An orphanage is very much a last ditch effort because of the circumstances around the child coupled with my warlock's history. Long story short: kid has a supernatural history and people I don't trust are paying too much attention to her. Warlock was an orphan and was raised very, very poorly.

Thanks! Those look great for random things that don't get used often on a mat, such as townsfolk etc. Interesting. I don't have any of the pre-made adventures. I wonder if they're leading up to something.

I think we've had a druid in the last 2-3 campaigns I've been in, otherwise I'd agree completely. They're mostly there for wild shape options rather than enemies. Good call! Another person in our group has a bunch of the cardboard standups. We can use those when needed. I've got a few I pulled...

I'm buying a chunk of minis and am wondering what people see as essential monsters to have at least one or more miniatures for. What do you consider essential? What do you see in a fair number of campaigns? Definitely : The various humanoid types, bandits, maybe some important townsfolk such as...

Thanks, all! https://www.auggiesgamestore.com/ has a ton of stuff which is easy to search and buy piecemeal. Now to figure out which ones to get. :) work gave me a $200 gift certificate for 10 years so I've got money to burn. :D

I'm nowhere near Toronto. Unless you consider Texas within your driving distance. ;)

Definitely. It's a city adventure with more social stuff than combat so less dangerous. That said, my character was taken in as a child and raised to be an assassin / spy (think shows like Nikita, Red Sparrow, etc.). She's insanely protective of children and this particular baby has a history...

Step one seems fairly easy. Steps 2 and 3 not so much. :D

My warlock in our current Eberron campaign has adopted a baby. She has a baby carriage that moves via Tenser's Floating Disk. It's basically the floating carriage from The Mandalorian except bigger so my imp familiar can hang out inside to entertain and protect her. I'm trying to think up ideas...

I've got a bunch of WizKids minis from the various sets and like them. My only issue is the randomness. Is there a source for decent quality pre-painted plastic minis where I get a bit more choice? I'd like to collect an assortment of random humanoids since those get used a lot more than...

Hoping for advice: I'm looking at the next leg of our campaign being a "race for the MacGuffin" scenario. The PCs (Rolemaster) have been chasing an evil sorceress for a while now. I want to let them catch up but put them in a position where they can't actually kill her. I'm thinking she's...

The one I'm most proud of was a crumble vellum diary in a D&D campaign. An NPC traveling with the group had been with them for years but was actually a polymorphed dragon they'd screwed over long ago. and by "screwed over" I mean "tortured and sold to an evil wizard for experiments." Due to...

Thanks! I'll try and figure out a way to port it to Scion. I really like it and it would relieve me of the need to say, "well... you DO have epic Intelligence, so it's possible you brought that..." and then not know how to handle it in other situations.

I used to lull my granddaughter to sleep talking about trigonometry. 😂 Though inwraopen it in Native American myth before getting into the actual math.

Very interested in this. How does it work? Maybe I can port it to other games.

Stunts from Exalted and Scion (plus, probably, several other games I've never played). Basically the rule is if you say more than just "I attack" then you get a bonus. The better your description, the better the bonus. Also from those two games (and lots of others): limited player control over...

You beat me to it!

We have a necromancer in the story I'm running. She took 25 skeletons as a background and a way to summon them. Question: how do you handle this in game? No way we're rolling that many dice per round.

Thanks! I'm definitely looking for more general things. I've got what I think I need for thematic stuff.
