I have one large playlist busted into sections. Actual film soundtracks sprinkled around lighter ambient electronic, castlevania stuff in the middle and getting progressively louder and spacier. The idea was to avoid lyrics and also the oft heard kick/snare “unn-tiss”. It’s a tribute to The Perfect Spotify. Please enjoy.
RE Battlemaps: strongly opposed to allowing them. Lemmy.world already has a battlemaps community. Ttrpg.network is welcome to make such a community too, I suppose. That content works for many more ttrpgs than dnd, so putting it in its own space makes more sense than allowing it in here.
RE artwork, if someone wants to post a hand-drawn scene of their group's epic win/loss against the bbeg, that's cool. I think we like seeing dnd success stories from folks, and a picture can be worth a thousand words. But, if that person is open for commissions, I would strongly prefer not to know about it.
IMO advertising needs to be segregated to opt-in communities kept exclusively for that purpose, much like LFG posts get their own space to mot pollute the general discussion.
(Similarly, links out to other sites that have comment sections, like youtube, should IMO be required to have actual supporting text content worthy of discussion, as without it they are just more advertising. That's outside the scope of the original discussion tho.)
Edit: RE homebrew--IMO it too should be sequestered, as it represents a divergence from everyone else's frame of reference.
Fine points on everything (minus links), but frankly, until people start actually posting content here, I would rather not splinter the community into more tiny communities. There are nearly 5000 users subscribed to this community, and yet every day 90% of the posts come from me be it news, official art, comics, etc.
Until the lurkers become posters, what’s the point of sequestering anything at all, If a member of !battlemaps posts something here, its 1 post out of 50 for the week.
We must drive more posting and sharing before we even consider breaking things out into their own communities, otherwise this community will be nothing but winging and whining about Hasbro/WoTC, 1 line questions with 1 line answers, etc.
Hopefully you understand what I am getting at here.
Oh, certainly! But then, I would avoid coming up with a policy at all until the amount of content reaches critical mass. If you're not ready for whatever will be the right policy, why bother enacting one that you know you'll have to walk back or ammend later?
Would things like watermarks be considered as “usable and not excessively downgraded state”? I don’t create any OC and am new to the hobby, but that at least seems like a half-decent way for artists to have their stuff available but not in “perfect” condition.
Seems perfectly allowable to me, what we mean by downgraded is someone posting a battlemap in absolute dog shit resolution, just to be able to post a link to their paid version at full quality. To me that would just be a trash post and shouldn’t be here.
Personally I despised the amount of character artist advertising that goes on on Reddit’s DnD community. In absence of any way of filtering such things out of my feed on Lemmy, I’ll likely just unsub from any community where that sort of thing becomes the norm.
Personally I don’t see it as a problem when someone posts some art they did (commissioned or otherwise) that has D&D relevance, and in the body of the post mentions “I am taking commissions, DM me for details” or whatever. However, it becomes a problem when they’re posting everything they make, and it’s clear the intention is to fish for sales, not to show off some neat, topical art. It’s very hard to draw up hard and fast rules for this, and I think everyone would have a different idea of what’s ‘too much’.
I think the rules laid out in #1 are pretty straight forward, no spamming the comments, no replying to every comment with your link. Just a single link in the body content of your post. I would expect any DM spamming to also be reported as that’s just rude.
Frankly I just am not interested in people’s character art. To me that is very distantly related to ttrpgs. I join a community like this to discuss what people are actually doing in their games, not to see a bunch of drawings.
Mostly correct, but note that your high jump distance is also halved if you don’t move at least 10 ft first. So in your 8 STR high jump example it would be 2 ft if you move 10 ft first, or only 1 ft otherwise.
Thank you so much! I haven’t yet encountered jumping, but I am running a small one shot for my 9yo son and his friend and I wanted to add in some obstacles that used something I haven’t done yet.
Realistically, the real power from conjure animals comes from the "summon a horde of beasts" aspect of it. Without that, most choices are going to be pretty underwhelming. If you're looking to avoid the "swarm" aspect of it, I'd probably just go with single cr2 creatures, like giant crayfish, polar bear, or giant elk
Bears, wolves/direwolves, giant eagles, hell the druid in the game I run summoned an auroch and rode it into combat once. I limit it to beasts the player has encountered personally or would reasonably know enough about their anatomy to summon, and then just limit what I expose them to.
As far as preventing cheesing with 8x small beasts and turning the battlefield into chaos? I recommend enemies with AOE attacks to clear the field.
