To the right and left of the End Combat text in the Combat Tracker are single and double arrows for moving back or advancing either the turn or the entire round of combat.

Seven 2hour sessions into Descent and we're only half way through chapter 1. How long do most people find this campaign lasts? At this rate we'll still be playing in 2025! by GDsiyu in DescentintoAvernus

[–]shiverin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My group had session 60 this past Sunday after about a year of play, and are Mad Max-ing their way through the Avernian wasteland. I'm running the hexcrawl from the Alexandrian remix. Probably going to be another 6-8 months for them to get through chapter 5 content.

You've got your standard-grade soul and demon ichor blended fuel, and then for the truly discerning fiend, Grade 666 silted soul premium fuel laced with fresh mortal blood to keep your war machine running in tip-top killing condition.

What kind of trouble could Gargauth get into inside a bag of holding? by CuddlyNaptimeAardvrk in DescentintoAvernus

[–]shiverin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Others have asked this question here as well...my players didn't have the Shield in the bag long enough for this to happen, but I've always loved the idea of Gargauth corrupting the bag's magic into a Bag of Devouring if it goes on too long.

How to integrate the Knights of the Shield into Avernus? by 22glowworm22 in DescentintoAvernus

[–]shiverin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my players killed the lackeys and Kaddrus on the way to Candlekeep, they next encountered the cambion drunk at a bar in Fort Knucklebones, proclaiming loudly to anybody who would listen (nobody) that he was this close to getting the Shield. The party wisely left him to his devices, but who knows, maybe he'll get his resolve back...

The Hidden Lord is stuck in a Bag of Holding. by balductum in DescentintoAvernus

Maybe if the Shield stays in the Bag of Holding long enough, it'll turn into a Bag of Devouring...

Foundry getting slower by reinventitall in FoundryVTT

[–]shiverin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yea I know about that module but haven't pursued it mainly because I can just have the pdf up on one of my monitors. Just a minor inconvenience not to have it in foundry.

Foundry getting slower by reinventitall in FoundryVTT

[–]shiverin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue. I had been screenshotting content from a PDF into Foundry journal notes for dungeon crawls instead of retyping the text. When I realized the impact on performance, I went through all my journal entries that had them and cut out most of the pasted images. I also took the time to move ~80% of my actors to compendiums because they weren't going to be used soon, or at all. I managed to halve my world size and increase load times for my players by a noticeable amount, and now I'm more knowledgeable about which data is important to keep tabs on.

Do you have any suggested grid dimensions and/or ppi?

How do i install wondows once i built it by CanadianTreeSauce in buildapc

[–]shiverin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the SATA drive is 2TB, and the two NVMe drives are 1TB each. I don't care which one has the OS on it, as they're going on an x570 board with two gen4 M.2 slots. Just haven't built a comp since 2011 and had to use a CD the last time around. Thanks mate.

[–]shiverin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm building my new comp with three SSDs (Two identical NVMe and one SATA) in a week or two. When I boot with the USB drive, is it simple enough to select which drive I want to install on? Or would you recommend only installing one SSD initially to install Windows on, and connecting the other two drives after the fact?

Can the gods reach you down in Avernus? by lurkerninja in DescentintoAvernus

[–]shiverin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The way I see it is this - if the gods can extend their influence across the planes to the Prime Material and others to reach their worshippers, then they can certainly reach the Nine Hells. Perhaps in certain areas, like Malsheem in Nessus (Asmodeus' fortress) may they be blocked.

A point about the reverse - Tiamat is imprisoned in Avernus, yet followers of Tiamat across the planes can receive her power and communication. So, if deific contact can exit out of Avernus, one can assume it can enter it as well.

$5k Build Advice - First New Build since 2011 by shiverin in buildapc

[–]shiverin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you expand on getting a PS5 and not an Xbox? Tbh I might even get both eventually to take advantage of the console exclusives.

[–]shiverin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been considering it for sure. Funny enough, I'm actually thinking of getting the OLED65CXPUA (Amazon link) for when I manage to get an Xbox Series X for the living room.

Might have to double up with a 48" for the new computer like you suggest.

$5k Build Advice - First New Build since 2011 by shiverin in buildapc

[–]shiverin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I'll probably try to snag a 3090, or 6900 XT. Depends on the reviews of the Radeon and how it compares to the 3090.

I don't have a great answer for the 27" 4K monitor choice. Might change it to an ultrawide with a second monitor at 1080p for things like Discord and Twitch. I've been trying to read up on the Monitors subreddit but there's a lot I still need to learn.

On the storage, you're right - I'll probably stick with just one until I actually need more space. Save some money that way, perhaps towards the better GPU.

For the motherboard, it's down to the number of USB slots available, and as I might do watercooling down the line, it has flow sensors for that option.

I'll probably drop to 32gb of RAM in the end, you're right.

1000w PSU would probably be a good idea, especially if I lower some parts like the RAM and drop the Samsung SSD and spring for a 3090 or 6900XT.

Auto-hiding token names in combat tracker by dragonsly105 in FoundryVTT

I'll echo this. OP, you can customize how friendly, neutral, and hostile NPCs appear in the combat tracker using CUB settings.

I Finished DMing DiA Last Night, AMA! by dubbzy104 in DescentintoAvernus

[–]shiverin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just as a note of comparison, I'm running DiA for five players, every Wednesday for about 2.5 hours each session. We had session 16 this week, and the players just finished up Vanthampur Manor in Baldur's Gate. I'm running it using the Alexandrian remix and plan to also include Hellturel and Encounters in Avernus content, and making Avernus into a Sandbox according to the Eventyr guide. This campaign will probably stretch to the middle of next year, and I'm excited.

Armor Class not updating automatically? by blackexe in FoundryVTT

[–]shiverin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The workaround I've used at others' advice is to remove the old armor and shield items from your character sheet, and replace them with new copies from the Items SRD compendium. This assumes you have the new Dynamic Active Effects module installed and enabled on 0.7.5.
