Wow. I didn’t know it was this easy to get an article made about you. A card and nine paperclips!

I definitely gonna have to post my spell book when I get home…

Spellbook Pictures

First iteration I simply took some small post-it’s wrote the spell slot level on it and attached them to whatever spell I used them on. This worked fine for a bunch of sessions. If the glue would lose its tack I could simply write another sticky.

Second iteration I made myself a fancy A5 sized spell book in NanDeck, slots were still tracked by post its but I fashioned little bookmark tabs that were affixed to the pages so I could pull them out to indicate the spell was prepared and push it in to for those that were not. This again worked pretty well. The tabs would get partially pushed in when the book rattled around in the storage box but it was generally not all the way. Biggest gripe was that I didn’t actually need to know which spell had which slots used on it. The post it’s were overkill in that regard.

Current iteration now has a front page with paper sliders for the number of spell slots I have. It’s prepared all the way to max level. All I’ve got to do is use scissors or an exacto knife to extend the sliders to their proper length. The preparedness of spells is also indicated by paper sliders on the respective page. I originally used bookmarks so I didn’t have to browse the whole book but I found myself doing that anyway so they didn’t serve much of a purpose. On the contrary I find it quite thematic that my cleric would rummage through his spell book to find the correct incantation for the situation.

Both second and first version had their spine punched in regular spaces with an office hole puncher and then bound with string in my player color. When I get more spells I simply have to print the additional pages and can rebind the book.

Shouldn’t be downvoted just for liking things differently.

The point is to tell an exciting story - there’s no right or wrong definition of what that means for you.

The dice’s purpose is to take you down paths you might not have chosen deliberately but the goal is still to have an exciting story. If the DM wants to be like “I recognize the dice have made a decision but given that it’s a stupid ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it” then he has my full support.

Maybe a cleaner way would be to decide up front: which outcomes am I ok with? and simply cap the roll at that. You know the paladin only has 17 HP left and you don’t want the paladin to go down so the maximum roll you want is 16. So if you have roll 4d6 damage. You do: roll 3 roll 8 roll 12 roll 18 16.

I can only speak for myself but I wouldn’t mind some ai generated pictures on my normal feed. But not the way you’re currently posting them on the other slice.

Individual images only fill up the feed without adding much to discuss. There’s not much to say beyond a “nice” in the comments. I’d much prefer it being an album with some context what you did with it.

This is something I don’t get about lemmy. Here’s a platform that really struggles to build communities that are active and alive yet everyone seems hellbent on fracturing the user base into the most specific and niche subdivisions.

I mean this is just my personal opinion but I’d much rather have one community that’s lively but includes elements I don’t particularly care for than 6 communities that each get one post a week.

Probably the bridge. DM crafted such an amazing puzzle and the paladin being a good boy learned it perfectly. Group was like: You know it’d be fun to see what the DM does if I accidentally put my foot on it.

Also the five questions. You could see that coming from MILES away but it was still hilarious.
