Celtic Articles: Indie Shops for Crafts

worldofcelts

I recently saw a post on jewelry replica shops for ancient pieces, so I thought I’d compile a list for shops containing Celtic goodies, using all my useful tags (crafts, moderncrafts, indie, shop & etsy). In these shops you will find jewelry made of copper, wood, etc.; knitwork, stone work, cool bottles with trinkets, leather accessories and more. Let’s support these wonderful artists if you enjoy handmade goodies!

So the DM said he wanted someone to make some Drama™ while the party is standing in a lawful Good human town

yourplayersaidwhat

Me, a Necromancer: “You want drama, ok I’ll give you some Drama”

DM: “What are you doing?”

Me: “Just you wait”

So I walk into the nearest tavern, where everyone just sees this 6ft Necromancer barge in and walk over to the bar tender

BT: “What business do you have, you monster”

Me: “I want to show you a magic trick”

DM: “Whatever the hell it is that you’re doing, I’m going to make you roll now, because if it’s less than a natural 20 it isn’t going to work”

So I roll and get a Nat 20

So I casted Turn Undead on every single person in the building, and make their skeletons rip out of their bodies.

DM tells us that 103 skeletons begin pouring out of the tavern, attacking anyone near by and start burning the town down, killing nearly every citizen inside.

He also tells us that because of me, the entire party has a kill on sight bounty on us and that I can’t enter any more towns without risking the entire place wanting to killing me.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Sharing because it’s actually a verified and sourced thing and not one of those dumbass fake tip posts.

NSFW ban fail

Reblog if you’re still seeing porn bots despite the NSFW ban. I’m still seeing them. Plenty of legitimate followers seem to be blocked from my feed, however.

@magnumpicactus the sand is on top of really hot coal and is pretty much boiling. The dude is dragging the pot of coffee on it to boil it. Its a traditional turkish way to make turkish coffee and its really good.

DMing Tiny Ones

I have a 4 year old I run short 15-20 minute ‘D&D’ games for. I thought some of you may find how I run these games interesting so here ya go…

The Player Character

The player can play any kind of character. They could be a weird LEGO barbarian, a squirting bath time turtle, or a broken clown doll named Zulu (my kid has issues) they all are viable given the simplicity of the rules.

Every character starts with 3 stress counters at the beginning of each session.

The Rules

To succeed at a task the player must roll a d6 and roll equal to or greater than:

DC 2-easy

DC 3- average

DC 4-hard

In non combat encounter, if a player fails a roll they can spend 1 stress to reroll and decrease the DC by 1.

Ex:

‘Can I convince the ogre to be my friend by making him a pie?’

‘Absolutely! You need a 3 or better.’

‘I got a 1… *hands over a stress* can I put whip cream on it and try again?’

‘Yes you can. You now need a 2 or better.’

‘A 6!’

‘Congrats the ogre loves the pie and thinks of you as a sister!’

In a combat encounter the players are either attacking a foe or dodging a baddie’s attack (the story teller never rolls dice, just the kids). Always assume the players go first in most circumstances.

If the player is hit by a baddie’s Attack they lose 1 stress. If the character has no more stress the baddie wins that fight and the story progresses in a natural way.

Minions lose after 1 hit, and to dodge their attacks or hit them is DC 2. (If there are no villains accompanying the minions you can increase their to hit DC to 3)

Villains lose after 2 hits, and to dodge their attacks or hit them is DC 3. (The villain can escape instead of being defeated for plot purposes if necessary)

Ex:

‘I rolled 2 to zap the goblin with my rainbow laser gun!’

‘You missed. The goblin screeches loudly at you trying to make your ears pop. Roll a 2 or better to protect your ears.’

‘I rolled a 4! I filled my ears with Cotten. Can I try to zap it again?’

‘Sure, you still need a 3 or better.’

‘5! I rainbow blast it!’

‘He is blinded by your radiance, runs into a wall, and knocks itself out.’
