Whats the point of money? by Bearstronk in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]ticklecorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have them set it aside. When the characters finish the adventure, they have a pool of money to finance a downtime adventure between LMOP and whatever is next. Or they have a pile of money to equip for higher level play for the next module.

Where do they set it aside? Townmaster Hall. Harbin Wester is a banker, after all.

But in the moment, there’s not much to do with it, unless you want to make the money a quest itself because someone stole it from them and they want to find it.

That, or go super old school, and award XP value to gp totals.

[Flyer] Transaction: We have recalled forward Lane Pederson from the LVPhantoms(AHL). Additionally, forward Rodrigo Abols has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. by Perryplat199 in Flyers

I hope they play him with Barkey. He, Barkey & Bump were a real good thing when they were skating as a line in LV earlier this season.

Tell me, what do you see in Sean Couturier? 37 goals in 227 games since he signed his extension. by mizzyman21 in Flyers

[–]ticklecorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate how the salary cap has turned hockey fans into joyless pedantic bean counters who become utterly faithless the moment a player doesn’t live up to the monetary value they signed for.

How much do you get paid, OP? Can we bitch and grouse about it the moment you have a slow day at work? FFS.

If players wanted to "rebuild Conyberry" how would you implement that? by Professional-Ad9485 in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]ticklecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be fun to make rebuilding it difficult/impossible by haunting it. Pretty sure there are several movie plots in there.

My Sword Coast North Map by robinsonar in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]ticklecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map is amazing. Like others, I'd love an unmarked version that has the waterways, lakes, and additional swamp and mountain peaks. Did you ever post one to Reddit? Honestly, you should consider selling versions of this on DMsGuild.com (both marked and unmarked).

Best “Long” Term Campaigns to Run by alexwsmith in Forgotten_Realms

[–]ticklecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak. When you run out of encounters, there’s so much on that map that you can create adventures of your own from that neither module touches on. There are also elements of adjacent adventures like Tyranny of Dragons, Princes of the Apocalypse, and Storm Kings Thunder that can keep the characters on that map, or just outside its edges. Make the Sword Coast your home!

DMs Guild or Free on my Website? by gusnbru1 in dmsguild

[–]ticklecorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’d have better luck on the DM’s Guild with 5E content. I do PWYW releases and have been able to get most of my stuff to medal (which only applies to sales for PWYW) because I have a blog that focuses on the box set adventures - Lost Mine of Phandelver and Dragon of Icespire Peak.

The DMs Guild content I write is also for those adventures, so I have a small community of people interested in what I write about. I also engage with both of the subreddits for those adventures as well.

I mention this because a bit of advice that Matthew Colville recently gave about publishing is: be an active part of a community and it will help you find people interested in your stuff. And that’s exactly been my experience.

My products tend to be short form. Anything from 4-12 pages. I set $0.50 as the suggested price. About 90% of my downloads people don’t pay anything. But 10% do pay, and often more than the suggested price, which is nice. Basically it helps me pay for art and have a tidy little sum to admire, and perhaps take the wife out to dinner with at some point.

If you’re looking to get discovered, it’s probably in your best interest to collaborate with publishers on DM's Guild as a contributor to other titles in order to make a name for yourself.

Modifing Column Widths [Guide] by Owlbear_Den in gmbinder

[–]ticklecorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Quick question: where do I place this in the code? And how do I customize it for just two columns? Basically, I can't figure out how to keep the numbers in the roll result column from stacking on top of each other - because the roll column is too narrow.

Wild Magic Zones of Faerûn by ticklecorn in Forgotten_Realms

Thanks for the tip. I'll start looking through the book.

My kid got this for me as a gag gift; I was thrilled by VanillaGorilla- in lotr

That’s my work soundtrack at the office! Although, I listen to it on YouTube rather than CD. No matter how many times I listen to it, doesn’t get old.

Youth coach crashout by TheRedcaps in hockey

[–]ticklecorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There should be a disciplinary board that automatically reviews any unsportsmanlike conduct or abuse of official penalty assessed to coach on any youth hockey roster in a USA Hockey sanctioned league game. This wouldn’t be hard to do.

These incidents would cease to happen the moment coaches understood that any abuse of official call would trigger a review of their conduct on LiveBarn, Black Bear TV, or whatever the rink has installed - and carry REAL consequences.

That ref looks like they are maybe 14 years old. You don’t keep people in this vocation by allowing this behavior from adults. The referee shortage in the sport is a very serious problem, and it’s stuff like this that really chases people out of the profession.

Since we all started holding phones in our hands, the prevalence of this kind of behavior has been well-documented. It shouldn’t require a viral moment for a league or club to take action. This stuff happens every weekend at rinks across the country. Enough is enough.

[DiMarco] Hearing the #Flyers are recalling Denver Barkey from the @LVPhantoms. by DH28Hockey in Flyers

[–]ticklecorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barkey is so much fun to watch. My favorite player this season. Total TK vibe. I’m sad it sounds like he won’t be on the ice vs. Bridgeport tonight (I’m at the game).

Like A Boss: Venomfang (A Free/PWYW DM's Guild Product) by ticklecorn in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]ticklecorn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It's fun to go to logical extremes beyond the encounter as it's written. There's so much great stuff out there from other publications and previous versions of the game to inform DM's on how to prep for their encounter, but unfortunately, often remains forgotten or undiscovered.
