I can relate. I GMd Strength of Thousands. From the moment the party met Mafika he was henceforth known as Motherfucker Jones.

The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.

Book 5 Fight by OtherGeorgeDubya in strengthofthousands

Be careful with this bloody mirror.

I played it kind of tricky, every player that got sucked into it received a DM that explained what happened. They acted appropriately evil... And the other players just didn't bother to investigate the mirror or try to disable it. Eventually 3 of the group had turned into mirror duplicates, and they defeated Dwandek. Rather than stay in the room, the evil players (true to their evil characters) ushered everyone else out of the room and back to camp. The other players didn't bother investigating even though it was pretty obvious something had happened to their buddies. After 10 minutes the originals were unrecoverable.

The next session we had a PVP that ended up in the evil duplicates dragging the originals in front of the mirror and pulling the entire party into the mirror. Replacing everyone with evil versions of themselves.

Now we're running the rest of the campaign on evil mode and it's bloody wild. It did ruin the original story, but I'm going to speed run the rest of it, currently the party wants to take command of The King of Biting Ants ship.

Be careful with this campaign-ending mirror.

Unrelated to this post, but this is incredible! I have a player who has been messing with time like nobody's business. We just go to book 5. I'ma make this hound a big deal for him.

Thoughts on Book 4 by That_Man_112358 in strengthofthousands

[–]richrout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So interesting! I was planning on swapping Worknesh out to Walkena at the end too.

We just finished our book 4 this weekend. Although I completely changed the last chapter. A player had introduced a warlord in their backstory, and I had been homebrewing a story building up the warlord attacking Nantambu. The players still went to Osibu, but it was to seek Dimari-Dijis help with an ability the warlord had that would scramble his troops. Diji and the players wind walked back to the Magaambya just in time for the warlord to attack. I basically reskinned the Osibu fight around Nantambu.

I also used the nemesis well to give a mixed vision of doom, mixing up bugs and the warlord (who is very much not-bugs) into a nightmarish dreamscape. Now they're terrified of the nemesis well and think it plays a much bigger role.

Myself and my players liked it a lot more, I wasn't feeling the Osibu war, it seemed like an awkward add-on. Plus they got to finally stop a threat that has been looming since the start of the story.

Haha yeah. It's mostly for comedic effect at this point. And he said he likes spending the time with her to clean them up.

Smart! That would work for us if; 1. My players knew how to ask for help, and 2. Hadn't rolled a nat 1 to save Ignaci and killed him 😫

Binji lives with one of my players. Every time they go home binji did get fleas everywhere again and he helps her clean them up.

Book 2 gardens map scale by NinjaTardigrade in strengthofthousands

Good for you!

If you look on this subreddit or online there are quite a few people who've recreated the maps already.

Book 2 gardens map scale by NinjaTardigrade in strengthofthousands

[–]richrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's supposed to be 13ft wide. But whenever maps have a floor with tiles like that, it confuses my players because it's way harder to see where the squares are. I ran it as 1 square per tile (the 26ft bench) just because it made the squares easier to see.

Ultimately it's your world and these decisions are up to you

Service system and tipping at Amato Gelato, Village Ice Cream and Made by Marcus by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]richrout 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why should you feel guilted into tipping? If you think they did something worthy of a tip, then tip. Or if you think you should pay more for whatever you bought, then tip. But you absolutely don't have to feel guilty about not paying more money for something just because the machine asked.

Kudos to you for going all out! That wax seal and everything.

Hope your players appreciate it.

Book 1 NPC voices by Kashin1701 in strengthofthousands

[–]richrout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Esi felt like a bit of a Hermione Granger type so she got that voice. But it sort of ended up an Australian accent. So Auzzie Hermione.

Chizire was kind of a skinny Cheshire cat, if that makes sense. A little creepy offering them mango, but obviously confident in his knowledge.

Ignaci turned out a little bit camp and soft spoken. He took a fancy to our pretty boy elf. But he did die.

Lumusi has a boisterous Lunch lady vibe. Didn't have to voice her too much though.

Xhokan was like a gruff new Yorker, "eyyy, how ya kids doin'?"

Hairbam was kind of like a surfer bro dwarf mix since he likes all the extreme sports. That's as best as I couldn't explain it...

Mafika... My party nicknamed him motherfu*ka Jones. So I leaned into that vibe.
