  • 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

  • Anon is a game dev

    Jump

  • Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.

  • That's the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.

  • 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.

  • I played Land of Eem Saturday!

    Jump

  • i've never played it; How does the system work? is it a traditional d20-like system or something else?

  • heads up - Pict-rs downtime tomorrow morning (5/8/2025)

    Jump

  • This upgrade is now completed

  • Spellbook Cards?

    Jump

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • yeah, the pict-rs service needed to be restarted it looks like. That just happened a few moments ago, and i think things are looking good from my side.

    at the end of the day, the issue is the pict-rs service (which is separate from lemmy) isnt...the greatest.

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • i did a little testing after i noticed that local communities had the missing image placeholder; It looks like i was unable to upload any images, so i opened a ticket with the host; I would presume the pict-rs service is having issues again.

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • I'm not seeing any issues....Can you try clearing your browser cache, or maybe open in an incognito tab?

    What problems are you seeing? the same missing image thumbnail?

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • is it? it currently looks fine to me. maybe it was just a blip? are you still seeing issues?

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Yeah, looks like it got all jacked up when I posted it from my app. Gonna fix it

  • OneD&D playtest packet 8 - Barbarian, Druid, and Monk

    Jump

  • Sure thing, done

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • Yeah, maybe there were some federation issues or something with a particular instance or two. I think Lemmy reaches out on demand to cache the thumbnail the first time it's requested, but posts get federated over independently.

    So if no one has viewed a post in the UI that's been federated over, and the instance and ours developed communication issues between then, it's possible that it fails to grab the thumbnail when someone is browsing in the UI

  • Issues uploading/loading images

    Jump

  • I'm not seeing that, I appear to see thumbnails and previews. Is this still happening for you? It could be having issues with specific instances if there's federation issues

  • Your DnD Party is Too Big [the maths of scheduling]

    Jump

  • Yeah, we have a set day and time, and will only reconsider if 2+ people are missing

  • 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.
