Currently thinking of using boiled wool. It seems the best overall. Thanks for pointing me towards it!

fantastic. In case I want to use a cloak pin, would the waterproofing be completely ruined if I stuck a pin through it?

@Peppycito Since this is for a ruana cloak (which may result in me deciding to use a cloak pin) would the waterproofing be ruined if I stuck a pin through it

one little problem that I just realized is that since this is for a ruana cloak, I may want to use a cloak pin. This would ruin pretty much every waterproofed fabric I've looked at so far. Would boiled wool still keep its water resistance after sticking a pin the thickness of a nail through it?

@PP_BOY_ That is actually what they did in mideval Europe. If memory serves (not speaking from experience btw, talking directly from anus) it adds about a pound per foot, and if you wash it with soap/detergent you gotta start all over.

Plus, the wax seeps through the fabric (according to a larper I follow on youtube) and I wanted this to be two layers like a coat; waterproof on top, fuzzy on bottomI do not feel like disassembling my cloak whenever I want to properly clean it lol

It's really not as busted as it sounds, especially since this is likely a dragon with 1d8 hit points and a 15 in its highest stat

Personally, I think the best way to nerf a Dragon PC is strict timekeeping. Each year they get slightly bigger, each week their claws grow just enough to keep them from permanently silvering their claws, etc

I'm thinking about having my pantheon be about that, sort of how in the #Silmarillon the original sin was "a talented prick made the coolest thing, but decided no one else deserved to work with them and got obsessed with protecting their intellectual property".

Melkor got pissed that he had to compromise his vision with the other Valar when making Arda, Feanor got waay too proud of his Silmarils, Sauron got litigious about his ring-lore IP, and so on. It's a really good message for a #ttrpg

But I do agree that after I have players I should implement what they like. A mistake I made last time is that I spent a year and a half going wild with my worldbuilding, filling in every single nook and cranny that normally the players would co-create with me.

🤷‍♂️I only have like three people I could currently recruit, since I only have 2 irl friends plus my fiancée. Considering that in my experience about a quarter of the people I recruit don't show up regularly and another quarter stop coming after a bit, I would prefer to recruit another 6-8 people so I can have six players.

Basically, I'm doing market research. I want my game to be minimally aggravating for my players. Right now I'm specifically focusing on one detail that I dont really get.

You could have been helpful and told me what images were there

You'd be surprised how many people don't ever think about what they like, and because they don't do self-reflection they can't tell me what they like. It's really common in nerds for some reason.
