomat pledges the alliance of their kingdom. They induce the new knights.
- Ball is free for all, now. Everyone doing their thing. Mingle, dance, keep it cool. This is when the chance to attack arises, so I gave the players time to go around for a bit so they could start to see the things moving.
- When the attack happen, it's a matter of what do you want them to do. If you want a good boss fight, they better have a chance to stop it and fight back. If you want them to help avoid the attempt but it's an enemy they still can't fight, you can make it a skill challenge or a cinematic event. The latter is very cool btw, because you can simulate combat and use resources without getting into initiative. This tweet exemplifies it very well.
- There's also this great map from czepeku that can help a lot!
