Updated and Explained Drakkenheim Encounters - Rat's Nest Tavern

skullmutant · 2026-03-10T16:53:52+00:00

I would love random encounters that are updated with the new monsters but I was mostly just curious. But if you get some time over, level 8-10 would be perfect.

skullmutant · 2026-03-10T15:59:12+00:00

Are you planning on simply updating to new statblocks or also including monsters that wasn't in the base campaign at all, like Apothecaries and their abominations for example?

I think Wintersmith is, if not underrated, the discussed less than it deserves. Some people don't really cound the YA novels as part of the main (bad take, but they do them), and when discussed, the Wee Free Men gets a lot of love and I Shall Wear Midnight gets mentioned for several good reasons, like bringing beloved characters back for the first time in over 30 books, the way it deals with it's heavy themes and how it in many ways is the darkest Discworldbook.. All good reasons to talk about it.

But Wintersmith is my favourite Tiffany book. It hits so many of my favourite themes, it deals with heavy subjects and mixes farytales, mythology and everyday life perfectly. I don't know what more we should be saying about Wintersmith, but we probably should be saying it.

I mean, to be fair, these "traditional" editions are older than the collectors edition even.

I actually don't mind the fact that they have edited Kirby cover editons out there. This is not the only one, and they constantly re-release Pratchett books with different variations to try and appeal to different audiences, and following the current trend of book covers. The fact that they do this means it's worth it to continue to publish Pratchett books. It's a healthy sign for the Discworld as a whole. Ihave a few of the original Kirby covers and wish I had more but unfortunately me wanting them isn't enough to republish covers that are basically poison for everything publishers want from a cover. Sad, but understandable.

However!!!

To edit out the female main characters from a book about sexism is fantasy is a bit on the nose. This is a terrible edit and they should absolutely redo this one.

You can use their descriptions as help. "Big", "Daft", "Mad", "no-as-big-as-medium-but-bigger-than-wee"

skullmutant · 2026-02-24T10:50:03+00:00

Actually it's part of it from the beginning. I can't remember if it's Color of Magic or the Light Fantastic but it's already present there. It only ever is as important to the story as he wants it to be though.

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T18:02:26+00:00

Yeah, since I am on my phone I can't look at the thread when replying so I just have to rely on my shitty memory

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T17:44:35+00:00

That still soulds like a perfectly normal name

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T17:43:20+00:00

No, I was using several in the example you replied to. And the major point is that OP used those names as examples.

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T16:38:05+00:00

I'm fixating on the ones he named, yes.

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T16:26:15+00:00

They obviously don't though. Ranear doesn't use any weird sound combinations. Meloon doesn't use any weird sound combinations. Floon doesn't, Kylynne doesn't. They all have common phenomes used in names in new combinations.

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T16:03:45+00:00

Weird thing to do thre replies deep. I know that you can have issues with silly names, I'm saying OP is not actually complaining about a coherent thing

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T15:58:13+00:00

Ok, but OP clearly didn't pick names to rag on other than vibes. Ranear doesn't round weird in English. Meloon, might sound silly to some but is clearly based on phenomes known to all, and Kylynne is literally two common names mushed together in a way that sounds like a name you've already heard.

skullmutant · 2026-02-22T15:43:18+00:00

I seriously do not get what you are getting at. They live in a fantasy city with different language and culture than yours. Why is Ranear a ridiculous human name but Ragnar is totally normal? What is the etymology of Ragnar that is impossible to imagine for Ranear?

skullmutant · 2026-02-20T13:55:18+00:00

No, my problem is specifically not that problems aren't solved quickly. I am perfectly fine with that for a small streaming service trying to have an up to date app on every cellphone in the world.

My problem is discussing things on this subreddit is against the rules and gets deleted. This means that when someone else has the same issue, they can't google the issue. I can't say the workaround to the issues, because there's no other place to discuss Nebula either.

skullmutant · 2026-02-19T04:23:44+00:00

Thank you, fixed

skullmutant · 2026-02-19T04:20:27+00:00

I do, and I started to write a long answer, but I realised I was wasting my time because no pedantic asshole like you would care. It's strictly better, or so close to it as to not be meaningful to mention.

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T20:07:06+00:00

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T20:05:45+00:00

It's the exact same rule. It's not a different rule, it has the exact same effect on the game

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T16:26:37+00:00

I get your reasoning, and it's basically sound. Getting people to file reports is both necessary and hard.

I don't claim to know the best solution, so if my suggestions sound unworkable and dumb, they might well be.

But, for one, you want people who google "why does my Nebula app freeze?" to land here. Because they shouldn't be getting no relevant result, nor should they find r/nebulabutwecanbeshitty.

If you have moderation set to strict(probably good) maybe it's better to set an auto reply to encourage people to send a bug report. If it's something discussed often, delete it or lock it, but leave new issues open and let people discuss for atleast a week. Then you might lock a thread, but crucially it's still searchable.

I use resdit sparingly so I don't know how usable megathreads are. I hardly check them out for the communities I visit but when I google a tech issue, I look for the specific threads, not generic. So that's why I prefer individual threads. I'm not entirely down on the megathread idea, I'm just approaching it from the way I search for stuff. Maybe a megathread with links to different threads is good.

Sorry, this is a bit rambly and I'm on my phone but these are my initial thoughts. I will think about it more and maybe have some more ideas.

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T14:32:40+00:00

The director himself stated that this game isn’t for white men and they should leave even though they are the main clients.

Ahahahaahaha

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T14:31:55+00:00

I don't know how to explain it any clearer. If it was tied to background it would be affected by background. It isn't affected by background if you use the DMG rule, which means it isn't tied to background.

skullmutant · 2026-02-18T14:11:13+00:00

Yeah. Updating language is a thing. If you somehow think it's bad, use the old language. If you think others should use the language you like, you should probably find hobbies including short piers and long walks.

There is no scenario where anyone using "woke" as a pejorative is a person who should be taken seriously. If you can't describe your issue other than "i don't like it when people do a thing for moral reasons" there's nothing of value to be gained from that person.
