  • Token help?

    Jump

  • I use this site to turn things into tokens - https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/

    It takes whatever image you plop into it, so at that point you can turn anything you want into a token. As far as what to make the images with, I'm not entirely sure, since the ask is kinda vague. What are you looking for in the tokens?

  • What real-world applicable lessons have you learned from TTRPGs?

    Jump

  • As a DM, thinking on your toes has been invaluable. The ability to come up with ideas, explanations, and more on the fly has helped a lot at work in meetings when unexpected things come up.

  • Golems for Paladins?

    Jump

  • Ice/crystal golems. Crystal structures are very regular/organized and I would argue quite lawful.

  • Dungeons & Dragons Shifts to Franchise Model, Dan Ayoub Named as Head

    Jump

  • Yeah, no idea. And the statement is pretty just a bunch of marketing speaking and no real plans. So we'll see, I guess

  • Is miniature acrylic paint different from regular acrylic paint? And other paint Q's

    Jump

  • since youve mostly gotten your answers on the basic questions, i will add some other information here for you as FYI. If you're wondering, you can use regular old acrylic hobby paints for miniatures. It's going to take some extra work and a lot of mixing to get it the right consistency and will be a learning curve there.

    If you're wondering if it's worth the money to spend on mini paints, that's going to be entirely up to your preference. Mini paints can be quite pricey vs regular old craft store paints. I would maybe suggest dabbling with regular paints and getting some thinner medium and see if mixing them works out well for you. If you find it too annoying/frustrating/not worth your time then get mini paints. Mini paints can basically be used right out of the bottle.

  • Commons Side Effexts

    Jump

  • So my immediate thought given this context would be to make the new strain/miracle drug/whatever be something that combats the existing evil virus as a counteragent. So it would provide some amount of resistance/immunity to it, but i like the idea of a (probably unknown) drawback. Something like cordyceps maybe that slowly takes over and/or controls the person like you mentioned.

    This could easily be told to the players through the NPC you mentioned who has control of the new strain/drug; he can slowly become more erratic/out of control, and his actions can start to get more suspect (along with any potential physical signs).

    So basic idea for a campaign would be:

    • Players run into NPC that has new miracle drug that provides resistance/immunity to super evil virus
    • NPC is being hunted by the AI because of it
    • Players try to protect and help NPC get to somewhere safe to begin process of creating/manufacturing/growing new drug at scale (current supply must be protected because it's so low, so player's can't have any, but they know the NPC has tried it on himself)
    • Over their time with the NPC, his motivation and actions begin to turn more sinister as the effects of the drug set in
    • Player's need to eventually make a choice as to if the current situation with the virus or the new threat from the miracle drug is the lesser evil.

  • Commons Side Effexts

    Jump

  • What, exactly are you trying to replicate from the show? The miraculous super drug the powers-that-be despise? The plot premise of running from the authorities with a secret? The main character himself? All of it? Something else? Depending on what aspects you like, you can do different things for your game (fyi I know little about EP specifically, but translating plot into games can be universal).

  • Thoughts on Counterspell rework

    Jump

  • well, to be fair, almost no one used counterspells back then because of the many failure points, clunkiness, and the high chance of it being a complete waste of your turn. Better to just cast your own fireball first.

  • Thoughts on Counterspell rework

    Jump

  • Thats pretty similar to what 3e (and iirc older) counterspell did. You had to cast the same spell in reverse to counter a spell. So to counter spell a fireball, you had to have a fireball prepared and "counterspell cast" your fireball. That said, there was some action economy problems in 3e that made it not worth it (you had to use an action to 'ready' a counterspell on a specific target, when the target cast a spell, you had to roll to identify the spell, and if they cast a spell you didnt know or have prepared, you were out of luck)

  • That's barely a threat

  • NPC Stat Blocks for Spellcasters?

    Jump

  • for what its worth, the new (2024/2025) monster manual supposedly has spellcasting monsters with more "magical" actions built in. While they do still have a list of spells, they have more built in tailored "magic action" type things they would be using instead of spell casting in most scenarios, like having a "magic bolt" type attack for a mage or something. We don't exactly know how extensive this is yet, since we've only seen previews so far, but it could make running spellcasting creatures a bit easier.

  • I got an old game working through WINE that wouldn't work through Windows' compatibility mode

    Jump

  • windows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a "easy installer" for it.
