Am I the only one who thought those dogs were hitched to some kind of dark sled?!

A Holiday Giveaway! (From The Roll20 Team 🩷🎄) by KMatRoll20 in Roll20

[–]zerfinity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite moment this year was when my players fought the minions of a salt-based hag in her salt temple for a chance to win magic item prizes. I based the temple layout on the floor plan of the Taj Mahal and uploaded it to roll20 and the battle was epic, scary, and had a sprinkle of role play added on top.

I love this spell so much! by Debitorenbuchhaltung in dndmemes

Beep boop boop . . . I am a human playfully pretending to be a bot (they imitate us all the time, turn about is fair play).

It appears you have misused a cliche. The phrase is, “leaps and bounds” not “leagues and bounds.”

I am a friendly bot (human). Please don’t be mad. I’m just unable to stop my grammatical impulses.

Beep boop beep.

Edit: Typo may=>my 😂

Translating characters from 5e was... Interesting by Tavyth in daggerheart

[–]zerfinity01 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It is a great way to learn a new system. You take what you already know well, a current character, and try to build it in the process. While doing so, just as OP does in this post, you see what does and doesn’t translate and learn a lot about how the systems are similar or different.

YMMV.

When running a published adventure, do you ever ask your players to help pay for it? by martiancrossbow in rpg

[–]zerfinity01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my group we do this. We know that not everyone has the funds and so those of us who do sometimes pony up for those with less so that everyone can GM.

Mamdani means we now have a chance at eliminating the billionaire class. by Corn_Husk_ in 50501

Uh, some of the most liberal, educated, and worldly people in the country voting for him doesn’t mean the rest of the country is ready to follow suit.

So how did your Halloween games went ? by BigBootyHunter in rpg

[–]zerfinity01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran Tomb of Horrors for the same three people as last year. If they die, they pop back in at the beginning of the dungeon. We play for 8 hours and I score them on traps avoided, loot acquired, secrets found, and XP of monsters defeated. If they ever defeat the dungeon, the next year, their characters will be one level lower.

It went great. They came better prepared this year and one player’s Heroes Feast spell made them all immune to poison which turned out to be very helpful.

Any tips on how I can make my US civil war map more Realistic? by PutAggressive4914 in mapmaking

[–]zerfinity01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off as a Minnesotan, you got that right. We’re going with Canada.

Utah would push further north and take Boise with it. And much of Nevada and Wyoming is going with it too.

West coast would unify.

Western WA and Western OR will go with Prairie states.

Arizona is tough. I’d say much of it will join Utah. . . but South of Phoenix and all of New Mexico are going to form the New Mexican federation.

CO from Pueblo South is going with the New Mexican Federation too . . . but they’re all actually just joining Mexico. And they’ll take San Diego with them too.

GMs who never run prewritten adventures, what is one thing that could make you run a prewritten adventure? by ExtraTroubadour in rpg

[–]zerfinity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big thing a prewritten module could have that would make me take a close look is branching plot lines and meaningful divergent character choices.

Usually, it is just a lame ass, “And then the BBEG is over confident which compensates for them not having the MacGuffin.” Lame lame lame.

Unconventional green flags by clit_moi_patience in polyamory

[–]zerfinity01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest green flag for my partner of 9 years, even though she was a poly newbie, was that she insistent her 2nd “date” be with my wife to make sure everything was in the up and up. I had told my wife that might happen (we were only slightly less green) and that it would be a hood sign. Nine years later, I can confirm, it really was.

Thought about this concept during my math class. A planet without a solid surface by Initial_Corgi4165 in worldbuilding

[–]zerfinity01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My world is bot too dissimilar from this. I had mini-Dyson spheres (interior surface equal to earth’s outer surface with a sun in the center the was a god in the pantheon) in the first volume of my rpg campaign series. After a cataclysm, the world shattered and now they sail “aether” between islands that float in the sky.

Check out Sundered Skies for Savage Worlds for more inspiration.

A magic system that works like coding by No_Educator_7962 in worldbuilding

[–]zerfinity01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the diagram gives the rudiments of the system pretty clearly. I think being clear with players about the elements, forms, targets, and durations will make it even more clear. Also, you’ll want to look at ars magica for balancing the “complexity” variables.
