Yeah, I'm surprised with the McLaren performance this race. They've dealt with Mercedes so well.

My man had a train run on him, that pass from Checo was beautiful though.

About to unseat Checo as minister of defense.

If this works out and Norris holds for the last few laps from Hamilton, oh my god.

I play Blizzard's MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, every now and then.

Similar to most others, the community can be toxic as fuck, but the "vs AI" mode is fun enough to keep me coming back.

That freedom is exactly what I like about ttrpgs too. How do you do it solo?

I always say it's not ripping off, it's an homage! I love pulling inspiration out of other media.

Have you used any supplementals? I've dug through most of Mandymods stuff (shout-out to her) but haven't looked at Dragnacarta or the interactive Tome yet.

So rewarding when they engage with it like that! I've been trying to plant foreshadowy bits so they have a few "oh damn" moments coming up.

I'm much better at tweaking preexisting things than coming up with my own off the bat, so I havent tried a fully homebrewed setting, but I've played in two now with another group. Taking the bones of a module and fleshing it out is pretty satisfying though, have you looked into any to run?

 

I've started running Curse of Strahd and have been having a ton of fun making wacky homebrew things for my party and tweaking the module. Unbeknownst to the players so far, I have made them all a secret Dark Power trying to use them to usurp Strahd and Vampyr, and they're just waiting to offer their dark gift.

For example, I have a druid with some fire giant ancestry who loves Produce Flame and is their front line, so he'll be offered a slightly weaker Rage with the Path of the Storm Herald desert feature to use once per long rest. The celestial warlock would get charges to boost his Eldritch Blast damage and some secondary healing in exchange for sapping his life.

Giving my players powerful upgrades alongside typical class advancement can make some encounters harder to balance around, but as long as we're all having fun who cares about balance??

Absolutely, the whole movie felt like that which was a big part of it's charm. Watching the first scene I could imagine the players asking the arrakoan chancellor's name, which the DM hadn't prepped, so he just made up Jarnathan on the spot..
