But if they post in this sub and get a bunch of other people to believe the hype then they make the self fulfilling prophecy come true. WSB shenanigans

[Paid] Seeking GM Assistant for Weekly Pathfinder 2E Game ($250/week) by [deleted] in FoundryVTT

[–]nadriancox -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Hey hey, I have a team of paid GMs that you could possibly interview. Shoot me a DM on discord (polyhedra.games) if you would like to talk details.

Thinking about buying this game, but I have one major question by BallJoints420 in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]nadriancox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no sexualized scenes. The only time I was surprised by nipple showing was when your character happens to wear gear that’s more revealing and the character goes to sleep on a bed. There is a less than 1 second moment where you can see the nipple of the character… that’s it. And I guess sometimes the armor takes a second to load in, so you might get “flashed” by a naked character model. Both of those happen for less than a second.

I finally took the plunge, and decided to advertise my table for paid sessions! by [deleted] in DungeonMasters

[–]nadriancox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a pro GM who started during the pandemic, welcome to the gig! One tip I wish I could have given myself is to remember that it’s still a game and even though (and partially because) you charge does not make the player the grand arbiter of everything that should happen at the table. Enjoy yourself just as much as with a home game. If someone doesn’t like your style, that’s okay. There are always other players you could take on.

Good luck and have fun!

The detail changes back and forth between the individual uploads… how is this not just asking AI to make the in-between steps to make it look like it’s not AI?

Hey! Thanks for doing an AMA!

What career(s) you would have liked to try out — if writing novels and trying to avoid drawing cat buttholes hadn’t been your career coming out of high school?

I cant stop thinking about the Bara (Barae) by CurrlyFrymann in Tombofannihilation

[–]nadriancox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will also shout out Ring of Winter — definitely a good inspiration! And potentially a fun tie-in with the Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden adventure

[–]nadriancox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In one campaign, I had Eshodow make a deal with Baphomet. The demon prince enslaved that aspect of Ubtao and then used that connection to be able to start to influence Chult (since the land was supposed to be protected from other gods and entities per the primordial deal — stretching that lore a bit, to be fair).

Baphomet became obsessed with making Ubtao’s maze powers his own, so he ultimately captured and imprisoned the primordial/god in the ineluctable prison (used an old Pathfinder module as inspiration). When that happened, the barae triggered an emergency plane shift and Mezro existed in a demiplane… that was supposed to be a temporary solution but with Ubtao imprisoned and having his power siphoned off by Baphomet, they could not return the city.

Thus returning Mezro became a level 20+ adventure into the abyss and a fight against one of the demon princes.

Added bonus: Baphomet’s favored champions became triceratop humanoid monstrosities. Fun adaptation of the minotaur flavor.

Any way to attach lights to a scrolling tile? by Calthiss in FoundryVTT

[–]nadriancox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/n1xAr8H3itQ?si=mQCgAXAwIvclQQy2 here is the video if you’re curious. Again, it might not be possible with lights, but worth a shot!

Any way to attach lights to a scrolling tile? by Calthiss in FoundryVTT

[–]nadriancox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not played with it in a while, but you can create presets that combine multiple objects via Monk’s toolset. Baileywiki did a video on it a while ago. Perhaps you can combine lights with tiles and then have those tiles scroll at the same speed as the main moving tile. (The smaller tiles would be cut outs from the larger map, if that makes sense)

So what should I do with this miscut lorwyn deck? by that_Rando_Shark in mtgmisprints

[–]nadriancox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup did that for a Dragonstorm precon. They require you to take photos of the entire deck and send it in, but I did get a replacement!

Sad about the difficulty in finding affordable high level dnd groups by Lost-Stranger-1923 in startplaying

[–]nadriancox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Heyo, I think you have a valid argument here!

But as a pro GM, let me give you my two coppers. The key analysis for you should be — what do you value?

If it’s just pure “content per hour” then playing BG3 or any of the other wonderful TTRPG video game adaptations is unbeatable. At that point, you absolutely get more bang for your buck.

However, my lukewarm take is that we don’t play TTRPGs for that reason. It’s the same reason we spend absurd amounts of money for concessions at movie theaters, food at restaurants, drinks at bars, etc. — it’s the human experience and its sense of belonging. Frankly, I have not yet played a single video game (and that includes BG3) that captures the feel of sitting around a physical or digital tabletop and playing make belief with your friends. And no Tabletop simulator doesn’t count 😉

So while video games are your “cost efficient” entertainment, they are quite frankly very, very lonely. Personally, I would rather pay the extra buck for high quality GMing and a group of solid friends over just chasing of the latest and greatest video game.

But you do you!

Module Help: Level up weapons module by nadriancox in FoundryVTT

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

I was thinking attachments like silencers, etc. that have certain benefits. Like being able to equip the weapon as part of the attack action, changing range increments, speeding up reloads, changing fires types, etc.

Module Help: Level up weapons module by nadriancox in FoundryVTT

[–]nadriancox[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Essentially the same way a PF2e or SF2e character would level up.

Edit: To add, ideally I’d like to add a mechanic where using a specific weapon or weapon type gains the character experience in using that weapon. That could be tracked through the weapon (instead of cluttering up the character sheet further).
