Tonight we play!! in c/rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

For DnD, I normally aim for six players, and I run if there's at least four present.

Knowing that the game will go on anyway without you is really good motivation to not flake out (I speak as someone who flakes out a bunch.) - and DnD is a very easy game to just have someone be not present for a week.

One time I built an arena out of kinetic sand, with shaped obstacles and dunes and stuff, then scraped a grid into it for battle. I built some working pit-traps into the sand itself that only collapsed with enough weight was placed on them, and I glued small weights to the bottom of the player minis to trigger the traps, while using light plastic kobold minis for the monsters, which did not trigger them.

The next week my girlfriend responded by running her game with a functioning sewer system with variable water levels.

This is very much a non-canon Konsi. Konsi would be a fuzzy/happy/sleepy drunk, rather than a grumpy drunk. Once she gets tipsy she just wants to snuggle.

Also, she's immune to all poisons.

This is how every party healer feels inside.

Yeah, it's ambiguous. I interpret the "you can be one foot taller or shorter" to mean you, and something like a hat or ridiculous hair can just be as large as you like so long as it still looks like an item of clothing and not (say) a billboard.

Of course, at very large sizes, something's going to clip into the illusion every now and then, so it'll obviously be an illusion to anyone who is around it for more than a few minutes. I'm imagining small birds trying to land on it and faceplanting into your head.

I suppose y'all can have a bonus Konsi, as a treat.

You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear heavier or lighter. You must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs as you have. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

Okay, it should be working reasonably now, hopefully what we've done will be robust enough to take us to the server move.

We've been having server issues for a while, I know. The main culprit has been a massive increase in scraper bots that effectively serve as a DDOS on my site. Long term they should be solved by the upcoming server migration that's coming, but that's a long and slow process.

I think I have a stopgap solution this week that should get it up and working well... it's not cheap but I'm willing to put some money into making sure people can read the comics.

That depends how much experience you have, it's mini for some people.

Zero consideration given to the possibility that Konsi realized this herself and said it deliberately.

Prove you're not a Warforged (ttrpg.network)
 

Both of the guards have a handle. If the guard that always lies pulls his handle, then the minecart will divert to the second track. If both guards pull their handle, the prisoners will be released. One of the handles is covered by a wooden box, where half of the wooden planks of the original box have been replaced by new ones cut from a tree that fell when nobody was around. If guard A is taller than guard B, are we getting paid for this quest?

Why would Konsi play with such a handicap?

  1. Growing up as a street urchin, she never really had access to lots of clothes. When not wearing armour, or dressing up for an event, she’s still most comfortable wearing just a simple robe.

  2. She’s trying to practice keeping her cool under pressure, and that’s not effective if you have a lot of safety.
