Zack Snyder is sensational

And that is bad. It is all he is. After watching several Zack Snyder films, (punctuated by sucker punch) I see lots of interesting visual choices he makes. He is great at making visually heavy scenes, without emotional weight. He builds intensity, expertly, without any big thoughts behind it. This is why his movies sell, and are "really cool" but lack a driving idea or larger umph

Heir of Smoke - D&D twine supplement

Image
I watched my kid struggle running D&D for their friends and I thought "How can I make this easier?" I present the Heir of Smoke. Heir of Smoke is a D&D adventure or supplement written in Twine, with some cool features. It has HP tracking javascript sliders, right there in line. This way you don't have to keep a separate piece of scratch paper. Random Encounters built into the twine logic Attack macros, so you can just tap the button and get a random D20 value and damage, custom tailored to the monster of course. A little 'read aloud' css style that puts text in a nice tan box. Check out the project here: https://emmettbaber.itch.io/heir-of-smoke Heir of Smoke by EmmettBaber and if you want to make your own check out the repo here:  https://github.com/CaptainEmber/TwineTracker I have a template file uploaded there that showcases all the features, and it already has the five rooms outlined!

D&D Encounter - Gelatinous Cube Assault Vehicles

"Here they come." The sound was like a pot of stew the size of a lake boiling over. Ten gelatinous cubes crested the hill and began sliding down towards the castle wall. Volleys of arrows sink slowly through the oozes... past dark forms inside. Suddenly four black Wyrmlings dive out the side flying up the walls with ease and plucking archers from their posts.  The idea here is to put enemies who are immune to acid , inside gelatinous cubes. You could do this with merfolk inside of water elementals similarly as well. OOoooooooh I gotta go write that.

GTS 001 - Quarantine Alpha

  Quarantine Alpha Evocation Get a piece of the biggest psychic mushroom’s brain to try and obfuscate thought energy. Caves that wrap around the surface of an immobile asteroid. Myconids Setting: A lavender asteroid coated in a deep orange fungal growth. The asteroid is stationary relative to the solar system. It is close enough to the sun that it should have fallen into the sun a long time ago. Deep craters intersect a network of tunnels beneath the surface and serve as massive skylights and windows out to the blackness of space. The spherical nature of the asteroid is represented by an unwrapped icosahedron with a hexagonal grid. Each face is a triangle, and has three tunnels off to adjacent rooms. The party teleports into the largest cave that perforates this asteroid. A five foot hollow brass sphere carved with swirling patterns lays motionless in a cradle made of carved stone and metal plates. Through the many swirling slashes in the surface a single rod can be found suspend...
