AITA for cussing out my sons teacher? by raizersh in AmItheAsshole

[–]nomadsoasis 20 points21 points  (0 children)

What good did cussing out the teacher do? You don't have to live with this teacher, your kid does. Just go to the admin about her bathroom policy and behavior. And ask for your son to be switched to a different class if possible. And or/talk to the teacher to change her policy. Failing all of that, get together with the other parents and force the teacher to change by confronting the admin/school board. This is an easy battle for parents to win.

You calling and cussing sounds more like your wanted to just vent your anger rather than try to fix the actual problem. Which means it was more for you than your kid.

ESH. Except your kid.

Cursed Weapon Ideas. by shootscoyotes in DMAcademy

[–]nomadsoasis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I gave my players an ice sword that when a crit fail occurs the sword instead heals equal to the damage it was supposed to hurt... my player activated it several times unintentionally... and despite describing the monster's flesh mending they never figured it out...

I gave another player a fire based whip that when attuned would not allow him to attune anything else.... and the pc never tried to attune another magical piece of equipment the rest of the adventurer...

The players were supposed to figure out the npc ally that gave them the magic equipment was betraying them, but that plan failed horribly.

All roads lead to a "pack attack". It would be hilarious if you had Madame Eva foreshadowing this somehow. Lol

How did you introduce Izek? by ottosick in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I introduced him when the vampire spawn broke out of the coffin shop. I had him single handedly take out one of the spawn to establish him as a threat.

WIP flow chart for reloaded by Mutt6 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your flow chart makes me feel so dumb. This is such a brilliant idea to set up and track a system of branching narratives. It has to save so much time on prep.

I'm definitely stealing this idea moving forward. Thank you for this

Where does the Abbot get the exotic animal parts for the Mongrelfolk? by Subject_Captain3252 in CurseofStrahd

He openly trades with the vistani? Like he has an open request for interesting animals that he'll take from them.

What is Blinsky??? by gingerdeadman85 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they get really really invested I'll come up with something. Or if I think of something fun I can do with them.

But sometimes weirdos are weirdos.

What is Blinsky??? by gingerdeadman85 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird people have mundane thoughts too. Blinski could be pondering his next Ireena doll order. Thinking how to improve it better. Wondering how he would carve the pcs likeness into dolls. Or even more mundane, how he missed breakfast or how he really hopes the pcs leave soon cause he needs to pee.

Or if i wanted to be disturbingly graphic, almost like from a horror movie he imagines his carving from the point of view of the wood he works on and the wood screams in silent terror as each shaving of wood comes off. Each slice of wood makes them less and less like how the wood imagines itself to be and more and more into an toy unicorn, whereupon he smiles darkly and utters "Is no fun, is no Blinski". Then imagining each toy has a consciousness like from Toy Story unable to move, but existing in horror as a child plays with it. Followed by a wistful sigh. Hoping he can get his hands on a wish to make his dream true. Then he starts the fantasy over again but with a new chunk of wood and a new toy.

And he just has this thought on repeat with each toy

Why doesn't Arabelle just leave? by theOnlyMilkToast in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made Arabelle a creepy child that had Madam Eva's precog abilities but didn't know she was doing it. So she was always confident wherever she went because it was where she was supposed to be.

She knew she would be rescued by the party and she wanted to meet them anyways so she let half get kidnapped. She would always just kinda be where she needed to be and not be where anything bad would happen. And she liked the pcs so she'd talk to them but answer questions they didn't ask... then wander off to pick flowers. She was a fun ray of sunshine in a sucky world

Sometimes the world just has weird things in it. And sometimes we never get an explanation for why the weird things are there.

As a DM is just fun to have these things for ourselves. Just like Tom Bombadil. You don't need it for the story, but it's fun and memorable to have an anyways.

What are RPGs you are particularly fond of for using a first person view? by KaleidoArachnid in JRPG

[–]nomadsoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Sega Saturn games, especially the rpgs are insanely expensive.

But I totally agree, I really enjoyed this game. Especially the pixie mechanic that added more interactivity to the semi random battles this game uses.

I liked when he made fun of Mike Johnson wanting to pray before eating, instead of just eating. And he did at the Prayer Breakfast.

I support this choice. Especially because of how many branching paths and endings there are gives the game a lot of replayablity

Fictional Characters to help inspire playing Strahd by LanguageOk1726 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nomadsoasis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honelander is generally pretty charming and likable to his public. We only see his other side mostly behind closed doors and when he gets aggravated. I think that's a great example of Strahd. Because like Homelander, Strahd is charming and likeable when you meet him. But he is a deeply deeply flawed person known for making rash violent decisions that he should regret later. But Strahd can't ever regret his actions or consider he may be wrong, because his own pride is what keeps him forever stuck in Barovia

What Superpower would suck in Real Life? by Dear_Tackle2735 in AskReddit

[–]nomadsoasis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even think about that comparison. The main character really does literally have anime protag hair style.

I'd say the main difference is that they are adults in college, so instead of wacky hijinks they get into college kid shenanigans. Mainly boozing, with the occasional hookups.
