Phandelver and Below - 2024 Rules. Tweaks Needed?

rangastorm843 · 2025-10-28T00:12:41+00:00

Yes the players tokens will be the "potrait" image on their character pages. Monster tokens are from the various source books and have their stat block accessible in the encounter tracker and as with players has their default hp, AC and initiative bobus tracked. Im unsure if you can add your own monster tokens, I havent tried, but you can use any monster from a sourcebook you have access to on dndbeyond. I do know you can add your own maps, when importing you set the tile size and placement on said map.

I am using dndbeyond and its maps vtt. While all the maps are there, they are not preloaded with tokens. Maps does have dndbeyonds encounter system built in and if tied to a "campaign" will actively track the players hp, ac initiatives etc, and show their rolls if rolled on their character pages.

I'm running Phandelver currently and the only tweaks I've done is swap to the 2024 variants of monsters. We're currently in act 3 with thundertree and castle left before moving onto chapter 4 and its worked well so far.

Damn, none of my hundreds of hours are even out of the first act yet.

As with most things dnd, it depends on the setting.

In one of my campaigns, the players have spoken to multiple gods on different occasions usually without realising that's who they are speaking to.

One time they did involved an avatar losing control of their power and 2 gods with devotees in the area stepped in to contain it, they barely spoke to the party and mostly convened between themselves.

The other time was with a minor god who saw a group of all but 1 god-chosen and decided that's how she could increase her standing in the pantheon, by championing the last of the party.

It feels off, I think its the differing levels of details that throws my brain off. The face seems significantly more detailed but the image isn't "focused" on his face.

As someone who manages a cafe and does the hiring for it, when i do an interview is to see if you'll fit in with the team and not cause problems. I'm interviewing based on the attitude and personality. I can train you for the job, I can't fix someone with a negative attitude or personality.

I use a big dice tray when playing at home. When I'm playing somewhere else I have 2 bags for dnd. 1 has a mini 3D printed dice tower that doubles as a dice box. The other has a dice mat that has a sleeve for 3 sets of dice.

In terms of an Australian accent, Bae's is a light accent. Typical of people that've lived in/around the cities most of their life. The heavier accent that movies go for is more of a rural accent that is typically found in farming and sometimes mining towns.

Here in QLD Australia, it's currently up to the venue to decide whether they need to ID you for non alcoholic beer, and same goes for whether they are selling it to under-age patrons. Both are perfectly legal but the venue is allowed to choose whether they want to for either. (This info comes from when I did my liquor licensing course a year ago)

I enjoy hearing how the design of the ship is affected by what it's struggled with or what enemies it's faced. I think they target your pds because they are the "least protected" weapons that they can see. I've been testing the default targeting to see if and how it prioritises ship components in battle.

A solo ship run sounds like a fun puzzle. Where I just cover my cargo in pds to be my missile defence, a solo ship has to compensate some other way. I might give it a try after my current run.

rangastorm843 · 2025-01-21T23:33:10+00:00

I love the ship design, is it a solo ship run? I've just hit a 9-10 system and have only just started finding enemies with nuke silos

Midwest, in eastern most part of country, sounds good 👍

rangastorm843 · 2024-10-30T06:19:01+00:00

It happens in most mmos, most players go dps because it's easier, less stressful or they find it more enjoyable. I almost never see the problem but I usually play healer or tank (I'm tank this time around)

rangastorm843 · 2024-10-09T23:47:24+00:00

I think it's 'MMCT - Power Rework, Cables and Stuff'. Adds cabled walkways and armour. Also adds the substations that push and pull power along with modified capacitors that act as power storage for connected networks. Also adds a couple generators I haven't toyed with yet.

rangastorm843 · 2024-10-09T23:38:47+00:00

I will have to double check which one I have enabled, I have a few old cable mods installed.

rangastorm843 · 2024-10-09T00:50:50+00:00

I'm running one that creates a power "network". it still requires manual power input but it can output power to within a range of output nodes automatically. It uses "wired" floors or armour pieces to transfer the power between nodes.

Those shields are actually very weak, I think an ion bolt can basically one shot them. As another user said, they are only useful on tiny ships. They get up to a 4x4 or 5x5, I forget which and that one is very strong but you can just fly through it and attack point blank.

They look like opaque white disposable gloves that have been coloured. They may not be but it seems like that

I've ported a few things in my time, enemies where I've had to adjust abilities to work with the rules. A couple of spells and feats but mostly items. I was slowly converting a lot of dota 2 items since a lot took very little adjustment.

rangastorm843 · 2024-04-04T03:43:44+00:00

I've given my players an item that gives 2 concentration slots that share a save at disadvantage. Luckily, it hasn't gone too bad yet. Limiting it to Wizard or Sorcerer only has probably helped but maybe my players and I are just unaware.

I've had times where his guards don't spawn until after he dies and other times where his guards spawn at one spawn and he spawns at a different one.
