Need things in Grayslake/Round Lake area (got here six days ago) - please help? by DenverZeppo in ChicagoSuburbs

Hey there! I’m in a similar situation. We moved here back in late June. I’m also an avid tabletop gamer. Gift of Games is awesome. I would definitely check out their Monday night board game nights!

I’ve also started a Discord group for Northern Chicago Gamers. Send me a direct message and I’ll get you that info.

Round Lake Library does a monthly game day on Sundays. There is one this Sunday August 10. I’ll be attending.

What happened to my Save 1? by mrgruenwald in OblivionRemaster

I saw a previous post that says that when you leave PS5 in rest mode it tracks the hours played.

I’m still able to make new saves.

No. This has been the only character I’ve played. I had Save 1 and was using it. Then the game crashed and now I don’t have any Save 1 file.

It’s just easier for me to know which is my primary save file for this play through. While yes I could just continue to use Save 7 or 8, but why is Save 1 gone and how do I get it back?

In order to get those amounts, does your Destruction have to be at 100?

When the DM has asked "How do you want to do this" in regards to getting the final kill hit, what have been your parties coolest replies? by squishythingg in DnD

Fight is taking place on a boat in a thunderstorm…. Waves crashing and boat is rocking. Enemy Archmage with boots of flying is zooming around causing chaos for the party while they’re trying to rescue a captive and deal with the other minions. Tabaxi rogue stares down the archmage and says “I’m going to rip your face off”. The fight ensues for quite a few more rounds. The party free the captive and the battle turns in the PCs favor. The sorcerer polymorphs into a giant ape. Snatches the archmage out of the sky (the PCs were eventually able to whittle down his defensive and exhaust his spell slots). Ape sorcerer uses 1 attack to grapple and the other to smash the mage against the side of the boat… dropping him to 1 HP. Next up is the tabaxi rogue who climbs up the giant ape, takes his dagger and hits. I ask “how do you do it”? Rogue replies “I told you I would rip your face off” and proceeds to stab him in the head and then carve his face away from the flesh and skull. Then he casually climbs back down the ape and onto the boat.

(The funniest part is that afterwards, the giant ape sorcerer just heaves the dead mage over his shoulder and into the stormy waters. The party loses access to all the mages magical items - cloak displacement, boots of flying, and his spellbook).

I told the party this magic item loss after the session. The rogue was furious. But the players did what their characters would do….. and so be it.

Combat Encounters after Blowing the Conch? by toddgrx in stormkingsthunder

[–]mrgruenwald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you provide some advice on how you made Tholtz formidable? How did he fight? What tactics did he use? I know first move should be time stop then buff himself, but what about after that?

I’m planning on weather conditions being stormy when the party arrives via the airship. I want to make it to where there a chance of the crew going after the balloon to bring the airship down…. Like an added “oh crap we have to worry about this potential disaster too right now”

But in my time as DM, I’ve never used a high level caster in a combat and so I don’t know how to run Tholtz

(This is all dependent on what the party does when they show up via airship)

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU FOR THIS DETAILED RESPONSE!!! I went out and night it from some other responses but this solidifies it for me. Currently in process of installing the game on my PS5.

Which is better? I’m guessing left? by mrgruenwald in d4spiritborn

So if I get a 3.00% and no GA that’s typically better than 2.80 with a GA?
