I’ve had feedback from my #pf2e players that they don’t feel powerful enough at level 5. It occurs to me that this is because I’ve been putting them up against severe threats for a while. Time to gen a bunch of trivial encounters. Let’s make them feel bad-ass.

Therefore Dnd players be sure,
Wealth and levels possessing…

A quick check on my time line tells me that today is my one year anniversary of posting for the first time to Bluesky. So happy anniversary to me I guess.

My Christmas themed #pf2e adventure continues tonight. The goal is for the players to arrive in tinsel brook, meet their contact, fight some gingerbread golems and have a sleigh ride chase scene. Knowing my players they may well achieve any one of these things.

For the first time ever, it’s a fake tree. I’m sure I’ll get used to it, it’s very high quality. I just miss the pine and resin smell.

It’s research, ok? For my #pf2e campaign. Need a Christmas themed session.

What? It is too!

A few weeks ago my players went to a carnival and I wanted to do a deck of many things stand. Problem is, it's super powerful and on occasion game breaking. So I fixed it. Below find the draws I used for the "Deck of Merry Things". Feel free to pilfer. These were for #PF2e but easily used for #DnD

Happy #doctorwho day.

Remember. “Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.”

Well my two weeks vacation time is almost up. I have used it to successfully move into my own home. I’d say I need a holiday from my holiday but I really can’t afford a holiday now. My credit card whimpers when I get it out. Still at least next month should be cheap… oh wait. Christmas. 🤪

I love you @paizo.com but could you please make your sales and order portal a little easier? Doesn’t work in chrome and is a kerfaffle on tablets. I’ve had to put in a ticket today as my digital order seems to be trying to send a physical copy too and won’t complete so I can’t download it. 😢

Well dang that came on fast!

What’s that you say? Over 300 new monster entries? Don’t mind me, I’m just looking for my credit card.

On the plus side, new gaming table.

Growing up is being immensely proud at cleaning a second hand air fryer to the point you’d feel brave enough to use it. Gods being a grown up is boring.

Quick question for my fellow #phasmaphobia players. Does this count as UV evidence coz it’s raining and it’s not my hand print 😝

A plan 10 years in the making concludes phase 1 today. I finally am on the property market.

I have been rotten ill this weekend and missed out on most of my Halloween plans. I’m now feeling a little better and dragging my carcass to seaton delavel hall this evening for their ghost tour before I start getting ready for Christmas.

Happy Gothmas everyone.

My players finally made it to the jinkies hotel in #pf2e last night. This has been the most prep I’ve ever put into a single map in #foundry vtt. It’s got automated visual and audio stings, teleportation squares, area specific effects and more.

Now to write the plot. 😉

I always like how much you can do with #foundry with a little effort. Just learned how to do token image changes based on conditions so that my #pf2e players werecat shifts to the appropriate form on demand.

This video had all the info (not mine)

Looking to pad a library in my spooky hotel for #pf2e. Here’s some examples of what I’ve got so far. Any suggestions?
