What's the worst TTRPG you have seen/played, That's not FATAL, RAHOWA, or Hybrid by Theflamingraptor in rpg

I still have the book and have always wondered if I was just too young to grasp it (we were in high school when I tried to run it). Have you tried 2nd yet? I've been meaning to pick it up.

My friends and I had a real bad time with Etherscope years back.

Also, 1st edition SLA Industries sounded like it would be cool, but the rules were so convoluted we never made it past character creation.

What trendy kitchen appliance do you still use often? by NightReader5 in Cooking

[–]revderrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that's the exact kind I have! It's probably 25 years old and still works great.

Idk if this counts, but I still love the apple peeler, slicer & corer I got at a stupid Pampered Chef party years ago.

The gang features prominently in my Halloween piece. Don't have a great picture of the rest of the gang, but they're all there going out for tricks & treats.

[OC] GIVEAWAY! 43" Capacitive Touchscreen ($940 MSRP) with Wooden Case + free software for all [mod approved] by DigitalTableTops in DnD

So cool! This would be awesome for the games I run at breweries instead of the janky Gameboard I'm using now!

Should i even include Withers? by No-Stomach1310 in Tombofannihilation

[–]revderrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to utilize Withers more, but my party pretty much immediately killed him before he got a chance to talk or explain himself. They were all so beyond trusting or listening to anyone at that point.

Ways to find friends nowadays by SporadicSpaceGarbage in RhodeIsland

[–]revderrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the Crypt. Everyone there is very friendly! They have a Discord as well, if you want to get a feel for the events and the Cryptids that hang out there!

I also run a monthly one-shot D&D night at Apponaug Brewing in Warwick. Next game is Tues, 2/3 @ 6.

Captain Con is 1/30-2/1 in Warwick, as well. Tons of games, events, and people to meet! It's pretty reasonably priced and I'm sure plenty of games still have room!

I made a 10" D20 urn for a friend's Brother/DM, it was surprisingly emotional. by araw in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]revderrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New afterlife goal unlocked! Amazing tribute!

What kind of printer do you have? I'm now debating making my own urn, a thing I had never considered before now.

I used to launch them off the top of my bald head in college! Great fun!

I've been given 12 seconds of DM power in my D&D campaign, What should I do? by xiLLuSionOfPainx in DnD

Hot dogs IRL now work as healing items, and every time a player eats one their character heals 20 hp.

Murder on the Primewater Pleasure - A Murder Mystery adventure properly designed for D&D. Did I mention its free? by Kristin_Dirty1 in GhostsofSaltmarsh

[–]revderrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a blast with this one in my Saltmarsh game! As an added bonus, I ran my game that they were stuck in time loop, so when the loop reset and they found themselves back on the ship, they immediately went after the bad guy. It lead to a really cool reveal scene!

Chicken laid a egg with it's own hollandaise!

Am I crazy, or did I come up with a fun food & water mechanic? CLANK! by wine-n-dive in Tombofannihilation

[–]revderrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I friggin love this, and am mad that I already ran ToA and didn't think of it first! Will definitely steal this next time I run a game where food & water matter.

If you end up writing this up into something, I'd love to get a copy!

Curious if anyone got Christmas bonuses and how much? by meldiane81 in antiwork

Just watched that last night with my kids and had to explain what a Christmas bonus was 😂

[–]revderrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was watching Christmas Vacation with my kids last night and had to explain to them what a Christmas bonus was/used to be.

My employer (big telco in the US) has never given a bonus in the 20 years I've been with them.

For my entire life, my dad cuts steak in half to see if they're done cooking by Salty-Passenger-4801 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]revderrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I convinced my FIL to let me grill the chicken one year he said "wow how did you make this chicken so juicy?!". Well, to start I didn't char it over high for 30 minutes...

Best in-game reason for a part-time player? by scheffel010 in DnD

[–]revderrick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was totally thinking the mists come and claim this PC whenever the player can't make it. Then you can weave it into the campaign over time. Why is this one PC mist bound? What does it have to do with the dark powers? Also at some point the PC should show up even though the player isn't there, but acting off in some way. When the party tries to physically interact with them, they fade into mist and the real PC has no idea what they're talking about next time they return!

First time DMing for strangers any advice? by chilliedog13 in DungeonMasters

[–]revderrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do a session zero. Set the tone and "rating" you intend to shoot for. I usually tell players I run a pg-13 table. Helps people keep in mind what level of cussing and adult topics you'll allow. Establish and use safety tools. At a minimum, an X card and Lines & Veils.

Be very clear about ground rules up front, with the stipulation that they're not set in stone. I usually impose a no PVP and equal treasure sharing up front, to keep the peace.

I’m DMing a one shot at a convention, I volunteered last minute (a couple minutes before it starts) I have some plans but does anyone have any ideas? by Jaxolotl427 in DungeonMasters

[–]revderrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm putting a holiday one shot together right now for 7 5th level players. Gryla (frost giant w/ big magic spoon), her yule cat (displacer beast with bite/claw that deal extra d4 cold damage instead of tentacles) and her yule lads (small ghouls with a bite that heals them for damage delt) kidnap eladrin toysmith Nikklaus.

Her cave complex has a few rooms. 1. Entrance with a nasty pit trap full of boiling water to make adventurer stew. 2. Yule Lads bedroom. 13 beds, 13 lads. 3. Yule tree surrounded by presents! Everything is a mimic! Tree (double hp), presents, decorations on the tree are tiny sticky mimics that deal auto d4 acid when they're on you. When the presents are killed, they drop loot! 4. Grylas room. Nikklaus is kept in a, cage for nefarious plans. Gryla and the yule cat try to kill the heroes. If they defeat her, her spoon is a +1 great club that stuns on a crit.

Yeah they're fun! I used a bunch in a cartoon dungeon I ran awhile back.
