funded Reaper Bones 5: Enthusiasm and Commentary thread

[Pochi]

I immediately threw another $50 at them for the Greek expansion. I figured I would like it but I didn't expect them to come out of the gate so BIG! I can't wait to see the next 2 parts!

Write a two-page essay on "What I did on my summer vacation". But then I've always been kind of a killer GM.

Being mean to kids is easy!

 

Kid hits 0 HP.... and they wake up out of Dreamland and must wait until the next night to rejoin their friends. Make anyone who does this complete a page of multiplication problems, copy a page our of a book, and read a Wikipedia science page. When “school” is done, then they can go back to sleep. 

 

But NO WIKIPEDIA! They'll get to college and I have to break them of it! Can't use Wikipedia on college essays!

 

Okay, you can learn a heck of a lot but it isn't "reliable".

 

Note: I'm procrastinating on grading awful papers by being on this forum. The papers don't even need to be two pages long and yet they're still painful to grade.

 

Perhaps I could be mean to these "kids". Write better or I throw my magnetite d8 at you!

 

The kids can also be halflings I suppose. Good for either purpose!

To me it's a must ^^

As a completist, if I can finally have all the chromatic dragons on a cohesive style/size, I also want all the giant species... and with storm giants we will only need Cloud ones to have the full set. 

And it will be at least two, since I'm sure it's gonna be a couple, a female storm giant too. With this things is not as much as "Will I use it" as "oh, it looks gorgeous to have all the different types and species" :D

I really like Giants and other large scale things myself. I'm not actually playing/running anything right now, sop all my decisions are based on "Do I wanna paint that?"

 Throwing risks shoulder injury. Much better and more educational to use a desktop catapult or trebuchet.

That female statue is just begging for a fire effect in that brazier she's holding.

Unrelated to the KS, but, from your comments I infer you're a teacher. If so, thank you for all you do. Teachers are a grossly underappreciated pillar of society.

Buy some of those fire spell effects from Bones I?

[Bane Of Humanity]

Im glad the storm giant is separate.  That is a relief.  Now we just need scale pics.  Preferably him compared to Wizkids Storm Giants...

Just a TA, but hoping to be the instructor for this course soon (have to pass an exam first). In-person teaching was more fun than this distance course. I agree that teachers need more appreciation!

Soo... I have a (working) desk catapult kit on my 'to build eventually' list.. I got it from AS&S. They might still have some. <.<

I got Mr. Thorne a NO! button from the same guys. >.>

 

I'm afraid those giants might just end up on my 'yah, gimme' list; even though I'm pretty sure I have /no earthly use for them/ ... but I've been picking up a lot of the frost and fire giants anyway. Which... well, probably says I'm a sucker? But.. damnit, they're so cool. And the updates are... wow?! Tempting to get them just for the lols.

Kid adventurers are cool, but I can't help but think morbidly:

Us DMs have to willingly be mean TO CHILDREN. With swords and monsters and stuff! Whoops kiddo, you nat 1'd, your axe went astray and you chopped off your foot!

I mean, I totally did put my players through some nasty abuse with bad guys, but they're adult peoples and characters. And I kinda avoid that sort of meanness to the dog cleric sortof, BECAUSE HE'S A DOG. I can't flay a dog! Its a dog for goodness sake!

Give them all pimples and neuter the dog! MWAHAHAHA

I'm guessing we'll hit the next goal tomorrow before noon Reaper Time.

Im thinking late morning... perhaps, like today, right around Reaper’s opening time. 

 

We’re counting on you, night crew!

Good thing one is included in the core set 

 

You could probably make a decent one with hot glue if you didn't have another option.
