  • I’ve been seeing things about matrix more and more and it’s seeming like something interesting. I checked out their website and, like a lot of this stuff, it’s a bit unclear for me.

    So you do as you do here and set up an account on an instance and then port everything through it? Does smashing all the different chats into one list have a way to differentiate them from one another? I’m just looking for more about it to help me understand it.









  • I like playing things that aren’t typical or really useful in some ways. I just want the experience to be unique and fun. What are some of the non-attack builds that you have thought about and/or tried that really stuck out for you?

    I’m a huge fan of flavor>>>>>usefulness. My current character has a self imposed fault that causes me to roll wisdom saves when I use fire spells from my top two spell slots. If I fail, I get disadvantage on all mental stats and advantage on all physical. It hasn’t happened much yet. Mainly when a friend is being dangerously hurt. Then my guy gets a little heated and burns spells at high level and faces the consequences, but it is worth it at the time.


  • I’m not doing anything other than character building for my current DnD game. At one point, I was playing both Pathfinder and 5e at the same time and realized just how bad 5e defined grappling. I spent a couple of weeks in my free time coming up with a way to define what you can do while grappled/grappling in 5e. I tried to make it more viable of a playstyle while not making it too broken. Sadly, I never got to actually playtest it with a group as we were swapping people around for DMing so they could all get a taste of it and none were experienced enough to allow for the playtest.

    I would be more than happy to share some about what I had done, I would just need to find the document. I would really love the idea of a character that is a bar brawler that just grapples and throws people around!



  • Have not messed around with the app much yet and didn’t know it would show up at all based off of my cursory glances so far. I mentioned in another comment that I was wondering if it could be set so that I only see Beehaw and not lemmy.ml so I could hop between the locations at will. Maybe in a future update in the app!

    Update: I poked around the app a bit more. I didn’t notice that in the login screen, the instance menu could scroll. It looked like it perfectly held the fours it originally showed. I was short on time when i originally looked and didn’t try scrolling there because of how nicely it fit. Figured i would update this in case others could use the info.
