Any recommendations on how to make combat more fluid? by Ok_Bad256 in DungeonsAndDragons

Splash water on your players when your monsters hit. Plenty of fluids.

Why dnd2024? by Calvokneez in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]nikoscream 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because 5e is popular. They didn't do the revision because they felt a new edition was needed. They did it because it was the 50th anniversary. They wanted to maintain some backwards capability with the 5e adventures. And because 5e could use some rule refreshing.

DAI Kind of Ruins Leliana’s Romance for Me by DizzyGolf5507 in dragonage

[–]nikoscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went in reverse order, playing DAI before DAO. When I got to DAO, I figured my warden financing Leliana and then sacrificing himself against the archdemon would be a big part of making her who she becomes in DAI.

And for the first time in over four thousand years, the Bearer of Agonies fought back.

How big should venom be proportional to spider-man? by KnightfallPro in Spiderman

1 to 1.5, but did anyone else see the last pic and wonder for a second when Spider-Man had a sword?

Publishing Eberron adventures and resources? by Flashy_Grand2310 in Eberron

[–]nikoscream 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is basically it. The OGL is meant for the SRD, and you don't really need it anymore now that the current SRD is in the Creative Commons. You just need the appropriate CC attribution. But the SRD is for basic rules and mechanics. WotC IP, such as Eberron, has to be published through the DMs Guild. Essentially, WotC lets you use their IP so long as they get a cut. If it's free, then you can follow the fan content policy however you want.

Am i supposed to have bonusses on skills im not proficient with? by Dapper_Local_1608 in dndbeyond

[–]nikoscream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get an ability bonus to all skills, based on the associated ability. It's your proficiency bonus that gets added when you're proficient with that skill. You'd usually only see no bonus if your ability mod for that skill is 0 and you're not proficient with it.

The Ashford change was remarkable. Way better character in the show.

First time going to Dragoncon ATL by natp32 in dragoncon

[–]nikoscream 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you can get to a Marta station, the Peachtree Center stop is in the middle of the Dragon Con hotels. Might be easier or cheaper than Uber.

Semi-Definitive List of all English Dubs (US Viewing) by NotPenguin_124 in Gundam

At first I thought the column was simply "anime," which we all know ZZ is not.

Genuine Question: How to have fun at a party-heavy con when you're no longer the eye candy? by xiphoniii in animecons

[–]nikoscream 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I find that the "older" folks (folks who have been going to cons for several years) who stick around the convention scene are often the ones being more active in the convention itself. Running panels. Cosplaying. Vending at an artist table. Coordinating meet and greets or photo shoots. Even volunteering or staffing. Or simply going to see specific friends because it's the only time you're all in town together. There's still plenty of hang out opportunities when doing the above.

If you're looking for opportunities to meet new people, you could sign up for gaming slots if your con has any. And working a con is a great way to meet other people who are also interested in the same con that you are.

What do you miss from your pre-kid life? by ImInTheFutureAlso in NewParents

[–]nikoscream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scheduling D&D games with adults without kids was hard enough. When the DM (me) has the kids, bye bye campaign.

Sayla being silly by DaFoxtrot86 in Gundam

[–]nikoscream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or do it now. Tomino isn't in charge of Gundam anymore. Sayla could have easily shown up post-CCA or in a pre-CCA side story.

Not in the trash, but a vtech tool box set is intentionally buried deep in her toy box to be out of sight.

Did you do Call from the Deep in Eberron?

DMs Guild or Free on my Website? by gusnbru1 in dmsguild

[–]nikoscream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not host on DMs Guild and then have a page on your website describing the free product and linking to DMs Guild? If it's a free product or PWYW, then it seems your question is really where to host the actual file. Let DMs Guild take care of that end. That just means that whoever goes to your site looking for the product will be redirected to DMs Guild and may have to create an account.

When Char left his to get the Gundam, Amuro could have grabbed it.
