Words - copse

 Copse sounds like “cops”, not “copes”. 

Ill Be damned. 

Thundarr quotes vs. ThRANdarr

 Thundarr quotes, or close enough. 

ThRANdarr in place of Thundarr.

Notice how he is pretty much always yelling things or sounding like a choppier version of a superhero 1970s TV style. 

>> And quotes to use:

> And what say you, ~Wizard?~

>> Demon dogs!

The sounds of battle!

> There! The xxxxx!

> This is the ~Wizard’s~ work!

> I can’t …hold it … for long!

• Not while Thrandarr holds his steel sword!
• Lords of LIGHT!
• What?! A woman!!
• This way!
• You have but tasted Thrandarr’s fury! Soon (someone) [you] will feast on it!
• NoOOooo!
• You will die, Creature! I swear it on my life! 

OSE new stuff and a module... has some weird modern vibes I'm not digging

OSE. It is NOT B/X, well at least as I'm seeing it used by one guy. 

Another guy purposely disallows all the BS, and it actually feels like B/X, so I like that vibe a lot more. 

Not much digging the additional evil critters as player classes. 

Not much digging the new funky classes. I mean... I don't hate every one of them per say, but... I think I'd rather traditional + give magic items if you need the bump. 

Not enjoying the goofy vibes of one of the modules. I mean, parts of it are good... but it's getting too goofy for my liking. 

Playthrough of =Flooded Crypt of the Necromancer= (Spoilers) Shadowdark

Lawful Cherry One-Shots (via StartPlaying.Games website). (((Lawful Cherry is awesome, I highly recommend doing it again with him as DM))). 

Foundry Virtual Tabletop - A Self-Hosted & Modern Role-playing Platform
Did the free One Shot from the big free book of oneshots. SHOTS IN THE DARK.

***We had Four level-1 characters (above avg stats) and 7, count them, 7 luck tokens to start. My fighter went down 3 times, and we used 6 out of 7 luck tokens (rerolled to keep spells, not die one time, etc.). This was a difficult module without all the extras.***
 Was a ton of fun, but without the extras it would have been a massacre. 

=Flooded Crypt of the Necromancer=

Statue. Footprints. Entrance. A little loot early on. Weird murals all over. Angumar took an emerald (later another), dwarves can't resist. 

Spores in rotten chair in like the 2nd room, lol. Max dmg roll on the dice. 

Lotsa skeletons.

One funny skeleton, I said "intelligence, what say you skeleton?" and she jibberjabbered a ton. Then Timmy decided to nuke her, she started screaming, woke up other undead skellies. 

Wight was tough, drained a CON from Angumar. Thank god for Turn Undead.

"Victory!!" yelled my Fighter, Throndr.

Bandits and/or ppl from poor village. 

I used gem as lure under door, watched with MIRROR under door, cast sleep through crack when they got close (just she was affected). 

The lady had a bearing of a "noble" or something who had fallen. She tried to trikc us, bookshelf to the Ghost. Then she ran. 

Ghost was scary. 

Leveled up at end. Took on the ghost (scary, possession) and the Troll (wand of undead to sacrifice 4(ow! bad roll) CON to get a one time Wraith. It nuked the troll, muahaha! Lotsa loot and all that. 

RESULTS: the 6 HP fighter went down 3 times... I mean he went down immediately from spores in rotten chair in like the 2nd room, lol. Max dmg roll on the dice. 

Sidenote: Technical tricks with Foundry VTT 

• Drag select more than one (Box Select) will let you move two characters at once. Careful though, b/c you HAVE to Box Select a single guy to get back to just doing a single guy movement. 
• Something bugged out and my dice on the screen disappeared midway through, and I never got them back. It seemed to happen when I did an F11 fullscreen... not sure though. Using Chrome. Related to this "dice not showing between players" from year 2021 thing here??? 
• Or maybe this other "Dice is Nice" module issue here on reddit??

Lawful Cherry, my quick review notes on our DM/GM who we just met today:

• Perfect amount of fun/funny mixed in. He went with our flow for sure. 
• Generous but didn't hold punches, all those public rolls you know. My guy went down 3 times I think, yep. 
• Can do a few voices, nice stuff. 
• Foundry looked good. 
• Music and sound effects worked very well. I loved the opening vault door sound... very impactful.

Shadowdark magic

 Lichhouse has good arguments. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JKdrB9oTCC0&pp=2AbFAtIHCQmRCgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Wizard or priest in Shadowdark is great. 

1. Cast more at lvl 1
2. Chance to cast more (punch above weight class). Drama on table.. hi risk hi reward
3. Advantage on casting is great
4. Lu kntoken from Any player to help the big critical cast. 
5. Crits.
6. Always take Magic missile as wiz. Ncuz adv auto. 
7. Scroll if higher level, ok, if learn u can still cast it (v DM dependent). 
8. One spell at a time. So not like 5e concentration. 
9. Focus a few rnds, eventually it wont make a roll (not gone tho bcuz originally u passed). Now u can cast again. 
10. Dmg spells r muxh less dmg. Everything is less dmg… in theory (I think i've found power creep already... at first they say all weapons do 1d6, but now I'm seeing 1d12 great sword and stuff so... yeah).
