5 person Level 5 party.
>>97353633If you want to make it less deadly have some of the enemies enter a round or two later or the mimic not do anything until it’s “triggered”
>>97354073Or have the encounter begin with the Mimics already in combat with the Undead. If the party start off very well, everyone remaining goes against them instead; if they perform poorly then they have Mimic ally until all the dead are down.
Stuff like this is super dependent on terrain and party makeup, this could potentially be a cakewalk if all the melee-only undead get mulched by something like Spiked Growth and there's just a ghost left to get focus fired with ranged attacks, or it could be instant TPK if they get surrounded indoors and somebody's unluckily paralyzed by a ghoul right off the bat. If the party has full prep time and knowledge of what they're facing and can set the battlefield, even at level 5 this is manageable. If you're just marching into a haunted house or dungeon they're probably losing at least one character.
Why is the ghost a generic combatant? Ghosts used to be something special, you encountered one and maybe it knew it was a ghost, maybe it didn't. We encountered one once that was a looping messenger whom died before he delivered his message centuries ago, and putting him to rest was a fun challenge. Make it something interesting, the ghost of a long dead adventurer seeking his missing party, a noble bound to a family heirloon worn by one of the zombies or dropped in the dungeon at some point, the ghost of a priestess unable to find rest as her corpse lies on cursed ground...Don't make it a combat encounter, use your brain.

>>97354327Grok's been giving me some pretty good results, at least. I can use the same general prompt format and get wildly different results with one or two word changes. I tried Gemini and it kept giving me essentially the same image over and over with very minute changes like weapons and armor.The same 5 soldiers, same pose, same canyon, same camera angle, same style. Just different armor or weapons or grass patches or clouds.

>>97354074No
>>97354074I'm not going to tell you whether or not you should or shouldn't. I'm just gonna tell you what you *should* do if you *do* decide to try getting into it.>Find someone to teach you how to play the gameAnd I don't mean the basic summoning mechanics because that's just shit you can learn in under an hour. I mean someone that is willing to teach you how to read PSCT (the formatting of the card text, and yes there ARE keywords in this game), how Priority(IMPORTANT) and Timing(Learn Priority first) works, and how some of the more nitty-gritty stuff like the Damage Step works.>Watch real games playing outTHIS IS A BIG ONE THAT NEW PLAYERS DON'T DO. They will try to get into the game by throwing themselves at the damn wolves, while they're still learning, instead of seeing how it actually plays out beforehand. Master Duel (their official digital client) is really good for this since the animations give you time to parse things as they're happening, but YCS tournament feature matches (don't look up YCS Bologna 2025) also work.>Consider GenesysIt's a throttled version of Advanced format where instead of a banlist, certain cards are assigned point values that make it so you can't just shove anything into any deck. It helps wrangle the game a lot, but wrangling it and stupifying it are two very different things. Pendulum and Link Monsters are also absent in the format, but what helps new players more than anything is the point system since it means that you can't shove 5+ engines and generic goodstuff into a single deck like you can with Advanced.
>>97354074Regardless of what you do, absolutely ignore >>97354538 's advice of Genesys. Its a shitty doa format that not even the youtube grifters want to touch.
>>97354074Watch https://youtu.be/IoW1jLrGEnU?si=8fqNGaCmv_8hkDAB if you think you want to get into the game and "remember it as a kid, so it's gotta be the same thing as it was 25+ hears ago". It covers how to play in the later half of the video while the front half is history.But it sounds to me like you found where you want to be with the game which is just to enjoy the art. It's perfectly fine to be a secondary just don't be a knob about it. Don't go "uh summon bunch of monsters is le bad game, low turn le bad" if you don't want to understand the game and constantly make the same bottom of the barrel jokes like "what does pot of greed do?" from reddit and you're better than almost 99% of secondaries.If you want to collect select singles if you're into the art then just ask for advice.As a heads up, this >>97354595 is likely a "Farfa viewer". Which is a demographic of children or people who watch 20 hours of tiktok. Play whatever the hell you want.
>>97354595I said "consider", not "start with". There's a massive difference between the two. If someone's being overwhelmed by Advanced but they still like enough aspects of the game that they want to stick with it, then Genesys is a good alternative.

