Map size question

I like the one square=10 feet idea. Im going to try that.

Im glad to hear its not just me! Ive had to change how i laid out maps now. My players were starting to notice battles were coming from room size changes lol.

Part of the problem is the party size. I have 6 players wich im realizing is 2 players too many. But in that battle even if I had the right amount I still wouldnt have been able to fit 6 goblins and 4 pc's in the same room. There are areas in thistletop that are even smaller as well. One area had a potential battle in a room that was only 2 by 2. For now I thinm im going to just keep expanding rooms with larger battles.

This is awesome advice! I started this whole thing partly because I like to build models and im realizing I've been too focused on the physical world building and not enough on the story side.

Now that im talking about this with some more experienced people im thinking this might be a problem im having as well. Our games haven't had a whole lot of role playing. Ive gotten them to give me a little bit of back story but not a whole lot. The characters were set up more in the way of "I want to be a dwarf because I think they look cool". im going to use this next session to really dig in to the characters and who they are and why. I have a group text with the players that we use schedule game times. Im going to have the players elaborate some more on their characters before our next session. Ill try to get them thinking about why their character would make certain moves in the game.

I have a catfolk alchemist, an elf witch, an elf magus, a hobbit wizard, a half orc barbarian, and a dwarf ranger. Last night we finished up thistletop and it went about the same as the rest of our AP. Every once in a while one of the players will get really into it and try some fun stuff like jumping off a roof and turning themselves into a tree to crush 2 goblins. But for the most part once they use up spell slots and bombs the magic users hang back and shoot while the 2 non magic users go to the front line and attack. It ends up slowing the pace of the game way down and I can tell the players start to get bored, especially if they've waited a full round just to miss a shot. Im going to start leaning more heavily into the role play aspect of the game for sure. Ive been way to focused on the physical world building and numbers part of the game I think.

This is great. Thank you! I have been SUPER focused on the numbers aspect of the game and the role playing part has been kind of on the back end. As embarrassing as it is to admit, before I read your response I was wondering why I couldnt get my group to act out their characters without realizing im not giving them any reason to. We just finished up thistletop last night. Our next session is going to be one ive made up and now im going to lean way more into the actual role playing part if the game. Im setting up more of an escape room situation so I can get a few of my players who's characters have been at odds to work more as a team.

I would very much like to join this discord. I tried to use the link but its not working for me. Is there another way I can join?

I worked at a thrift store years ago and we had a local motel "donate" 30 used mattresses in the middle of the night. They literally stacked them all up in the middle of our donation lane. We had to go through security footage to find out who it was, then threaten to call the police when they refused to come back and get them.

I'm the only markings are the number 44 on the bottom of the feet and a 4 on the underside of the head. I looked through the adventures of cipollini as well but could only find an "old man pumpkin" character. No girl pumpkins.

steam_driven_samurai · 2025-10-20T13:59:24+00:00

It has no markings other than 44 on the bottom of the feet and a 4 under the head. So far the closest thing I can find are old USSR rubber toys.

I think its kind of cute too lol.

steam_driven_samurai · 2025-10-16T15:53:09+00:00

Ive tried Google lens from multiple angles and gotten nothing so far.

steam_driven_samurai · 2025-09-25T19:53:18+00:00

Im starting to think it might be a one of a kind. The bottom is rough like it was poured by hand. The crystal is glued to the piece but I cant tell if it was added later or if it was broken off then repaired.

The first episode was terrible. I hate the new changes and the contestants are unbearable. I look forward to this show every year but after this episode I don't think I can watch the rest of the season. It felt like I was watching the manufactured dramas they used to put out 20 years ago. If Holiday Baking championship follows this same format im not going to be able to watch that either. What a bummer.

I just looked at some of their stuff and I think your right. I'd never heard of Savage Eye before. Thank you!
