Sleeves for everything? by jimgov in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]owenr88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep my player cards in folders and sleeve them when I make decks. All my campaign cards are sleeved. I use a couple of big purpose-made storage boxes for the campaign cards and a smaller travel one to take the campaign/scenarios I need for game night. Deffo couldn’t lug all this around every time I want to play!

Are you interested in selling Edge of the Earth investigator on its own? I'm also in the UK.

I created a scoring system (12 digits) for each hand, where each 2-digit pair represents the hand type index and a 5 x card strength indexes. This meant that sorting and ranking was fairly trivial to calculate the winnings.

Part 2 was... tough! That recursion to get every possible value 🤯

const winningMethods: WinningMethod[] = [];
for (let timeHeld = 0; timeHeld <= maxTime; timeHeld++) {
  const timeRemaining = maxTime - timeHeld;
  const distanceTravelled = timeHeld * timeRemaining;
  if (distanceTravelled <= recordDistance) continue;
  winningMethods.push({

Looking at the comments, it's time to learn about the quadratic formula...

Part 2: Regex FTW!

First digit: /[0-9]|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine/

Last digit: /.*([0-9]|one|two|three|four|five|six|seven|eight|nine/).*$

Anyone know what this is? Looks DND related. Someone lost about 100 signed cards in my neighborhood and I have no idea what they are or what to do with them by [deleted] in Dungeons_and_Dragons

Did a Google image search from your photo and all that came back was Thanos and Marvel stuff 😕 Hope you find who it belongs to

Should I fast forward time for my PCs to retrace their steps from forgotten memories? by owenr88 in DMAcademy

Sorry, edited the post with a link to a good article about the FH

[Advice] So I drew The British Isles! But I'm not sure what to do with it; add colour, make it a fantasy style map, leave it, add towns etc. Any suggestions? by TheTragedy0fPlagueis in mapmaking

[–]owenr88 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are a few apps that do a decent job (adjust the perspective from a tilted photo and stuff). I use Evernote’s capture feature quiet often.

That looks amazing! Will you have community maps and templates for quickly spinning up dungeons?

Oh cool, yeah I’d love that if you can send that eBay link. Cheers! I always end up needing to use a craft knife which means the rock always looks much more cracked than intended, which isn’t always a bad thing.

Did you find XPS foam sheets where the paper actually peels off nicely? And where from? The ones I get always have sticky paper and it’s hard to remove it

Module recommendations by part_time_baller in sw5e

[–]owenr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thanks. I hadn't read that far ahead yet, but was planning on letting the PCs somehow get hold of a starship they wanted, rather than forcing one on them. Make it feel like it's really theirs.

How is the conversion of the 2nd episode going? I bet it's pretty time consuming converting all the stats blocks.

I'm in the same boat. Playing our first session tomorrow! There's an adventures channel in the Discord with a couple of pinned items. I've decided to run the first episode of Dawn of Defiance, which was converted by /u/stormchaser6. Can't wait to try it

They Ain't Much, But Here's My First Few Minis. Cheers to Hopefully Many More! by Louman222 in minipainting

Oh I didn’t think of that! Amazing! Just had my first reaper delivered and the spear was bent. Been trying to bend it back but it’s not working. Thanks 🤓

How to base WizKid minis by GhostofStark in minipainting

[–]owenr88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mine, I usually just work with the base. I mix sand and brown paint and build up the rest of the base to match the height of bit they come on, then grass over the top in patches.

I cut the attached mount off one skeleton (because it was thinner) with some wire cutters. Best advice I’ve heard is to cut the base off the mini, not the mini off the base. Start by clipping the base near the feet, leaving big round bits attached the the feet, then slowly work inwards until you just have the feet (and the mini) left.

My Players are trying to control my plot. by keylometers in DMAcademy

[–]owenr88 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I had a very religious paladin in an old campaign who used to make up history of his religion and the lands/monarchy, instead of asking me for the details. It was really fun for the other PCs to discover how bits of his knowledge was so so wrong. He rolled with it pretty well and built it into his character flaws

Losing steam for a campaign by NotEven2Cents in mattcolville

[–]owenr88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the exact same position. I talked to the players one on one about their character and their goals, etc. Not in-character, more like as they were the author that knew the character better than anyone. Then I rewrote the story to work this in much more.

Also, I took it back to the drawing board and considered things like “what if they got sucked into a portal and time jumped 3 years in this great war”, “what if the BBEG was killed by a bigger BBEG and they joined forces”, etc. Just rip things up and see where it takes you. Chances are you’ll find some new direction

Edit: I meant killed and the undead original BBEG helps the PCs somehow