>>97349346God I fucking wish I could change my line of work but I’m 29 with no degree, it’s over
>>97351627The diplomacy is the interesting part (to me). Livius writes some very entertaining speeches for the various Greek factions as the Romans and Macedonians vie for their support. Then there's the naval battles, naval siege, concerns for winter quarters and all that. The actual battles are very short, the maneuvering and planning is where it's most interesting. Suits itself to a campaign game more than single battles I'll admit.Alexander and the successors have some good battles. A great one is the siege of Tyre where they built a dam to the (then) island fortress, still visible today.>>97351443> Germans defeat the soviets by... surrounding them> Canadians defeat germans by...shooting at them as they walked forward> Hitler was defeated because...their lines were biggerWW2 warfare is just endless hordes of Shootmen smashing into each other. Boring!
>>97353957I took a shitty welding education and got a decent job that pays my bills and allows me to support my mother, can't live fancy but comfortably.
>>97352674What are these radical ‘fixes’ then? I’m genuinely curious. Worst-case scenario you give us all some pointless well-worn platitudes, at best you save some lives from waste.I think referring to depression as ‘mental weakness’ is pretty reductionist too - Lincoln, Churchill, Newton, Grant all suffered from awful depression and achieved great things - and that’s before we even get into all the great contributions to the arts made by people exhibiting this ‘mental weakness’.
>>97353733Lovely stuff.
What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
>>97353837Feels like something like that would be a stronger encounter than what the "bandit" moniker usually implies. That's like throwing an enemy PC at the party.
>>97349486The bandits have their Cocks out during the fight, fully hard, but never explained. If any character interrogates them they just look confused and if push comes to shove will swallow a false tooth poison pill.
>>97349486Mounted bandits that actually use their mobility and the shock of their mounts.I had a Runequest campaign end abruptly when two Orlanthi stock-rustlers on ponies came down the road, and my players both decided to jump out in front of them; they both died instantly, as they were playing naked feral Telmori wolfmen, and had neglected to buff themselves or tranform into wolf shape.Their hacked and trampled bodies were left by the roadside.
>puckee spamming his commission againhttps://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/v9he6h/calloway_pierce_highwayman_art_by_indigo_jenar_art/https://desuarchive.org/_/search/image/oYACxsqx5QYwSnNxrb1AcQ/>43 timesIt has been speculated repeatedly that puckee has a friend on the mod team, and I understand that argument. I think the truth is more pathetic, though. The mod is mad that he's being "told what to do" and is actively allowing spamming so people correctly trying to get this idiot gone don't "win."
>>97349486I think in general bandits are commonly thought of as brutes living outside of society and robbing/raping/murdering their way through a usually meager existence. What if they're not counting on common armed robbery, but instead have more of a black market vibe going on? And when you meet them, they're not doing anything to harm you but trying to get through with whatever illicit goods they're transporting. Like some abducted young females and / or illegal reagents/magic stuff/weapons.The party would be challenged to notice what is happening, and then be challenged to decide what course of action to take. Perhaps they keep their heads down and avoid conflict, or they demand a bribe. Or they attack then and there (make sure the bandits form a visibly possibly deadly encounter). They might also follow the bandits back and try to free the captives silently... Or become the ambushing party and see if they can kill some bandits in their sleep. Another option is to have two groups be mid-combat, and both claim the others to be bandits. What group will they help out and "kingmake"? Or will they just let the combat run its course? Will they "third party" the whole lot and take all the loot? Or will they pacify the fight and try to get them to leave each other alone, thereby becoming part of the issue of whose goods are these anyway. You might sprinkle some evidence to the truth around the scene for players who wish to engage in that route or just keep it a coin toss.Third option is the bandits are con artists of some type and will try to swindle the party. Snake oil, soothsaying or acting like victims and pickpocketing. Or they might send the party out to a nearby dungeon and hope to loot the corpses after the inevitable failure.Fourth option is that bandits prefer soft targets, and adventuring parties are not such targets. So they try to get away. Up to the party to decide if they give chase or leave it.
Besides Shadowdark, are there any other TTRPGs that have playable goblins?
>>97341430Funny how that guy who insists goblins must be ugly is nowhere to be found.
>>97351756That's what I like about cartooning. You can make stuff as cute or as ugly as you like. A lot of my male goblin faces tend to look the same, but there's no reason you can't give them more rounded faces or stubbier noses for a little variety.
