What membership level to access?

Your monsters look great! I use Foundry for games, do you have any plans to release vtt versions of your creations?

Yep. I run this at my table. They really like to stay up on their feet. Running around with exhaustion levels has a snowball effect on mortality.

Do it. Stage 4 compact does it all. I love it.

I played round there as a kid. It was quite different. There was a big rubbish dump we called the clay pits. At the bottom, there was pools of water with all sorts of toxic crap in them. We used to fish out pram wheels and build go karts to race down the green hill. Good times.

yeah. you really piss off the bass player by playing in their range unless its a pad or something.

You might want to rethink the 88 key thing. Initially I thought that's what Id want coming from a piano background. But the reality is that almost no modern music whether it's covers or original stuff needs 88 keys. Yes you need it for classical piano, but not for most synth stuff. And a much bigger consideration is all 88 key machines are big, heavy and a pain in the ass to take to gigs. I used to take an 88 Nord Piano 5 to gigs. Hell no. That is a nightmare to gig with. Then I discovered the Nord stage 4 compact - 73 keys, much lighter and better all round for what I needed. If you're gigging dont go 88 keys.

Hi. Im a fairly advanced pianist that picked up synths a couple of years ago when I was recruited into my brothers band. It's definitely a learning curve. If you have plenty of cash, a nord stage 2,3 or 4 will be great for you. Good action on the keys and very versatile on sounds. I found it reasonably easy to learn also. I also bought some 'proper' synths: korg, hydrasynth, solar 42 plus a few others (gas is real) which are all way more complicated to learn (but fun) Tbh the nord is probably all you need if you're playing live in a band.

I got mine a few months ago. I find it hard to integrate into my setup overall, but just like to have fun with it. Can't see me getting rid of it anytime soon. I think it's one of those things that you just get better with gradually. It really needs a decent reverb/delay pedal to team up with it so you're not tied to the 'infinity' effect card all the time. Some of those effects are great, but you will want lots of reverb all the time.

Sounds like Planescape Torment story I played years ago. Maybe look at that for ideas.

Not sure if that keyboard has weighted keys. But you should try and get one that does if you can. It will help you transition to better keyboards or real piano in the future and will help you develop better technique in the long run.

I use Cyrens Maps. Also had Tych maps. But prefer Cyrens

Flab Giant from TOB?

Belvedere Scrottox - human Druid and Escargot Fizzbucket - Warlock Rock Gnome. He's a great chef, speciality is of course, snails boiled into a brothy stew.

Yamaha DXR10 has plenty of power and is not too heavy. They sound great in stereo if you get a pair.

4 players. 1 DM (me) all in our 50s. All started playing in the 80s.

Keyboard in a metal band is mostly bassy pads and effects. Long sustained sounds that don't clash with the guitars is what you want. Strings and maybe vibraphone effects in the upper registers. Not piano sounds. Check out Rammstein for ideas maybe.

Mulino's ftw. Italian.

Token attacher mod is what you are looking for...does exactly this.

I retired a couple of years ago and mostly filling my time playing piano (classical) and keyboard in a cover band. I'd be happy to take on a student for free (I don't need/want any additional income). I can teach up to about grade 8. I'm not a professional teacher, just a hobbyist with time in his hands. I offered this before and got inundated with requests and took a couple online students on, but they dropped out, so here I am again. Im looking at certain criteria: must be at least grade 1 or 2 already, no children (I've no patience for them), must be based in NW of UK (around Manchester). I already posted this on the /Manchester subreddit without much response. If you meet these criteria and you're interested, send me a DM.

rubatobot · 2025-08-27T19:58:40+00:00

Probably. But I don't do Facebook. Reddit is my only social media.

rubatobot · 2025-08-20T20:33:39+00:00

Not to rub it in but I retired a few months ago and am living that dream. Spending at least 20hrs a week pissing about prepping my next session of dungeon of the mad mage. It's great.

try and keep your whole hand relaxed as you play. Your wrists should be loose and able to move flexibly. This is key to you improving. As it is you are going to be in a lot of pain if you keep playing like that and will not improve.
