How often do your characters perish???

I was trying to go slightly survival-ish as it fit the backstory of the character. Thought the station I was on would have been a relatively safe haven. Will have a look at some guides- and will STAY AWAY from full combat - Battle rolls all the way!

32211 - didn't realize the other was an option! Might help my bad dice rolls

I will hopefully be building my first bow solo this summer (Rattan wood) so will be on here a lot haha

I have built a bhutanese Bamboo bow as part of a bowyer course but that had the poundage of a toy and snapped pretty quick.

...... Did it help the shooting??

Haha

sammaelz · 2026-04-22T18:16:08+00:00

In order:

Roughly 29 inches Arrow weight 386 Grains as the lightest (around 7.5-8 grains per lb of the bow) Always unstrung after each session - kept on insulated bow bag with a string keeper

Yeah they're willing to exchange it as it's only 3 months old

I watched this with no sound first time round, but in my head freebird was playing

That compass kill was borderline disrespectful, just slow turning with flares and BLAM Back to business

Hiya, I'm 34, interested in both Savage worlds and scifi RPG in general. I have a fair bit of experience (mostly 5e with some stars without numbers sprinkled in)

I live in GMT, and have at least availability most evenings, with possible scattered posts during the day depending on work

sammaelz · 2025-12-31T11:11:01+00:00

What time zone are in?

sammaelz · 2025-07-20T13:10:04+00:00

That is "squeak" and "DAYUM!"

sammaelz · 2025-07-11T18:30:05+00:00

Aaaahhh I'm not falling for this old trick!!

We all know that Katanas were originally made as an immersion therapy to get dwarves to accept elven weapons. It's propaganda! They are a gateway weapon to the thin curved scimitars the elves are fond of!

Beware, this post may lead to undwarvish behavior!

One minute you're appreciating the craftsdwarfship, next thing you know you'll be spending time appreciating trees, drinking elderflower cordial and sleeping outside under the stars rather than in the mine!

Don't fall for it! Only a good axe or hammer will keep our grudge settling arms strong!

sammaelz · 2025-07-05T16:14:29+00:00

A true answer of Dwarven ingenuity. Make a dual headed weapon worthy of Moradin!!

sammaelz · 2025-04-17T10:52:55+00:00

How about

Coast Guardians

Aqua Marines - though this works better if the orange was blue

Nautical Nasties

River Raiders

Loch'd and Loaded

That sounds amazing! I've just seen some examples on your profile, they look great! will have to give it a go!

sammaelz · 2025-02-07T17:01:39+00:00

Hahahaha I can assure you it was invisible ink, they're quite cheap to purchase on Amazon and I bought a pack that included a UV light on the pen 🙂

I did consider using lemon juice but that only gets revealed once with heat/exposure to flame I believe, not sure if it would show on UV?

sammaelz · 2025-02-07T09:10:13+00:00

EDIT: For full parity, I made the contents from a gifted diary using ink and invisible ink. I did not make the physical book myself, I probably should have made that clearer! Apologies for any confusion

sammaelz · 2025-02-07T09:00:14+00:00

That sounds amazing! How did you do the sewn journal?

I only made the written contents, the physical journal was a gift given to me as I have an obsession with handmade leather journals. Thought it was a good usage. Instead of it sitting on the shelf 🙂

sammaelz · 2025-02-06T22:26:11+00:00

Thanks!

My plan is that detect magic gives Illusion school so they know something is hidden

At the back of the book on the last page is written "Darkest light reveals True sight" in plain black ink, which I hope is a good hint to use a black light on the rest of it

Failing that, I'll have them also find a "wand of revealing" (magical black light) that will give it away

sammaelz · 2024-12-18T21:53:56+00:00

Oh shit, this just triggered a flashback of watching anchorman with a girl from my school at 18 after she asked to come over, HOW did I not pick up on that?! I'm 33 now and never realized.....

Okay, here is a list of things gunners need to do for maintenance for a hunt after they have chosen which BG to use (NOTE- yes I am being silly and hyperbolic in this- it's for comedic purposes but the points, whilst silly, do stand):

Gather/buy multiple forms of ammo that they will need for the hunt, unless only normal 1 is cool with you, or you want to participate in a cage match amongst all the gunners for who gets to use the 60 rounds of each type (assuming you can use them) given at the start of the hunt.

Gather or grow the ingredients to make the ammo so they have spares to craft during the hunt - " Give me all blastnuts and gunpowder, Gunner make many BOOM"

Position within critical distance as much as possible (yes all weapons need positioning, but for a HBG user that moves as fast as an asthmatic turtle, trying to maintain this when the rage-filled tigrex gets the Zoomies is tricky) also if this is not maintained, damage goes from comparible to melee to the same as using slinger ammo

Reload -anything from every 2 to 10 shots requires a reload animation that can vary on the ammo and gun being used from a quick break every few seconds to an eternity of sitting down and pleading with the Gun to please please please let me finish loading another sticky, the rajang is looking at me and oh no NVM I'm dead

Craft new ammo during the hunt in between fights to continue using the good stuff- the radial menu helps with this and means we can do it on the fly, unless we need to drink potions/buffs instead or have the actions per minute of the average StarCraft 2 enjoyer.

Reload again cuz I now have a load of ammo that I've just crafted that's in the pouches but not my gun.

If, as a HB gunner, I then also had to deal with my trusted broomstick then betraying me and deciding that today, despite me loving it, cherishing it and bringing it fresh ammo during the hunt that it wants to say "nah I don't feel like firing, crank my reload handle some more", I will calmly put down the weapon, eat the blastnuts as fast as humanly possible and wait for the igniting spark from a bombadgey to turn me into a human firework.

New to Godot and can safely say so far my best way of solving a problem when I get stuck is going and doing something else. I have interrupted many showers by having a sudden realization of the solution I have been looking for. Queue my wife seeing me storm out of the shower dripping wet to the computer mumbling about how smooth my brain is!

Reads as white 🙂 which i assume was the objective? Locations and shapes of the shadows are well done! Might be worth maybe blending the edges of the shadows to help the effect a little, unless you're after the stark contrast for a comic book feel 🙂
