One time I was just trying to do my money laundering restocking in GTA:O (iirc it was money laundering, it was whatever business you got when the game went free on epic games) and a guy on the flying motorbike killed me for no reason and it wasted a ton of time, eventually I killed him back and he spawned in the desert in front of me so I spawn killed him until he apologized.

I’m not saying what I did was right, I did it in the heat of the moment. But man, that game is really good at making you mad at people.

Also be careful of the shield spike, the dwarf in the diagram would have just stabbed himself

On the off chance that happens I’d probably give them one of the beast traits, probably one of the ones that’s less useful like keen smell or web sense

This is a really good idea, I might make their laws very simplistic. I might even steal the ones from Animal Farm.

In my mind the mongrelfolk definitely won’t be inherently evil. Paranoid or scared of outsiders, definitely. But they should have near-human intelligence, but slightly diminished.

Professor Moreau to me is the evil one but purely because he doesn’t hold much regard for the lives of the people he has experimented on, especially in a world with polymorph magic and Druidic wildshape. Though Moreau will be helpful to the players and give them no good reason to kill him, since they’re his chance to regain control of his lab.

I’ve been going back and forth on if Moreau will want the mongrelfolk dead, since they’d hold more scientific value to him kept alive.

I’ve not seen either of those but a quick search shows me that’s 51 episodes of one series, 64 of another and a movie. That might be a little bit too much for the amount of prep time I have

That’s almost 100 whole sessions. It’s honestly too long of you ask me.

I’m using flee mortals for my current campaign wherever possible, I have a werewolf quest planned, which isn’t in FM. Though I might pivot to a basilisk hunt.

Their plan is twofold, firstly they are in service to a lich tried to take over the multiverse and got Strahd’d into a domain of dread and wants out. They sacrifice souls to him. Secondly, they’re necromancers and are trying to create an army of undead for him to lead when he gets back to the material plane. The players aren’t aware of this yet but I’m trying to put that information in front of them

Just don’t do that lol, let them do wacky hijinks, or play a system without the wacky hijinks

My wife plays a tempest cleric in my 5e game, every single outdoor battle starts with her asking about the weather, then upcasting call lightning, using her channel divinity to max out the damage and just melting everything in sight

There’s a ton of really useful stuff on this page and some links that are worth a read, especially Monte Cooks’ consent in gaming pdf

You should try the item piles module for foundry if you haven’t checked it out yet, it shows you in the chat if they’re taking items and gold and you don’t have to finagle around with manually giving them items

I don’t want to make a “lifetime commitment” to a game, I’ve already tried that with my ex-wife.

You could probably also throw the fallout ttrpg in there since it has branding of the video game series behind it

Im considering offering +1 crit range as well.

Champion fighters in shambles right now

He should look into starting a religion, you can get a solid few thousand years of people talking about you if it does well.

99% of the time, PCs abilities aren’t your concern, all you need to worry about is knowing if it sounds like they something they might be able to do. Worst case scenario just ask them to read the ability description.

It has intelligence right there in the name, it has to be smart.
