That came across as a dis. Maybe it’s regional, but telling someone there have undesirable attributes isn’t considered polite in my geo.

I’ve always thought of TTRPGs as a long-term commitment. The idea of a short one shot that requires virtually no prep is really intriguing.

For the entire campaign Grog should be followed by some snot nose kid and a wizard who keep trying to steal the stone.

The great thing about the Internet is that it shows me other people’s experiences. My group has always happily rolled with scenarios and done whatever makes sense and feels fun.

Is it just a fun stuff for the Lol ?

Mostly this. I’m not going to use a soundboard regularly, but for something I want to emphasize and get my players attention it might be fun to use.

I was using a heartbeat effect in Roll20 during death saves and I liked it. I think my players did too.

• Fireball
• Roar of a minigun
• Silenced handgun
• Loud handgun
• Pained screaming (you need like ten of these so it doesn’t get repetitive)
• Slow thump of a heartbeat for death saves
• Thunder (for spells)
• Keys typing for netrunners/deckers
• Whine of a drone
• A couple of different phone rings for when your fixer needs to get in touch with you
• Sirens

I’m GMing Cyberpunk right now. Battlemaps are reskinned screenshots of Google Maps or floorplans of actual businesses.

I still burn tens of hours translating them into a gridded map, but still. It is sort of easier.

so that’s what happens to the other halves

… seduction

lucky guess

If that isn’t credible enough for you, a massive uniboob containing a tiny gnome sorcerer able to slay at range. Basically a lil green skinned tiddy tank.

where does the gnome go?

Hear me out: a metal 1990s Lara Croft uniboob. Hits are no longer directed to the sternum.

If that isn’t credible enough for you, make the uniboob bigger, redirecting force outward, away from the chest.

no one at Microsoft gives a single fuck about their users anymore

I don’t think they ever did.

Shadowrun is great. I’ve never looked closely at the rules, but I’ve always enjoyed the lore and the setting. My players don’t want to mix magic and technology, so SR is off the table.

Part of me wants to trigger the Awakening as part of our RED campaign, but then I’d have to port the rules for magic, and I’d be a jerk for making my players play Shadowrun.

For the “do the locusts consent?” question, I’m a fan of an oracle die.

I’ve been paying Cyberpunk RED recently, so I get the player to roll a d10 under their current LUCK stat. If they roll under, then they’re in luck and they get what they want.

For funsies, I’d say that succeeding indicates the locusts are a gestalt entity that is down for anything. In the context of the campaign, the party will encounter a gestalt locust swarm that wants something from the party.

Fey with benefits

Older versions of D&D used to make a bigger deal about Fireball causing fires. So I started doing the same thing in my sessions. In a flammable locale, the fireball would cause 1d6 lil fires that would spread. Combat gets more interesting when the battlefield is burning, collapsing, and filling with smoke.

That superhero? Homelander
