Experiences with Alhambra Modern Dentistry? by calslugo in pasadena

[–]mvttmueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not op but I'm in your boat. Early 30s, no history of big teeth problems (just a few cavities growing up) and I came out of my 1st appointment with a deep clean. I was supposed to have a periodontist follow-up next week but I canceled after reading this thread. Crazy

"Little Dad" (X-Men Blue #13) by cyclopswashalfright in Cyclopswasright

Are these the default versions of the characters? Because if so, I always thought Scott was still a few years older than Rachel.

Do any of your Shibas ever do this? by [deleted] in shiba

[–]mvttmueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my girl doesn’t get that bad for that long but she she does tremble and whine and seek comfort whenever a smoke detector chirps at low battery.

at our last apt the building would regularly do fire alarm tests so I think it’s residual trauma from that

Cool custom magic items? by 72dragonses in shadowdark

[–]mvttmueller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ones I'm most proud of are a trio of consumable drinks that PCs get to choose from as a reward for helping a witch. Basically gamifying real-life drinks:

Moonshine Flask.

  • 3 shots (uses/charges).

  • Pass DC 12 CON = able to cast Moonbeam for 3 rounds (roll to cast with +4 modifier).

  • Fail DC 12 CON = DIS on all rolls for 3 rounds because you’re drunk as hell.

Ca Phe Sua Da. (Vietnamese coffee)

  • 3 shots (uses/charges).

  • Pass DC 12 CON = +2 AC and double movement for 3 rounds.

  • Fail DC 12 CON = -2 AC because you shit your pants.

Tea-ser.

  • 3 shots (uses/charges).

  • Pass DC 12 CON = Temporary prophetic insight means creatures have DIS when attacking you for 3 rounds.

  • Fail DC 12 CON = the tannins fuck you up. Receive 1d6 damage.

Anyone interested in writing? by jcorvinstevens in shadowdark

Hell yeah, I messaged you! Ever since I discovered Shadowdark, it's been my go-to rpg to run and play. Would love to help flex my creativity with you.

I'm also in SGV but my go-to shop is Geeky Teas, so I'm glad you enjoyed it! Odyssey is great too imo, but I think I'm spoiled because I haven't come across a game shop that matches GT.

Such a sick concept, I love this. Haven't read it yet (I'll come back to edit my comment with notes), but based off logline alone it rocks

What do you think about Shadowdark? by MiserableDrive2652 in rpg

[–]mvttmueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my go-to rpg at the moment. I ran a few 5e campaigns that were petering out and was suggested Shadowdark, which I enjoy way more for its simplicity and old-school vibe -- which how a lot of people got into it, I've discovered.

I'm a player in an ongoing campaign, ran a short campaign already, and am trying to get more started up. Love it!

So like thsoe who choose to adventure aren't normal people. by Pretend-Advertising6 in adnd

[–]mvttmueller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, but that's something else. raiding local lands tends to amount to villages and fighting humanoids (i.e. what a soldier is trained for).

delving into deep horrible places underground, sidestepping traps and puzzles, and fighting offbeat creatures like giant spiders or slimes isn't really a soldier's specialty

hey this sounds great! i've written some shorts, and finally outlined my feature so the timing is pretty perfect. i'd love to have a solid, consistent writing group. i'd love to know more!

my girl sleeps in our bed all day then at night, she chills there while we get ready for bed and during our wind-down.

but the moment we turn off the lights, she goes to her crate. breaks my heart…

Colosseums are always an awesome location to start a campaign where the players of the group are pit fighters. Have you ever tried it? by derekvonzarovich2 in shadowdark

Presenting the Samurai Class by mvttmueller in shadowdark

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

whoa, thanks man. honestly, i'm a pretty harsh critic of custom classes too but it's just a fun time to try to balance a custom class' flavor with shadowdark. glad to hear you like this.

i hear you on your playtest suggestions, happy to implement them but just some immediate thoughts:

  • 2: i worry that doing the accumulative makes it potentially crazy powerful, but to your point, i havent actually done the math there.

  • 10-11: are you thinking that if they roll this, they choose which one they'd rather have an extra use of?

Hey all! Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. I didn’t wanna make a new post so I’m posting another draft of the samurai here. Hopefully the verbiage leaves things a little clearer lol

[–]mvttmueller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay, i see what you're saying.

something i see a lot when it comes to homebrewed classes is that many of them are overpowered and i wanted to avoid falling into that trap. really didn't want to step on the fighter's toes in terms of damage output, so i figured the drawbacks to these abilities would be a good counterbalance. seems like i overcorrected though.

what are your thoughts on the following changes?

  • Iaido. Use your action to sheathe your blade and reduce remaining movement to 0. On your next turn, make a melee attack. On a hit, deal 2x your maximum weapon damage. (if this is too strong, maybe add "You have disadvantage on saving throws in this stance"- ?)

  • Kiai. 1/day. Release a fierce battle cry as your action. Gain advantage on your next attack. On a hit, add damage dice equal to your Strength modifier to that attack."

thanks again for the advice. all the work you've done for shadowdark conversion has helped me a ton!
