Big TTRPG fan, especially on Foundry VTT, as the only local games are with literal sheep.

Eat the Reich had great art as well, loads of talented folks out there - not me, but other folks, haha.

I backed this so fast my mouse got whiplash.

Makes sense, I love that game as well, and the art adds to that so well. Thanks for the info.

I use Maze Rats as an introduction to ttrpgs for flexibility and simplicity. I make a city map with areas, then I get them to name/describe a zone each - they invest more. Randomly roll characters, then ask why they are looking for work, this usually creates an antagonist or goal.

There's a double Hydra fight in Abomination Vaults that my players got wrecked on, but ultimately prevailed. They loved it. The switch in fortune, when they figured things out, was a real epic moment. I love the more complex monsters for that reason.

Mine is caused by my wife using the Owl to learn German, not a friendly language when angrily yelled in a Scottish accent because it doesn't understand her.

50 Shades of Green - Your patchwork of warts, scars, and scabs produce a mottled colouration that gives +1 to stealth.

Be careful, that is a dark path - once you taste the forbidden "Free Archetype" fruit it is hard to go back. An idea for duels would be to go less rules, take a simple narrative approach, and use a D6 for degrees of success? Make it a more cinematic experience.

Yeah, middle is my preference. Colour block is too heavy, empty walls are deceptive, hatching is easier on the eyes.

It's great, except the part where I'm slowly having to make a wine economy for the game, haha. The group recently saved Nick Claws (Santa) from a Bugbear raid, and he was gifted a wine-stopper that magically preserves whatever it corks. So he can make those bottles last a bit longer.

I have a player whose character grew up in a wine-making town. He buys the wine from his home town when he finds it, and gifts bottles to important people hoping to make it famous. He recently wrote home to ask them to send cuttings so he can start his own vineyard.

The changes cause a mudslide, a nearby slope has the face opened up as trees slip away, and the earth beneath fills the valley below. What is revealed is the side of a bunker, rooms and corridors with no windows. Can you find the entrance? What lies inside?

Trevor Gumble, the old man who tends this place, looks up at his most prized plant in horror. The giant bonsai he fashioned into his name aeons ago has been destroyed, burned by some unknown hooligan. He takes up his rake, and his secateurs, before angrily pulling on his wellington boots.

Basic food of the common folk, the sour apple addition was started by an innkeeper on a particular trade route, and spread via his customers.

Supplies are thin, but a leek tart could be found in a larger town. No Redwall, but there is a Slarn, Midslarn, Lower Slarn, Upper Slarn, High Slarn etc... scattered through the kingdom. All named for the same guy who got around a bit.

Turnip stew, with sour apples added when it's almost done. Times are tough, and apples are a treat.

Exactly, but an Elephant is 200gp exactly.

That rule is one I use across systems, not 5e specific.

The only one I use consistently is to reroll damage 1's on a critical hit. Some games have rules already, some don't have crits, but a lot do.

Pricing is one that frustrates me so much, I'm new-ish to the game, give me a rough idea of what this thing is worth, please.

Despite being many years old, I only started playing TTRPGs in the last few years, took two years before I tried DnD, and it's OK. I think playing lots of systems gives me a bit of a toolbox, I can pick the right one for my group, and my story.

Can't really say no to that recommendation, haha. Thanks.

This has been kicking about my to-do list for a while. Maybe over Xmas I should just do it.

I'll help fund the research.

I'm just glad they didn't try and adopt it, 5 players, counting pets and familiars, they total 9. It's a zoo.

Players steamroll a major fight in 10 minutes, so now my session is short planned material, then they spend over an hour playing hide and seek with a troll who wanted his ferry fixed.

My players were so cautious approaching a squad of Grothluts until the fight began, and they realised they were many levels higher than when one of them kicked their arses. They loved the revenge slaughter, haha.

I love a map, even in RP scenes, letting the players move around adds another layer. Who is with who as they take seats, explore areas, or simply go to the bar to order drinks. Who can see the guy in the corner smoking a pipe, hood in place, as he watches them carefully.

You had you go in a cupboard. There was an access panel halfway up the wall, and you could climb through. I had keys and was curious, so I went alone and explored. Fortunately, I don't live in a Cthulhu game, so I lived.

I used to work in one of the old buildings, down an alley, near the castle. There was a level below us that was abandoned, had a kids nursery that looked evacuated, we're talking coats, toys, plates, cups all sitting out like the kids were still playing. There was an access panel to the lost streets

My wife sticks to recipes religiously, as she's a beginner cook, in time she will learn to measure garlic with her heart - and a hatred of vampires.

Well, now am I thinking about it, and I guess hammers, flails, and more fall into that category. Time to make all the handles metal to stop the definition sticklers.
